The eagerness to remain in fashion inevitably evokes the stubborn and insoluble question: In the art of enticing the customer, which is paramount, the product or its setting? The ideal, of course, is that each in succession, the setting first, the product afterward, should add to the attraction and not interfere with each other. The shops presented in this work offer a panorama of settings whose brightly-colored fantasy reflects the manners and morals of our time.
Catalonia, located in Spain's far north-east corner and centred around the port of Barcelona, has its own cuisine and culture which has spread to encompass Valencia, the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza), Andorra, the ancient region of France formerly known as Roussilon, and a single city on the Italian island of Sardinia. Colman Andrews explores this whole territory of Catalan cooking, from its French, Roman and Moorish roots to today's modern interpretation. Along the way he creates a portrait of the food, wine, history and culture of the region.
Recull les ponències i comunicacions presentades i discutides dins les Jornades d’història de l’art a Catalunya, que es celebraren a Valls al juny del 2006, i que fou un marc de trobada obert entre investigadors universitaris i els estudiosos del nostre patrimoni barroc que treballen en l’àmbit dels museus, en els centres d’estudis comarcals i locals, i en el camp de la restauració-conservació. La proposta en el seu dia avançada pel Museu de Valls va ser recollida, atesa l’excel lència de la tradició artística barroca de la ciutat, amb la figura insigne de Lluís Bonifàs i Massó (1730-1786), de qui celebràvem els 275 anys del naixement, i la del seu germà Francesc Bonifàs (1735-1806), de qui es complien 200 anys de la mort. D’altra banda, l’origen vallenc de l’arquitecte i historiador Cèsar Martinell i Brunet (1888-1973), il lustre precursor en la reivindicació i en l’estudi de l’escultura i l’arquitectura barroques feien encara més adient la seu de Valls per a aquestes Jornades.
According to the Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee (ADCC), between 14.7 and 23.5 million people in the USA – up to eight percent of the population are affected by autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are a family of more than 100 chronic, and often disabling, illnesses that develop when underlying defects in the immune system lead the body to attack its own organs, tissues, and cells. In Handbook of Autoimmune Disease, the editors have gathered in a comprehensive handbook a critical review, by renowned experts, of more than 100 autoimmune diseases, divided into two main groups, namely systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases. A contemporary overview of these conditions with special emphasis on diagnosis is presented. Each chapter contains the essential information required by attending physicians as well as bench scientists to understand the definition of a specific autoimmune disease, the diagnostic criteria, and the treatment.
