L'origen dels castells
L'origen dels castells és un tema apassionant que es planteja gairebé tothom que fa castells o que n'ha vist alguna vegada. El debat fa més de cent anys que dura, i ha donat lloc a diverses teories, algunes força imaginatives, altres esbiaixades per les passions localistes, altres més ben fonamentades. Aquest llibre és el primer que afronta aquest tema de forma monogràfica i espera resoldre'l de manera convincent, amb rigor, amb el màxim de dades i amb noves aportacions. Aquest llibre es basa en dues anàlisis: d'una banda, ressegueix la història del ball de valencians, des del segle XVII fins a l'origen dels castells, 60 notícies en total, de les quals fa una lectura crítica, que de vegades no coincideix amb les interpretacions donades fins ara. De l'altra, l'anàlisi tècnica es fa a partir de la descripció i comparació dels castells, els balls de valencians, les muixerangues del País Valencià, les moixigangues religioses catalanes i fins i tot amb els acròbates del Magreb.
Manual of Catalan Linguistics
This manual is intended to fill a gap in the area of Romance studies. There is no introduction available so far that broadly covers the field of Catalan linguistics, neither in Catalan nor in any other language. The work deals with the language spoken in Catalonia and Andorra, the Balearic Islands, the region of Valencia, Northern Catalonia and the town of l'Alguer in Sardinia. Besides introducing the ideologies of language and nation and the history of Catalan linguistics, the manual is divided into separate parts embracing the description – grammar, lexicon, variation and varieties – and the history of the language since the early medieval period to the present day. It also covers its current social and political situation in the new local and global contexts. The main emphasis is placed on modern Catalan. The manual is designed as a companion for students of Catalan, while also introducing specialists of other languages into this field, in particular scholars of Romance languages.

From Al-Andalus to the Americas (13th-17th Centuries)
From Al-Andalus to the Americas (13th-17th Centuries). Destruction and Construcion of Societies offers a multi-perspective view of the filiation of different colonial and settler colonial experiences, from the Medieval Iberian Peninsula to the early Modern Americas. All the articles in the volume refer the reader to colonial orders that extended over time, that substantially reduced indigenous populations, that imposed new productive strategies and created new social hierarchies. The ideological background and how conquests were organised; the treatment given to the conquered lands and people; the political organisations, and the old and new agricultural systems are issues discussed in this volume. Contributors are David Abulafia, Manuel Ardit, Antonio Espino, Adela Fábregas, Josep M. Fradera, Enric Guinot, Helena Kirchner, Antonio Malpica, Virgilio Martínez-Enamorado, Carmen Mena, António Mendes, Félix Retamero, Inge Schjellerup, Josep Torró, and Antoni Virgili.

The Central Convent of Hospitallers and Templars
From their humble beginnings in Jerusalem as a late eleventh-century hospital and an early twelfth-century pilgrim escort, Hospitallers and Templars evolved into international military religious orders, engaged in numerous charitable, economic, and military pursuits. At the heart of each of these communities, and in many ways a mirror of their growth and adaptability, was a central convent led by several high officials and headquartered first in Jerusalem (to 1187), then in Acre (1191-1291), and then on Cyprus (since 1291), from where the Hospitallers conquered Rhodes (1306-1310), and where fate in the form of a heresy trial caught up with the Templars. The history, organization, and personnel of these two central convents to 1310 are the subject of this comparative study.
Castelli, Castelli Umani, Castells!
…la folla seguiva entusiasta, lo sguardo di ognuno fissava la stessa azione, la musica accompagnava lo spettacolo, la tensione di chi partecipava e di chi anche solo guardava era al massimo e quando partiva un forte applauso, pronto si interrompeva per seguire con trepidazione la parte finale. … Gabriele Di Stasio nasce nel 1975 in Basilicata.

The Great American Biotic Interchange
South American ecosystems suffered one of the greatest biogeographical events, after the establishment of the Panamian land bridge, called the “Great American Biotic Interchange” (GABI). This refers to the exchange, in several phases, of land mammals between the Americas; this event started during the late Miocene with the appearance of the Holartic Procyonidae (Huayquerian Age) in South America and continues today. The major phases of mammalian dispersal occurred from the Latest Pliocene (Marplatan Age) to the Late Pleistocene (Lujanian Age). The most important and richest localities of Late Miocene-Holocene fossil vertebrates of South America are those of the Pampean region of Argentin...
