Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia
In Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia, twenty-three international authors examine Galicia’s changing place in Iberia, Europe, and the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds from late antiquity through the thirteenth century.

Ocean Energy
Engineers’ dreams and fossil energy replacement schemes can come true. Man has been tapping the energy of the sea to provide power for his industries for centuries.

Since the initiation of the St Malo project in France, similar projects have gone into active service where methods have been devised to cut down on costs, new types of turbines developed and cost competitiveness considerably improved. Tidal power has enormous potential. The book reviews recent progress in extracting power from the ocean, surveys the history of tidal power harnessing and updates a prior publication by the author.
La educación para el desarrollo y la ciudadanía global
La educación para el desarrollo anhela convertirse en una herramienta de transformación social, una oportunidad para el aprendizaje participativo que genere conciencias críticas haciendo a las personas responsables y activas para construir una sociedad más justa.

Con esta cooperación se intenta mejorar la práctica de la educación para el desarrollo, facilitando la transferencia del conocimiento. Esperamos que las experiencias que se muestran sirvan para identificar metodologías, temáticas, enfoques e instrumentos, y contribuyan también a visibilizar las luces y sombras, los aciertos y dificultades a los que nos enfrentamos.
