Lateness and Modernity in Medieval Architecture
This volume engages with notions of lateness and modernity in medieval architecture, broadly conceived geographically, temporally, methodologically, and theoretically. It aims to (re)situate secular and religious buildings from the 14th through the 16th centuries that are indebted to medieval building practices and designs, within the more established narratives of art and architectural history.
La formación artística: creadores-historiadores-espectadores
En esta publicación se recogen los trabajos presentados en el XXI Congreso Nacional de Historia del Arte (CEHA), celebrado en el Palacio de la Magdalena de Santander entre los días 20 al 23 de septiembre de 2016. El eje vertebrador de dicho congreso giró en torno a una temática a la vez monográfica y transversal: LA FORMACIÓN ARTÍSTICA. Se aborda este objetivo desde la doble perspectiva que plantean los dos protagonistas principales del diálogo artístico (el creador y el espectador), pasando por el historiador del arte como mediador entre ambos. Empleando este hilo conductor, se traza el rico panorama investigador nacional, tratando de reflejar las principales orientaciones metodológicas de la disciplina, así como las líneas de trabajo más consolidadas y las emergentes. Las aportaciones en cada uno de los seis bloques (desde el gremio, la formación académica o la universitaria, la educación de la mirada, la crisis de la Historia del Arte, las fuentes, la historiografía y la literatura artística y, por último, el dedicado a proyectos, tesis y grupos de I+D+i) presentan una visión actualizada de algunas de las tendencias de la investigación en Historia del Arte.

El colegio de los verdes de la Universidad de Alcalá. Historia, Constituciones y Pedagogía (1586-1843)
Esta obra es, en esencia, el estudio institucional de una fundación de carácter universitario llevada a cabo en Alcalá de Henares, “ciudad del saber”, por una mujer, Catalina Suárez de Mendoza y Cisneros. Se trata de un acercamiento al Colegio Menor de Santa Catalina Mártir o de los Verdes de la Universidad de Alcalá, un colegio que tuvo presente a su fundadora durante cuatro siglos, siendo una de las pocas instituciones colegiales universitarias que sobrevivieron al cierre del Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso y al de la propia Universidad de Alcalá.La redacción de la obra se ha abordado desde distintas ópticas, histórica, biográfica, social, educativa, económica, legislativa, ...
Reinforced Concrete: Analysis and Design
This book covers the analysis and design of reinforced concrete elements in foundations and superstructures in a logical, step-by-step fashion. The theory of reinforced concrete and the derivation of the code formulae have been clearly explained. The text is backed up by numerous illustrations, design charts and tables referring frequently to the relevant codes of practice. A large number of worked examples cover almost all types of reinforced concrete elements. The step-by-step approach will ensure that all design requirements are logically adhered to, a standardized approach is established in a design office and that a simplified procedure for checking and for quality assurance can be implemented.
Information and Communication in Venice
A unique investigation of the political uses of different forms of communication - oral, manuscript, and printed - in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Venice. Today we take it for granted that communication and politics influence each other through spin-doctoring and media power. What, however, was the use of communication in an age when rulers recognized no political role for their subjects? And what access to political information did those excluded from government have? In answering these questions, Filippo de Vivo uses an extremely rich and diverse range of sources - from council debates to leaks and spies' reports, from printed pamphlets to graffiti and rumours. In the process, he demonstrates just how closely political communication was intertwined with the wider social and economic life of the city. Challenging the social and cultural boundaries of more traditional accounts, he shows how politics in early modern Venice extended far beyond the patrician elite to involve the entire population, from humble clerks and foreign spies, to notaries, artisans, barbers, and prostitutes.
Emotions in the History of Witchcraft
Bringing together leading historians, anthropologists, and religionists, this volume examines the unbridled passions of witchcraft from the Middle Ages to the present. Witchcraft is an intensely emotional crime, rooted in the belief that envy and spite can cause illness or even death. Witch-trials in turn are emotionally driven by the grief of alleged victims and by the fears of magistrates and demonologists. With examples ranging from Russia to New England, Germany to Cameroon, chapters cover the representation of emotional witches in demonology and art; the gendering of witchcraft as female envy or male rage; witchcraft as a form of bullying and witchcraft accusation as a form of therapy; love magic and demon-lovers; and the affective memorialization of the “Burning Times” among contemporary Pagan feminists. Wide-ranging and methodologically diverse, the book is appropriate for scholars of witchcraft, gender, and emotions; for graduate or undergraduate courses, and for the interested general reader.
Immobilization of Enzymes and Cells
This fourth edition volume expands on the previous editions with new insights on important aspects to take into accounting when immobilizing enzymes and cells, illustrating outstanding examples that support those aspects, and exploring ways to fabricate and characterize heterogeneous biocatalysts including both immobilized enzymes and cells. The transformation of soluble and usually instable enzymes into heterogeneous and highly stable biocatalysts is strongly emphasized. The chapters in this book cover topics such as the importance of enzyme orientation on the support surface; application and characterization of immobilized enzymes; different functionalization chemistries for the modulation...
