La Roma de los siglos I y II experimentó una fiebre constructiva que nos obsequió con maravillas como el Coliseo, el Panteón, los foros imperiales o la columna de Trajano. Descubre todos los secretos de esta época de grandeza arquitectónica que situó su urbanismo a la altura de lo que merecía la capital del mayor imperio del mundo antiguo.

La historia demuestra que ejercer el poder desde el trono nunca ha sido sencillo. Y aún más difícil lo han tenido las mujeres que, desde la Antigüedad, han accedido a él. Todas las reinas reunidas en este volumen han pasado a la posteridad porque demostraron más audacia, diplomacia e inteligencia que muchos de los hombres que estuvieron en su misma posición.

A guide divided into two different parts: introduction to the concepts of tension and deformation, and the different characteristic problems of material strength. Students will find a well-selected help and an original treatment to usual questions, necessary for their formation.

This volume covers the advances in the organometallic chemistry of nickel, palladium and platinum since publication of COMC in 1982. Major applications of the organometallic compounds of the nickel group are in catalytic and stoichiometric organic synthesis and in materials synthesis. This volume covers the fundamental organometallic chemistry which underpins these applications. The level of sophistication in many areas has increased substantially since COMC, for example in the development of chiral organometallics for use in synthesis, in the synthesis and characterization of larger cluster...

Biographies and bibliographies of members are included in many of the volumes. Lists of members are usually given on covers of the numbers.

The Smart Neanderthal casts a new light on the Neanderthals and the "Cognitive Revolution". Finlayson argues that there was no revolution and, instead, modern behavior arose gradually and independently among different populations of Modern Humans and Neanderthals, raising questions about who we really are.
