Gathering Souls: Jesuit Missions and Missionaries in Oceania (1668–1945)
This essay deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus in today’s Micronesia from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos, the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never officially set foot on the Marianas during the nineteenth century. It was not until the twentieth century that they went back to Micronesia, taking charge of the mission on the Northern Marianas along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands, thus returning to one of the cradles of Jesuit martyrdom in Oceania.
De la cuina a la fàbrica
L'alimentació centra gran part dels principals debats que es donen en l'actualitat a la nostra societat. Totes les etapes de la cadena alimentària des de la producció primària dels aliments fins la seua comercialització han estat motiu de controvèrsia. Per abordar aquestes qüestions l'anàlisi històrica resultarà una eina molt valuosa. Així es fa palès en aquest llibre. Amb ell ens desplaçarem a l'Europa de finals del segle XIX i començaments del segle XX i així ens introduirem en els grans canvis que llavors experimentà el sector de l'alimentació; uns canvis que establiren les bases de l'actual cadena alimentària. De la cuina a la fàbrica aborda aquesta reorganització de la cadena alimentària i posteriorment aprofundeix en les conseqüències que tingué sobre la qualitat i seguretat dels aliments. Ximo Guillem-Llobat és llicenciat en Bioquímica i en Biologia (UVEG), Màster en Comunicació Científica (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) i Doctor per la Universitat de València. L'estudi històric de la gestió de la qualitat i seguretat alimentària en el tombant de segle XIX ha estat la seua principal línia de recerca.

Alboran Sea - Ecosystems and Marine Resources
The Alboran Sea represents a regional Mediterranean space where North and South worlds merges, creating a geopolitical region where marine resources and maritime activities should be managed from a national and international perspectives. It is widely known, that currently the planet is suffering a global change, and it is also affecting the Alboran Sea, its ecosystems and populations. An important first step to update a paramount vision on this region is to understand the climatic, geologic and oceanographic, including biochemical cycles, process which shapes the rich geodiversity, biodiversity, the productivity, and the sustainable use of the marine resources from Alboran Sea.

High Mountain Conservation in a Changing World
This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.
