The Reason why
This book analyses the influence of Francoist policy on agricultural output in the 1939-55 period. The focus is on the wheat, olive and wine sectors and special attention is given to small-scale farmers. Agrarian policy for wheat and olive oil included pricefixing, production quotas and rationing of consumption. Producers and consumers circumvented intervention by creating a black market. When earnings from the black market are included, value of output per unit of land remained close to pre-war levels. It is then concluded that the decrease in wheat output was caused by lack of draught animals and fertilisers rather than state intervention. Intervention in the wheat sector was therefore des...

Profit and Passion
Colonial documents and works of literature from early modern Spain are rife with references to public women, whores, and prostitutes. In Profit and Passion, Nicole von Germeten offers a new history of the women who carried and resisted these labels of ill repute. The elusive, ever-changing terminology for prosecuted women voiced by kings, jurists, magistrates, inquisitors, and bishops, as well as disgruntled husbands and neighbors, foreshadows the increasing regulation, criminalization, and polarizing politics of modern global transactional sex. The author’s analysis concentrates on the words women spoke in depositions and court appearances, and how their language changed over time, pointing to a broader transformation in the history of sexuality, gender, and the ways in which courts and law enforcement processes affected women.

Historia de Jaén
Desde el Jaén prehistórico hasta el del siglo xxi, adentrándonos en sus raíces romanas, visigodas, árabes o cristianas, encontraremos que la historia de esta ciudad es realmente apasionante. Historia de la que quedan muchísimos vestigios como la huella indeleble de un pasado esplendoroso que no está reñido con un presente y un futuro regio. A través de estas páginas, Juan Vicente Córcoles, nos va desbrozando cada matiz de la ciudad que se alza hermosamente poliédrica a los pies del Cerro de Santa Catalina, y así consigue que el lector conozca la magia de cada una de las bellas particularidades que, entre muchas cosas más, hicieron de Jaén, «Guarda y Defendimiento de los Reinos de Castilla» y «capital del Santo Reino». «Es la ciudad de la más grande del Ándalus y la que con más fortalezas cuenta, no pudiendo los cristianos apoderarse de ella sino después de un largo asedio, rindiéndose al fin a Abenalhaúcar, señor de Granada». Abu-l-Fida (1273-1331)

Local antiquities, local identities
This collection investigates the wide array of local antiquarian practices that developed across Europe in the early modern era. Breaking new ground, it explores local concepts of antiquity in a period that has been defined as a uniform 'Renaissance'. Contributors take a novel approach to the revival of the antique in different parts of Italy, as well as examining other, less widely studied antiquarian traditions in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain and Poland. They consider how real or fictive ruins, inscriptions and literary works were used to demonstrate a particular idea of local origins, to rewrite history or to vaunt civic pride. In doing so, they tackle such varied subjects as municipal antiquities collections in Southern Italy and France, the antiquarian response to the pagan, Christian and Islamic past on the Iberian Peninsula, and Netherlandish interest in megalithic ruins thought to be traces of a prehistoric race of Giants.
