Primer catálogo florístico del parque natural del río Turia. Incluye la lista completa de cuadrículas UTM de 1 km de lado, mapas de distribución de tallados de algunas especies seleccionadas y va ilustrado con 92 fotos de flores. El tram de llit i riberes del riu Túria, situat entre els municipis de Pedralba i Paterna, vora de 4.600 hectàrees, és un dels últims pulmons forestals que sobreviu en una zona tan poblada i industrialitzada com és l'àrea metropolitana de València. És una característica de la zona la trobada entre els relleus orogràfics del Sistema Ibèric i la plana al·luvial del riu Túria, que configura un paisatge pla, amb l'empremta del llit i la ribera del Túr...
La Universitat de València té la ferma voluntat d'abordar accions institucionals al territori i referides al territori, i per això dedica aquest estudi a tres ambients diferents tan diferents com el litoral (Parc Natural de l'Albufera), el fluvial (Parc Natural del Túria) i el muntanyós (Parc Natural de la Calderona). La publicació recull recerques, anàlisis i reflexions des d'una perspectiva multidisciplinar, sobre la fauna i la flora, la qualitat de les aigües, els usos del sòl, els jaciments arqueològics, les expressions artístiques i arquitectòniques, les rutes, les problemàtiques específiques, els processos de creació de les figures de protecció, els valors mediambientals i les activitats econòmiques predominants. En definitiva, aquest volum representa l'interès de la Universitat per transferir coneixements i aproximar l'acadèmia a la ciutadania.

Este libro cubre las elecciones de 1952 al 1964, desde el dominio maximo del PPD, en 1952, hasta el primer relevo de gobernadores, aunque del mismo partido, en 1964. Cubre el ascenso del movimiento Estadista y la caida del movimiento Independentista. This book covers the elections held in Puerto Rico between 1952 and 1964. That period saw the highest point in the dominance by the Popular Party; and it also saw the fall and rebirth of the pro-Statehood movement (from 12.87%% in '52 to 34.8%% in '64), coupled with the rise and fall of the pro-Independence movement (from 18.98%% in '52 to 2.81%% in '64).
Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English. Like the author's biographical directory for the years 1935–2009, it draws on many years of research in Mexico and the United States and seeks not only to provide accurate biographical information about each entry but also, where possible and appropriate, to connect these politicians to more recent leadership generations. Thus, Mexican Political Biographies, 1884-1934 not only is a useful historical source but also provides additional information on the family backgrounds of many contemporary figures. The work includes those figures who ...
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are...
Murder and Politics in Mexico studies the causes of political killings in Mexico’s liberalization-democratization within the larger context of political repression. Mexico’s democratization process has entailed a little known but highly significant cost of human lives in pre- and post-election violence. The majority of these crimes remain in a state of impunity: in other words, no person had been charged with the crime and/or no investigation of it had occurred. This has several consequences for Mexican politics: when the level of violence is extreme and when political killings that are systematic and invasive are involved, this could indicate a real fracture in the democratic system. Th...

Over the course of some two centuries following the conquests and consolidations of Spanish rule in the Americas during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries—the period designated as the Baroque—new cultural forms sprang from the cross-fertilization of Spanish, Amerindian, and African traditions. This dynamism of motion, relocation, and mutation changed things not only in Spanish America, but also in Spain, creating a transatlantic Hispanic world with new understandings of personhood, place, foodstuffs, music, animals, ownership, money and objects of value, beauty, human nature, divinity and the sacred, cultural proclivities—a whole lexikon of things in motion, variation, an...
