A arca de Noé

Wed, 30 May 2012 11:30:15 +0000

When any of us approaches to the sea to bathe, or simply goes for a walk on wet sand, most people are not aware that this watery liquid that forms the sea has an age of about 4,500 million years, almost as many as the planet we inhabit. So, this huge ecosystem was witness of the majority of both geological and biological events that took place on this planet. Neither are we aware that when we leave the bath, in these saline waters, we carry on our body a lot of cells of very small size, many of them microscopic, known as fitoplankton. These marine microorganisms are the foundation of food chains in this environment. Much of our food, that one that comes from the sea, depends on the abundance of these small photosynthetic organisms. Although the focus is Oceanography and Marine Biology, this is a book that could qualify for multidisciplinary, since, as the story about Noah's ark, it covers many other aspects, not only biological, ranging from historical stories about navigation, Erastótenes and sphericity of the earth, investigations by Alfred Wegener on plate tectonics and its influence on our planet until Thor Heyerdal and the expedition of the Kon-tiki, the conquest of the Blue Planet by humans, hunting of whales, etc. [http://www.baiaedicions.net/fisheye/view.php?gallery_id=6|A arca de Noé]

Os heroes

Wed, 30 May 2012 11:30:15 +0000

Third of three volumes of classical mythology in Galician art and literature. This title studies the heroes grouped in eight chapters: The war of Troy, To Odyssey, Hercules, Oedipus, Teseo, Perseo, Orpheus and Xasón and the Argonauts. Every hero is preceded of a mythological information, for a better comprehension of the artistic and literary chosen works. Most of the art exhibitions presented are made by Galician artists, while others were made specifically for Galiza by foreign artists. It also includes works that, regardless of their authorship, are permanently on display in our museums or institutions, public and personal. Literary works are mainly written in Galician language. Some are in Spanish, but written by Galician authors, of whom we chose, except for a few poems, the most significant paragraphs ... The exhibition, both of art and literature, does not pretend to be exhautive, although we consider it significant enough, today, to understand the importance of classical mythology in the culture of our country.
