In the Fifth Edition of the bestselling text Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches, John W. Creswell and Cheryl N. Poth guide researchers in selecting the best option for their studies by exploring, evaluating, and applying five qualitative research approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study.

If in this book harsh words are spoken about some of the greatest among the intellectual leaders of mankind, my motive is not, I hope, to belittle them. It springs rather from my conviction that, if our civilization is to survive, we must break with the habit of deference to great men.'- Karl Popper, from the PrefaceWritten in political exile during the Second World War and first published in two volumes in 1945, Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is one of the most influential books of all time.

The gleaming Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has put the Basque capital on the map of world cities and has exacerbated optimism among public officials worldwide about the role of spectacular architecture in urban renewal. This book - a theoretically-informed case study and a major synthesis of Bilbaos developments through the lens of globalization analyzes the Guggenheim project as the latest of Bilbaos globalization efforts, puts the project in the context of Bilbaos decades-long transformation and contends that Bilbaos positive economic performance since 1994 is not fundamentally due to the success of Frank Gehry's building, but rather to a complex array of causal processes that must be understood in the context of Bilbaos connections with the world economy and a changing world-system. The author argues that globalization processes in Bilbao are as old as the city itself and that the role of the State must be taken into account in order to explain the city's changing fortunes throughout the years. Globalization itself ought to be understood as a complex and variable network-like process with multiscalar nodes, an approach which is carefully theorized and empirically developed in this book. This is a volume in the "Current Research in Urban and Regional Studies Series". It takes into consideration Bilbao's social history and the complex relationships between local and global entities (regionalism v. state). It provides a socioeconomic analysis of the "Bilbao Effect".

La colección de mapas antiguos de Rodríguez Torres ? Ayuso, donada a la Real Academia de la Historia en 2016, constituye el grueso de la que, a lo largo de los años, fue recopilada por el barcelonés don Antonio Rodriguez Torres, catedratico de Microbiologia de la Universidad de Valladolid desde 1972 hasta su jubilacion, y miembro de la Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugia de dicha ciudad. La forman 321 mapas de España entre los siglos XV al XIX, fruto de su aficion a la cartografia historica, derivada de la busqueda de grabados y libros antiguos iniciada en los años 1963-65, cuando realizaba en Madrid sus estudios de Salud Publica. A partir de 1983, en que estudio al detalle las ediciones impresas de la Geographia o Cosmografia de Claudio Ptolomeo ?la primera de ellas en 1475? se oriento a la busqueda de mapas historicos de España, convirtiendose en un experto comprador de originales, en sus frecuentes visitas a las librerias de anticuarios especializadas, en España y en sus viajes al extranjero. Su progresivo conocimiento de la historia le permitio ampliar el interes a los diversos territorios que pertenecieron a la Monarquia de España o han estado historicamente bajo la soberania española, asi como a las ciudades y a diversos acontecimientos de nuestra historia. Objetivo especial para el eran los grabados en los que los mapas se adornan con dioses y heroes de la mitologia grecolatina, o con ilustraciones diversas (barcos, monstruos marinos?), guiado siempre por un criterio estetico altamente desarrollado. Estos dos tomos con sus 321 fichas nos permiten tener el privilegio de conocer tan excelsa coleccion, unica en España.
