A Linking of Heaven and Earth
The Reformation of the sixteenth century shattered the unity of medieval Christendom, and the resulting fissures spread to the corners of the earth. No scholar of the period has done more than Carlos M.N. Eire, however, to document how much these ruptures implicated otherworldly spheres as well. His deeply innovative publications helped shape new fields of study, intertwining social, intellectual, cultural, and religious history to reveal how, lived beliefs had real and profound implications for social and political life in early modern Europe. Reflecting these themes, the volume celebrates the intellectual legacy of Carlos Eire's scholarship, applying his distinctive combination of cultural...
Rethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain
Rethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain claims that theology and canon law were decisive for shaping ideas, debates, and decisions about key political and religious problems in Renaissance Spain. This book studies Catholic thought during the Spanish Renaissance, with the various contributors specifically exploring the ecclesiology and heresiology of the period. Today, these two subjects are considered to be strictly branches of theology, but at the time, they were also dealt with in the field of canon law.

La Historia Moderna de la Enseñanza Secundaria. Contenidos, métodos y representaciones
La Edad Moderna es un período fundamental para la comprensión del mundo y de la sociedad actual. Sin embargo, en España existe una gran distancia entre los libros de texto y las propuestas curriculares ofrecidas en los centros de educación secundaria y el ritmo que sigue la investigación y la innovación en este campo. Conscientes de esta situación, esta obra colectiva gira en torno a tres ejes vertebradores. En primer lugar, se abordan los contenidos; en segundo lugar, los métodos de enseñanza; y, en tercer lugar, las imágenes y las representaciones, muchas veces estereotipadas, existentes sobre esta época en nuestro presente. Los tres bloques recogen numerosas aportaciones tanto desde planteamientos teóricos y de investigación renovados como de propuestas didácticas claras y útiles con las que se pretende contribuir a avanzar en la enseñanza de la Edad Moderna en la Educación Secundaria.
Eighteenth-Century Naval Officers
This book surveys the lives and careers of naval officers across Europe at the height of the age of sail. It traces the professionalization of naval officers by exploring their preparation for life at sea and the challenges they faced while in command. It also demonstrates the uniqueness of the maritime experience, as long voyages and isolation at sea cemented their bond with naval officers across Europe while separating them from landlubbers. It depicts, in a way no previous study has, the parameters of their shared experiences—both the similarities that crossed national boundaries and connected officers, and the differences that can only be seen from an international perspective.
