The Vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula
This book provides a compact, up-to-date and detailed overview of the vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula, a highly diverse part of Europe in the Mediterranean area. Written by a group of experienced researchers, the volume includes a first section with general chapters discussing the climate, the biogeography and the flora, and a second section with detailed descriptions of the 14 regional sectors into which the peninsula and Balearic Islands have been divided. A third section explores special features, such as aquatic vegetation, gypsum and dolomite vegetation, coastal vegetation, mountain flora and vegetation, conservation issues and alien flora.
Castillos y arquitectura fortificada en Andalucía
Arquitectos, arqueólogos, historiadores del arte, juristas y gestores del patrimonio analizan cómo conservar y restaurar los castillos y la arquitectura defensiva, quedando agrupados sus escritos en tres partes: una primera dedicada a metodología, legislación y recomendaciones; otra centrada en la gestión y la práctica, con ejemplos españoles e internacionales; y una tercera dedicada a intervenciones en castillos andaluces. Todo ello se completa con un amplio anexo que comprende cuarenta y seis informes, realizados a modo de fichas y ampliamente ilustrados, sobre obras de restauración de fortificaciones de Andalucía efectuadas a comienzos del siglo XXI
Rehabitar en nueve episodios
"Este libro reúne los nueve catálogos de los nueve episodios del proyecto re.habitar. Un proyecto que dio lugar a seis exposiciones en la sala La Arquería de Nuevos Ministerios de Madrid, desde inicios de 2010 hasta finales de 2011. Sus contenidos van del posicionamiento personal a la mudanza, de la casa a la calle, de la esfera privada al espacio público. En estos catálogos, como en las exposiciones que resumieron, se han reunido una cantidad significativa de ejemplos que abarcan todas las escalas de la arquitectura y que pueden ser tomados como una constatación de que el hecho de volver a usar la casa y la calle no constituye ninguna novedad. En cambio, sí lo es la consciencia de vo...
Herramientas para habitar el presente
Explores the development and design of dwellings for twenty-first century needs with respect to changing family styles, environmental concerns, and social and economic factors, and considers examples in Spain and in other countries.
Evolutionary Biogeography
"Rather than favoring only one approach, Juan J. Morrone proposes a comprehensive treatment of the developments and theories of evolutionary biogeography. Evolutionary biogeography uses distributional, phylogenetic, molecular, and fossil data to assess the historical changes that have produced current biotic patterns. Panbiogeography, parsimony analysis of endemicity, cladistic biogeography, and phylogeography are the four recent and most common approaches. Many conceive of these methods as representing different "schools," but Morrone shows how each addresses different questions in the various steps of an evolutionary biogeographical analysis. Panbiogeography and parsimony analysis of endem...
Spatial Impacts of Climate Change
Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
A Short History of Mathematical Population Dynamics
As Eugene Wigner stressed, mathematics has proven unreasonably effective in the physical sciences and their technological applications. The role of mathematics in the biological, medical and social sciences has been much more modest but has recently grown thanks to the simulation capacity offered by modern computers. This book traces the history of population dynamics---a theoretical subject closely connected to genetics, ecology, epidemiology and demography---where mathematics has brought significant insights. It presents an overview of the genesis of several important themes: exponential growth, from Euler and Malthus to the Chinese one-child policy; the development of stochastic models, f...
