Dictionary of Arabic and Allied Loanwords
One of the main cultural consequences of the contacts between Islam and the West has been the borrowing of hundreds of words, mostly of Arabic but also of other important languages of the Islamic world, such as Persian, Turkish, Berber, etc. by Western languages. Such loanwords are particularly abundant and relevant in the case of the Iberian Peninsula because of the presence of Islamic states in it for many centuries; their study is very revealing when it comes to assess the impact of those states in the emergence and shaping of Western civilization. Some famous Arabic scholars, above all R. Dozy, have tackled this task in the past, followed by other attempts at increasing and improving his pioneering work; however, the progresses achieved during the last quarter of the 20th c., in such fields as Andalusi and Andalusi Romance dialectology and lexicology made it necessary to update all the available information on this topic and to offer it in English.

Argentina Noir offers a guide to Argentine crime fiction, with a focus on works published since the year 2000.

Schmidt-Cruz addresses such topics as organized crime and institutional complicit...
Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia de la nobleza española
¿Sabías que los descendientes del emperador azteca Moctezuma recibieron una pensión hasta el siglo xx debido a su condición nobiliaria? ¿Conoces de qué forma está emparentada la monarquía española con la Santa Sede? ¿Imaginas cómo se formaban los bandos cortesanos y se fraguaban conspiraciones palaciegas? ¿Te sorprende que se hayan podido adquirir títulos nobiliarios por un «módico» precio? Desde sus orígenes en la Reconquista hasta la actualidad, esta obra nos sumerge en las intrigas, rarezas y curiosidades de la nobleza española a lo largo de la historia; y desentraña los entresijos de un grupo social que ha dejado una huella indeleble en la historia de España. ¿Sabrí...
