This book provides a compact, up-to-date and detailed overview of the vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula, a highly diverse part of Europe in the Mediterranean area. Written by a group of experienced researchers, the volume includes a first section with general chapters discussing the climate, the biogeography and the flora, and a second section with detailed descriptions of the 14 regional sectors into which the peninsula and Balearic Islands have been divided. A third section explores special features, such as aquatic vegetation, gypsum and dolomite vegetation, coastal vegetation, mountain flora and vegetation, conservation issues and alien flora.
Pastoralism is a diffused and ancient form of human subsistence and probably one of the most studied by anthropologists at the crossroads between continuities and transformations. The present critical discourse on sustainable and responsible development implies a change of practices, a huge socio-economic transformation, and the return of new shepherds and herders in different European regions. Transhumance and extensive breeding are revitalized as a potential resource for inner and rural areas of Europe against depopulation and as an efficient form of farming deeply influencing landscape and functioning as a perfect eco-system service. This book is an occasion to reconsider grazing communities’ frictions in the new global heritage scenario.

La resistencia silente, sustentada sobre voces y gestos rastreables, configura la conflictividad en Galicia durante los dos primeros decenios del franquismo. El estereotipo de un entorno sumiso y afín al régimen se desdibuja ante la proyección de actitudes comunitarias de conflicto. Ana Cabana indaga en este libro las formas de disenso que son activadas durante este periodo por la población rural y configuran un marco de identidad colectiva reconocible, coherente y protector de un modo de vida y un orden propios. Los testimonios de naturaleza archivística u oral, retazos de memoria colectiva y de oficialidad, desbrozan el camino y llenan de sentido un paisaje de resistencias civiles poblado de simbolismos verbales y gestuales, pasividad consecuente, redes de apoyo, clandestinidades y memorias vivas.
