Este es un libro/manual que intenta enfocar el uso del detector de metales en lugares antiguos con un pasado histórico donde el hombre vivió por más tiempo, no es un libro técnico especializado en los detectores de metales, pero se expone una semblanza de las tecnologías modernas para la localización de los metales, reliquias, tesoros y riquezas perdidas. Ofrece una guía para encontrar metales enterrados usando una desconocida pero innovadora varilla de radiestesia llamada la "varilla vertical" desarrollada por el autor, misma que se sostiene con ambas manos, dando más sensibilidad que las varillas en "L" y el "péndulo" usados en la Radiestesia. Este además es un libro bilingüe, que intenta promover la historia y tecnología del detector de metales desarrollada en los Estados Unidos para transmitirla a los aficionados y buscadores de metales valiosos de habla hispana. This is a book / manual that attempts to focus the use of metal detector in old places with a past where men lived longer, not a technical book that specializes in metal detectors, but draws a portrait of the technologies modern location of metals, relics, treasures and lost riches. Provides a guide to find buried metals using an unknown but innovative dowsing rod called the "vertical rod" developed by the author, it is held with both hands, giving greater sensitivity than the rods in "L" and the "pendulum" used in Dowsing. This also is a bilingual book that seeks to promote the history and technology of metal detector developed in the United States of America to transmit to the fans and seekers of precious metals for speakers of Spanish.

This volume brings together work by authors who draw upon sociological and criminological methods, theory, and frameworks, to produce research that pushes boundaries, considers new questions, and reshape the existing understanding of "art crimes", with a strong emphasis on methodological innovation and novel theory application. Criminologists and sociologists are poorly represented in academic discourse on art and culture related crimes. However, to understand topics like theft, security, trafficking, forgery, vandalism, offender motivation, the efficacy of and results of policy interventions, and the effects art crimes have on communities, we must develop the theoretical and methodological models we use for analyses. The readership of this book is expected to include academics, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of criminology, sociology, law, and heritage studies who have an interest in art and heritage crime.

This massive three volume set publishes the proceedings of the 2006 Limes conference which was held in Leon, a total of 138 contributions.

A fascinating tour of particle physics from Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman. At the root of particle physics is an invincible sense of curiosity. Leon Lederman embraces this spirit of inquiry as he moves from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations to Einstein and beyond to chart this unique arm of scientific study. His survey concludes with the Higgs boson, nicknamed the God Particle, which scientists hypothesize will help unlock the last secrets of the subatomic universe, quarks and all--it's the dogged pursuit of this almost mystical entity that inspires Lederman's witty and accessible history.

Underwater Cultural Heritage investigates cases of underwater cultural heritage, exploring ethical issues that have never been studied before. A vast cultural heritage lies beneath the sea, including the archaeological remains of more than three million vessels, as well as historic monuments and whole cities. In addition, climate change, population growth and current events around the world mean that new underwater cultural heritage is being created faster than ever before. It is, therefore, essential that the ethical issues related to the management of such heritage are considered now, especially as decisions made now will bestow the heritage with a value and will establish legal frameworks that could be used either to protect or harm underwater heritage in the future. Considering a range of challenges related to underwater cultural heritage - including preservation, management, use, sustainability, valuation, politics, identity, human rights, and intangible heritage - the book presents case studies that both illustrate the key ethical issues and also offer possible solutions to help navigate such challenges. The book will also explore the various legislative instruments protecting underwater cultural heritage and emphasise the importance of revising and updating legal frameworks, whilst also taking into account ethical concerns that may expose cultural heritage to more serious menaces. Underwater Cultural Heritage draws on case studies from around the globe and, as such, should be of great interest to academics, researchers and students working in heritage studies, archaeology, history, politics and sustainability. It should also be appealing to heritage practitioners and policymakers who want to learn more about the issues surrounding not only management of underwater cultural heritage but management of cultural heritage in general.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
