El prestigio de Marcel Bataillon no proviene únicamente de los trabajos publicados por él mismo, sino también de las investigaciones que dirigió o inspiró. Una primera estancia en la Escuela de Altos Estudios Hispánicos, en 1916, le permite vislumbrar y esbozar lo que con el tiempo se convertiría en su vocación científica: el humanismo, enfocado primero como una investigación sobre el helenismo en España, tema que posteriormente amplió al conjunto de movimientos intelectuales, culturales y espirituales del siglo XVI. Marcel Bataillon no se dejó encerrar en una limitada especialización. Su curiosidad intelectual llegó a abarcar casi todos los sectores del hispanismo. Destacan en su obra tres orientaciones privilegiadas: la literatura española del siglo XVI, la historia espiritual de España y los debates suscitados por la conquista y colonización del Nuevo Mundo. Las contribuciones al homenaje que la Casa de Velázques le rindió con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento se organizan alrededor de estas tres direcciones. Los autores -todos ellos discípulos de Marcel Bataillon- dan testimonio, a través de los estudios publicados en esta obra, de la fecundidad de las pistas abiertas por el maestro.

Russia first encountered Alaska in 1741 as part of the most ambitious and expensive expedition of the entire eighteenth century. For centuries since, cartographers have struggled to define and develop the enormous region comprising northeastern Asia, the North Pacific, and Alaska. The forces of nature and the follies of human error conspired to make the area incredibly difficult to map. Exploring and Mapping Alaska focuses on this foundational period in Arctic cartography. Russia spurred a golden era of cartographic exploration, while shrouding their efforts in a veil of secrecy. They drew both on old systems developed by early fur traders and new methodologies created in Europe. With Great Britain, France, and Spain following close behind, their expeditions led to an astounding increase in the world's knowledge of North America. Through engrossing descriptions of the explorations and expert navigators, aided by informative illustrations, readers can clearly trace the evolution of the maps of the era, watching as a once-mysterious region came into sharper focus. The result of years of cross-continental research, Exploring and Mapping Alaska is a fascinating study of the trials and triumphs of one of the last great eras of historic mapmaking.

"In Imagination and Science in Romanticism, Richard Sha challenges the idea that the imagination could only be applied to the literary and that its primary role was to transcend scientific concerns. Sha shows how the imagination functioned within physics and chemistry in Prometheus Unbound, neurology in Blake's Four Zoas, physiology in Coleridge's Biographia Literaria, and obstetrics and embryology in Frankenstein. Sha also shows how the imagination was used in the scientific community, highlighting as primary examples the work of Davy, Faraday, Priestley, Kant, Mary Somerville, Oersted, Marcet, Swedenborg, Blumenbach, Buffon, Erasmus Darwin, and Von Baer, among others. Both fields profited from thinking about how the imagination could cooperate with reason and how hypotheses that had the possibility of actuality could benefit their work" --
