Archaeology in the River Duero Valley
From Prehistory to the Middle Ages, from the Spanish mainland to the Portuguese Atlantic Coast, the Duero (or Douro as it is known in English because of its Portuguese translation) has served as a river of great historical importance. It is a river flowing from the past into the future with the legacy of the Homo Antecessor and the most ancient remains of European Prehistory, showcasing the first samples of inland farming during the Iberian Neolithic period and many examples of Schematic Rock Art. Before the total obliteration of archaeological sites in the Duero valley due to active agricultural labours and the course of time itself, the Archaeological and Protohistoric Society of Zamora, Z...

Un paseo simbólico por el bosque. Aproximación a su dimensión originaria.
Es probable que ante una imagen tan cargada de sentido como es el bosque, nadie se cuestione su significado profundo, pues, de alguna forma, se da por hecho. Por ello, desde aquí se plantea iniciar una reflexión que, a sabiendas de que no puede ser exhaustiva, al menos sirva para rebasar la linde de esa primera línea de árboles para ir un poco más allá. Una reflexión que, sustentada desde algunos aspectos de la dimensión simbólica, ponga el acento en la construcción de la idea de bosque como lugar originario. De lo patente a lo latente, se va a establecer una breve cartografía forestal encaminada a la comprensión de este espacio desde la propia percepción a su elaboración arquetípica en el imaginario colectivo. Una noción heredada a través de factores tan diversos como el lenguaje, la literatura, el mito o la religión. La autora de este libro es profesora de la URJC.

An Introduction to Political Geography
An Introduction to Political Geography provides a broad-based introduction to how power interacts with space; how place influences political identities; and how policy creates and remoulds territory. By pushing back the boundaries of what we conventionally understand as political geography, the book emphasizes the interactions between power, politics and policy, space, place and territory in different geographical contexts. This is both an essential text for political geographers and also a valuable resource for students of related fields with an interest in politics and geography.
Indians and Mestizos in the "Lettered City"
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. Rarely acknowledged in studies of resistance to colonial rule, these writings challenged colonial hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in attempts to redefine the Andean role in colonial society. Scholars have long assumed that Spanish rule remained largely undisputed in Peru between the 1570s and 1780s, but educated elite Indians and mestizos challenged t...
