La mondialisation, étant un changement radical de repères culturels, bouleverse tous les cadres collectifs dans lesquels l'humanité s'est pensée depuis plus de deux siècles. Le pire danger, selon A. Bertho, réside en nous-mêmes dans la tentation d'une identité collective assiégée. L'auteur évoque une autre voie : celle de la construction de nouvelles identités collectives ouvertes et tolérantes.

The past decade has witnessed dramatic developments in the field of theoretical physics. This book is a comprehensive introduction to these recent developments. It contains a review of the Standard Model, covering non-perturbative topics, and a discussion of grand unified theories and magnetic monopoles. It introduces the basics of supersymmetry and its phenomenology, and includes dynamics, dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and electric-magnetic duality. The book then covers general relativity and the big bang theory, and the basic issues in inflationary cosmologies before discussing the spectra of known string theories and the features of their interactions. The book also includes brief introductions to technicolor, large extra dimensions, and the Randall-Sundrum theory of warped spaces. This will be of great interest to graduates and researchers in the fields of particle theory, string theory, astrophysics and cosmology. The book contains several problems, and password protected solutions will be available to lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521858410.

The Power of Cities focuses on Iberian cities during the lengthy transition from the late Roman to the early modern period, with a particular interest in the change from early Christianity to the Islamic period, and on to the restoration of Christianity. Drawing on case studies from cities such as Toledo, Cordoba, and Seville, it collects for the first time recent research in urban studies using both archaeological and historical sources. Against the common portrayal of these cities characterized by discontinuities due to decadence, decline and invasions, it is instead continuity – that is, a gradual transformation – which emerges as the defining characteristic. The volume argues for a fresh interpretation of Iberian cities across this period, seen as a continuum of structural changes across time, and proposes a new history of the Iberian Peninsula, written from the perspective of the cities. Contributors are Javier Arce, María Asenjo González, Antonio Irigoyen López, Alberto León Muñoz, Matthias Maser, Sabine Panzram, Gisela Ripoll, Torsten dos Santos Arnold, Isabel Toral-Niehoff, Fernando Valdés Fernández, and Klaus Weber.
El acercamiento al estudio de la identidad o de las identidades de los Pueblos Indígenas se ha constituido, en los últimos años, en tarea de sus organizaciones, de sectores académicos y también de miembros de la Pastoral Indígena. En esta tarea el Centro de Estudios Étnicos ha hecho una opción por aportar a este propósito desde el ámbito de lo sagrado como uno de los ejes de construcción de sentido. Por este motivo, desde el año 1996 estamos empeñados en facilitar un espacio de formación de líderes y animadores de pastoral y procesos comunitarios entre estos pueblos originarios, para que ellos mismos se constituyan en sujetos de reflexión e investigación sobre su ser y quehacer colectivo.
