Die Frage, ob es draußen im weiten Weltall wohl eine ›Zweite Erde‹ geben könnte, die unserer ähnelt und vielleicht sogar Bewohner beherbergt, hat die Menschheit von alters her umgetrieben. Beispielsweise glaubten griechische Philosophen der Antike an eine Bewohnbarkeit des Mondes – eine Vorstellung, die auch Jahrhunderte später noch aktuell war, wie Jules Vernes Roman »Reise um den Mond« zeigte. Spätestens die erste Mondlandung der Apollo...

La arqueología industrial es una metodología que permite profundizar en el conocimiento de la sociedad industrial-capitalista a partir de los restos materiales conservados, igual que la arqueología tradicional lo hace para períodos históricos más remotos.

The Sea Coast shows in a persuasive and compelling way the origin and evolution of cliffs, estuaries, sea marshes, sand dunes and the communities of plants and animals that they support. Britain's coasts have everything, from towering cliffs rising sheer from deep water to a thousand feet and more, to miles of tidal slobs and flats, restless shingle spits, shifting beaches, immobile rock headlands.

Michigans Upper Peninsula is one of Americas hidden treasures. Overlooked and ignored as a place to visit compared, say, to Vermont or coastal Maine.

Mondialisation aidant, l'ancrage territorial des collectivités humaines est en constante mouvance, et de nouveaux équilibres (ou déséquilibres) se créent à l'échelle tant régionale que mondiale. Le monde est ainsi tout sauf homogène, d'o l'importance de l'approche géographique pour comprendre les changements qui l'affectent. Cet ouvrage passe en revue les...

El territorio ha recobrado un nuevo protagonismo. Ahora, afortunadamente, es mucho más que un mero soporte físico o contenedor de actividades. El territorio es entendido como recurso, patrimonio, referente identitario, paisaje cultural, bien público o espacio de solidaridad. Pero los cambios son de tal envergadura que desconocemos la magnitud de sus impactos a medio plazo. Interrogantes, desafíos, amenazas y oportunidades que obligan a afrontar...
