New Directions in Mediterranean Maritime History
This study seeks to correct the underrepresentation of Mediterranean maritime history in academic publications, in attempt to understand the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic environment in which maritime activity takes place, by compiling ten essays from maritime historians concerning Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Greece, Turkey, and Israel. The aim of the collection is to provide an insight into Mediterranean maritime history to those who could not previously access such information due to language barriers or difficulty securing non-English publications; some of the essays have translated into English specifically for this publication. The majority of the essays concern the Early Modern period, and the remainder concern the contemporary.

Meteorites
My goal in writing this book was to provide an introduction to meteorite science and a handbook on meteorite classification. Insofar as I succeeded it should prove useful both to the practicing professional and to university students at the upper-division and graduate levels. I originally intended the book to be nearly twice as long. The second half was to be a review of properties relating to the origin of each group of meteorites. Chapter XVIII is an example of how these later chapters would have looked, although most would not have been as interpretative. These chapters would have been useful chiefly to meteorite researchers looking for a quick summary of group properties; they were not w...
South Brunswick
South Brunswick traces the history of a central Jersey community from its earliest days through the mid-1900s. Established in 1798, the township began as an agrarian society and evolved and changed as it incorporated advances in transportation, education, and public services. More than two hundred images portray the people, vintage structures, and important events of Dayton, Deans, Monmouth Junction, and Kingstonthe historic villages within South Brunswick.
La província marítima de Mataró. Economia i conflictes socials (1750-1870)
Estudi de la marina catalana de la costa de Llevant en la seva etapa d’or, els segles XVIII i XIX, un període històric en el qual els calafats construïren el major nombre de naus que havien avarat mai les drassanes catalanes. Els mariners, portant tota mena de mercaderies a les bodegues de les seves naus, solcaren els mars més llunyans en les seves singladures i els pescadors abandonaren els caladors més propers per atansar-se amb els seus arts a les aigües oceàniques.
Fer-se a la mar. Narratives d’una descoberta pedagògica
La impressió estètica que desperta el mar en l’artista resulta incomparable. Però el mar també suscita una atracció instrumental i calculada que té per objecte trobar beneficis per a la vida quotidiana. Des d’antic, els pescadors, comerciants i guerrers dels pobles costaners l’han vist com un espai per descobrir, dominar i utilitzar, i més tard, els metges i els educadors també s’hi han fixat. Aquest llibre presenta un conjunt d’estudis, organitzats en quatre eixos, que tracten l’interès pedagògic pel mar des d’una perspectiva històrica. En el primer eix se situen les pràctiques a l’entorn del mar en els contextos culturals en què van sorgir. En el segon s’anal...
