La Valencia desaparecida 3 es el necesario vértice que completa y culmina la trilogía iniciada con la Valencia desaparecida. Los autores vuelven a sorprendernos con una cuidodasamente seleccionada serie de mas de un centenar de comparativas impactantes.Contemplandolas usted a buen seguro transitara a caballo, de varios estados de animo. Un carrusel de sentimientos contrapuestos que no seran otra cosa que el resultado de la confrontacion entre una Valencia desaparecida y una Valencia actual que aunque tambien desaparecera, es el escenario de nuestras vidas y punto de referencia obligado.

El libro que tiene entre manos contiene más de dos centenares de fotografías comparativas que le permitirán realizar un retroceso en el tiempo para conocer esa Valencia ya desaparecida, sin la cual no se puede explicar la actual. En una ciudad que ha hecho casi un dogma de fe la adoracion a lo nuevo y el desden a lo antiguo, las imagenes de este libro nos evocan un tiempo que ya no volvera pero que resulta indispensable conocer para los ciudadanos que quieran entender la Valencia del presente. Barrios enteros transformados, escenas y gentes desaparecidas, un mundo que ya no existe pero que los autores atrapan para, confrontandolo con la actualidad, invitar al lector a una necesaria reflexion acerca de quienes fuimos como ciudad, quienes somos y quienes queremos llegar a ser en un futuro.

Asimismo, tambien se incluye el proceso de elaboracion de los materiales necesarios y del plano del lugar concreto en el que se desarrollaran dichas actividades, que bien puede ser un parque, el recto de un centro educativo, etc., en caso de no poder disponer del terreno mas apropiado, que no es otro que el medio natural.

Desvelos es una colección de cuentos y poemas escritos en momentos en los que era necesario para el autor transmitir sensaciones que circulaban por su conciencia. Desvelos puede hacer referencia a un corte repentino del sueño o una noche en vela, pero tambien, en una segunda acepcion, ser una idea revelada y hecha publica de manera sorpresiva. Escritos durante mas de una decada en notas o publicaciones en redes sociales, nace sin pretensiones estrategicas literarias. Son poemas que cristalizan por primera vez en papel, con la voluntad de hacer un homenaje a los hechos que son narrados. Desvelos es un punto de partida. Un simple cruce de miradas puede ser el eje central de un poema, pero tambien hay aforismos del autor y otros tipos de letras que tienen que ver con el flamenco o la igualdad, coherentes con la vida cultural y activismo social del autor. El camino empieza ahora.

Desde la Conferencia de Barcelona, el área del Mediterráneo está asistiendo a un cambio profundo en las relaciones con la Unión Europea. El establecimiento de un área de libre comercio en 2010 -fecha que debera adelantarse ante la liberalizacion comercial que la Union Europea proyecta llevar a cabo con Mercosur, Mexico y Chile- tendra importantes repercusiones en el sector agricola de esta zona. Ademas, existen otros aspectos fundamentales como la inmigracion -hay que solucionar el hecho de que el Estrecho de Gibraltar sea un cementerio de personas e ilusiones- y los problemas demograficos y humanos que, tal y como se constata de los datos recogidos en esta obra, precisan de un compromiso decidido por parte de los paises de la Union Europea para su solucion, accion que deberian liderar España, Francia e Italia.En El Mediterraneo en la encrucijada del nuevo milenio se analizan temas del area mediterranea y de la Union Europea, prestando mayor atencion a los paises mediterraneos del norte de Africa y sur de Europa: España, Francia e Italia. Todos conocemos la importancia de esta zona que conforma, desde cualquiera de las perspectivas, un potencial de desarrollo sin parangon, tanto en la agricultura como en el turismo y en el ocio, donde hoy es la primera potencia mundial. Aunque pasa por momentos de dificultad en el sur y en el este, a toda el area compete el trabajar juntos para recuperar el esplendor del pasado.
