Decapitado (Tres subversiones performativas)
Desesperados, casi al borde del abismo, a punto de caer en el mismo centro de la deyeccion y el desencanto, los seres que pululan y se abaten en estas tres piezas de Jorge Luis Torres representan el enves de una moneda que, a pesar de la cuadratura de sus bordes, circula. Explosiva mezcla de existencialismo sartreano con desafuero genetiano. Muy inquietante la relacion entre los personajes, sostenida por una compleja mezcla entre un lenguaje elevado, poetico, filosofico, y la inclusion de terminos e insinuaciones mas cercanas a lo escatologico. Eros y Tanatos mirandose en el espejo. La historia tiende un mapa de sensualidad estilizada, abrupta, criptica, mediante la cual los personajes se crean continuamente en el marasmo desolado, apocaliptico y posnuclear en el que se encuentran. El soporte textual es poderoso, imanta y seduce sin cesar.

Systematic List of Fossil Decapod Crustacean Species
A compilation of all known species of fossil decapod crustaceans arrayed in a modern classification based upon the work of numerous students of extant and fossil decapods represents the first such attempt in nearly 100 years. The systematic list cites authors and carefully verified dates of authorship as well as a complete list of references to all taxa cited. The work is intended to provide insight into the range and relative numbers of fossil taxa within the suborder Decapoda. The compilation will permit interpretation of the nature of completeness of the fossil record and will provide a platform for future research on this important, diverse group of organisms.

Deconstruction in a Nutshell
Responding to questions put to him at a Roundtable held at Villanova University in 1994, Jacques Derrida leads the reader through an illuminating discussion of the central themes of deconstruction. Speaking in English and extemporaneously, Derrida takes up with unusual clarity and great eloquence such topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice, responsibility, the gift, the community, the distinction between the messianic and the concrete messianisms, and his interpretation of James Joyce. Derrida convincingly refutes the charges of relativism and nihilism that are often leveled at deconstruction by its critics and sets forth the profoundly affirmative and ethico-political thrust of his work. The “Roundtable” is marked by the unusual clarity of Derrida’s presentation and by the deep respect for the great works of the philosophical and literary tradition with which he characterizes his philosophical work. The Roundtable is annotated by John D. Caputo, the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University, who has supplied cross references to Derrida’s writings where the reader may find further discussion on these topics. Professor Caputo has also supplied a commentary which elaborates the principal issues raised in the Roundtable. In all, this volume represents one of the most lucid, compact and reliable introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any language. An ideal volume for students approaching Derrida for the first time, Deconstruction in a Nutshell will prove instructive and illuminating as well for those already familiar with Derrida’s work.

Studies on Decapoda and Copepoda in Memory of Michael Türkay
This volume is dedicated to the memory of the eminent carcinologist Michael Türkay, of the Research Institute and Natural History Museum Senckenberg, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is a tribute to his outstanding international contribution to the study of decapod crustaceans. An extensive account of Michael’s life and achievements is presented, along with thirty-one scientific papers by 62 of his friends and colleagues from around the world. The book’s focus is almost entirely on decapod crustaceans, and covers a variety of topics, including taxonomy, systematics, zoogeography, morphology, palaeontology, genetics, general biology and ecology. Numerous new taxa are described from a number of marine and freshwater groups, including one new genus and 13 new species named in honour of Michael himself.The contents of this volume were originally published in 2017 in Crustaceana volume 90, issue 7-10.

Hippos (Sussita) of the Decapolis
Hippos of the Decapolis, perched on Mt. Sussita just east of the Sea of Galilee, has been excavated since 2000 by the Hippos Excavations Project on behalf of the Zinman Institute of Archaeology, University of Haifa. After twenty-five years of investigation, Hippos is one of the most systematically explored cities of the Decapolis and among the best-documented Classical sites in the southern Levant.This volume presents a detailed study of two centrally located monumental public buildings that reflect the peak of Hippos’s prosperity in the mid-first to third centuries CE: the civic basilica and the Southern Bathhouse. The strata below and above the remains of these Roman-period buildings reveal the city’s earlier Hellenistic and Early Roman phases and its later Byzantine and Early Islamic occupation up to the 749 CE earthquake, when the site was abandoned. The fully exposed civic basilica, constructed at the end of the first century CE and brought down by the 363 CE earthquake, is the smallest but the most thoroughly studied among the known basilicae of Roman Greater Syria and Arabia. The Southern Bathhouse, built in the second century CE, has over half of its plan revealed by excavations. Together with the full record of ceramic building materials and portable finds, it is one of the most thoroughly published examples of these marvels of Roman engineering in the Near East. This comprehensive publication makes a significant contribution to the study of Roman civic and bathing architecture, urbanism, and material culture, offering essential resources for Classical-period archaeologists, historians of the Roman East, and specialists in Greco-Roman studies.

Gerasa and the Decapolis
During the Long Classical Millennium (fourth century BC to eighth century AD), Northwest Jordan was part of two worlds, looking west to the Mediterranean as well as east towards the Arabian desert. It was not only a collection of distinctive micro-regions but a 'virtual island', isolated by geography on all sides. Here one finds historical and archaeological data of an intensity and quality probably superior to that of any region in the Near East other than Israel.This book exploits some of that evidence to explain the character of an unusual region with a dense network of cities and an unexpected surge of settlement which reached a peak and extent not encountered again until the mid-twentieth century. It explores and develops some of the principal themes one may investigate for the region of Northwest Jordan, but which often apply to the Near East as a whole.

Decameron
In the summer of 1348, as the Black Death ravages their city, ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside...Taken from the Greek, meaning 'ten-day event', Boccaccio's Decameron sees his characters amuse themselves by each telling a story a day, for the ten days of their confinement - a hundred stories of love and adventure, life and death, and surprising twists of fate. Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values, the tales range from the bawdy Peronella, hiding her lover in a tub, to Ser Cepperallo, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative that has inspired writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare . Translated with an introduction by G.H. McWilliam'McWilliam's finest work, his translation of Boccaccio's Decameron remains one of the most successful and lauded books in the series'The Times
