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)Â 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.
