A lo largo de esta obra los autores mantienen una línea conductora única: la reflexión sobre la inserción de Cantabria en el nuevo paradigma de civilización.

Expone, en forma progresiva, los aspectos fundamentales para afrontar una adecuada gestión del riesgo operacional, recogiendo la experiencia de profesionales del sector financiero, pioneros y expertos en este área a la que se une la visión de académicos y otros agentes vinculados a la misma que desarrollan sus actividades en el ámbito de la consultoría, auditoría o supervisión-regulación. Su oportunidad, por la reciente entrada en vigor de Basilea II, y la novedad de abordar un tema sobre el que no había bibliografía en castellano, le dotan de la máxima relevancia e interés.
Though known as a site since 1903, El Mirón Cave in the Cantabrian Mountains of northern Spain remained unexcavated until a team from the universities of New Mexico and Cantabria began ongoing excavations in 1996. This large, deeply stratified cave allowed the team to apply cutting-edge techniques of excavation, recording, and multidisciplinary analysis in the meticulous study of a site that has become a new reference sequence for the classic Cantabrian region. The excavations uncovered the long history of human occupation of the cave, extending from the end of the Middle Paleolithic, through the Upper Paleolithic, up to the modern era. This volume comprehensively describes the background information on the setting, the site, the chronology, and the sedimentology. It then focuses on the biological and archaeological records of the Holocene levels pertaining to Mesolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, and Bronze Age. Archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians will be drawn to this study and its extensive findings, dated by some seventy-five radiocarbon assays.
The book aims to provide the ability to approach restoration of historic architecture in a methodical way starting from basic concepts in terminology. In the different chapters will be addressed the theoretical aspects of restoration: stylistic restoration, Anti-Restoration, Historic Restoration, Scientific/Philological Restoration (in the first volume), the Critical Restoration, the Critical-Conservative Restoration, the Pure Conservation, maintenance/repair and currents trends (in the second volume). The history of conservation will be studied in different historical periods, countries, in different conceptions and through its main protagonists. The Charters of Restoration will be described and studied. The next volume will present the current trends in restoration. With contributions by Susana Mora Alonso-Muñoyerro and Ignacio Mora Moreno

The pace and scale of the exchange of cultural goods of all sorts&—paintings, furniture, even ladies' fans&—increased sharply in nineteenth-century Spain, and new institutions and practices for exhibiting as well as valorizing &"art&" were soon formed. Oscar V&ázquez maps this cultural landscape, tracing the connections between the growth of art markets and changing patterns of collecting. Unlike many earlier students of collecting, he focuses not upon questions of taste but rather upon the discursive and institutional frameworks that came to regulate art's economic and symbolic worth at all levels of Spanish society. Drawing upon sources that range from newspaper reviews to notarial documents, V&ázquez shows how collecting acquired the power to mediate debates over individual, regional, and national identity. His book also looks at the emergence of a new state apparatus for arts administration and situates these social and political changes in the broader European context. Inventing the Art Collection will be of interest to historians and sociologists of Spain and Europe, as well as art historians and cultural theorists.
La inquietud empresarial generada por la reforma del Impuesto de sociedades puesta en marcha en el País Vasco en 1996, manifiestamente favorable a las empresas, motiva el estudio cualitativo y cuantitativo de la importancia relativa de esta iniciativa fiscal. La autora del trabajo ha tenido el mérito de ser oportuna y sensible a los “hechos de los tiempos”, abordando un problema de interés evidente para Cantabria, pero también para las demás regiones limítrofes con el País Vasco y, en general, para todos los estudiosos de la relación entre fiscalidad empresarial, inversión y localización de empresas.
