Esta publicación recoge una cincuentena de aportaciones referidas al turismo, al ocio y a los espacios de recreo. La potente capacidad transformadora relacionada con la actividad turística hace necesario debatir, no sólo sobre las características y problemáticas del desarrollo turístico de los últimos años, sino también sobre la virtualidad de las estrategias y actuaciones acometidas, con la finalidad de evaluar su impacto territorial, económico y social. Tomando los destinos turísticos como principal eje argumental, ponencias, experiencias de interés y comunicaciones, plantean las complejas relaciones e interdependencias entre turismo y territorio en los destinos urbanos, los espacios rurales/ interior y los litorales. Se trata, en suma, de una aportación, desde la Geografía, orientada a propiciar una reflexión serena sobre el papel del turismo en las dinámicas territoriales y sobre las características de los territorios turísticos que estamos construyendo en estos comienzos del siglo XXI.

First published in 1981, this collection of essays was taken from Peters’ larger work, Psychology and Ethical Development (1974) in order to provide a more focused volume on moral education for students. Peters’ background in both psychology and philosophy makes the work distinctive, which is evident from the first two essays alone: ‘Freud’s theory of Moral Development in Relation to that of Piaget’ and ‘Moral Education and the Psychology of Character’. He also displays balance in his acceptance that reason and feeling are both of great importance where the subject of moral education is concerned. Although written some time ago, the book discusses issues which are still of considerable interest and importance today.
This book focuses on the influence of sex and gender in migraine, presenting new insights in basic science as well as their clinical relevance. As migraine is roughly three times more common in women than in men, and also highly depends on hormonal milestones – such as menarche, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause – particular attention is devoted to the role of female sex hormones in this disease. The first chapters present general data on gender-related differences in migraine such as epidemiology, comorbidities and related risks. Furthermore, while several chapters focus on the role of female sex hormones in migraine-triggering mechanisms at a basic scientific level (e.g. cranial circulation), ample attention is also paid to the clinical relevance of such mechanisms and to the best clinical treatment for migraine patients. As the first book entirely devoted to this topic, it will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of neurology, internal medicine, endocrinology, physiology and pharmacology.
The work that helped to determine Paul Feyerabend's fame and notoriety, Against Method, stemmed from Imre Lakatos's challenge: "In 1970 Imre cornered me at a party. 'Paul,' he said, 'you have such strange ideas. Why don't you write them down? I shall write a reply, we publish the whole thing and I promise you—we shall have a lot of fun.' " Although Lakatos died before he could write his reply, For and Against Method reconstructs his original counter-arguments from lectures and correspondence previously unpublished in English, allowing us to enjoy the "fun" two of this century's most eminent philosophers had, matching their wits and ideas on the subject of the scientific method. For and Aga...
