YOsumidor
El consumo es una parte esencial de nuestra forma de estar en el mundo. Y la pandemia lo alteró radicalmente: cambiaron los canales de compra, las categorías a las que se dedicaba el gasto, la relación con las marcas y la percepción de lo que era o no relevante a la hora de comprar un producto. Este libro, que se sustenta en una serie de estudios sobre el impacto de la pandemia en el consumidor español, realizados por Google y The Cocktail Analysis durante la crisis y a su finalización, atiende a cómo los españoles se relacionarán con el consumo tras la experiencia COVID-19. Pero, más allá de eso, utiliza la crisis reciente como un laboratorio experimental para entender el papel del consumo en nuestras vidas y ver, por contraste, cuáles eran los comportamientos previos que dábamos por sentados, a los que no prestábamos atención y que quedan ahora cuestionados. En un momento en el que las sociedades están obligadas a repensarse, YOsumidor identifica las grandes tendencias de consumo que venían fraguándose desde hace años y que la pandemia ha desatado, y plantea los rasgos que caracterizarán al nuevo consumidor y que dominarán la próxima década.
Spanning the Strait
Spanning the Strait: Studies in Unity in the Western Mediterranean brings together a multidisciplinary collection of essays that examines the deep connections that bound together the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib in the medieval and early modern periods. Six articles on topics ranging from the eighth-century slave trade to sixteenth-century apocalypticism trace and analyze movement, mutual influence and patterns shared in the face of political, religious, and cultural difference. By transcending traditional disciplinary and temporal divisions, this collection of essays highlights the long history of contact and exchange that united the two sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. A comprehensive introduction by the editors contextualizes the articles within the last half-century of scholarship and salient contemporary trends. Contributors are Adam Gaiser, Linda G. Jones, Hussein Fancy, S.J. Pearce, David Coleman, and Marya T. Green-Mercado.
Apocalypse Now
Eschatology played a central role in both politics and society throughout the early modern period. It inspired people to strive for social and political change, including sometimes by violent means, and prompted in return strong reactions against their religious activism. From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, numerous apocalyptical and messianic movements came to the fore across Eurasia and North Africa, raising questions about possible interconnections. Why were eschatological movements so pervasive in early modern times? This volume provides some answers to this question by exploring the interconnected histories of confessions and religions from Moscow to Cusco. It offers a broad p...
Biohydrometallurgical Processes
Extensive industrialization has led to an increased release of toxic metals into the soil and air. Industrial waste can include mine overburden, bauxite residue, and E waste, and these can serve as a source of valuable recoverable metals. There are relatively simple methods to recycle these wastes, but they require additional chemicals, are expensive, and generate secondary waste that causes environmental pollution. Biohydrometallurgical processing is a cost-effective and ecofriendly alternative where biological processes help conserve dwindling ore resources and extract metals in a nonpolluting way. Microbes can be used in metal extraction from primary ores, waste minerals, and industrial a...
Mediating Fictions
"Mediating Fictions examines the variety of strategies that these authors use to deprecate women healers, and in the process, to create early modern "others" to whom the ideal, male physician could be contrasted. Spill, La Celestina, and La Lozana andaluza all attempt to dissuade their readers from seeking the healing service of ordinary women."--BOOK JACKET.
Visions, Prophecies and Divinations
Visions, Prophecies and Divinations is an introduction to the vast and complex phenomena of prophecy and vision in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires. This book is dedicated to the study of the millenarian and messianic movements in the early modern Iberian world, and it is one of the first collections of essays on the subject to be published in English. The ten chapters range from the analysis of Mesoamerican and South American indigenous prophetical beliefs to the intellectual history of the Luso-Brazilian Jesuit Antônio Vieira and his project of a Fifth Empire, passing through new approaches to the long-lasting Sebastianist belief and its political implications.
