Investigaciones de nuevo cuño en la Academia
La Universidad, como el dios Jano, presenta dos caras de un único rostro: una mira hacia la investigación e innovación (sean de naturaleza formal, de contenidos o ambos) y la otra hacia los discentes a quienes transmite los logros hallados en unas aulas cada vez más tecnologizadas. Queda claro, por tanto, que la investigación y la docencia son nucleares en la misión de la Academia y en su visión destaca la mejora de la sociedad de la que se nutre y a la que sirve. En esta ecuación binómica tenemos que añadir indefectiblemente el elemento de la divulgación de estos nuevos contenidos y estructuras, de manera que libros como el presente, junto con los demás que conforman la colecci...

The Legacy of Mega Events
This edited volume offers a critical reflection on the failed experiment to redevelop the city of Rio de Janeiro according to the neoliberal strategy of entrepreneurial urban governance and mercantile regulatory transformations, which were leveraged by mega-sporting events. The case of Rio de Janeiro is presented as an example of a failing global strategy for urban redevelopment, entrepreneurial urban governance and the realization of mega-events. This book aims to present the real and critical state of the legacies of such mega-events. It shows how instead of the promised economic redemption, Rio is experiencing a severe economic, political and social crisis, handling three observation pers...
Cypriot Nationalisms in Context
This book explores the different perspectives and historical moments of nationalism in Cyprus. It does this by looking at nationalism as a form of identity, as a form of ideology, and as a form of politics. The fifteen contributors to this book are scholars of different scientific backgrounds and present Cypriot nationalisms from an interdisciplinary framework, including approaches such as history, political science, psychology, and gender studies. The chapters take a historical approach to nationalism and argue that the world of nations, ethnic identity, and national ideology are neither eternal, nor ahistorical nor primordial, but are rather socially constructed and function within particular historical and social contexts. As a land that was, and still is, marked by opposed nationalisms – that is, Greek and Turkish – Cyprus constitutes a fertile ground for examining the history, the dynamics, and the dialectics of nationalism.
Imaging Pelvic Floor Disorders
This book represents a landmark in the development of an imaging subspecialty that crosses the clinical boundaries of urogynaecology and coloproctology. It is the first text to consider the imaging of all pelvic floor disorders, addressing in depth both urinary and faecal incontinence and the various forms of prolapse. The book begins with a magnetic resonance-based review of the anatomy of the pelvic floor and an overview of how it functions; detailed chapters on investigation and treatment then follow, from both a clinical and a radiological perspective.
The Desclergues of la Villa Ducal de Montblanc
This book, consisting of almost 70 chapters, spread over ten parts and a foreword section, covers the following topics. A prelude and introduces the reader to the world of Heraldry, the Town and the Duchy of Montblanc in Spain and Onomastics. Finally, it provides a brief history to understand the book’s chronological context better. A part on genetics is provided to outline the DNA analysis, made by different commercial companies, of the genes of the author and his brother-in-law. The investigations compare genetics with the genealogy provided in this work and are consistent. They show, for instance, that the author is a male descendent of the Desclergues of Montblanc and is equally blood-...
The Years of Jesuit Suppression, 1773-1814

Progressive Politics after the Crash
Those who hoped the collapse of financial markets would usher in the end of neoliberalism and rehabilitate support for traditional social democratic policies programmes have been disappointed. It is not only the irrationality of markets which is the focus of public discontent, but the inefficiency of states and the inability of elected governments to humanise and control global market capitalism. So, in the aftermath of the 2008 crash prompted by the failure of US financial services conglomerate, Lehman Brothers, this book addresses a deceptively simple question: what is to be done? It makes the case for a new, post-crisis settlement harnessing the dynamic traditions of social liberalism and social democracy as the foundation for progressive reforms geared towards alleviating crisis aftershocks and addressing the deep-seated structural challenges afflicting Western capitalist democracies.
