Ciencia y Política. José Giral Pereira
La obra de Francisco Javier Puerto Sarmiento, Académico de Número de la Real Academia de la Historia y de la Real Academia de Farmacia y catedrático de Historia de la Farmacia de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, se centra en el análisis vital, académico y político de una de las figuras más relevantes para el devenir de la Segunda República y, sin embargo, más olvidadas. Se advierte en la personalidad de José Giral una doble vocación que le empujará por derroteros aparentemente contradictorios: la del hombre de ciencia, desde suposición como catedrático de la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad Central de Madrid, y la de hombre comprometido con unos ideales de lucha demo...
Colonial Botany
In the early modern world, botany was big science and big business, critical to Europe's national and trade ambitions.

Chymia
In September 2008, an international conference on the history of alchemy was held at El Escorial, close to the ancient location of the distilling houses operating under royal patronage during the second half of the 16th century. The present book consists of a selection of the papers presented then, shedding light on little-studied medieval and early modern texts, important alchemical doctrines such as medieval corpuscularianism, early modern spiritus mundi or the function of salt within chymical principles, and discussing such prominent figures as Paracelsus, Isaac Hollandus, Michael Sendivogius, Fontenelle or G. E. Stahl. Last but not least, the book offers new insights on the most recent history of Spanish alchemy.
Sailors, Statesmen and the Implementation of Naval Strategy
Explores the varied relationship between political leaders and naval experts, from the 16th to 21st centuries The shaping of national defence strategies is particularly difficult in the case of navies.

Bringing together historical examples from Britain, the United States, Spain and France, the book provides insights into this key relationship.The authors highlight factors which have made for successful relationships between political leaders and naval experts, showing how changing circumstances have affected ...
