Science, Culture and National Identity in Francoist Spain, 1939–1959
This book examines the role that science and culture held as instruments of nationalization policies during the first phase of the Franco regime in Spain. It considers the reciprocal relationship between political legitimacy and developments in science and culture, and explores the ‘nationalization’ efforts in Spain in the 1940s and 1950s, via the complex process of transmitting narratives of national identity, through ideas, representations and homogenizing practices. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the volume features insights into how scientific and cultural language and symbols were used to formulate national identity, through institutions, resource distribution and specific na...
Ethnopharmacology
Ethnopharmacology is one of the world’s fastest-growing scientific disciplines encompassing a diverse range of subjects. It links natural sciences research on medicinal, aromatic and toxic plants with socio-cultural studies and has often been associated with the development of new drugs. The Editors of Ethnopharmacology have assembled an international team of renowned contributors to provide a critical synthesis of the substantial body of new knowledge and evidence on the subject that has emerged over the past decade. Divided into three parts, the book begins with an overview of the subject including a brief history, ethnopharmacological methods, the role of intellectual property protectio...

The Archaeology of Europe’s Drowned Landscapes
This open access volume provides for the first time a comprehensive description and scientific evaluation of underwater archaeological finds referring to human occupation of the continental shelf around the coastlines of Europe and the Mediterranean when sea levels were lower than present. These are the largest body of underwater finds worldwide, amounting to over 2500 find spots, ranging from individual stone tools to underwater villages with unique conditions of preservation. The material reviewed here ranges in date from the Lower Palaeolithic period to the Bronze Age and covers 20 countries bordering all the major marine basins from the Atlantic coasts of Ireland and Norway to the Black ...
Bio-based Solutions for Sustainable Development of Agriculture, Volume II
The agricultural industry is primarily driven by the fast growth of the population and the subsequent need to supply sufficient food globally. It is estimated that the global population will expand from 8 billion to about 9 billion in 2050 and crop production needs to double in order to supply enough food for all people by 2050. Moreover, the climate change and the intensification of areas of infertile and unproductive soil create new and additional difficulties. It is urgent and of utter importance to find alternative practices to the traditional ones (based on the indiscriminate use of various synthetic chemicals, e.g. fertilizers and pesticides), which are mainly used nowadays, to overcome current and future agricultural challenges in a natural, more efficient and sustainable way. Recent regulations (EU 1009/2019 and Farm Bill in EU and USA, respectively) promote the adoption of biostimulants in agriculture and open the market for new and innovative solutions. This regulation is a major step forward that should encourage the scientific community, in strict interaction with the industry, in the continuous development of new bio-based solutions for modern agriculture.
