The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Rural Policy
This volume represents the result of almost two decades of trans-Atlantic collaborative development of a policy research paradigm, the International Comparative Rural Policy Studies program. Over this period dozens of scientists from different disciplines but with a common interest in rural issues and policy have collaboratively studied the policies in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. A core element of the book is the idea and practice of comparative research and analysis - what can be learned from comparisons, how and why policies vary in different contexts, and what lessons might or might not be "transferable" across borders. It provides skills for the use of comparativ...
Educación, salud y calidad de vida
Este libro tiene como objetivo primordial proponer elementos de reflexión, teóricos y prácticos, sobre aspectos de educación, salud y calidad de vida, de los procesos de socialización, identidad, género y de la construcción de la interculturalidad. A lo largo de los diferentes capítulos se constata que existe una clara relación entre la ética, la felicidad y las «acciones», específicamente en relación con la salud mental y física y, por ende, en relación con las acciones educativas y socializadoras. Se trata de promover y asegurar una convivencia armoniosa del género humano con su entorno natural, el mundo espiritual y las futuras generaciones. Esto es trabajar para conseguir una parte de felicidad, calidad de vida, la vida buena y el buen vivir.

Els Estudis Universitaris Catalans (1903-1985) : per una universitat catalana
Durant la major part de la seva història, els Estudis Universitaris Catalans serviren per a donar als estudiants de la Universitat de Barcelona, fora del seu recinte, aquells ensenyaments relacionats amb la cultura catalana que restaven exclosos d'aquell centre oficial. Els Estudis Universitaris Catalans mantingueren una estreta relació amb l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans, encara que tingueren una funció docent, que no era l'específica de l'IEC. Aquest llibre, és, en certa manera, complementari de la "Història de l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans" publicada en dos volums per Albert Balcells, Enric Pujol i Santiago Izquierdo.
Cartes de Ferran Soldevila (1912-1970)
Aquest aplec de cartes recull les que Ferran Soldevila va enviar a diferents corresponsals, entre els quals trobem la flor i nata de la intel·lectualitat del seu temps. En els seus fons personals conservà poques còpies de les lletres que havia tramès i per això va ser necessari fer una recerca d’anys per obtenir les que aquí reproduïm. Va caldre anar a mirar, un per un, els arxius de familiars, amics i col·legues per si hi trobàvem cartes seves. El període que abasten és molt llarg. En tenim de totes les etapes de la seva vida: des de les escrites ja en la seva primera joventut fins a les redactades en els darrers anys d’existència. Per això les hem publicat per ordre cronol...
Against Amazon
A NEW YORK TIMES NEW & NOTEWORTHY BOOK Good bookshops are questions without answers. They are places that provoke you intellectually, encode riddles, surprise and offer challenges ... A pleasing labyrinth where you can’t get lost: that comes later, at home, when you immerse yourself in the books you have bought; lose yourself in new questions, knowing you will find answers. Picking up where the widely praised Bookshops: A Reader’s History left off, Against Amazon and Other Essays explores the increasing pressures of Amazon and other new technologies on bookshops and libraries. In essays on these vital social, cultural, and intellectual spaces, Jorge Carrión travels from London to Geneva...
E2A Architecture
This revised and updated edition is a comprehensive monograph on the Swiss architects E2A. Brothers Piet and Wim Eckert see their work as an interpretation of contemporary living conditions. In today's context, expectations, experiences, and ambitions characterize places and clash with reality. The incompatible becomes the platform of the discipline of architecture, and in the work by the two architects it becomes a prolonged journey of discovery during which associations and relationships are explored and exposed. Here, one experiences a fine line between dream and reality that could be described as systematic incoherence. Thus, rather than designing the perfect machine for an idealized image of society, E2A integrate different and diametrically opposed conditions that were once mutually exclusive. Projects, ideas, essays, and notes supplement building projects and record positions, assessments, and ongoing questions. In this way the reader becomes a witness to an intense debate on the city and its architecture.

The Violinist
"Klara Galambos was a twenty-year-old violin student in Budapest in March 1944. Arrested and thrown into jail in the first days after the German occupation, she later managed to get home to Szombathely, was in the ghetto there and transported with the Jews of Szombathely to Auschwitz Birkenau. After five weeks she and her aunt were among the thousand Hungarian women selected for slave labour at Allendorf. They returned to Hungary after the war, and in 1948 they both left Hungary for New Zealand, where Clare joined the fledgling national orchestra. As a long-serving member of the NZSO, she made a significant contribution to the musical life of this country, and is now retired in Wellington. The Violinist draws on memoir, interviews and historical research to tell a compelling story."--Publisher's description.
