Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre.

This is a book dedicated to show a series of case studies about how benthic habitats are organized and how they function as a tool for any environmental impact studies. The present book documents how the natural condition of these communities is and aims to expand our present knowledge about their organization. The human population growth is driving a very strong pressure over coastal areas, and now more than ever we urgently need elements to evaluate environmental impacts. One of the most striking situations is the loss of biodiversity and the increase of invasive species who modify the trophic networks as well as the community structure. Many endangered species and species related to fishe...
The information overload produced by the printing press and the new forms of the structuring of knowledge are echoed in fictional works. The essays assembled in this book study the textualization of problematic forms of knowledge in medieval and early modern Spanish literature. Literary Works like the Libro buen amor, La Lozana Andaluza, or the Guzmán de Alfarache are read against the backdrop of scientific developments of their times.

Difícilmente se encontrará a un autor hispanoamericano que no haya dado su parecer sobre el Quijote, la novela o su creador, o que no se haya aproximado, aunque sólo simbólicamente, al caballero de la triste figura. Aunque el camino del Quijote por América Latina difiere de su itinerario por España, aquel forma una parte importante e integrante de la recepción del Quijote. “La Mancha, en verdad, adquirió todo su sentido en las Américas”, dice Carlos Fuentes destacando así la relevancia de la contribución latinoamericana al debate sobre el Quijote.

Lobela is the first volume of poetry written by Justo Bolekia Boleka, poet, author, and linguist. In these poems, Boleka expresses his connection to his native land, Equatorial Guinea, the only nation in Sub-Saharan Africa whose language of colonization is Spanish. Gods, goddesses, adoration of elders, customs, longing for a lost land, and lost way of life are all part of these poetic expressions. Originally in Spanish, replete with songs, expressions, chants, and cadences from his native Bubi language, English readers will now have access to these expressions in this bi-lingual edition.
Across a five-hundred-year sweep of history, Willis Knapp Jones surveys the native drama and the Spanish influence upon it in nineteen South American countries, and traces the development of their national theatres to the 1960s. This volume, filled with a fascinating array of information, sparkles with wit while giving the reader a fact-filled course in the history of Spanish American drama that he can get nowhere else. This is the first book in English ever to consider the theatre of all the Spanish American countries. Even in Spanish, the pioneer study that covers the whole field was also written by Jones. Jones sees the history of a nation in the history of its drama. Pre-Columbian Indian...
La manera de representar el poder a través del arte efímero, el arte costumbrista, la emblemática, los retratos y las caricaturas, así como la construcción de la identidad cultural y nacional en Iberoamérica son los puntos clave de esta obra, en la que los autores establecen paralelismos y diferencias entre la representación del poder en la Península y en el continente americano, durante el amplio periodo histórico que va entre los siglos XVI y XIX.
