Geografía Peter Haggett Este libro es un intento de presentar el espectro total de la geografía en un contexto moderno. Trata de sintetizar a dos niveles: el primero, mediante la unión de las distintas tradiciones y temas que componen dicha especialidad y, el segundo, acentuando el papel sintetizador que desempeña la geografia como un todo en relacion a otras especialidades colindantes. A traves de la fisica, y de las ciencias sociales, la geografia plantea un desafio a los alumnos para que abandonen las posiciones familiares y comodas y se centren en las relaciones entre los seres humanos y su medio ambiente.

Esta obra está basada en el Diccionario geográfico-histórico-estadístico de España y sus provincias de Ultramar de Pascual Madoz, también conocido como el Diccionario de Madoz, o más aún, "el Madoz", publicado en 16 volumenes, entre 1845 y 1850. Lo que pretende esta publicacion es ampliar y completar la unica edicion realizada hasta ahora que recogia todos las voces del Diccionario de Madoz concernientes al territorio de la provincia de Madrid. Ademas de un estudio introductorio, contiene los mapas y planos del Atlas de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar de Francisco Coello, correspondientes a la provincia y, finalmente, un indice toponimico detallado y adaptado a la division administrativa actual que facilitara considerablemente su consulta. Esta edicion se acompaña de algunas ilustraciones cartograficas extraidas de la segunda edicion de la hoja de la provincia de Madrid del Atlas de España y su provincia de Ultramar. Se incluye un CD rom con cartografia de Francisco Coello: reproducciones del mapa de la provincia de Madrid, el detalle de un sector noroeste del mismo y el plano de la Villa de Madrid, con las explicaciones complementarias redactadas por el propio Madoz"

Through eight successful editions, and over nearly 40 years, Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the varied scientific disciplines and research that are essential to understanding the subject. The text has been praised for its solid background in historical biogeography and basic biology, that is enhanced and illuminated by discussions of current research. This new edition incorporates the exciting changes of the recent years, and presents a thoughtful exploration of the research and controversies that have transformed our understanding of the biogeography of the world. It also clearly identifies the three quite different arenas of biogeographical research: continental biogeography, island biogeography and marine biogeography. It is the only current textbook with full coverage of marine biogeography. It reveals how the patterns of life that we see today have been created by the two great Engines of the Planet - the Geological Engine, plate tectonics, which alters the conditions of life on the planet, and the Biological Engine, evolution, which responds to these changes by creating new forms and patterns of life.
