Els catalans a les guerres del món
L’esperit de resistència d’un poble, el caràcter bel·licós dels catalans.Una aproximació fascinant i rigorosa a la participació de Catalunya a les guerres del món al llarg de la història, des de l’expedició contra el califat de Còrdova de l’any 1010 fins a la guerra dels Balcans dels anys 1991 al 1995. La presència bèl·lica dels catalans al món ha estat constant, tot i que mai fins ara havia estat prou documentada. Amb Els catalans a les guerres del món, els historiadors Josep Maria Solé i Sabaté i Eduard Puigventós López posen sobre la taula amb tots els detalls a l’abast –molts dels quals són arguments inèdits, textos sense ressenyar o dades mai publicades- una realitat sovint menystinguda: el poble català és d’esperit combatiu, indòcil i rebel i ha estat protagonista de moltes de les guerres que han marcat el transcurs de la història.

Ramón Mercader, el hombre del piolet
Una biografía apasionante que se lee como una historia de espionaje y seducción, identidades falsas, complots, atentados frustrados, idealismo y traición. La vida del asesino catalán más relevante de la historia embarcará al lector en un viaje fascinante por Francia, la Unión Soviética, México y Cuba, con la guerra civil española, la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra Fría como telón de fondo, en la sanguinaria persecución de Lev Davidovich, Trotsky, hasta el crimen final, piolet en mano. Rica en documentación, minuciosa, erudita y con sorprendentes fotografías inéditas, la ambiciosa investigación de Eduard Puigventós López, Ramón Mercader, el hombre del piolet, es una disquisición entre la heroicidad y la cobardía de un personaje de mil caras y a la vez el retrato cautivador de una época de grandes convulsiones políticas y enfrentamientos militares, en los que estaba en juego no sólo la hegemonía mundial, sino también la idea misma del mundo.

Spanish Gardens and Patios
Mildred and Arthur Byne explored exceptional Spanish gardens in the 1920s, sketching and photographing them in order to share design ideas with fellow enthusiasts in the United States. They focused on glazed polychrome tiles and green foliage as the the primary characteristic of a Spanish garden, in contrast with a "cool white house." They also turned their attention to patios as the embodiment of "indoor garden and outdoor salon." This book is their legacy, and offers a multitude of ideas in the forms of architecture, hardscaping, and landscaping. It is also a wonderful tour of historic gardens, including the Alhambra, and gardens of notables including the Duke of Medinaceli, the Duke of Alva, Seville, and the Marques de Viana, Cordova. Regions covered include Granada, Ronda, Las Ermitas, Sierra de Cordova, and Majorca.
Peter the Venerable and Islam
For over four centuries the principal source of Christian European knowledge of Islam stemmed from a project sponsored by Peter the Venerable, ninth abbot of Cluny, in 1142. This consisted of Latin translations of five Arabic works, including the first translation of the Koran in a western language. Known as the Toledan Collection, it was eventually printed in 1543 with an introduction by Martin Luther. The abbot also completed a handbook of Islam beliefs and a major analytical and polemical work, Liber contra sectam Saracenorum; annotated editions of these texts are included in this book. Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Medieval Islam
From the Preface: "This book book has grown out of a series of public lectures delivered in the spring of 1945 in the Division of the Humanities of the University of Chicago. It proposes to outline the cultural orientation of the Muslim Middle Ages, with eastern Islam as the center of attention. It attempts to characterize the medieval Muslim's view of himself and his peculiarly defined universe, the fundamental intellectual and emotional attitudes that governed his works, and the mood in which he lived his life. It strives to explain the structure of his universe in terms of inherited, borrowed, and original elements, the institutional framework within which it functioned, and its place in ...
Islam Under the Crusaders
The struggle between Islam and the Crusaders comprised a dialogue of cultures on a broad geographic scale and a wide expanse of time, a perennial seesaw of conquest in the West as in the East. Father Burns' pioneering work on Valencia has demonstrated that the inner reality of this sustained confrontation lies as much in the colonial interims as in the battles.
