El Talismán de Raziel
Dios selló con el hombre tres alianzas, y cada una de ellas tuvo un símbolo. El Arca dela Alianzafue el segundo pacto, y el Grial, el tercero. Pero antes, en el inicio de los tiempos, Dios puso a prueba a Adán. Le exigió fidelidad y pureza a cambio de la vida eterna. El símbolo de aquella alianza fue un talismán que Dios entregó al ángel Raziel. En su interior, grabado con fuego divino, estaba el secreto más íntimo dela Creación. Pero Adán rompió el pacto y el talismán de Raziel se perdió... aunque no para siempre. Enla Córdobade Abderramán III, su médico personal, Hasday ibn Saprut, recuperará aquel talismán. El paso del tiempo hará que pase por muchas manos, y otras lo anhelarán. El lector de esta novela se verá arrastrado a una apasionante aventura que lo llevará desdela EdadMediahasta nuestros días, cuando Rodrigo Suárez de Lara, un profesor de Historia del Arte jubilado, se haga con el talismán y deposite en él la última esperanza de sanar a su esposa. Una novela apasionante, donde se mezcla magia y aventura en un thriller que lo dejará sin aliento desde la primera página.

Chicano Drama
This book, first published in 2000, was the first since Jorge Huerta's earlier study Chicano Theater: Themes and Forms to explore the diversity and energy of Chicano theatre. Huerta takes as his starting point 1979, the year Luis Valdez's play, Zoot Suit, was produced on Broadway. Huerta looks at plays by and about Chicana and Chicanos, as they explore, through performance, the community and its identity caught between the United States and Mexico. Through informative biographies of each playwright and analyses of their plays, Huerta offers an accessible introduction to this important aspect of American theatre and culture. Overall, Huerta establishes a pattern of theatrical activity that is closely linked with both Western European traditions of realism and an indigenous philosophy seen in contemporary Chicano culture. The book contains photographs from key productions and will be invaluable to students, scholars and general theatregoers.
Time, Science and the Critique of Technological Reason
This festschrift commemorates the legacy of UK-based Portuguese sociologist Hermínio Martins (1934-2015). It introduces Martins’ wide-ranging contributions to the social sciences, encompassing seminal works in the fields of philosophy and social theory, historical and political sociology, studies of science and technology, and Luso-Brazilian studies, among others. The book features an in-depth interview with Martins, short memoirs, and twelve chapters addressing topics that were central to his intellectual and political interests. Among those that stand out are his critique of Thomas Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions, his work on the significance of time in social theory and the interweaving of techno-scientific developments and socio-cultural transformations, including the impact of communication and digital technologies, and of market-led eugenics. Other themes covered are Martins’ work on patrimonialism and social development in Portugal and Brazil, and his analysis of the state of the social sciences in Portugal, which reflects his highly critical appraisal of the ongoing marketization andneoliberalization of academic life and institutions worldwide.
