Arquitectura contemporánea en Colombia :
El interés por iniciar un proceso editorial soportado en un proyecto de investigación a propósito de la arquitectura y ciudad contemporánea en Colombia responde a una constatación académica compartida por varios investigadores y docentes de arquitectura: el número limitado de publicaciones producto de investigación sobre producciones recientes de arquitectura y ciudad en el país. El pensamiento teórico de la arquitectura y ciudad contemporánea en Colombia está por construir. Sin embargo, esta consecuencia no es de naturaleza negativa ya que el suelo para iniciar la construcción es fértil. Las fuentes para reflexionar sobre este tema son múltiples y potentes, razón que tambié...
Arquitectura contemporánea en Colombia:
El presente libro –segundo tomo fruto de un proyecto de investigación sobre arquitectura y ciudad contemporánea en Colombia– compila resultados de estudios sobre arquitecturas ejemplares en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XX. A través de diversos casos de estudio se presenta una pluralidad de miradas sobre la arquitectura, y en cada uno de ellos se hace evidente cómo la arquitectura acude al pasado, tanto para establecer las condiciones de posibilidad de su espacialidad presente como para amplificar el hecho arquitectónico hasta transformarlo en ciudad.

Creating Christian Granada
Creating Christian Granada provides a richly detailed examination of a critical and transitional episode in Spain's march to global empire. The city of Granada—Islam's final bastion on the Iberian peninsula—surrendered to the control of Spain's "Catholic Monarchs" Isabella and Ferdinand on January 2, 1492. Over the following century, Spanish state and Church officials, along with tens of thousands of Christian immigrant settlers, transformed the formerly Muslim city into a Christian one.With constant attention to situating the Granada case in the broader comparative contexts of the medieval reconquista tradition on the one hand and sixteenth-century Spanish imperialism in the Americas on...
Greek Science in the Long Run
Greek traditions relating to both the arts and sciences of life and health and those regarding the systematic development of theories of measurement and quantification enjoyed an incredibly long reputation and showed a kind of versatility that challenges any simplistic, dogmatic or a priori viewpoint about the meaning and social function of systematic knowledge. In this sense, they allow us to focus on very specific traits of the multiple processes of production, textual arrangement and transmission of the sciences. Greek Science in the Long Run: Essays on the Greek Scientific Tradition (4th c. BCEâ "17th c. CE) offers a collection of essays in which renowned international experts in ancien...

From Muslim to Christian Granada
Honorable Mention, 2010 Best First Book, Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies In 1492, Granada, the last independent Muslim city on the Iberian Peninsula, fell to the Catholic forces of Ferdinand and Isabella. A century later, in 1595, treasure hunters unearthed some curious lead tablets inscribed in Arabic. The tablets documented the evangelization of Granada in the first century A.D. by St. Cecilio, the city’s first bishop. Granadinos greeted these curious documents, known as the plomos, and the human remains accompanying them as proof that their city—best known as the last outpost of Spanish Islam—was in truth Iberia’s most ancient Christian settlement. Critic...

Realising REDD+
REDD+ must be transformational. REDD+ requires broad institutional and governance reforms, such as tenure, decentralisation, and corruption control. These reforms will enable departures from business as usual, and involve communities and forest users in making and implementing policies that a ect them. Policies must go beyond forestry. REDD+ strategies must include policies outside the forestry sector narrowly de ned, such as agriculture and energy, and better coordinate across sectors to deal with non-forest drivers of deforestation and degradation. Performance-based payments are key, yet limited. Payments based on performance directly incentivise and compensate forest owners and users. B...
