El fútbol es el deporte más popular del mundo, pero no es sólo un juego, es un hecho social que levanta pasiones y un fenómeno político, económico, cultural, solidario y educativo, cuya influencia se siente en múltiples ámbitos. En Vigo, cuando el Celta gana, los profesionales rinden más en su trabajo; si el Club Atlético Osasuna pierde, se nota una bajada de la productividad en la planta de Volkswagen en Pamplona; varios estudios concluyen que el número de días de huelga en Fiat está relacionado con los resultados que consiga la Juve. Con esta interesante obra, repleta de anécdotas, personajes y datos, disfrutarás aún más con el deporte rey y aprenderás por qué en muchas zonas del planeta el fútbol es una forma de vida

Strangers Within

The Rise and Fall of the New Christian Trading Elite

By: Francisco Bethencourt

A comprehensive study of the New Christian elite of Jewish origin—prominent traders, merchants, bankers and men of letters—between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries In Strangers Within, Francisco Bethencourt provides the first comprehensive history of New Christians, the descendants of Jews forced to convert to Catholicism in late medieval Spain and Portugal. Bethencourt estimates that there were around 260,000 New Christians by 1500—more than half of Iberia’s urban population. The majority stayed in Iberia but a significant number moved throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East, coastal Asia and the New World. They established Sephardic communities in North Africa, the Ottoman Empire, Italy, Amsterdam, Hamburg and London. Bethencourt focuses on the elite of bankers, financiers and merchants from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries and the crucial role of this group in global trade and financial services. He analyses their impact on religion (for example, Teresa de Ávila), legal and political thought (Las Casas), science (Amatus Lusitanus), philosophy (Spinoza) and literature (Enríquez Gomez). Drawing on groundbreaking research in eighteen archives and library manuscript departments in six different countries, Bethencourt argues that the liminal position in which the New Christians found themselves explains their rise, economic prowess and cultural innovation. The New Christians created the first coherent legal case against the discrimination of a minority singled out for systematic judicial inquiry. Cumulative inquisitorial prosecution, coupled with structural changes in international trade, led to their decline and disappearance as a recognizable ethnicity by the mid-eighteenth century. Strangers Within tells an epic story of persecution, resistance and the making of Iberia through the oppression of one of the most powerful minorities in world history. Packed with genealogical information about families, their intercontinental networks, their power and their suffering, it is a landmark study.

La esclava del Negro Ponto

By: Luciano Francisco de Comella

La esclava del Negro Ponto es una obra dramática escrita por Luciano Francisco de Comella, un autor español que vivió entre los siglos XVIII-XIX, conocido por sus dramas y comedias. La trama de esta obra particular se ubica en una isla del Negro Ponto, un término que se refiere al Mar Negro en la antigüedad. La isla, en el contexto de la obra, es representada como un antiguo emporio cristiano que ha sido ocupado por una versión islamizada de Constantinopla. Este escenario proporciona una viva representación de la tensión y conflicto cultural y religioso que existía durante el período en que la obra fue escrita. Los personajes de la obra son cristianos y musulmanes, y el drama que se desarrolla entre ellos ilustra las dificultades y luchas asociadas con la convivencia entre estas dos culturas y religiones en un entorno de ocupación. Comella, a través de su obra, no sólo busca entretener a su audiencia, sino que también utiliza el drama para explorar temas serios y relevantes de su época. Las luchas de poder, los conflictos religiosos y la tensión cultural que se presentan en La esclava del Negro Ponto reflejan los desafíos reales que enfrentaban muchas sociedades en este período de la historia.

Green Extraction and Valorization of By-Products from Food Processing

By: Francisco J. Barba,Elena Rosello Soto,Mladen Brncic,Jose Manuel Lorenzo Rodriquez

Generating of agricultural wastes and by-products during the production, processing and consumption of agricultural commodities is unavoidable and over the last decades, an increased public interest has been shown in the challenge of food wastage. Apart from its significant quantities, the physicochemical characteristics of the various agricultural waste and by-products denote that there is immense potential for their reuse, recycle, and valorisation through various different processes. Green Extraction and Valorization of By-Products from Food Processing provides an overview about the valorization or reuse of agricultural wastes and by-products during the production, processing and consumption of agricultural commodities. Waste disposal and by-product management in food processing industry pose problems in the areas of environmental protection and sustainability. However, they could be a great source of valuable nutraceuticals, which can be used to deal with the prospects of feeding fast growing population in 21st century. Features: Gives detailed guidance and presents case-studies about valorization of food wastes and by-products Shows the main conventional and innovative extraction techniques for food waste and by-products valorization Provides an estimated idea regarding the recovery of high-added value compounds Discusses the recovery of high-added value compounds Perspectives originated from the enormous amounts of food related materials that are discharged worldwide and the existing technologies, which promise the recovery, recycling and sustainability of high-added value ingredients inside food chain will be discussed in this book. This book is of value to academics, research institutes, and food industry engineers particularly the research and development professionals who are looking for effective management and utilization of food processing wastes and byproducts. In addition, it is suitable for undergraduate, post- graduate students, research scholars, postdoctoral fellows and faculty members from universities and colleges who pursue academic careers in Food Technology, Food Biotechnology, Fermentation and Bioengineering, Bioprocess Technology, Food science and Technology.

A Memorandum for the President of the Royal Audiencia and Chancery Court of the City and Kingdom of Granada

By: Francisco Núñez Muley

Conquered in 1492 and colonized by invading Castilians, the city and kingdom of Granada faced radical changes imposed by its occupiers throughout the first half of the sixteenth century—including the forced conversion of its native Muslim population. Written by Francisco Núñez Muley, one of many coerced Christian converts, this extraordinary letter lodges a clear-sighted, impassioned protest against the unreasonable and strongly assimilationist laws that required all converted Muslims in Granada to dress, speak, eat, marry, celebrate festivals, and be buried exactly as the Castilian settler population did. Now available in its first English translation, Núñez Muley’s account is an invaluable example of how Spain’s former Muslims made active use of the written word to challenge and openly resist the progressively intolerant policies of the Spanish Crown. Timely and resonant—given current debates concerning Islam, minorities, and cultural and linguistic assimilation—this edition provides scholars in a range of fields with a vivid and early example of resistance in the face of oppression.
