Els Estudis Universitaris Catalans (1903-1985) : per una universitat catalana
Durant la major part de la seva història, els Estudis Universitaris Catalans serviren per a donar als estudiants de la Universitat de Barcelona, fora del seu recinte, aquells ensenyaments relacionats amb la cultura catalana que restaven exclosos d'aquell centre oficial. Els Estudis Universitaris Catalans mantingueren una estreta relació amb l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans, encara que tingueren una funció docent, que no era l'específica de l'IEC. Aquest llibre, és, en certa manera, complementari de la "Història de l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans" publicada en dos volums per Albert Balcells, Enric Pujol i Santiago Izquierdo.
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.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Selected Stories of Mercè Rodoreda
Thirty one of Merce Rodoreda's most moving and challenging stories which capture his full range of expression. Moving from quiet literary realism to fragmentary impressionism to dark symbolism, Rodoreda captures the lives of women who are stuck between senseless modernity and suffocating tradition.
Campesinas, burguesas y señoras en la Baja Edad Media
Este libro afronta un objetivo de largo recorrido historiográfico: la visibilización de las mujeres, de modo individual y colectivo, en la Historia de la Baja Edad Media. Desde un punto de vista eminentemente social, en sus páginas se pone de relieve el estatus como un elemento clave a la hora de interpretar sus experiencias y sus contribuciones al desarrollo de la sociedad en los dos últimos siglos del medievo. Las mujeres del campesinado y de los grupos urbanos, junto con aquellas que pertenecieron a los linajes aristocráticos y las reinas se convierten así en el eje a través del cual explorar el mundo del trabajo, las relaciones económicas, el ejercicio del poder y la resolución de conflictos, entre otros aspectos. Todo ello a lo largo de veintiséis capítulos, a cargo de treinta y un especialistas, reunidos con el propósito añadido de ofrecer un afectuoso homenaje académico a la profesora de la Universidad de Zaragoza María del Carmen García Herrero, con motivo de su reciente jubilación.
The Cello Suites
An award-winning journey through Johann Sebastian Bach’s six cello suites and the brilliant musician who revealed their lasting genius. One fateful evening, journalist and pop-music critic Eric Siblin attended a recital of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites—an experience that set him on an epic quest to uncover the mysterious history of the entrancing compositions and their miraculous reemergence nearly two hundred years later. In pursuit of his musicological obsession, Siblin would unravel three centuries of intrigue, politics, and passion. Winner of the Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-fiction and the McAuslan First Book Prize, The Cello Suites weaves together three dramatic narratives:...
The Pandemic Century
Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.
