The climate is changing, bringing with it increasing natural disasters around the world. The progress of societies lies in their ability to adapt to the new climatic conditions. Effective climate-adaptation strategies must be based in the sound analysis of the costs of the disasters, as well as the potential benefits and beneficiaries of adaptation strategies. This book offers an appraisal method to capture the total economic costs of flooding events: the Multiregional Flood Footprint Analysis. It captures the economic costs directly caused by physical destruction, and disruptive implications in production propagated through inter-industrial linkages in the current context of a global economy. The proposed method uses the fundamentals of the Input-Output analysis (IOA) in a multiregional dimension. It concludes that damages from natural disasters in one part of the globe may affect many economic sectors in the rest of the world, increasing the need for global adaptation strategies.

En este volumen se presenta una tematica dedicada por completo al mundo epigrafico romano. Se presentan estudios y analisis de piezas ineditas que muestran su interes por el contexto en el que han aparecido, tales como el material procedente de Carmona (Sevilla), o aquellas otras que, recogidas en las bases de datos especializadas al respecto, necesitan de una nueva interpretacion, tales como las localizadas para el entorno salpensano (Utrera, Sevilla).

El primer volumen que aqui nos compete versara sobre un reciente descubrimiento realizado en el termino municipal de Utrera que revolucionara la concepcion que se tiene de ello. Se trata de mostrar al publico lector la ubicacion exacta de la ciudad romana de Salpensa, citada por Plinio, como fruto de un fenomeno tipico romano que no es otro que el de la duplicidad en los nucleos urbanos, esto es, la existencia en paralelo de una ciudad indigena que se mantenia y evolucionaba a lo largo del tiempo, junto a una ciudad romana. En este caso, el periodo cronologico de la misma engloba desde momentos calcoliticos hasta plenomedievales, y no deja indiferente a la poblacion actual de Utrera, el Coronil o Los Molares, los cuales en un momento determinado de su historia mas reciente, se surtieron de los restos de esta historica ciudad, para construir su presente, devastando por completo lo que con tanto dolor y sufrimiento costo construir.

Un extrano lago que esconde un gran misterio en sus entranas, una trama de corrupcion que desea apoderarse de aquellas tierras, asesinatos, fantasmas en pena y demonios, se unen en esta nueva odisea fantastica del escritor sevillano David Mendoza.

Para ello, David combina el humor negro, lo mistico o urbano con la muerte y vida mas alla de la propia existencia, en esta nueva obra de cuentos para un publico muy especial.

Excepcional obra compuesta por novela corta y comic, realizada por el escritor David Mendoza, conocido por su pseudonimo Lucky, el cual juega con la mezcla del dibujo y los relatos, demostrando su grandiosa capacidad para ello, su gran habilidad para el dibujo del comic y sus polifaceticas caracteristicas en el arte de la literatura.
