El Port és un massís muntanyós format per un dels darrers estreps del Sistema Ibèric, i que es caracteritza per oferir una orografia complexa, amb un engraellat de serres, barrancs, moles, llomes i canals que fan d'aquest espai un dels més feréstecs dels Països Catalans. Aquesta guia és una barreja d'itineraris, on no podrem parlar únicament d'excursions o escalades, ni de grimpar o rapelar, sinó que en la major part de les rutes haurem d'utilitzar diferents tècniques en funció de l'orografia del terreny. No cal dir que la major part dels recorreguts que es descriuen en la guia els haurem d'afrontar amb la corda a la motxilla, o si més no un cordino d'assegurament. La distribució dels itineraris s'ha fet seguint una escala de dificultat, ordenats de menor a major complicació. Cada itinerari consta d'un comentari identificatiu, de l'explicació del recorregut, accessos, aproximació i fitxa tècnica, acompanyats, a més, quan és necessari, d'un plànol, croquis, fotografies o detalls del recorregut. A la fitxa tècnica s'indiquen els horaris, desnivells, dificultat, material i altres observacions.
Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need t...

This edited collection explores the ways in which our understanding of the past in Dutch history and culture can be rethought to consider not only how it forms part of the present but how it can relate also to the future. Divided into three parts – The Uses of Myth and History, The Past as Illumination of Cultural Context, and Historiography in Focus – this book seeks to demonstrate the importance of the past by investigating the transmission of culture and its transformations. It reflects on the history of historiography and looks critically at the products of the historiographic process, such as Dutch and Afrikaans literary history. The chapters cover a range of disciplines and approac...
Focuses on the work of Enric Miralles, one of the leading lights to emerge from Spain.
'A deeply intelligent and searching book, one that makes you re-consider the narrative of your own life and reframe the story you tell yourself' Hilary Mantel "There was a question that had come to trouble me a bit earlier, once I had taken the first steps on this return journey to Reims... Why, when I have had such an intense experience of forms of shame related to class ... why had it never occurred to me to take up this problem in a book?" Returning to Reims is a breath-taking memoir of return, a family story of class, sexuality, gender and of the shifting political allegiances of the French working classes. A phenomenon in France and a huge bestseller in Germany, Didier Eribon has written the defining memoir of our times.
