Las humanidades digitales como expresión y estudio del patrimonio digital
Las Humanidades Digitales son, sin más, las Humanidades de hoy. E l quehacer humanista ha devenido en labor interdisciplinar, multidisciplinar y pluridisciplinar. Profundizando en esta idea, reconocemos que la base de este nuevo medio y canal se sustenta, en gran medida, en la existencia del hipertexto, podríamos afirmar que la labor del humanista del siglo XXI es hiperdisciplinar, tomando prestado el prefijo del griego clásico ὑπέρ —híper— con el significado de ‘por encima de’, ‘más allá de’. Aceptamos, así, desde este punto de vista que cualquier trabajo de y en Humanidades va más allá de lo que tradicionalmente se ha considerado nuestra disciplina, y que se actua...
Ciencia, técnica y tecnología en la historia
El ser humano a desarrollado la ciencia, la técnica y la tecnología con el principal objetivo de mejorar sus condiciones de adaptación al medio que le ha rodeado en los diferentes momentos del pasado. Al mismo tiempo, determinados inventos o teorías científicas inicialmente concebidas como hitos en pro de la humanidad han terminado por revelarse de forma opuesta a la pretendida. Dada la influencia que han tenido tales disciplinas en el progreso hist´órico, era necesario conceder un espacio apropiado de discusión e intercambio científicos en el que abordar el desarrollo de todas aquellas innovaciones que se han producido a lo largo de la historia y su papel en el transcurso de esta. Al fin y al cabo, la propia producción de tales avances tuvo un impacto real en el devenir humano y sentó las bases del futuro, nuestro presente.
Laser Scanning
Ever since the invention of laser by Schawlow and Townes in 1958, various innovative ideas of laser-based applications emerge very year. At the same time, scientists and engineers keep on improving laser's power density, size, and cost which patch up the gap between theories and implementations. More importantly, our everyday life is changed and influenced by lasers even though we may not be fully aware of its existence. For example, it is there in cross-continent phone calls, price tag scanning in supermarkets, pointers in the classrooms, printers in the offices, accurate metal cutting in machine shops, etc. In this volume, we focus the recent developments related to laser scanning, a very powerful technique used in features detection and measurement. We invited researchers who do fundamental works in laser scanning theories or apply the principles of laser scanning to tackle problems encountered in medicine, geodesic survey, biology and archaeology. Twenty-eight chapters contributed by authors around the world to constitute this comprehensive book.
The Archaeology of the Spanish Civil War
The Archaeology of the Spanish Civil War offers the first comprehensive account of the Spanish Civil War from an archaeological perspective, providing an alternative narrative on one of the most important conflicts of the twentieth century, widely seen as a prelude to the Second World War. Between 1936 and 1939, totalitarianism and democracy, fascism and revolution clashed in Spain, while the latest military technologies were being tested, including strategic bombing and combined arms warfare, and violence against civilians became widespread. Archaeology, however, complicates the picture as it brings forgotten actors into play: obsolete weapons, vernacular architecture, ancient structures (f...

More Sex is Safer Sex
With his long-running 'Everyday Economics' column in Slate and his popular book, The Armchair Economist, Steven Landsburg has been leading the pack of economists who are transforming their science from a drab meditation on graphs and charts into a fascinating window on human nature. Now he's back and more provocative than ever with surprises on virtually every page. In More Sex is Safer Sex, Professor Landsburg offers readers a series of stimulating discussions that all flow from one unsettling fact. Combining the rational decisions of each of us often produces an irrational result for all of us. Avoiding casual sex can actually encourage the spread of diseases. To solve population pressures, we need more people. In his tantalizing, entertaining narrative, Landsburg guides us through these shocking notions by the light of compelling logic and evidence and makes suggestions along the way: Why not charge juries if a convicted felon is exonerated? Why not let firemen keep the property they rescue? As entertaining as it is inflammatory, More Sex is Safer Sexwill make readers think about their decisions in unforgettable ways -- and spark debate over much that we all take for granted.

Adoptive Migration
Spain has one of the highest per capita international adoption rates in the world. Internationally adopted kids are coming from many of the same countries as do the many immigrants who are radically transforming Spain's demographics. Based on interviews with adoptive families, migrant families, and adoption professionals, Jessaca B. Leinaweaver examines the experiences of Latin American children adopted into a rapidly multiculturalizing society. She focuses on Peruvian adoptees and immigrants in Madrid, but her conclusions apply more broadly, to any pairing of adoptees and migrants from the same country. Leinaweaver finds that international adoption, particularly in a context of high rates of transnational migration, is best understood as both a privileged and unusual form of migration, and a crucial and contested method of family formation. Adoptive Migration is a fascinating study of the implications for adopted children of growing up in a country that discriminates against their fellow immigrants.
