In Japan there are robots that guide customers through marketplaces advising them where to find the product matching their needs, and realistic replicas of university professors allow them to teach their lectures a hundred kilometers away from the classroom. Not to speak about intelligent prostheses and remote high-precision surgery.
Biolinguistics is a highly interdisciplinary field that seeks the rapprochement between linguistics and biology. Linking theoretical linguistics, theoretical biology, genetics, neuroscience and cognitive psychology, this book offers a collection of chapters situating the enterprise conceptually, highlighting both the promises and challenges of the field, and chapters focusing on the challenges and prospects of taking interdisciplinarity seriously. It provides concrete illustrations of some of the cutting-edge research in biolinguistics and piques the interest of undergraduate students looking for a field to major in and inspires graduate students on possible research directions. It is also meant to show to specialists in adjacent fields how a particular strand of theoretical linguistics relates to their concerns, and in so doing, the book intends to foster collaboration across disciplines.

Durant la major part de la seva història, els Estudis Universitaris Catalans serviren per a donar als estudiants de la Universitat de Barcelona, fora del seu recinte, aquells ensenyaments relacionats amb la cultura catalana que restaven exclosos d'aquell centre oficial. Els Estudis Universitaris Catalans mantingueren una estreta relació amb l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans, encara que tingueren una funció docent, que no era l'específica de l'IEC. Aquest llibre, és, en certa manera, complementari de la "Història de l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans" publicada en dos volums per Albert Balcells, Enric Pujol i Santiago Izquierdo.
