La percepción del clima y las catástrofes en los epistolarios españoles del siglo XVIII
La preocupación social por las calamidades provocadas por acontecimientos naturales de rango extraordinario provocó, sobre todo durante el siglo XVIII, múltiples esfuerzos de observación y reflexión que han desembocado en un importante patrimonio documental que precisa de ser analizado, entre el que se encuentra la correspondencia privada. Tras la consulta de diferentes epistolarios protagonizados por múltiples personajes del Setecientos, la correspondencia de los Borbones españoles conforma el conjunto epistolar principal utilizado en esta investigación. Han sido recopiladas y analizadas más de 6.000 cartas pertenecientes a los borbones españoles, concretamente las cartas que los reyes Isabel de Farnesio y Felipe V intercambiaron con sus hijos y también las que su primogénito, Carlos III, envió a Italia ya como rey de España. La gran cantidad de información climática sobre los Reales Sitios contenida en esta correspondencia familiar nos ha permitido crear dos series climáticas a partir de una doble aplicación metodológica que demuestra la capacidad de estos epistolarios para establecerse como una fuente esencial en la historia del clima.
The Spanish Coastal Systems
This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.

Astrology and Numerology in Medieval and Early Modern Catalonia
The Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels hòmens, a late fifteenth-century Catalan incunable, draws on a rich tradition of astrological magic, geomancy, Pythagorean numerology, and Hebrew gematria. This practical manual offers a method of determining the birth sign based on calculations performed on the subject’s name and his or her mother’s name.

The Tractat reveals Catalan sources for prognostication, a unique expression of medieval syncretism, the mingling of traditions, and the development of new ideas. It is a rare find for Hispanists and others interested in astrology, magic, the history of science, and early print culture.
Groundwater and Climate Change
This book undertakes a scholarly assessment of the state of the art of law and policy perspectives on groundwater and climate change at the international, regional and national levels. A particular focus is given to India, which is the largest user of groundwater in the world, and where groundwater is the primary source of water for domestic and agricultural uses. The extremely rapid rise in groundwater use in many Indian states has led to a growing groundwater crisis that they must address. The existing regulatory framework has not adapted to the challenges and fails to address any environmental concerns. On climate change, India has adopted a policy framework that makes the link with water...
