The Gas Industry in Latin Europe
This book explores the development of the gas industry within Latin Europe (France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain). Through charting the growth of this industry during the 19th and 20th centuries, the technology and public policies used are examined to highlight the long term impact of the industry. Utilising a comparative analysis, similarities and variation between the development of gas within the Latin European countries is compared and contrasted with the aid of specific case studies. This book aims to place the development of gas resources in Latin Europe within a global perspective that takes into account the development of energy resources in the rest of Europe and the world more generally. It will be of interest to students and researchers working within energy economics and economic history. The book forms part of the results of the research project ‘Gas in Latin Europe: a comparative and global perspective (1818-1945)’, financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of the Spanish Government and ERDP Funds.
The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spain
The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spain brings together an international team of expert contributors in this critical and innovative volume that redefines nineteenth-century Spain in a multi-national, multi-lingual, and transnational way. This interdisciplinary volume examines questions moving beyond the traditional concept of Spain as a singular, homogenous entity to a new understanding of Spain as an unstable set of multipolar and multilinguistic relations that can be inscribed in different translational ways. This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in Hispanic Studies.
Krisenumschreibungen
Welche Potenziale bieten Krisen? Welche gesellschaftliche Funktion übernimmt Kunst in Krisenzeiten? Wann führt die Auseinandersetzung mit Krisen zur Resilienz, wann zur Revolte? Inwieweit bieten Krisen und Krisennarrationen einen Interventions-, Innovations- und Inspirationsraum? Auf diese Fragen schlägt dieser Band Antworten vor, ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass zahlreiche ästhetisch durchgebildete Text- und Bildmedien der Gegenwart auf wirtschaftliche, politische und soziale Krisensituationen reagieren. Die hier versammelten Beiträge zeigen allerdings nicht nur in synchroner, sondern auch in diachroner Perspektive Momente individueller und sozialer Ausweglosigkeit, die als ein Entgleisen der kollektiven und ein Entgleiten der eigenen Geschichte wahrgenommen werden, nicht aber notwendigerweise in Resignation münden. Im Gegenteil: Der Band zielt darauf ab, unterschiedliche mediale Ausdrucksformen historischer und gegenwärtiger Krisenreaktionen innerhalb der Romania zu bestimmen und zueinander in Beziehung zu setzen, um das gegenwartsdiagnostische Potenzial dieser Krisennarrationen und die daraus erwachsende Lust zur Intervention zu artikulieren.

The Leatherback Turtle
The most comprehensive book ever written on leatherback sea turtles. Weighing as much as 2,000 pounds and reaching lengths of over seven feet, leatherback turtles are the world’s largest reptile. These unusual sea turtles have a thick, pliable shell that helps them to withstand great depths—they can swim more than one thousand meters below the surface in search of food. And what food source sustains these goliaths? Their diet consists almost exclusively of jellyfish, a meal they crisscross the oceans to find. Leatherbacks have been declining in recent decades, and some predict they will be gone by the end of this century. Why? Because of two primary factors: human redevelopment of nestin...
The Vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula
This book provides a compact, up-to-date and detailed overview of the vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula, a highly diverse part of Europe in the Mediterranean area. Written by a group of experienced researchers, the volume includes a first section with general chapters discussing the climate, the biogeography and the flora, and a second section with detailed descriptions of the 14 regional sectors into which the peninsula and Balearic Islands have been divided. A third section explores special features, such as aquatic vegetation, gypsum and dolomite vegetation, coastal vegetation, mountain flora and vegetation, conservation issues and alien flora.
The Science of Grapevines
The Science of Grapevines: Anatomy and Physiology is an introduction to the physical structure of the grapevine, its various organs, their functions and their interactions with the environment. Beginning with a brief overview of the botanical classification (including an introduction to the concepts of species, cultivars, clones, and rootstocks), plant morphology and anatomy, and growth cycles of grapevines, The Science of Grapevines covers the basic concepts in growth and development, water relations, photosynthesis and respiration, mineral uptake and utilization, and carbon partitioning. These concepts are put to use to understand plant-environment interactions including canopy dynamics, y...
Passing to América
In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court...
