Nationalism
A global perspective on the nature and evolution of nationalism, from the early modern era to the present The current rise of nationalism across the globe is a reminder that we are not, after all, living in a borderless world of virtual connectivity. In Nationalism, historian Eric Storm sheds light on contemporary nationalist movements by exploring the global evolution of nationalism, beginning with the rise of the nation-state in the eighteenth century through the revival of nationalist ideas in the present day. Storm traces the emergence of the unitary nation-state—which brought citizenship rights to some while excluding a multitude of “others”—and the pervasive spread of nationali...
Residential Capitalism
Over the last decade, Spain has become an emblem of the contradictory relationship between capitalism and housing. During the house-price boom of the 2000s, Spain built homes on an unprecedented scale, with output levels that overshadowed those of every major European economy. Nevertheless, when the fortunes of real estate markets turned, a wave of repossessions ensued, and a massive number of households were thrown out into the street as a sizeable portion of the housing stock was lying vacant. In turn, the implosion of Spanish residential capitalism triggered an intense wave of unrest that has come to shape a decade of political turmoil. This book uses the Spanish case to bring to light, a...

Somaclonal Variation and Induced Mutations in Crop Improvement
Genetic variability is an important parameter for plant breeders in any con ventional crop improvement programme. Very often the desired variation is un available in the right combination, or simply does not exist at all. However, plant breeders have successfully recombined the desired genes from cultivated crop gerrnplasm and related wild species by sexual hybridization, and have been able to develop new cultivars with desirable agronomie traits, such as high yield, disease, pest, and drought resistance. So far, conventional breeding methods have managed to feed the world's ever-growing population. Continued population growth, no further scope of expanding arable land, soil degradation, env...

Case Studies in the Origins of Capitalism
This edited volume builds and expands on the groundbreaking work of Robert Brenner and Ellen Meiksins Wood on the origins of capitalism. Whereas Brenner and Wood focused mostly on the emergence of capitalism in the English countryside (agrarian capitalism), this book utilizes their approach to offer original, theoretically sophisticated, and empirically informed accounts of transitions to capitalism – both agrarian and industrial – in a wide range of countries in order to provide within a single volume a diverse collection of relatively brief yet detailed case studies of the historical transition to capitalism distributed across three continents. Offering a new and highly original analysis of the global spread of capitalism, this book will be a unique contribution to the longstanding debate on the transition to capitalism.
La usucapión de elementos comunes en la propiedad horizontal
Es frecuente que los propietarios de pisos o locales intenten agrandarlos a costa de invadir superficies comunitarias (patios, huecos de escaleras, pasillos…). Ante esto cabe preguntarse: ¿Adquirirían con el paso del tiempo esos elementos comunes si la Comunidad no reaccionara en su momento? En esta obra demostraremos cómo esto llegaría a suceder por mor de la usucapión y también responderemos a otros interrogantes. ¿Cómo paralizar estos intentos? ¿Estaría legitimado individualmente un propietario para impedirlo, aun cuando el resto de la Comunidad no quisiera litigar contra quien se está adueñando de zonas comunes? ¿Qué ocurre si usted adquiere un piso pero la obra invasiva de áreas comunes la ejecutó el vendedor? ¿Podría la Comunidad litigar en tal caso contra usted? ¿Qué sucede si otros vecinos invadieron en el pasado los mismos elementos comunes pero la Comunidad permaneció imperturbable? En tal caso…¿Cabría que ésta litigara ahora contra usted? ¿Qué es el consentimiento tácito? ¿Qué valor se le ha de conferir en este particular contexto?
