The future of the asia-pacific in the new world order

This book is the result of a research work developedwithin the framework of the Chair of Strategic Studies of the European Institute of International Studies. During the last twenty years, the geopolitical transformation has been profound. Without a doubt, a historical cycle is ending and another one - of which almost everything is unknown and in which the forecastsare especially risky - is beginning. The emergence ofnew world economic powers has generated a multipolarcontext and has reordered the centers of power. In this ever-changing geopolitical landscape, the Asia-Pacifi c region acquires transcendental strategic importance as a consequence of its powerful economic exchange coupled with the re-emergence of China. This region, characterized among other things, by its heterogeneity, is interconnected by strong geopolitical, strategic, and economic interests. Reading the insights covered in this book should prove useful both to academics engaging in geopolitical stud

The Crucible

This Student Edition of The Crucible is perfect for students of literature and drama and offers an unrivalled guide to Miller's classic play. It features an extensive introduction by Susan C. W. Abbotson which includes: a chronology of Miller's life and times, a summary of the plot and commentary on the characters, themes, language, context and production history of the play. Together with over twenty questions for further study, detailed notes on words and phrases from the text and the additional scene 2 of the second Act, this is the definitive edition of the play. In a small tight-knit community gossip and rumour spread like wildfire inflaming personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and vengeance. The Crucible is Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the play opened on Broadway in 1953.

Murillo's True Portrait of the Holy King Ferdinand III in Context

In April 1671 Seville’s most celebrated artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) was permitted to open the tomb of the uncorrupted body of the medieval king, Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon (1201–1252). After coming face to face with it, Murillo’s aim was to paint his ‘true portrait’ and support the campaign for the canonization of the conqueror of the kingdoms of Jaén, Córdoba and Seville, nearly 420 years after his death. This study focuses on the painter’s ‘true portrait’ that re-emerged in Bishop Auckland in 2020 after a century of obscurity in private collections. This book investigates what might have influenced Murillo’s portrait of Ferdinand III and other known versions of it, placing them in their artistic, religious and political contexts. It asks how Murillo’s visualisations contrasted with other contemporaneous artistic and literary depictions of the king. It also assesses the impact of Murillo’s portrait on later artists, copyists and writers through to nineteenth-century Seville, Madrid and Latin America, and explores how the imagery of the saint-king intertwined with images of other ‘warrior’ saints associated with Christian expansionism in medieval Iberia.

The Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement is a plural, intergenerational association, made up of different types of professionals (although teachers predominate), interregional, and also international, as it includes colleagues from national sections of the International European Movement: Virgilio Dastoli, President of the Italian European Movement, and Yves Bertoncini, Former President of the French European Movement, among others. Finally, it should be noted that the articles featured include illustrious figures in European politics, who have held positions of high responsibility, such as Enrique Barón, President of the European Parliament (1989-1992) and President of the International European Movement (1987-1989), José María Gil-Robles, President of the European Parliament (1997- 1999) and President of the International European Movement (1999-2005), and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (2019-present).

Transforming the 19th Century Philippines

When the Spanish empire lost the greater part of its American territories in the early nineteenth century, the Spanish government was forced to reformulate the colonial policies applied in the Philippines, updating and adjusting them constantly throughout the remainder of the century, until they arrived at the process of reform and modernization of the last third of the nineteenth century, with its lights and shadows. This volume looks at the successes and failures of this process of transformation of the Spanish Administration in the nineteenth-century Philippines. In this volume Filipino, Spanish and specialists from other countries collaborate to jointly consider, from innovative perspectives, alternative viewpoints, and rigorous archival sources, the scope and significance of the reforms and the process of modernization undertaken in the Philippines in the last decades of the 19th century.

The Trade Relations of the European Union with the rest of the World (Papel + e-book)

The objective of this book is to analyse the EU's trade relations with the rest of the world, in the framework of its trade policy and the main agreements signed with other countries and economic blocs, at a time marked by a pandemic that refuses to disappear completely and, in particular, by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine have caused unprecedented disruption to global markets and supply chains, highlighting the importance of open trade in maintaining the trade flow that has existed up to that point. In the face of this situation, exacerbated by rising energy prices and shortages of raw materials, the EU's extensive network of trade agreements now in place is undoubtedly an important asset in keeping markets open and diversifying supply chains. Twenty-five experts, professors and lecturers from eleven Spanish and three foreign universities take part in this book, which provides an in-depth analysis of the EU's trade relations with the rest of the world, without ignoring other areas of bilateral relations.

Gaetano Pesce

The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce’s incomparable life and career, as told in the artist-designer’s own words In a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce’s singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste. Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce’s unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible. In this long overdue summary co-published with Salon 94, Pesce looks back at his incomparable and wildly inventive career, recounting his life and practice in his own words.

