Quaranta anys després
Quaranta anys després del retorn dels estudis de Medicina a Lleida val la pena mirar enrere i explicar-ne la història: el perquè, el com i el qui. Tres segles després de l'abolició de l'Estudi General de Lleida, i de retruc els estudis de Medicina, el retorn d'una universitat pròpia era el clam d'una vella aspiració lleidatana. Per què existeixen els estudis de Medicina a Lleida? Era inevitable el retorn, o bé era alta la probabilitat de fracàs? En aquesta crònica de la història de la ciutat i de la Universitat de Lleida s'intentaran respondre aquestes qüestions, posant llum en les ombres de petites històries desconegudes que, totes plegades, acaben construint les arrels de la nostra societat. Molt sovint demanem els noms dels protagonistes de les històries, de vegades ignorant que també existeixen desenes de persones anònimes que han dedicat molts cops la seva vida a l'assoliment de fites cíviques i altruistes. Aquest és el cas del retorn dels estudis de Medicina a Lleida.

The Romance Languages
What is a Romance language? How is one Romance language related to others? How did they all evolve? And what can they tell us about language in general? In this comprehensive survey Rebecca Posner, a distinguished Romance specialist, examines this group of languages from a wide variety of perspectives. Her analysis combines philological expertise with insights drawn from modern theoretical linguistics, both synchronic and diachronic. She relates linguistic features to historical and sociological factors, and teases out those elements which can be attributed to divergence from a common source and those which indicate convergence towards a common aim. Her discussion is extensively illustrated with new and original data, and an up-to-date and comprehensive bibliography is included. This volume will be an invaluable and authoritative guide for students and specialists alike.
Confronting Corruption
Corruption undermines nearly all key legal and developmental priorities today, including the effective functioning of democratic institutions and honest elections; environmental protection; human rights and human security; international development programs; and fair competition for global trade and investment. This book chronicles the global anticorruption steps taken since the movement advanced after the end of the Cold War. It provides a realistic assessment of the present state of affairs by critically evaluating what existing anticorruption programs and treaties have accomplished and documenting their shortcomings, while developing an action agenda for the next decade. The authors argue that reformative action is imperative, and the forces of globalization and digital communication will level the playing field and erode the secrecy corruption requires. They define corruption, document its effects, discuss the initiatives that changed public perception, analyze the lessons learned, and then evaluate how to move forward with existing initiatives charting a new path with new, differentiated strategies.
Corruption & Human Rights
This book offers the reader a broader view of the human rights approach towards combating corruption - including the arguments of those who oppose this approach - while it also considers how corruption may violate individual civil, political, economic, social and cultural human rights.
The Crombergers of Seville
During the first half of the sixteenth century, three generations of the Cromberger family dominated printing in Seville, a city which at the time was Castile's population center and seat of book production. This volume, based on extensive research, is the first study of a major sixteenth-century Spanish printing house. Griffin's account of the Cromberger press--from which came many influential religious, literary, and historical works--and the family's wider commercial interests at home and abroad provides important insights into contemporary Spanish culture and reading habits, and the Crombergers' wider significance in Renaissance culture and the history of printing. The book also includes, in a microfiche appendix, 1,600 pages of detailed bibliographical description.
