Polo in Argentina
This work--the first of its kind in more than sixty years--covers polo in Argentina, from its beginnings in the 1870s to the summer of 2013. The history of the early pioneers is constructed with data not previously published, gathered from contemporary sources. International competitions are covered and include the Olympic Games, the Cup of the Americas and the World Championships. Particular attention is given to the major clubs, the Argentine and Hurlingham Open Championships, and the National Handicap Tournament. Several of the elite players merit individual or family mini-biographies. Myths in Argentine polo are also debunked, based upon careful analysis of contemporary sources. Travels abroad by Argentine teams are fully described as are the foreign teams that competed in Argentina. The work is enhanced by the author's personal observation of significant events and friendship with many of the participants.
Creative Ways to apply Historical GIS
This volume promotes the use of Historical GIS (H-GIS) for both education and research. It consists of a coherent set of chapters that allow readers to study the spatial histories of cities, infrastructure, landscapes, and more across Europe. Each chapter is accompanied by Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) including GIS data, guides and complementary material in .pdf format, and more. To date, there are no similar materials available in this field compiled in a single book.

Grandes mapas de la Historia
Cómo afirmaba el cartógrafo e historiador J.B. Harley (1932-1991) “cartografiar no es sólo dibujar mapas, es crear mundos”. Y es que los mapas, ya sean antiguos o contemporáneos, son mucho más que fieles representaciones de un territorio. Los mapas son, por encima de todo, testimonios de los valores, los conocimientos y las creencias del período histórico en el que fueron dibujados. En este libro se analizan 16 joyas de la cartografía, sobre los que se aplica una atenta mirada para desvelar las intenciones ocultas, las alusiones e incluso omisiones más o menos deliberadas, pero a la vez poner en valor la exquisitez técnica y artística con las que fueron realizados.
