Jousting in Medieval and Renaissance Iberia
Based on close reading of original sources, Fallows (Spanish, U. of Georgia) offers a detailed reconstruction of the history and practice of jousting, detailing techniques and injuries, styles of fighting, and all the parts of the arms and armor used, with frequent citing of original descriptions. As is typical for this publisher, the volume is beautifully produced, printed on good stock and well-illustrated with color and b&w plates. Notable is the inclusion of three 15th- and 16th-century jousting manuals, presented in full in side-by-side English and Spanish translation. A glossary and bibliography are provided. The Boydell Press is an imprint of Boydell & Brewer. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

The Barcelona Reader
Over the last twenty years there has been a growing international interest in the city of Barcelona. This has been reflected in the academic world through a series of studies, courses, seminars, and publications. The Barcelona Reader hinges together a selection of the best academic articles, written in English, about the city, and its main elements of identity and interest: art, urban planning, history and social movements. The book includes scholarly essays about Barcelona that can be of interest to the student and the general public alike. It focuses on cultural representations of the city: the arts (including literature) provide a complex yet discontinuous portrait of the city, similar to a patchwork. The authors selected create a kaleidoscope of views and voices thus presenting a diverse yet inclusive Barcelona portrait. The Barcelona Reader offers a multifaceted assessment that will be essential reading for anyone interested in this iconic city.
Catálogo del fondo histórico vasco
La Biblioteca Universitaria de Deusto ha elaborado este «Catálogo del Fondo Histórico Vasco 1831-1939» (F.H.V.) a partir de una selección de los registros bibliográficos de su Catálogo General informatizado, pertenecientes a dicha sección. El objetivo de esta edición impresa es difundir el conocimiento de esta colección entre investigadores y estudiosos de la cultura vasca escrita y publicada entre 1831 y 1939. El periodo 1831-1939 se ha delimitado, considerando 1831 el inicio de la imprenta mecánica y 1939, final de la Guerra Civil Española, acontecimiento que produjo enormes pérdidas en bibliotecas y colecciones particulares, por lo que merece su protección en la sección de reserva.
