'Los Invisibles'
Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
Non-Obvious
What do Disney, Bollywood, and "The Batkid" teach us about how to create celebrity experiences for our audience? How can a vending machine inspire world peace?

The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain
Beinart's detailed magnum opus focuses on the practicalities of the expulsion and its consequences, both for those expelled and those remaining behind. Analysis of hundreds of archival documents enables him to take history out of the realm of abstraction and give it concrete reality, and in so doing he also sheds much light on Jewish life in Spain before the expulsion.
Sewer of Progress
A creative and comprehensive exploration of the institutional forces undermining the management of environments critical to public health. For almost two decades, the citizens of Western Mexico have called for a cleanup of the Santiago River, a water source so polluted it emanates an overwhelming acidic stench. Toxic clouds of foam lift off the river in a strong wind. In Sewer of Progress, Cindy McCulligh examines why industrial dumping continues in the Santiago despite the corporate embrace of social responsibility and regulatory frameworks intended to mitigate environmental damage. The fault, she finds, lies in a disingenuous discourse of progress and development that privileges capitalist...
Gregorio Marañón y la emoción
En 1922 Gregorio Marañón y Posadillo publica en un libro, Homenaje a Santiago Ramón y Cajal, el artículo sobre la Acción Emotiva de la Adrenalina que, traducido al francés y ampliado en cuanto al número de participantes, se publica dos años más tarde en la Revista Francesa de Endocrinología, convirtiéndose en la obra de Marañón más citada internacionalmente y la que ha marcado el rumbo de la investigación científica sobre la emoción a lo largo de todo el siglo XX y lo que va del siglo XXI. Hay tres momentos clave en esta historia. En primer lugar, el descubrimiento en 1927 a la comunidad científica del artículo de Marañón por parte de uno de los fisiólogos más importan...
