Inter and Post-war Tourism in Western Europe, 1916–1960
This edited collection is a novel book with contributions from eleven expert researchers on the history of tourism in Europe. This book explores the growth of tourism in contemporary postwar Europe, especially during the periods following the First and Second World Wars and the Spanish Civil War. It reveals both the work carried out by social agents and institutions to develop tourism, and the contribution of tourism in boosting the economy and the recovery of morale in the Old Continent Its origin is the International Congress Postguerres / Aftermaths of War, organized by the Department of History and Archeology of the University of Barcelona, in Barcelona, in June 2019. In this Congress, professors Carmelo Pellejero and Marta Luque coordinated the session Post-war and tourism in contemporary Europe, in which all the authors of the book participated.

Tourism, Urbanization, and the Evolving Periphery of the European Union
This book explores travel, tourism, and urban development at the edges of Europe from the 1970s until the present. It compares tourism-spurred urban growth in Spain and Bulgaria, showing how development in Southern Europe after the fall of dictatorships provided a model for integrating post-socialist Europe in the 1990s. It analyzes the economic, cultural, and political dimensions of tourist economies, showing how they aligned with major European Union integration goals and were supported with EU development funds. It also chronicles the social and environmental costs of mass tourism where over-development has despoiled beachfronts and promoted low paying service jobs, reinforcing regional divisions in Europe between those who host and those who visit. Ultimately, it argues that while mass tourism is touted as a viable economic solution to EU inequality, it can potentially exacerbate disparities between core and peripheral zones, creating new and troubling forms of regional polarization.
I briganti e le vittime della nazione
Il volume ricostruisce il modello vittimario partendo dalla Repubblica napoletana (1799) fino ad arrivare alle vittime delle mafie dei nostri giorni. Il Risorgimento ha consolidato la figura della vittima, nella sua più ampia accezione – eroe, martire, patriota, caduto, danneggiato –, che diventa nell’immaginario della nazione un topos destinato a una fortuna duratura. Il movimento unitario sostiene una grande campagna per raccogliere risorse destinate ai «danneggiati del brigantaggio». Per la prima volta anche i poveri, rovinati dal conflitto civile, sono considerati vittime innestandosi nel processo di nation building. Il lungo periodo permette di risalire alle origini del discorso pubblico sulla vittimizzazione definendo periodizzazioni, individuando dati strutturali e interpretando passaggi congiunturali della storia nazionale, con uno sguardo aperto al confronto internazionale.
Humanidades y ciencias sociales
Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, interrelaciones con las nuevas tecnologías en la sociedad del conocimiento es una apuesta firme y decidida por aunar, en una sola obra, una visión integradora y holística que abarque tanto a las Humanidades como las Ciencias Sociales, en sus múltiples interrelaciones, desde un conjunto de aportaciones que tienen por objeto manifestar como en una y otra disciplina convergen la nuevas tecnologías y los entornos digitales, amén de la redes sociales; incidiendo tanto en la construcción del conocimiento, esto es, en la investigación, como en su ulterior transferencia al sistema educativo, siendo acogidas como base de múltiples trabajos que tienen por objetivo formar a los futuros ciudadanos de este mundo. En este libro convergen visiones desde el Arte, la Historia, la Geografía y la Comunicación. Nuestro objetivo ha sido crear una malla científica entre investigadores de diversa naturaleza, que han sabido entretejer caminos digitales y colaborativos entre estas cuatro disciplinas. Fruto de ello, son las visiones que aquí le ofrecemos, donde se tratan temas de plena actualidad y sus interconexiones con el mundo digital en el que vivimos.
Gathering Souls: Jesuit Missions and Missionaries in Oceania (1668–1945)
This essay deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus in today’s Micronesia from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos, the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never officially set foot on the Marianas during the nineteenth century. It was not until the twentieth century that they went back to Micronesia, taking charge of the mission on the Northern Marianas along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands, thus returning to one of the cradles of Jesuit martyrdom in Oceania.
Europe At the Seaside
Mass tourism is one of the most striking developments in postwar western societies, involving economic, social, cultural, and anthropological factors. For many countries it has become a significant, if not the primary, source of income for the resident population. The Mediterranean basin, which has long been a very popular destination, is explored here in the first study to scrutinize the region as a whole and over a long period of time. In particular, it investigates the area’s economic and social networks directly involved in tourism, which includes examining the most popular spots that attract tourists and the crucial actors, such as hotel entrepreneurs, travel agencies, charter companies, and companies developing seaside resort networks. This important volume presents a fascinating picture of the economics of tourism in one of the world’s most visited destinations.
High Mountain Conservation in a Changing World
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.
