The Landscape of the Sierra Nevada
This book covers the landscape, geography and environment of the Sierra Nevada in Spain. The Sierra Nevada hosted the last glaciers in southern Europe. Today, it is one of the most important centers of plant diversity in the western Mediterranean and one of the most outstanding in Europe. This massif has ideal conditions to analyze past environments as well as the effects of global change on ecosystems. This can be seen in the large number of projects that are being conducted within the umbrella of the Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory. This book summarizes all the scientific knowledge available about this massif, from the geomorphological and ecological perspectives to the recent spatial adaptive management and Open Science initiatives. Focusing on the very sensitive mountain environment of Sierra Nevada, the book intends to be a reference for many people interested in mountain processes. The audience would include scientists from all disciplines, but it would also target on an audience beyond the academia (territorial managers, environmentalists, mountaineers, politicians, technicians, etc.).
Avances, métodos y técnicas en el estudio del periglaciarismo
Este monográfico incluye una selección de la producción científica recinte (2011-2013) de los grupos de trabajo de la International Association Permafrost (IPA) de España y Portugal. En esta ocasión, se dedica particular atención al estudio de nuevas técnicas de control de los procesos periglaciares y, también, al interés creciente que viene despertando el continente antártico y, más recientemente, la presencia hipotética de morfologías de origen frío en el planeta Marte.
Iberia, Land of Glaciers
Iberia, Land of Glaciers: How The Mountains Were Shaped By Glaciers discusses the impact of past glaciers in the current landscape of Iberia. Currently, there are only small glaciers in the highest peaks of the Pyrenees that are the legacy of the last cold period that ended at the end of the 19th century: The Little Ice Age. However, an accurate observation of the landscape of the highest peaks and adjacent valleys of the Iberian Peninsula reveals a past shaped by the successive passage of glaciers with hundreds of meters of ice, similar to what happens today in the Alps or Patagonia.Iberian glaciation has resulted in ice expansion through valleys that are now used by the road network and wh...
Otro Viaje extraordinario
Un nutrido grupo de investigadores de universidades alemanas, belgas, canadienses, estadounidenses, francesas, italianas, portuguesas y españolas estudian el sentido del viaje en la obra de Julio Verne. En esta nuevo volumen del Grupo de investigación T3AxEL se analizan los contactos del escritor con científicos de la época, la influencia que ejerció en otros autores, su imaginario geográfico, su interés por la técnica y las ciencias naturales, sus síntesis históricas, y se aportan algunas claves biográficas. Un último capítulo examina un curioso relato breve sobre los Pirineos.
Good Families of Barcelona
Gary McDonogh combines ethnology and history to analyze the organization, reproduction, and decline of an urban industrial elite. Using Barcelona as the foundation for more general consideration of power-holding groups, he tells the story of the Good Families," those few hundred lineages who have dominated the city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Originally published in 1986. 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.
