The Diplomacy of Independence
Presenting more than seventy documents from Spanish archives that provide a rare glimpse into Benjamin Franklin’s connection to Spain. Although Benjamin Franklin never set foot in Spain, from 1774 until his death in 1790 he maintained contact and correspondence with a wide range of Spanish officials and intellectuals. As a diplomat, Franklin carried papers to Paris naming him minister to Spain, yet he remained in the French capital where he dealt with Spain’s ambassador to France, the formidable Count of Aranda.

Colonial Botany
In the early modern world, botany was big science and big business, critical to Europe's national and trade ambitions. Tracing the dynamic relationships among plants, peoples, states, and economies over the course of three centuries, this collection of essays offers a lively challenge to a historiography that has emphasized the rise of modern botany as a story of taxonomies and "pure" systems of classification. Charting a new map of botany along colonial coordinates, reaching from Europe to the New World, India, Asia, and other points on the globe, Colonial Botany explores how the study, naming, cultivation, and marketing of rare and beautiful plants resulted from and shaped European voyages...

El espíritu alquímico de Don Quijote
Aquí se encontrará el camino que don Quijote, con paso humilde, inicia tras la mayor aventura jamás contada. Cuatrocientos años después aún podemos imaginar una nueva salida como escuderos fieles a la más disparatada idea que, de entre todas las posibles, decidió recorrer: la alquímica. Tal vez sea el momento de entrar en una alquimia quijotesca que va mucho más allá de fabricar oro artificial, y que despierta un vivo interés en muchas personas, como consecuencia de que la alquimia encarna ese modo integral de entender la Naturaleza y de conocerse a sí mismo. Os doy, pues, la bienvenida, al cautiverio de la lectura: quizá mejor, al único lugar donde la imaginación podrá llev...
