Between Preservation and Exploitation
A study of biodiversity governance analyzes the factors that determine the effectiveness of transnational advocacy networks and the importance of justice claims to conservation. In the late 2000s, ordinary citizens in Jamaica and Mexico demanded that government put a stop to lucrative but environmentally harmful economic development activities—bauxite mining in Jamaica and large-scale tourism and overfishing on the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. In each case, the catalyst for the campaign was information gathered and disseminated by transnational advocacy networks (TANs) of researchers, academics, and activists. Both campaigns were successful despite opposition from industry supp...
The Exploitation of Raw Materials in Prehistory
This collection presents state-of-the-art approaches to the use of inorganic raw materials in the period known as prehistory. It focuses on stone-tools, adornments, colorants and pottery from Europe, America and Africa. The chapters intimately merge archaeology, anthropology, geology, geography, physics and chemistry to reconstruct past human behaviour, economy, technology, ecology, cognition, territory and social complexity. The book represents a framework of raw material investigation for those working in science, regardless of the time period, region of the world or materials they are studying.
The Oxford Handbook of Borderlands of the Iberian World
This Handbook integrates innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to the production of Iberian imperial borderlands in the Americas, from southwestern U.S. to Patagonia, and their connections to trade and migratory circuits extending to Asia and Africa. In this volume borderlands comprise political boundaries, spaces of ethnic and cultural exchange, and ecological transitions.

UCDM y la mujer
Una invitación para hacer juntas el camino sobre nuestra experiencia como mujeres alumnas de UCDM. Empezando por mirar amorosamente todos nuestros dones, recordando “el camino de la gracia” que llevamos implícito en nuestra sensible experiencia como mujeres, para seguir luego observando ese íntimo anhelo de relación especial que está muy presente en nosotras y que por supuesto conlleva también nuestro antiguo miedo a ser rechazadas o abandonadas para sanarla en su íntima raíz a la luz de UCDM, así como mirar también nuestra relación con nuestro cuerpo. Observar nuestra atávica tendencia de “mamás gallina” y comprender el gran poder para decidir comprometernos en la búsq...
Archaeology of Households, Kinship, and Social Change
Archaeology of Households, Kinship, and Social Change offers new perspectives on the processes of social change from the standpoint of household archaeology. This volume develops new theoretical and methodological approaches to the archaeology of households pursuing three critical themes: household diversity in human residential communities with and without archaeologically identifiable houses, interactions within and between households that explicitly considers impacts of kin and non-kin relationships, and lastly change as a process that involves the choices made by members of households in the context of larger societal constraints. Encompassing these themes, authors explore the role of so...

Corazones en el café (Premio Vergara - El Rincón de la Novela Romántica 2017)
Una historia de amor diferente y difícil de olvidar. Ganadora del VII Premio Vergara - El Rincón de la Novela Romántica. Tras sufrir un desafortunado percance, Lena vaga por las calles de una ciudad enorme y desconocida en el otro extremo del mundo -Buenos Aires-, mientras se pregunta en qué momento esa escapada le pareció una buena idea. Quizás después de haber recibido un vídeo en el que su prometido retozaba con la stripper que amenizó su despedida de soltero. O tal vez tras la última discusión con su madre, al anunciarle que había decidido cancelar la boda. Necesitaba alejarse de Madrid por un tiempo, no imaginó que se encontraría en la situación en que ahora se encuentra,...
