¿Cómo se formaron las altas cadenas montañosas sobre la faz de la Tierra? Esta pregunta ha intrigado a grandes fdósofos y científicos, desde los griegos. El diablo en la montaña es la historia de un científico y escritor, Simon Lamb, y su búsqueda de una respuesta a este misterio geológico. Lamb y un pequeño equipo de geólogos pasó buena parte de una década explorando los accidentados Andes bolivianos, la segunda cadena de montañas más alta de la Tierra: una región de frecuentes terremotos y erupciones volcánicas. El libro de Lamb es a la vez narración de viajes y relato detectivesco. De viaje por caminos perdidos, el equipo de geólogos tuvo que afrontar condiciones climáticas extremas y sobreponerse a los obstáculos de un país en conmoción. Pero el trasfondo de estas aventuras es una historia mayor, la de la Tierra y sus misterios. Le seguimos el rastro a los dinosaurios, por ejemplo, que nunca vieron los Andes pero que dejaron sus huellas en las costas de un vasto mar interior que cubría esta parte de Sudamérica hace sesenta y cinco millones de años, mucho antes de que las montañas existieran. Y aprendemos mucho: a encontrar ríos hace largo tiempo desaparecidos o cómo los continentes se tuercen y desintegran o de dónde vienen los volcanes. Al final de su viaje, Lamb y su equipo proponen pruebas extraordinarias no sólo de la fundamental inestabilidad de la superficie terrestre sino de inesperadas y profundas conexiones en el funcionamiento de nuestro planeta.

O presente livro surge como resultado do I Encontro Historical Soundscapes realizado em 2017 na Universidade de Évora e do arranque do Projeto PASEV: Patrimonialização da Paisagem Sonora em Évora (1540-1910), em 2019. Pretende constituir-se por isso como um contributo no que se refere à reflexão e disponibilização de estudos no quadro da Paisagem Sonora (Soundscapes, conceito criado por Raymond Murray Schafer em 1970), enquanto abordagem que tem vindo a ganhar cada vez mais expressão na musicologia internacional e que permite entender a música realizada numa determinada área a partir de uma perspetiva contextual abrangente, como é o caso da escala urbana. Esta abordagem permite reconstruir contextos, circuitos, trânsitos e cartografar a presença da música e dos músicos, entendendo a música como uma atividade social, política e económica e não meramente artística. Os desafios neste domínio vasto prendem-se com a abertura à interdisciplinaridade de abordagens, à diversidade de fontes, à capacidade de “imaginar” soluções para a reconstituição de um património sonoro efémero ou perdido no tempo. O livro não se centra em exclusivo na realidade histórica de Évora, embora se apresentem estudos significativos sobre a música sacra que refletem a vitalidade da investigação que continua a aprofundar o vasto património musical associado à Catedral eborense e à realidade monástico-conventual da cidade. O processo de valorização do Património musical desta cidade no século XX e através da ação do município, é também aqui abordado. Em relação a outras realidades urbanas, um dos grandes desafios continua a ser o estudo de procissões na perspetiva da Paisagem Sonora, sendo aqui abordados os casos de Castelo Branco e Valência. Apresentam-se também estudos que incidem sobre três cidades com abordagens distintas, Vila Viçosa a partir de uma única fonte documental (textos de J. J. R. Espanca), Braga a partir da análise de uma diversidade de fontes e de espaços na cidade (periódicos,…

The architectural culture of Spain in the last 20 years of boom and bust has been an important incubator for a paradigmatic shift of vision in the profession, a process in which the architecture of Iñaki Alday and Margarita Jover, with their firm aldayjover architecture and landscape, has played a pioneering role.Taken as a whole, aldayjover’s work demonstrates the importance of understanding architecture in all its facets, from building design to landscape and territorial planning, as a unified cultural and a technical discipline that is capable of addressing complex problems in holistic terms. During the years of the icon builders, the cultural dimension of architecture was seen chiefly as a question of individual creative expression, of a personal poetics or sensibility, which was invested in the built object as if it were a work of art. aldayjover’s role, in contrast, is comparable in certain respects to those contemporary artists who seek to disengage the creative process from its focus on the objecthood of art, and seek, in its place, to engage more directly with the vital substance of life and experience. aldayjover see architecture’s cultural dimension as a question that arises from the problem itself, and whose solution is found there as well. They discover the hitherto unconscious narrative histories of the site or the landscape, the hidden currents of its cultural formation, and bring them to the surface in new configurations. In their work, the continuity of architecture’s cultural dimension does not exclusively pass through the architect as an individual creator. Rather, they are highly-informed, thoroughly prepared and perceptive facilitators, like a wizards or a sage, if you will, who transform knowledge into action. And this, I think, is how architecture can once again prove its worth as a discipline capable of introducing positive changes in everyday life.

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.
