Josep Maria Mata Perelló. 50 anys de Terra i docència
Polifacètic o ubic són alguns dels adjectius que es dediquen a Josep Maria Mata Perelló (en Mata) al llarg d’aquest llibre. Investigador, professor, divulgador o militant de la geologia, la mineria i el seu patrimoni són també algunes de les facetes que en podríem esmentar. El llibre que us presentem n’és una bona mostra. En ell, companys i companyes d’en Josep Maria l’acompanyen en un recorregut per la seva trajectòria, que inclou aspectes com la petjada que ha deixat a l’Escola Politècnica Superior d’Enginyeria de Manresa (EPSEM), la defensa del patrimoni geològic i miner, els recorreguts geològics o els seus viatges i actuacions a l’Amèrica Llatina. I fins la que és, possiblement, la seva faceta menys coneguda: la de poeta. Entre el reconeixement i l’homenatge, textos que parlen d’una figura que no tan sols forma part de la història de l’EPSEM, sinó també de la història de la geologia del nostre país i de més enllà de l’Atlàntic.
Knowledges in Publics
This book presents a series of cutting edge research studies in the field of public understanding of science, with particular focus on aspects of informal science education. In addition to providing up-to-date overviews of current thinking about how best to conceptualise the field, it offers a range of primary research studies examining informal public venues of science and mediations of scientific knowledge and representation. With contributions from some leading international researchers, the book provides discussions and case studies addressing the USA, UK and Europe, Africa and India, offering insight and assessment of key issues on a global footing. Challenging extant notions of science-public relations in terms of deficiency, engagement and knowledge transfer, the book taken as a whole argues for approaches that take seriously the multiplicity of publics and that recognise the centrality of social relations and social contexts to forms of knowledge and ways of knowing.

UNESCO Global Geoparks
Recently, UNESCO has gradually started to recognize world geoparks ? territorial spaces with a geological heritage of international importance. This classification presents real challenges. Development strategies must align with the recommendations advocated by various non-governmental organizations. It is also necessary to involve the local actors, both in the preparation of application forms and in the implementation of a management plan that is suitable for sustainable global development. Managing the tensions and asymmetries that exist between the different groups of actors (politicians, managers, scientists, representatives of local populations) constitutes another major issue. It is in this context and through various case studies that this book questions the aims of the UNESCO global geoparks ? in terms of heritage inventory and conservation, the participation of local populations, the local development of a territory and its enhancement through heritage interpretation.
