Spain - Studies in Political Security

?This book is important because of the authors as well as the subject--the new democratic Spain in the world context. Politicians, historians, social scientists, journalists, and diplomats, many of whom mold Spanish opinion, present the role Spain should assume in the Western world from their own points of view--often partisan. They discuss this role with reference to the historical and recent Franco legacy, a legacy that differentiates Spain from other West European countries in its relations with the United States, NATO, Spanish America, and North Africa. The reader will perceive some underlying shared perspectives and feelings difficult for foreigners to understand but ones that should not be ignored.?---Juan J. Linz, Pelatiah Perit Professor of Political and Social Science, Yale University

Info autore

The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
