The Journey of Utopia
In 1927, a group of advisors of King Alfonso XIII of Spain set off a journey to the United States. Their aim was to study the American University as a model for the design of the new University City in Madrid. Using the reconstruction of this cultural event as a guiding thread metaphor, the purpose of the Research Project is to study the roots and historical transformations that the University Space has experimented since its origins, under the impulse of Utopia, making special emphasis in its relation to the City. It will focus on the evolution of essential architectural models, beginning from its medieval germ in Europe: the exodus of the 'seed' of its embodied soul (the quadrangle) to the New World, the birth and diversification of the new model (campus) and, finally, in the early twentieth century, the 'return trip' to Europe of the modern idea, and the prolific heritage that it has generated in the contemporary University since then, from the point of view of the cultural connection between the Unites States and Europe.

Higher education is a complex package of issues which never seems to leave the limelight. The primary wedge issues are tuition cost, access, accountability, financial aid, government funding, sports and their place within higher education, academic results, societal gains as a whole in terms of international competition, and continuing education. This new book examines current issues with special attention to the Higher Education Act and its reauthorisation and the aspects of higher education related to it.

Isabel II y la mujer en el siglo XIX
La subida al trono de Isabel II supuso la iniciación de signos de avance, como la implantación del ferrocarril o la incipiente revolución industrial en algunos territorios. Siguiendo la estela de la Reina, la mujer relegada hasta entonces a la esfera privada, al cuidado del hogar y de los hijos, trasciende a la esfera pública iniciando una tímida incursión en el ámbito político, en el cultural y en el trabajo fabril. Este libro pretende analizar los claroscuros de la segunda mitad del XIX así, el acercamiento a los diversos aspectos históricos, económicos, sociales, políticos, biográficos y artísticos nos permitirá tener una nueva visión en torno a ciertos aspectos esenciales acerca de la figura de la Reina Isabel II y al papel de la mujer en este período. Esta obra es una ayuda para todos los profesores que imparten Historia o Historia del Arte en ESO, Bachillerato, Enseñanzas Artísticas o Módulos de Ciclos Formativos relacionados con estas materias.

Cambios en la estructura y localización de la población
El período intercensal 2001-2011 ha resultado ser el de mayor crecimiento poblacional en la historia española, tanto en términos absolutos, con un incremento cercano a los seis millones de habitantes, como relativos, con un crecimiento del 14,6%. Esta explosión demográfica no ha sido homogénea. El volumen de extranjeros se ha multiplicado por un factor superior a 3 con un crecimiento absoluto superior al de los españoles: mientras estos crecieron en 2,3 millones entre ambos censos, los extranjeros aumentaron en 3,7 millones. Si bien es cierto que las alteraciones municipales ocurridas entre los censos de 2001 y 2011 han sido escasas –ocho segregaciones–, los profundos cambios meto...
