Bravos. Diseño español de vanguardia
Aunque la creatividad española en general y el diseño en particular viven un momento de eclosión y reconocimiento a nivel internacional, se trata de una disciplina apenas divulgada. Este libro nos ofrece por primera vez conjuntamente los principales talentos del joven diseño industrial español. Un total de veintiún diseñadores muestran sus principales creaciones, todas de este siglo.
Más grueso que el papel
The Palacio de Congresos de Catalunya-the Catalan Conference Center-is one of Carlos Ferrater's most recent works, created in collaboration with Jose M. Cartana. This monograph on the buidling is an exhaustive analysis of the construction process, from the planning phase to its actual completion. As such, it will be a valuable book for those involved in the design of public buildings, as Ferrater is at the forefront of contemporary architecture. The building itself is divided into three sections, separated from each other by two interior streets that provide natural light for the rooms. The main entrance has a large vestibule and a hall with an amphitheater for 2,500 conference-goers. The central section can be subdivided into a multitude of smaller rooms and is reserved for more varied uses. The third and smallest section houses the cafeteria, offices, and other ancillary spaces.

Recycling Madrid
"This book presents unusual projects, techniques and places that seek to materialize a vision of the contemporary city with which to recycle established beliefs about architecture and the role of the architect. Madrid appears as a metaphor of the world. It is a privileged space in which to test new ways of understanding the limits between public and private, natural and artificial, identity and hybridization."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Slavery and Antislavery in Spain's Atlantic Empire
African slavery was pervasive in Spain’s Atlantic empire yet remained in the margins of the imperial economy until the end of the eighteenth century when the plantation revolution in the Caribbean colonies put the slave traffic and the plantation at the center of colonial exploitation and conflict. The international group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain’s role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer status as a slave-trading, plantation-based empire. These contributors map the broad contours and transformations of slave-trafficking, the plantation, and antislavery in the Hispanic Atlantic while also delving into specific topics that include: the institutional and economic foundations of colonial slavery; the law and religion; the influences of the Haitian Revolution and British abolitionism; antislavery and proslavery movements in Spain; race and citizenship; and the business of the illegal slave trade.
