Llevamos el ordenador en el bolsillo. Hoy en día, un cada vez más pe-queño dispositivo pone al alcance de nuestras manos, en cualquier mo-mento y lugar, toda la información que circula a través de la Red. Los dispositivos móviles tipo Smartphone han convulsionado, no solo el tradicional sistema de medios de comunicación, sino que han supuesto una revolución en los modos de relación en el conjunto de la sociedad. Actualmente, parece impensable pasear sin encontrar a alguien con un móvil en la mano. Consultar información, llamar, hacer fotografías o vídeos, son utilidades con un enorme potencial tanto en el nuevo ecosistema mediático digital, como en otras muchas disciplinas en las que estos nuevos instrumentos ofrecen inéditas posibilidades de conectividad e interacción.

On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.
This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.
Graphic novel.
Ever get the feeling that life's a game with changing rules and no clear sides? Welcome to gamespace, the world in which we live. Where others argue obsessively over violence in games, Wark contends that digital computer games are our society's emergent cultural form, a utopian version of the world as it is. Gamer Theory uncovers the significance of games in the gap between the near-perfection of actual games and the imperfect gamespace of everyday life in the rat race of free-market society.

En la presente obra se pretenden explorar las prácticas comunicativas y el consumo cultural de adolescentes en las pantallas digitales, esa generación que crece junto a las tecnologías digitales, ordenadores, videojuegos, cámaras digitales o teléfonos móviles con acceso a un mundo inexplorado e interminable de redes sociales y aplicaciones (Fortunati y Magnanelli, 2002; Ling, 2002; Sánchez-Carbonell, Graner y Beranuy, 2007). La multifuncionalidad del móvil y sus atributos, lo hacen singularmente atractivo para jóvenes y adolescentes.
