La profecía de Al-Ándalus se ha mantenido oculta durante siglos. Ya se acerca el tiempo para que ésta se cumpla. El Santón del Sacromonte predijo lo que estaba por suceder en el futuro, y se lo desveló a Al-Hamar, primer sultán nazarí de Al-Ándalus. Además de la profecía, el Santón reveló al sultán el paradero de otros grandes secretos; los tesoros y la sabiduría que el hombre ha perseguido desde el principio de los tiempos. Alfonso X el Sabio, y siglos después, la Reina Isabel la Católica y Boabdil, el último regente andalusí, fueron los herederos de esta sabiduría y entrelazaron sus destinos en esta historia. La codicia, la venganza, la obsesión y la pasión de estos personajes trazan la crónica de unos tiempos inciertos y sangrientos, persiguiendo el poder desde los campos de batalla, hasta las majestuosas estancias del más hermoso de los palacios, la Alhambra.

É lugar-comum pensar que a literatura clássica greco-romana é abundante em homoerotismo, e sabemos como a leitura dos clássicos influenciou pensadores e escritores dos séculos XIX e XX como Havelock Ellis, Oscar Wilde, J. A Symmonds, E. M. Forster, Edward Carpenter, Walt Whitman, Fernando Pessoa ou outros. Mas será mesmo assim?
Carlos Miguel de Mora sugere os critérios pelos quais se poderá julgar o que seria uma sexualidade socialmente aceitável na Roma Antiga, permitindo, assim, compreender o que seria o homoerotismo: a "transgressão" à norma, do ponto de vista do pensamento romano.
Os resultados são surpreendentes! Alguns tabus sexuais modernos seriam pura e simplesmente inexistentes ou incompreensíveis no mundo latino; outros, como aquilo a que hoje chamamos "sexo homossexual", seria considerado perfeitamente normal e socialmente aceite em certas situações da antiguidade clássica, como neste exemplo que o autor refere: "Com efeito, (...) os escravos não são mais que objetos, e, tendo em conta o que custavam, que o dono não os penetrasse era para os romanos tão absurdo como seria para nós comprar um Mercedes e deixá-lo na garagem sem o utilizar." A leitura deste esclarecedor texto obriga-nos a refletir sobre os nossos preconceitos relacionados com a sexualidade: muitos dos aspetos da sexualidade "normal" da Roma Antiga são "imorais" nos nossos dias. Muita da sexualidade "proibida" hoje seria considerada natural no mundo latino. Assim sendo, o que muitos hoje proíbem ou condenam por contrariar o que é "natural", ou determinado pela Natureza, e logo imutável, parece afinal não ser mais que uma característica cultural da nossa sociedade contemporânea, e muitos dos textos literários catalogados atualmente como "literatura homoerótica latina" não se enquadram, de facto, nesta definição!

Geophysical and geotechnical methods for diagnosing flood protection dikes
Patrice Mériaux
- Quae
- 18 June 2007
- 9782759200351
This book presents a three-phase methodology for the efficient diagnosis of «dry dikes» (i.e. dykes built above normal water levels of the rivers that provide protection at time of flood). Although the principles of the method described herein were developed on dikes in France, they may be applied with confidence in other countries around the world. Phase one of the methodology involves gathering as much information as possible about the dike so as to ensure the high quality of the final diagnosis. The main aim of the second phase - the geophysical survey - is to divide up the dike into zones in order to identify sections of the structure that are vulnerable to irreversible damage during a flood. The third phase - the geotechnical investigation - consists of various tests and drillings that ascertain in situ the principal mechanical characteristics of the materials that make up the structure.
This guide is invaluable for anyone involved in dike safety; notably owners, managers, engineers and contractors, and provides all the information required for effective dike diagnosis and for initiating more extensive work or more detailed study.
Cyrille Fauchard is a researcher who specialises in the application of electromagnetism to civil engineering. He heads a research team that works with the Public Works Regional Engineering Office (CETE) in Rouen, France on the dielectric and non-destructive characterisation of subsurface and civil engineering materials.
Patrice Mériaux is a research engineer in civil engineering and an expert in dam and dike safety. As head of the « Hydraulics engineering and hydrology » research unit at Cemagref in Aix-en-Provence, France, his work has focused on developing and enhancing diagnostic methods for earth dams and dikes.

Diario apócrifo del gran poeta y dramaturgo granadino, Federico García Lorca. El lector se acercará a gran cantidad de datos fidedignos sobre los últimos años de la existencia del poeta. Conocerá cuadros y situaciones poco tratadas sobre la vida y viajes del autor español. Aunque un gran misterio se cierne sobre este extraño diario; muchos años ha permanecido oculto, y ahora surge a la luz a través de las manos delicadas de una mujer, que amó al poeta y a su obra con toda su alma.

Situated at the confluence of four climatic zones, oceanic, continental, Mediterranean and montane, metropolitan France includes the northern, southern or altitudinal margins of a large number of tree and pathogen species. French forests therefore offer a diversity of species and management options representative of temperate and Mediterranean European forests. This context is unique for analysing and simulating the effects of climate change on forests at the regional and subregional scales. The results presented in this book summarize the main findings of the CARBOFOR project, which brought together 52 scientists from 14 research units (INRA, CNRS, CEA, Météo-France, Universities of Paris-Sud and Orléans, IFN, CIRAD) to investigate the effects of future climate on the carbon cycle and the productivity and vulnerability of French forests.
Forests, Carbon Cycle and Climate Change explains the current forest carbon cycle in temperate and Mediterranean climates, including the dynamics of soil carbon and the total carbon stock of French forests, based on forest inventories.
It reviews and illustrates the main ground-based methods for estimating carbon stocks in tree biomass. Spatial variations in projected climate change over metropolitan France throughout the 21st century are described. The book then goes on to consider the impacts of climate change on tree phenology and forest carbon balance, evapotranspiration and production as well as their first order interaction with forest management alternatives.
The impact of climate change on forest vulnerability is analysed and shows how the climate envelopes and geographical distribution of France´s main tree species will be affected by climate change. A similar simulation study was carried out for a range of pathogenic fungi, emphasizing the importance of both warming and precipitation changes. The consequences of climate change on the occurrence of forest fires and the forest carbon cycle in the Mediterranean zone are also considered.
This book is a valuable reference for researchers and academics, forest engineers and managers, and graduate level students in forest ecology, ecological modelling and forestry.

Introduction to lattice geometry through group action
Louis Michel, Boris Zhilinskii
- Edp sciences
- 30 June 2016
- 9782759819522
Group action analysis developed and applied mainly by Louis Michel to the study of N-dimensional periodic lattices is the central subject of the book. Different basic mathematical tools currently used for the description of lattice geometry are introduced and illustrated through applications to crystal structures in two- and three-dimensional space, to abstract multi-dimensional lattices and to lattices associated with integrable dynamical systems. Starting from general Delone sets the authors turn to different symmetry and topological classifications including explicit construction of orbifolds for two- and three-dimensional point and space groups. Voronoï and Delone cells together with positive quadratic forms and lattice description by root systems are introduced to demonstrate alternative approaches to lattice geometry study. Zonotopes and zonohedral families of 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-dimensional lattices are explicitly visualized using graph theory approach. Along with crystallographic applications, qualitative features of lattices of quantum states appearing for quantum problems associated with classical Hamiltonian integrable dynamical systems are shortly discussed. The presentation of the material is presented through a number of concrete examples with an extensive use of graphical visualization. The book is aimed at graduated and post-graduate students and young researchers in theoretical physics, dynamical systems, applied mathematics, solid state physics, crystallography, molecular physics, theoretical chemistry, ...
