Medieval Urban Identity
The increasing prominence of urban life during the Middle Ages is undoubtedly one of the more transcendental and multi-faceted aspects of this era, having an effect on rules and laws, hygiene, and economic organisation. This book brings together contributions from a wide range of scholars who adopt a new approach to medieval urban life, using health, the economy, and regulations and laws as frames of reference for gaining a greater understanding of this historical period. Through these vectors, interesting insights are provided into medieval housing, cures for diseases, the work of artisans and merchants, and the relationship between the town and the wider region in which it was located.
El plaer de la xocolata
Segons Ferran Adrià, El Plaer de la xocolata. La història i la cultura de la xocolata a Catalunya és un llibre que crea addicció, igual que la xocolata. En aquesta obra es relata l'apassionant viatge per terres catalanes d'aquest aliment i els odis i passions que ha generat. Com va arribar a Catalunya? Qui l'ha fabricat? Com i qui se l'ha menjat? El llibre aporta recerca inèdita sobre aquest aliment i recull l'impacte que ha tingut en la cultura catalana: des dels versos de Miquel Martí i Pol fins a les obres de Picasso, passant per les col·leccions de cromos, la publicitat o els records de Josep Maria de Sagarra i el baró de Maldà. D'aquesta manera, a partir de la xocolata s'elabora una història global (de la cultura, la gastronomia, la natura, la ciència, la societat...), una història dedicada tant als amants de la xocolata com als degustadors de les grans històries de la nostra civilització.

Biomaterials for MEMS
This book serves as a guide for practicing engineers, researchers and students interested in MEMS devices and biomaterials and biomedical applications. It is also suitable for engineers and researchers interested in MEMS and its applications but who do not have the necessary background in biomaterials. The book highlights important features and issues of biomaterials that have been used in MEMS and biomedical areas, including the fabrication of devices using biomaterials, biocompatible coatings and issues, thin-film biomaterials and MEMS for tissue engineering, and applications involving MEMS and biomaterials.
The Canon and the Archive
Ríos-Font re-reads nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish texts and authors that have tested the boundary between high and low, repositioning them within Spanish critical tradition. Through these self-reflexive readings, the book explores how the definition of literature has changed in more than two centuries of modernity in Spain, and the institutional and cultural negotiations behind this change."--Jacket.

Chicano Satire
Geographically close to Mexico, but surrounded by Anglo-American culture in the United States, Chicanos experience many cultural tensions and contradictions. Their lifeways are no longer identical with Mexican norms, nor are they fully assimilated to Anglo-American patterns. Coping with these tensions—knowing how much to let go of, how much to keep—is a common concern of Chicano writers, who frequently use satire as a means of testing norms and deviations from acceptable community standards. In this groundbreaking study, Guillermo Hernández focuses on the uses of satire in the works of three authors—Luis Valdez, Rolando Hinojosa, and José Montoya—and on the larger context of Chican...
Research Challenges in Information Science
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Sciences, RCIS 2022, which took place in Barcelona, Spain, during May 17–20, 2022. It focused on the special theme "Ethics and Trustworthiness in Information Science". The scope of RCIS is summarized by the thematic areas of information systems and their engineering; user-oriented approaches; data and information management; business process management; domain-specific information systems engineering; data science; information infrastructures, and reflective research and practice. The 35 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total 100 s...
