Los ataúdes egipcios de Pairusejer y de Ruru del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid
La presente investigación aborda el estudio de dos ataúdes de Bab el-Gasus del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid, el interno de Pairusejer (MAN 18253) y el externo de Ruru (MAN 18254), desde una perspectiva material y de conservación. Estos ataúdes, datados en la dinastía XXI, forman parte del gran descubrimiento en 1891 de la Segunda Cachette de Deir el Bahari (el hallazgo de 153 cajas funerarias escondidas en la orilla occidental tebana) y fueron donados por el gobierno egipcio a España en 1893. El objetivo principal de este libro es entender el estado de conservación actual de las piezas, remontándonos a su historia más reciente, que abarca desde el momento en que fueron encontradas hasta la actualidad, y que incluye sus traslados en Egipto y su llegada a Madrid en 1895. Los últimos 122 años en el museo madrileño son especialmente relevantes, al realizarse las sucesivas restauraciones, siempre vinculadas a las exposiciones del MAN, que han modelado estos ataúdes.

The Living Wage
The "living wage" is an old idea that has experienced a dramatic resurgence of political popularity in recent years. The underlying logic of the concept is quite clear: it is a wage that provides workers with enough income to live on at some level considered adequate. However, in practice the term has become blurred with that of the "minimum wage" and in its implementation it has lacked a consistent meaning despite being widely used as a campaigning slogan. This short primer traces the origins of the concept of the living wage and seeks to explain the current rise in its fortunes as an economic instrument with a social objective. It examines its impact on labor markets and wage levels, explores how it has been applied, and assesses whether it is an effective measure for raising living standards. Drawing on case studies from France, the Netherlands, the USA, and the UK, The Living Wage offers a broad-ranging analysis of the debates, policy developments and limitations of wage floors in developed economies and will appeal to a wide readership in economics, public policy and sociology, as well as those working in non-profit and non-governmental organizations.

Jews and Muslims Made Visible in Christian Iberia and Beyond, 14th to 18th Centuries
This volume aims to show through various case studies how the interrelations between Jews, Muslims and Christians in Iberia were negotiated in the field of images, objects and architecture during the Later Middle Ages and Early Modernity. . By looking at the ways pre-modern Iberians envisioned diversity, we can reconstruct several stories, frequently interwoven with devotional literature, poetry or Inquisitorial trials, and usually quite different from a binary story of simple opposition. The book’s point of departure narrates the relationship between images and conversions, analysing the mechanisms of hybridity, and proposing a new explanation for the representation of otherness as the complex outcome of a negotiation involving integration. Contributors are: Cristelle Baskins, Giuseppe Capriotti, Ivana Čapeta Rakić, Borja Franco Llopis, Francisco de Asís García García, Yonatan Glazer-Eytan, Nicola Jennings, Fernando Marías, Elena Paulino Montero, Maria Portmann, Juan Carlos Ruiz Souza, Amadeo Serra Desfilis, Maria Vittoria Spissu, Laura Stagno, Antonio Urquízar-Herrera.
