The Conversos and Moriscos in Late Medieval Spain and Beyond
Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish and European culture. Volume two of the series focuses on the Moriscos, offering new perspectives on this elusive group's social and religious character in the period leading up to its expulsion from Spain in 1609.

Escribanos y escribanías en el Señorío de Vizcaya durante la Edad Moderna
En esta obra, la autora nos acerca al mundo de los escribanos y de las escribanías que existieron en el Señorío de Vizcaya durante los siglos xvi-xviii. Se trata de los hombres y cargos que se encargaron de la escritura en aquellas centurias y, de esta manera, nos aproximamos a un mundo de poder, pleitos y alianzas internas por conservar aquellas posiciones en la administración de la Edad Moderna. Los escribanos eran los encargados de redactar documentación diversa, como podían ser las actas de las reuniones de las instituciones, pero también los contratos matrimoniales, dotes o testamentos de personas particulares. Estamos ante una sociedad donde la tasa de analfabetismo era muy elevada, por lo que la figura del escribano jugaba un papel fundamental, ya que no solo escribía, sino que también solía explicar lo redactado. Así, teniendo en cuenta la legislación de la época, se presentan las identidades e identificación de los escribanos y de sus escribanías, su contexto familiar, formación jurídica y lingüística, y muchos de los pleitos en los que estuvieron inmersos.
Antonio de Berrío
"A collection of nearly 40 documents related to Berrío's governorship of Trinidad and his quest for El Dorado in central Venezuela (Guiana) in the 1580s and 1590s. Already in his 50s when he and his family migrated to the New World to assume the territorial and political legacy left him by his wife's uncle, the great New Granadan conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, Berrio's late adult life illustrated the power of the El Dorado myth among Spaniards and Britons alike; Berrío and Walter Raleigh crossed swords in 1595 when the latter first sought the fabled area. Berrío's late career also demonstrates the continuation of the conquest era through late-16th century. Handsomely printed and nicely illustrated with reproductions of De Bry engravings"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Rangeland Ecology, Management and Conservation Benefits
Rangelands are a type of land that include vast grasslands, shrublands, woodland, wetlands and deserts, grazed by domestic livestock or wild animals. They comprise almost one-half of all the lands in the world. This book analyzes the sustainability of beef cattle systems of the Spanish Rangelands known as Dehesas. These systems are considered as outstanding High Nature Value (HNV) farming systems and the most agroforestry systems in Europe. Additionally, on a global scale, China has around one-eighth of the rangelands (the second largest area of land in any country other than Australia). These rangelands are mostly inhabited by peoples of various ethnic minorities. This book provides an over...
