La ilustración de los libros infantiles cuenta ya con un lugar propio en la evolución de las artes plásticas contemporáneas. Desde el último tercio del siglo XIX, marco del primer desarrollo del libro y de la literatura infantiles en España, hasta el momento actual, iniciado ya el siglo XXI, muchas son las aportaciones creadoras que han contribuido a esa consolidación artística y al correspondiente reconocimiento social. Sin embargo, faltan aún una recuperación más completa de esa memoria histórica, su necesario análisis y la imprescindible divulgación de la labor de notables artistas que se han ocupado y se ocupan de esa particular tarea de recrear con imágenes los más diversos textos literarios.

As we work to end the current pandemic, we must consider the post-COVID-19 pandemic era and address th...
This multivolume set is much more than a collection of essays on sports and sporting cultures from around the world: it also details how and why sports are played wherever they exist, and examines key charismatic athletes from around the world who have transcended their sports. Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practice provides a unique, global overview of sports and sports cultures. Unlike most works of this type, this book provides both essays that examine general topics, such as globalization and sport, international relations and sport, and tourism and sport, as well as essays on sports history, culture, and practice in world regions—for example, Latin America and the Car...
