Route of the Castilian Language The Route of the Castilian Language focuses on the history of the Castilian (Spanish) language and proposes six places of particular importance to visit: San Millán de la Cogolla (La Rioja), Santo Domingo de Silos (Burgos), Valladolid, Sa- lamanca, Ávila and Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). In this itinerary, monuments, writers, squares, cloisters, pa- laces, libraries, landscapes, tradition and gastronomy are all intermingled, in an open invitation to discover the be- 1 auty of these six localities. The entire tour encourages visi- tors to discover and experience for themselves all the charm of a history and a language which have evolved in parallel and which are clearly evident in every little spot along the way. San Millan´ de la Cogolla 2 Library Monasteries of Suso and Yuso San Millán walks San Millán de la Cogolla, a World Heritage Site since 1997, is part of the Route of the Castilian Language. It was here where the earliest known writings in the Castilian language were discove- red, the so-called Glosas Emilianenses or Emilian Glosses. The monasteries of Suso and Yuso are both located in San Millán; these two monasteries are of considerable importance in terms of architectural heritage and culture. In fact, the scriptorium at San Millán was one of the most prominent in Spain in the Middle Ages, thanks to the literary work of the monks residing there. Gonzalo de Berceo, the first poet to write in the Castilian lan- guage, also came from these lands. These monasteries and adjoining grounds are a haven for meditation, walks, rests or simply to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Cárdenas Valley.

Turning Stone Into Gold and Silver Into Stone on the Importance of Studying Innovation
The Innovation Journal: The Public Sector Innovation Journal, Volume 19(2), 2014, article 8. Turning Stone into Gold and Silver into Stone On the importance of studying innovation Jarle Moss Hildrum Senior researcher Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway 1 The Innovation Journal: The Public Sector Innovation Journal, Volume 19(2), 2014, article 8. Turning Stone into Gold and Silver into Stone: On the importance of studying innovation Jarle Moss Hildrum ABSTRACT This discussion paper offers a reflection on the importance of studying innovation, using illustrative examples from16th century Spanish history. Comparing the innovation policies of two successive rulers of the ancient city of Granada the paper makes the case that well- functioning innovation systems can be gradually developed, but also rapidly destroyed, through different public policies. The main argument is that it is possible to oppose the devastation of successful innovation systems by conducting and diffusing good social research that points to principles upon which such systems are based. Keywords: innovation systems, public policy, social development Without science and technology, the life of man would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. Keith Pavitt For a long time, I thought that there must be plenty of topics that are both more important and more enjoyable to study than innovation. I have come to believe that there are certainly topics that are more enjoyable, but few that are more important. This change of heart did not occur all of a sudden, but came sneaking up on me gradually. Sure enough, academic books and lectures have taught me that innovation -the creation of higher quality, lower cost products and services - is crucial for the long-term economic growth and welfare of a society; that it does not accrue in equal amounts in all parts of the world; that specific combinations of public policies and social structure offer distinct possibilities for innovation and so on.

In Search of a Yellow Purse
A UNESCO Safari in Iberia or In Search of a Yelow Tot I didn’t think it would be so hard. It all started in Catania, Sicily, about 6 weeks ago where I saw it ﬁrst. A butter-yellow purse, large enough to function as a tote, the perfect-size-three-in-one- with an inner bag that is so practical. A man at the open market around the corner from my hotel holds it up -- “15 Euro” he shouts. A good price. But you never take the asking price at a street market. “12” I shout back. He shakes his head “no”, so I keep on walking......... and thinking about that tote. It soon starts to sprinkle and vendors start packing up. I then decide that, yes, I want it. So I double back but he is already gone - along with the magniﬁcent, must-have-yellow-tote. In major cities of Europe it seems that African men (mostly from Senegal) seem to have dibs on selling purses and totes in street markets. Much of the goods are copies. And we all know that you can’t buy a Louis Vuitton or Michael Kors on the street for 15 euro. But some of their products are fun pieces and aren’t bad -- and make great tote- bags. They are well-designed, never leather, but “pleather” (leather looking plastic) and are fun to shop for, bargain (to the death, of course) and buy. So at all our stops, I ask our drivers where the Africans with the purses hang out. They all know where they are.

The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception Presents Nothing Less Than a New, Highly Significant Perspective on Christianity
Scanned & Semi-Proofed by Cozette History/Religion/Archaeology "An engrossing read....A racy tale of archaeological sins, religious bigotry, academic megalomania, misconduct and possible criminality, along with bizarre political intrigue." —Antiquity (U.K.) The oldest Biblical manuscripts in existence, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves near Jerusalem in 1947, only to be kept a tightly held secret for nearly fifty more years, until the Huntington Library unleashed a storm of controversy in 1991 by releasing copies of the Scrolls. In this gripping investigation authors Baigent and Leigh set out to discover how a small coterie of orthodox biblical scholars gained control over the Scrolls, allowing access to no outsiders and issuing a strict "consensus" interpretation. The authors' questions begin in Israel, then lead them to the corridors of the Vatican and into the offices of the Inquisition. With the help of independent scholars, historical research, and careful analysis of available texts, the authors reveal what was at stake for these orthodox guardians: The Scrolls present startling insights into early Christianity—insights that challenge the Church's version of the "facts." More than just a dramatic expose of the intrigues surrounding these priceless documents, The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception presents nothing less than a new, highly significant perspective on Christianity. "Crystalline, well-documented. .Baigent and Leigh advance startling theories that should change the way we view ancient Judaism and nascent Christianity. ." —Publishers Weekly "A wonder of savage detail. .The reading of the archaeological, historical and analytic-textual evidence is always ingenious." —John Leonard, New York Newsday "Not for the theologically faint of heart." —Chicago Tribune MICHAEL BAIGENT graduated from Canterbury University, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Rcos De La Afrontera
Arcos: The Ancient White Town "Imagine the flat, narrow, long plain that rises and falls, undulating as it descends from the mountain; add white houses and old, blacke- ned mansions, cut off each side of the hill sharply so that it stands out RCOS DE LA like a wall: put a silent, slow-running river at the base of the wall to A lap against the yellow stone...Once you have imagined all this, you RONTERA will be visualizing the pale image of Arcos." F Azorín And Its Parador T ravelers see it at once: this town that Fernán Caballero called "ancient and white" is many things. It is as if its dre- amlike landscape had created a special race of people from a mix of all its inhabitants over the course of its history. Because Arcos is, above all, a legend. Legend has it that the town was founded around the time of the Great Flood, built originally by King Brigo, Noah's grandson, some 2,000 years before Christ and 400 years after the Flood. The town's emblem includes the following legend: "Rex Brigus Arcibrigam Fundavit. Alfons Sapiens a Mauris Restaruavit" ("King Brigo founded Arcos and Alfonso the Wise recovered if from the Moors") What is certain is that the finest prehistoric remains -stone axes and vessels- confirm that it was populated in the Bronze Age and that Phoenician tribes inhabited the area 1,100 years before Christ. The area was long known for its mineral deposits, which have been mined since 700 B.C.. Lead, copper, iron, and perhaps even silver and gold, appear to have been abundant.