Monet

Prince of the Impressionists. Capturing the ever-changing face of reality. Hailed the “Prince of the Impressionists”, Claude Monet (1840-1926) transformed expectations for the purpose of paint on canvas. Defying the precedent of centuries, Monet did not seek to render only reality, but the act of perception itself. Working “en plein air” with rapid, impetuous brush strokes, he interrogated the play of light on the hues, patterns, and contours and the way in which these visual impressions fall upon the eye. Monet's interest in this space “between the motif and the artist” encompassed too the ephemeral nature of each image we see. In his beloved water lily series, as well as in paintings of poplars, grain stacks, and the Rouen cathedral, he returned to the same motif in different seasons, different weather conditions, and at different times of the day, to explore the constant mutability of our visual environment. This book offers the essential introduction to an artist whose works simultaneously reflected upon the purpose of a picture and the passage of time, and in so doing transformed irrevocably the story of art.

Guided error correction

Exercises for Spanish-speaking students of English This book is the result of years of experience teaching English to Spanish undergraduates studying for a degree in English Language and Literature. The focus of the book reflects the assumption that a large majority of the mistakes made by advanced-level learners are the result of interference from their native language. The approach adopted in this book is based on the idea that correcting one’s own mistakes involves two separate operations, namely, first recognising the error as such and then providing the correction for it. In the first two thirds of the book, errors are explicitly identified for the learner, whose task is simply to correct the errors. In the final third, however, learners must carry out both operations. It is this two-step approach that the term “guided error correction” tries to reflect. In order to provide sufficient practice, each of the errors –all characteristic of Spanish-speakers learning English– occurs on six separate occasions in the book. In addition, the book includes a section of brief explanatory notes at the back of the book where each of the errors is explained, with Spanish translations provided to enhance comprehension of nuances in meaning. These notes are cross-referenced with each error in the exercises for handy referral, but at the same time represent in themselves a compact reference source for common errors. This book will be useful for upper intermediate to advanced-level Spanish-speaking learners of English in any context, though it has been designed primarily not for systematic consecutive classroom use but rather as a series of self-correcting one-page exercises that can be pursued sporadically at the learner’s convenience. This book is part of a series of three books. Michael Kennedy-Scanlon has an MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language from the School for International Training in Vermont, USA.

Guided error correction. Level B2. Exercices

This book is the result of years of experience teaching English to Spanish undergraduates studying for a degree in English Language and Literature. The focus of the book reflects the assumption that a large majority of the mistakes made by advanced-level learners are the result of interference from their native language. The approach adopted in this book is based on the idea that correcting oneÆs own mistakes involves two separate operations, namely, first recognising the error as such and then providing the correction for it. In the first two thirds of the book, errors are explicitly identified for the learner, whose task is simply to correct the errors. In the final third, however, learners must carry out both operations. It is this two-step approach that the term guided error correction tries to reflect. In order to provide sufficient practice, each of the errors -all characteristic of Spanish-speakers learning English- occurs on six separate occasions in the book. In addition, the book includes a section of brief explanatory notes at the back of the book where each of the errors is explained, with Spanish translations provided to enhance comprehension of nuances in meaning. These notes are cross-referenced with each error in the exercises for handy referral, but at the same time represent in themselves a compact reference source for common errors. This book will be useful for upper intermediate to advanced-level Spanish-speaking learners of English in any context, though it has been designed primarily not for systematic consecutive classroom use but rather as a series of self-correcting one-page exercises that can be pursued sporadically at the learnerÆs convenience. This book is part of a series of three books. Michael Kennedy-Scanlon has an MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language from the School for International Training in Vermont, USA. Since coming to Spain in 1981, he has taught English for the Health Sciences, English for Professional Purposes, and Intercultural Communication in a variety of university contexts.

Uncovering past spaces

A guidance for documenting, studying an publishing architectural remains in archaeology. Architects have been instrumental in developing the methods and standards for documenting, studying and publishing architectural remains in archaeology. At many sites, their reconstruction drawings shape our understanding of destroyed monuments. Architects often play a leading role in the restoration and reconstruction of buildings. In many countries they also direct archaeological field projects. In this introduction to archaeological building research, the questions, methods, techniques and possible results of the work of architects in archaeology are presented, based on the work of the internationally active German Archaeological Institute. Emphasis is placed on the importance of drawings in documenting observations made in the field, as well as on methods of reconstruction and architectural analysis of building remains. The aim is to introduce architects and students of architecture to a special field of work, and to give experts from other disciplines an insight into the research questions and methodology of architects and their potential contribution to archaeology and cultural history.

