This edited volume highlights the geographies of six European Mediterranean countries: France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Greece. The book provides a balanced overview on what the geographers of these six countries have investigated and reflected in recent decades. This thematically arranged book takes into account the national differences of the authors, but also highlights the main contributions of Mediterranean geographies on a global scale. It reinforces a perception of common problems and debates in Southern Europe. This book appeals to the institutionalized geographical community of Mediterranean countries but also to a global audience of scholars of geography, territorial and spatial studies, social sciences and history.

Este trabalho resulta de uma investigação em Museologia e Património Cultural sobre a concetualização do Museu Nacional da Ciência e da Técnica (1971-1976).

"For many decades, José Saramago has been a staunch defender of the role of literature to both serve and be perceived as public discourse. When, in October 1998, he became the first Portuguese-language author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, his conviction was supported by the assurance that, at any rate, this particular writer's literary discourse was guaranteed to be widely (and globally) publicized. If, as Wlad Godzich has claimed, the severely limited possibility of public discourse in the contemporary world is compensated by the ever-multiplying variety of ways to publicize discourses ("Workshop"), Saramago has taken full advantage of the opportunities offered in this respect by the Nobel prize as probably the most effective institutionalized instrument of publicity that high literary discourse which is produced worldwide has at its annual disposal. His international visibility greatly amplified, Saramago could be seen in the last two years shuttling the globe and making globally publicized statements on behalf of the many political causes that have attracted his attention and support." -- Publisher's description.

O quarto volume da série de monografias "Coleções Em Foco | Palácios Nacionais | Sintra Queluz Pena" é consagrado à atividade de D. Fernando II enquanto colecionador, tendo por base um inventário manuscrito pelo rei em 1866, documento doado ao Palácio Nacional da Pena. Dedicado aos núcleos de ourivesaria, marfins e esmaltes da coleção, o inventário constitui uma ferramenta essencial para dar a conhecer aquela faceta do monarca, uma vez que este alude, em discurso direto, aos objetos reunidos, descrevendo-os, classificando-os, revelando proveniências, propondo datações e fazendo por vezes apreciações técnicas e estéticas acerca dos mesmos. O interesse do inventário de 1866...
