Este atlas es el fruto de casi quince años de trabajo. Un grupo de más de cincuenta investigadores recorrieron la provincia para obtener la información cuantitativa necesaria para confeccionar una serie de mapas que muestran con detalle la distribución de las diferentes aves nidificantes. Los textos, redactados por otros tantos expertos, trazan un retrato del estado de sus poblaciones y proporcionan consejos prácticos para localizar las diferentes especies en el campo. La obra presenta un importante aparato gráfico con imágenes de más de treinta fotógrafos y los dibujos de Lluís Sogorb, que ilustran una volumen que facilitará al amante de la naturaleza en general el disfrute de la observación de las casi 180 especies de aves que podemos encontrar nidificando en la provincia. El resultado es este libro que publica la Universidad de Alicante en coedición con el grupo local de Alicante de SEO-BirdLife.
Through newly unearthed texts virtually unknown in Andean studies, Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City" highlights the Andean intellectual tradition of writing in their long-term struggle for social empowerment and questions the previous understanding of the "lettered city" as a privileged space populated solely by colonial elites.

"Molecular Gels: Materials with Self-Assembled Fibrillar Networks" is a comprehensive treatise on gelators, especially low molecular-mass gelators and the properties of their gels. The structures and modes of formation of the self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFINs) that immobilize the liquid components of the gels are discussed experimentally and theoretically. The spectroscopic, rheological, and structural features of the different classes of low molecular-mass gelators are also presented. Many examples of the application of the principal analytical techniques for investigation of molecular gels (including SANS, SAXS, WAXS, UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopies, scanning ...
