La religiosidad medieval en España
En esta obra sobre la historia de la religiosidad en España, continuación de un primer volumen dedicado a la misma temática durante la Alta Edad Media, el autor se mueve en los mismos parámetros ideológicos: presentar la religiosidad peninsular de los siglos centrales del Medioevo, XI-XIII, dentro de la dinámica interestructural del feudalismo como modo de producción dominante en su etapa de consolidación definitiva. La religiosidad, que trasciende con muchos las instituciones -no estamos ante una obra clásica de historia de la Iglesia- es determinada en sus formas más profundas y en sus manifestaciones por otras estructuras como las políticas y sobre todo las económicas. Por otr...

Edición universitaria. Cuestión de estilo
Se ha dicho mucho sobre libros, editores y ediciones, pero muy poco sobre edición universitaria. En esta obra se aclaran las diferencias y se aprecian las semejanzas. Adicionalmente, se abordan temas interesantes, pero menos habituales, como las encuadernaciones históricas y artísticas o cuestiones cruciales presentadas desde una perspectiva eminentemente práctica: cuáles son los derechos y los deberes de autores y editores; si las obras se ponen en abierto o no, si las investigaciones deben ubicarse en repositorios, de acuerdo con la ley de la Ciencia o si se puede optar por no hacerlo... Junto a todo ello, el lector puede encontrar respuestas a interrogantes o dudas que con tanta frec...

Spain is Different?
The end of the second millennium witnessed an increase in science-fictional apocalyptic narratives globally. There is a noteworthy difference between such fictions from Latin America and the anglophone world and those from Spain, in which scientific explanations of events coexist with biblically-inspired plots, characters and imagery. This is the first book-length study of either science-fictional novels or apocalyptic literature in that country, analysing six such works between 1990 and 2005. Within a theoretical framework that includes critical and genre theories, archetypal criticism, and biblical scholarship, the book explains this phenomenon as a result of three historical factors: the ‘Two Spains’, Spanish ‘difference’, and the ‘Pact of Silence’, a tacit agreement that made justice and accountability impossible in the name of a peaceful transition to democracy. It repressed any processing of the historical trauma experienced during the Civil War and dictatorship, trauma that manifests itself symbolically in these fictions.

Rulers and Realms in Medieval Iberia, 711-1492
The Muslim conquest of Iberia in 711 began nearly eight centuries of struggle for control of the peninsula. The invaders quickly achieved military supremacy, but political dominance was less complete. Within a few years, a small band of Christian rebels defied Muslim authority, establishing their own ruling class in the northern mountains of Asturias. The opposing forces competed for control until the Catholic Monarchs Fernando and Isabel established absolute rule in 1492. Drawing on the latest scholarship, this comprehensive study traces the succession of Iberian sovereigns during a complicated period in early European history.
Los Cabos
Through 25 peer-reviewed essays, scholars from the United States and Mexico delve into the environmental, social, economic, and cultural-historical components of what we call an environmental and tourism paradise - the region of Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. This region is vulnerable precisely because of the strong development pressure generated mainly by the tourism sector. Los Cabos analyzes these problems as an opportunity to contribute to the sustainable development of the region. Also available in Spanish, see Los Cabos: Prospectiva de un Paraíso Natural y Turístico. Published by San Diego State University Press and Institute for Regional Studies of the Californias
Control and Resistance
This highly original book addresses the understudied connection between food and authoritarian control during the Franco regime.
Medieval Fare
Unique in its cultural and religious makeup, medieval Iberia represented a crossroads of cultures. This crossroads was reflected in large and small ways. On a grand scale, we see the convergence of intellectual ideas and great innovations in agriculture and science. On a more intimate level, we see an intersection of cultures as reflected in habits of consumption. The acts of producing food, cooking, and eating demonstrate the political realities of the land: at times interdependent, and, at times, at odds. Food, as an archeological and anthropological tool, can help us understand a particular moment in time. In considering the nature of consumption, we may arrive at the heart of a culture. In Medieval Fare, the author explores food references found in a number of medieval Iberian texts in order to expand our knowledge of daily life in the Middle Ages. By examining the depiction of food and consumption, this pioneering study provides insight into the cultural, religious, and social complexities of medieval Iberia.
