Xavier Sardà, harto de algunas de las incongruencias que se producen en el Estado de las autonomías, se pregunta cómo explicaría a alguien que no conoce la realidad de este país, qué es España exactamente. Él es catalán y catalanista, pero no quiere que Cataluña se convierta en un país independiente.

This book is a Spanish translation of the proceedings of a conference held in 1986. Archaeologists and conservators from around the world met in Mexico City to examine the unique problems associated with in situ archaeological conservation. The papers presented focus on a wide variety of materials (including adobe, wood, ceramics, textiles, painting, skin, and bone) and sites as diverse as Algeria and the Arctic. Of special note are case studies of three spectacular sites in Mexico: Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan, and Cacaxtla.