Beginning drawing atelier

Written by a well-known artist and best-selling art-instruction author with almost rock-star popularity in the contemporary world of representational art, Beginning Drawing Atelier, with its unique workbook/sketchbook approach, and high-quality paper, offers a comprehensive and contemporary twist on traditional Atelier art instruction practices. Atelier education is centered on the belief that working in a studio, not sitting in the lecture hall, is the best place to learn about art. Every artist needs to learn basic drawing skills. In this elegant and inspiring workbook, master contemporary artist and best selling author Juliette Aristides breaks down the drawing process into small, manageable lessons, presents them progressively, introduces time-tested principles and techniques in the Atelier tradition that are easily accessible, and shares the language and context necessary to understand the artistic process and create superior, well-crafted drawings. What makes this approach unique is the fact that it includes blank pages for copying and practicing within each lesson, facilitating traditional Atelier methods. Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time--and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, in a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. Beginning Drawing Atelier is like having an atelier in a book - and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today's most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, the approach in this new book offers serious art courses for serious art students.

Catalan wine landscapes

In Catalonia for over 2,000 years vines have been cultivated to produce wine. Rome particularly appreciated those produced in Tarragona and Alella. And vines were planted almost everywhere, even in the Pyrenees, before the phylloxera plague spread from this mountain range in 1879 and ravaged thousands of hectares of vineyards. Later, the geography of wine changed with the introduction of new varieties and techniques. A precise control of viticulture and fermentation has made Catalan vines among the most appreciated in the world.

Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights

In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened. A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors-the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived. The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.

Art and Illusion

Described by Kenneth Clark as 'one of the most brilliant books of art criticism that I have ever read', Art and Illusion is a classic study of image-making. It seeks to answer a simple question: why is there such a thing as style? The question may be simple but there is no easy answer, and Professor Gombrich's brilliant and wide-ranging exploration of the history and psychology of pictorial representation leads him into countless crucial areas. Gombrich examines, questions and re-evaluates old and new ideas on such matters as the imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the problem of abstraction, the validity of perspective and the interpretation of expression: all of which reveal that pictorial representation is far from being a straightforward matter. First published more than 40 years ago, Art and Illusion has lost none of its vitality and importance. In applying the findings of experimental science to a nuanced understanding of art and in tackling complex ideas and theoretical issues, Gombrich is rigorous. Yet he always retains a sense of wonder at the inexhaustible capacity of the human brain, and at the subtlety of the relationships involved in seeing the world and in making and seeing art. With profound knowledge and his exceptional gift for clear exposition, he advances each argument as an hypothesis to be tested. The problems of representation are forever fundamental to the history of art: Art and Illusion remains an essential text for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of art. For the sixth edition Professor Gombrich has written an entirely new 12-page preface, in which he makes use of the distinction between an image and a sign, so as to clarify his intentions in writing the book in the first place.

50 art movements you should know

Filled with stunning reproductions of some of the world's greatest masterpieces, this reference book offers a chronological journey through artistic revolutions. Each movement is presented in a series of informative presentations-a concise definition and description, full-page and smaller detailed color illustrations, and in-depth profiles of the artists crucial to the style's development.

Poets of Madrid

Versión en inglés de POETAS DE MADRID, con Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Quevedo, Valle-Inclán y Rubén Darío This is Madrid. Madrid. Homeric city, the cradle and grave of many of us that pour out the joyful days of youth among its streets and wineries, throughout its history it has accepted into its fold non-conforming poets from the four corners of the earth, because one is born a poet in his land, but one is made and perishes in Madrid. No matter where you are from, Madrid never leaves you indifferent, it always offers the rhapsodist who has moved to the capital in search of fortune, a lively space about which to write their verses. If our lives are the rivers as Manrique said, today the Manzanares river has been reborn and is full of life. Poets of Madrid is a generous title, as is Madrid. This anthology shows that the city drew them in from very distant places: Rubén Darío, for example, was born in Nicaragua, Valle-Inclán in Galicia, Góngora was Andalusian, Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares, thirty kilometres from Madrid, only Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega were true Madrid natives. With this, we are trying to say that the presence of Rubén Darío in the anthology represents the percentage of the Hispanic American population who, proud of the city that embraces them, carries the same language in their voices, Góngora and Valle-Inclán, that of the surrounding areas, Cervantes, that of the city's close neighbours, and Lope and Quevedo, that of those born in Madrid. Because those us of from other parts of the globe were attracted to this city, which is no longer a Manchegan dump, for its courtesy and its lack of rejection, as a place known for its cosmopolitanism should be.
