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.

Distant Winds
Routine is a quiet, peaceful enemy. Day by day it conquers new territories of one ́s soul until there ́s no desire left to fight against it. Michael and Gail, a young married couple, were just realizing the silent march of routine creeping in their lives and killing their love, when Michael brought home a book of poems with more than poetry in it. That book was the decisive factor for them to give up their comfortable but sad life and embark on a dream they had cherished for long: to travel the South Pacific aboard of an old sailing boat. But more is to come: Thomas Blake, an old librarian who owns a small bookstore close to where Michael works, gives him as a present a very special book. Only later and in the open sea will Michael and Gail discover the gift they have been blessed with. Their fears, their desires, for which probably the reader will relate to and the secret of living your own and unique life are enclosed in Distant Winds, a book with flavour of the sea that invites us to take the risks in our pursuit of true happiness.
Transparent Oxide Electronics
Transparent electronics is emerging as one of the most promising technologies for the next generation of electronic products, away from the traditional silicon technology. It is essential for touch display panels, solar cells, LEDs and antistatic coatings. The book describes the concept of transparent electronics, passive and active oxide semiconductors, multicomponent dielectrics and their importance for a new era of novel electronic materials and products. This is followed by a short history of transistors, and how oxides have revolutionized this field. It concludes with a glance at low-cost, disposable and lightweight devices for the next generation of ergonomic and functional discrete de...
