Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century.

In 1611 Francisco Martínez Montiño, chef to Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV of Spain, published what would become the most recognized Spanish cookbook for centuries: Arte de cocina, pastelería, vizcochería y conservería. This first English translation of The Art of Cooking, Pie Making, Pastry Making, and Preserving will delight and surprise readers with the rich array of ingredients and techniques found in the early modern kitchen. Based on her substantial research and hands-on experimentation, Carolyn A. Nadeau reveals how early cookbooks were organized and read and presents an in-depth analysis of the ingredients featured in the book. She also introduces Martínez Montiño and his contributions to culinary history, and provides an assessment of taste at court and an explanation of regional, ethnic, and international foodstuffs and recipes. The 506 recipes and treatises reproduced in The Art of Cooking, Pie Making, Pastry Making, and Preserving outline everything from rules for kitchen cleanliness to abstinence foods to seasonal banquet menus, providing insight into why this cookbook, penned by the chef of kings, stayed in production for centuries.
Durante la Guerra Civil (1936-1939) la integridad del patrimonio histórico-artístico español se vio seriamente amenazada como resultado de la conjunción de una serie de factores de carácter político, social, cultural y económico. El libro que aquí se presenta analiza tanto su destrucción y disgregación como las medidas desarrolladas para protegerlo y conservarlo a partir del estudio de las políticas culturales puestas en marcha por las autoridades republicanas y las fuerzas rebeldes. Sus diferentes concepciones sobre la cultura y su función social ayudan a explicar las diferencias existentes entre las políticas perfiladas en cada retaguardia y su grado de eficacia. Un aspecto en el que también resulta esencial el perfil y el grado de implicación de los hombres y mujeres que trabajaron en las labores de salvaguardia. Personas que, en muchos casos, pusieron en riesgo sus vidas y sus carreras con el único objetivo de preservar la herencia cultural española.

While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, Beeby Lonsdale demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. Using Spanish to English translation as her example, she presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students. Published in English.
