La plana de Lleida és ideal per a la pràctica del ciclisme, tant per la seva orografia com per la infinitat de camins existents. El Segrià és una de les comarques més extenses de tot Catalunya. L'aigua del riu Segre i dels canals que la creuen (d'Urgell i d'Aragó i Catalunya), amb una densa xarxa de sèquies derivades, bonifiquen les terres fèrtils, i la ciutat de Lleida li dóna la personalitat. Aquest llibre proposa 14 rutes que recorren gran part d'aquesta comarca i que volen fer conèixer diferents aspectes de la seva gent i del seu patrimoni natural. Són rutes pensades per fer acompanyats dels amics i de la família i, per aquesta raó, no són excessivament llargues, ni transcorren per camins en molt mal estat, ni tenen grans desnivells acumulats. A més d'un mapa general de la zona, per cada una de les 14 rutes que proposa el llibre hi trobarem un petit quadre resum de les característiques, el croquis de l'itinerari, la gràfica de les altituds i l'explicació cronològica amb referències detallades dels llocs d'interès arquitectònic, arqueològic o paisatgístic.

Aunque la creatividad española en general y el diseño en particular viven un momento de eclosión y reconocimiento a nivel internacional, se trata de una disciplina apenas divulgada. Este libro nos ofrece por primera vez conjuntamente los principales talentos del joven diseño industrial español. Un total de veintiún diseñadores muestran sus principales creaciones, todas de este siglo.
The author, himself a Romani, speaks directly to the gadze (non-Gypsy) reader about his people, their history since leaving India one thousand years ago and their rejection and exclusion from society in the countries where they settled, their health, food, culture and society.
The language of the body is central to the study of flamenco. From the records of the Inquisition, to 16th century literature, to European travel diaries, the Spanish dancer beguiles and fascinates. The word flamenco evokes the image of a sensuous and rebellious woman--the bailaora --whose movements seduce the audience, only to reject their attention with a stomp of defiance. The dancer's body is an agent of ideological resistance, conveying a conflicting desire for subjectivity and autonomy and implying deeply held ideas about history, national identity, femininity and masculinity. This collection of new essays provides an overview of flamenco scholarship, illuminating flamenco's narrative and chronology and addressing some common misconceptions. The contributors offer fresh perspectives on age-old themes and suggest new paradigms for flamenco as a cultural practice. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

The Palacio de Congresos de Catalunya-the Catalan Conference Center-is one of Carlos Ferrater's most recent works, created in collaboration with Jose M. Cartana. This monograph on the buidling is an exhaustive analysis of the construction process, from the planning phase to its actual completion. As such, it will be a valuable book for those involved in the design of public buildings, as Ferrater is at the forefront of contemporary architecture. The building itself is divided into three sections, separated from each other by two interior streets that provide natural light for the rooms. The main entrance has a large vestibule and a hall with an amphitheater for 2,500 conference-goers. The central section can be subdivided into a multitude of smaller rooms and is reserved for more varied uses. The third and smallest section houses the cafeteria, offices, and other ancillary spaces.
