Illuminating Human Evolution: 150 Years after Darwin
This book presents a series of perspectives showing the current knowledge about human evolution. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Darwin's book, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, in which he explicitly addresses the natural origin of the human species, this collective work reviews current and diverse aspects of human evolution: from psychology, linguistics, genomics, paleontology, artistic expression or sexual selection. It also offers a historical, social and ideological context of what is often considered to be Darwin's second great work after The Origin of Species. Although current research is concentrated largely on fossils and genomes, this book also deals...

The Consultation worked towards concluding a draft international plan of action (IPOA) to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
Understanding the Discourse of Aging
There are a number of books and articles covering particular facets of the topic of aging, such as the image of the elderly in the media, cinema, TV series and commercials, and in literature, which of course provide useful background material and references. However, these studies on aging discourse predominantly focus on a single discipline. This book adds a fresh perspective, by addressing the communicative practices surrounding age, aging and the elderly from a multidisciplinary perspective. The volume addresses several issues related to the discourse on aging, from the problems related to definitions of age to the image of the elderly in literature, cinema, and mass media, and gendered issues surrounding the aging process.

El solc de l'escriptura
Martí Domínguez i Barberà (1908-1984) ocupa un lloc destacat en la història del periodisme valencià del segle XX. En la dècada dels quaranta i cinquanta va assolir un notable protagonisme al capdavant del diari Las Provincias d'on va ser foragitat a causa dels continus enfrontaments amb la censura.

Entre altres capçaleres, en Levante, Hoja del Lunes, Valencia-fruits, Diario de Valencia i Noticias al Día.

Dazzle Gradually
At the crossroads of philosophy and science, the sometimes-dry topics of evolution and ecology come alive in this new collection of essays--many never before anthologized. Learn how technology may be a sort of second nature, how the systemic human fungus Candida albicans can lead to cravings for carrot cake and beer, how the presence of life may be why there's water on Earth, and many other fascinating facts. The essay "Metametazoa" presents perspectives on biology in a philosophical context, demonstrating how the intellectual librarian, pornographer, and political agitator Georges Bataille was influenced by Russian mineralogist Vladimir Vernadsky and how this led to his notion of the absenc...

Handbook of Research on Historical Pandemic Analysis and the Social Implications of COVID-19
The current health situation has been described as chaotic and devastating. Humanity’s trust in the future and in its human capacity to overcome a disaster of such magnitude is even starting to wither away. If science still lacks a response to the pandemic, can the humanities offer something to cope with this situation? The world can adopt a historical perspective and realize that this is not the first time a global pandemic has struck. Issues including illness, suffering, endurance, resilience, human survival, etc. have been dealt with by literature, philosophy, psychology, and sociology throughout the ages and should be explored once again in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Handbo...
Report of the Expert Consultation on Fishing Vessels Operating Under Open Registries and Their Impact on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing
The Expert Consultation was convened by FAO with a view to facilitating the implementation of the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Deter, Prevent and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU). Experts for this Consultation were selected because of their experience with open registries and in the field of fisheries. The Experts focused on the effects of IUU fishing on global fishery resources and on lessons that might be learned from the experiences of flag states that have already implemented tighter control over the activities of their fishing vessels. Background papers and three case studies from selected open registry countries were presented.--Publisher's description.
Festa popular, territori i educació
Aquest volum estudia la dimensió formativa de la festa, en tant que manifestació social, expressió simbòlica del poble i mecanisme de vinculació al territori. Des de disciplines diverses i convergents, que integren la història, la filologia, l'etnopoètica i les didàctiques específiques, es fan apropaments als elements literaris i teatrals que configuren les festes, des del cicle de Nadal i Pasqua, passant per les festes dels Moros i Cristians, sant Antoni, la Patum, el rerefons satíric de la festa de Carnaval, la Muixeranga o els Castellers, que integren cercaviles, danses i cançons. Dins la vessant educativa de la festa, s'hi presenten i analitzen els resultats d'experiències didàctiques i projectes educatius que empren les manifestacions festives, d'arrel tradicional o incorporades des de la interculturalitat, com a element motivador del treball a les aules.
