The increasing awareness on the varied consequences of hypogonadism in distinct organs and systems has supported the notion of estrogens as systemic agents. This observation is congruent with the variety of tissues affected by - trogens when used in hormone therapy formulations on hypogonadic women. Apart from the genital tract and the breast, recognized as traditional targets for estrogens, the skeleton, the vascular tree, or the central nervous system, are good examples of territories that have demonstrated sensitivity to estrogens. This evidence has created great interest, as shown by the great amount of lit- ature that has been produced on the bene?ts and risks associated with the use of...

(The open access version of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation.) The book proposes a reassessment of royal portraiture and its function in the Middle Ages via a comparative analysis of works from different areas of the Mediterranean world, where images are seen as only one outcome of wider and multifarious strategies for the public mise-en-scène of the rulers’ bodies. Its emphasis is on the ways in which medieval monarchs in different areas of the Mediterranean constructed their outward appearance and communicated it by means of a variety of rituals, object-types, and media. Contributors are Michele Bacci, Nicolas Bock, Gerardo Boto Varela, Branislav Cvetković, Sofia Fernández Pozzo, Gohar Grigoryan Savary, Elodie Leschot, Vinni Lucherini, Ioanna Rapti, Juan Carlos Ruiz Souza, Marta Serrano-Coll, Lucinia Speciale, Manuela Studer-Karlen, Mirko Vagnoni, and Edda Vardanyan.
Érase una vez un joven y pequeño país de manos y brazos alargados, colocado en una posición estratégica entre grandes de Europa, guardando siempre el equilibrio, que aspiró siempre a educar y formar a sus ciudadanos con criterio armonioso, práctico y científico, y fue alcanzando cotas de bienestar, cultura y vida democrática que le convierten en la envidia de medio mundo. Hablamos de Bélgica y su educación, pero sobre todo de la proyección e influencias externas e internacionales que logra alcanzar, apoyada en su sentido práctico para orientar la formación y la educación de niños, jóvenes y adultos.Bélgica es un crisol de culturas, lenguas y tradiciones que marcan su tradic...
Esta publicación recoge las ponencias presentadas en las jornadas de estudio sobre la historia contemporánea de Castilla y León, llevadas a cabo en marzo de 2006, y algunos artículos sobre el tema incluidos posteriormente. Historiadores, sociólogos, historiadores de la economía e investigadores sobre educación reflexionan sobre los acontecimientos y los procesos históricos más importantes para Castilla y León durante los siglos XIX y XX. La existencia de nuestra región como sujeto histórico y las perspectivas que sobre ella se han construido en otras zonas de España son los dos grandes temas que tienen en común los textos aquí reunidos.
A Plural Peninsula embodies and upholds Professor Simon Barton’s influential scholarly legacy, eschewing rigid disciplinary boundaries. Focusing on textual, archaeological, visual and material culture, the sixteen studies in this volume offer new and important insights into the historical, socio-political and cultural dynamics characterising different, yet interconnected areas within Iberia and the Mediterranean. The structural themes of this volume --the creation and manipulation of historical, historiographical and emotional narratives; changes and continuity in patterns of exchange, cross-fertilisation and the recovery of tradition; and the management of conflict, crisis, power and authority-- are also particularly relevant for the postmedieval period, within and beyond Iberia. Contributors are Janna Bianchini, Jerrilynn D. Dodds, Simon R. Doubleday, Ana Echevarría Arsuaga, Maribel Fierro, Antonella Liuzzo Scorpo, Fernando Luis Corral, Therese Martin, Iñaki Martín Viso, Amy G. Remensnyder, Maya Soifer Irish, -Teresa Tinsley, Sonia Vital Fernández, Alun Williams, Teresa Witcombe, and Jamie Wood. See inside the book
