Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo
El siglo XVI fue especialmente convulso en los reinos hispánicos por las guerras contra los otomanos y los conflictos con los protestantes, pero también fue un siglo de grandes descubrimientos e importantes avances científicos. Testigo de su tiempo, el poeta alicantino Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo supo plasmar en sus versos el ambiente que conoció, y lo hizo bajo la estética clásica de la compleja poesía neolatina. Autor cultísimo y de vida azarosa, fue estudiante en la Universidad de Valencia, médico naval en la Armada Invencible, náufrago en el mar del Norte, preso en Holanda, médico privado en Bélgica y amigo del humanista Justo Lipsio. Pese a que su vida transcurrió principalmente en el norte de Europa, mantuvo vivo el cariñoso recuerdo de su ciudad, pues son numerosas sus referencias a Alicante. La publicación de sus obras en la Universidad de Alicante constituye de alguna forma la compensación por tantos siglos de olvido de sus versos y la recuperación de un poeta fundamental de la poesía hispánica del siglo XVI.
Les vides de sants en la tradició romànica i en la cultura medieval i moderna
Aquest volum recull nou aportacions de diferents especialistes en hagiografia, religiositat, espiritualitat i devocionalisme en l'edat mitjana i en l'època moderna. El conjunt dels treballs posa en relleu avanços i noves perspectives d'estudi al voltant de la Legenda aurea i de la tradició en català d'aquesta obra. A més, s'hi analitzen altres escrits hagiogràfics de Voragine, s'hi presenta la investigació sobre textos hagiogràfics romànics des d'una òptica comparatista, s'hi tracta la influència de l'hagiografia en les novel·les de cavalleria i la relació entre la teologia i l'hagiografia. Finalment, s'hi recullen, també, contribucions sobre la literatura religiosa, mística i devocional catalana medieval i moderna.
Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century
In the last 20 years, there has been a remarkable emergence of innovations and technological advances that are generating promising changes and opportunities for sustainable agriculture, yet at the same time the agricultural sector worldwide faces numerous daunting challenges. Not only is the agricultural sector expected to produce adequate food, fiber, and feed, and contribute to biofuels to meet the needs of a rising global population, it is expected to do so under increasingly scarce natural resources and climate change. Growing awareness of the unintended impacts associated with some agricultural production practices has led to heightened societal expectations for improved environmental,...
Imagining Extinction
We are currently facing the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of life on Earth, biologists claim—the first one caused by humans. Heise argues that understanding these stories and symbols is indispensable for any effective advocacy on behalf of endangered species. More than that, she shows how biodiversity conservation, even and especially in its scientific and legal dimensions, is shaped by cultural assumptions about what is valuable in nature and what is not.
Innovation and Transition in Law: Experiences and Theoretical Settings
This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions.
Rickettsial Diseases
The only available reference to comprehensively discuss the common and unusual types of rickettsiosis in over twenty years, this book will offer the reader a full review on the bacteriology, transmission, and pathophysiology of these conditions. Written from experts in the field from Europe, USA, Africa, and Asia, specialists analyze specific patho
Asymmetric Synthesis of Three-Membered Rings
The first handbook to focus on the asymmetric synthesis of different types of three-membered rings. The outstanding and experienced authors have an excellent international reputation and cover cyclopropanes, epoxides and aziridines as well as chiral oxaziridines in equal measure. To this end, they describe in detail different synthetic approaches starting with chiral substrates as well as the application of chiral metal- or organocatalysts. Furthermore, methods for the kinetic resolution of initially racemic products are treated alongside recent advances and novel developments in established techniques for the synthesis of three-membered rings. With its structured composition this is of high interest to scientists in methodological and natural product synthesis as well as those in industrial and pharmaceutical chemistry.
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text is a concise handbook designed to assist the clinician in the implementation of APBI. This includes a review of the principles that underlie APBI, a practical and detailed description of each technique for APBI, a review of current clinical results of APBI, and a review of the incidence and management of treatment related complications.
Adaptive Radiation Therapy
Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an
