La Germanía de Valencia (1519-1522), el conflicto sociopolítico más relevante de la historia valenciana, es analizado desde el campo temático de las revueltas y revoluciones medievales y modernas centrando la mirada en un momento particular de esta: la dramática etapa originada a partir de su radicalización.

Sus acciones fueron denostadas como irracionales y bárbaras por cronistas y vencedores; sin embargo, las distintas luchas que instrumentaron los p...

Through an ethnographic case study of an Islamic boarding school, Darul Falah, and the community committed to it, this book trains its fo...
The Australian Guidelines for the Treatment of Alcohol Problems have been periodically developed over the past 25 years. In 1993, the first version of these guidelines, titled: ‘An outline for the management of alcohol problems: Quality assurance in the treatment of drug dependence project’ was published (Mattick & Jarvis 1993).

The present version of the Guidelines was also commissioned by the ...
