Resumen: En el presente artículo nos abocaremos al estudio de las relaciones cristiano- judías en Castilla entre los siglos X y XIII a partir del análisis de la legislación castellana contenida en cartas pueblas, fueros, ordenanzas, Partidas y otros tantos instrumentos jurídico legales. ; Abstract: In this article we will approach the study of Christian-Jewish relations in Castile between the tenth and thirteenth centuries from the analysis of the Spanish legislation contained in Cartas Pueblas, charters, ordinances, Partidas and other legal instruments.

AbstractThis article explores what the diversification of British political history might look like. Building on an expanded definition of citizenship and attention to 'ordinary' politics, it suggests several questions which might diversify political history's content and approach. Whom do we count as political actors? Who has access to democratic processes and where does politics happen beyond these processes? To what forms of political thought do we attend? Drawing on examples from my own research on refugees and asylum seekers in modern Britain, and on the wider field of modern British history, I demonstrate the possibilities of diversification as a way to enliven political history's future.

The following two articles were originally contributions to a conference panel on "Malay local history: varieties of Malay experience". The panel was concerned with the way Malay culture has been "localized" in different situations. The concept of "localization", as discussed by Professor O. W. Wolters, refers to the process by which an imported culture tends to be "fractured and restated and therefore drained of original significance".

Abstract. Summer heatwaves are becoming increasingly dangerous over Europe, and their close monitoring is essential for human activities. Typically, they are monitored using the 2 m temperature from meteorological weather stations or reanalysis datasets. In this study, the 2022 extremely warm summer over Europe is analysed using satellite land surface temperature (LST), specifically the LSA SAF (Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility) all-sky LST product (available from 2004 onwards). Since climate applications of LST are still poorly explored, heatwave diagnostics derived from satellite observations are compared with those derived using ERA5/ERA5-Land reanalysis data. Results highlight the exceptionality of 2022 in different metrics such as the mean LST anomaly, area under extreme heat conditions, number of hot days and heatwave magnitude index. In all metrics, 2022 ranked first when compared with the remaining years. Compared to 2018 (next in all rankings), 2022 exceeded its LST anomaly by 0.7 °C and each pixel had on average 7 more hot days. Satellite LST complements reanalysis diagnostics, as higher LST anomalies occur over areas under severe drought, indicating a higher control and amplification of the heatwave by surface processes and vegetation stress. These cross-cutting diagnostics increase the confidence across satellite data records and reanalyses, fostering their usage in climate applications.

First published in 1996 by the Mexican publisher Centro de Investigacion Cientifica, this documentary history provides a vivid overview of African slavery in Cuba (which wasn't abolished until 1886, later than any country save Brazil) and its relationship to the plantation system of the New World. The book is comprised of two parts; the first is a rich introductory essay by the author, and the second is a collection of eighty previously unpublished primary documents from various Cuban archives that shed light on the lived experiences of Cuba's African slaves. The volume is significant in three.
