The essay "Sexual Difference in the Brain: A Critical Review from Feminism" by Sonia Reverter criticizes the idea that there are sexual differences in the brain. The author argues that these differences do not inherently generate inequality, but rather it is a system of power that turns and interprets these differences into inequalities. The book also addresses topics such as the naturalization of sex in science and the debate between gender segregation and coeducation in schools. Additionally, it proposes projects of "epistemological guerrilla" to resist pseudosciences and promote social change. The book advocates for a feminist neuroscience that challenges conventional divisions and is based on intersectionality and interdisciplinarity. [Extracted from the article]

The book "Institutions and individuals who acted as a bridge between Navarra and the Hispanic Monarchy (16th to 19th centuries)" coordinated by Mercedes Galán Lorda, analyzes the mechanisms used throughout the centuries to balance the privileges and customs of Navarra with its inclusion in a foreign governmental and judicial system. The book consists of seven chapters that address topics such as the viceroyal institution in Navarra, the laws and ordinances of the kingdom, the Council of Navarra, letters of naturalization, the patronage of Navarra, the influence of the court on the arts, and the figure of Antonio Morales Gómez de Segura. It also studies the role of viceroys in the relationship between Navarra and the Hispanic Monarchy, as well as the process of naturalizing foreigners as Navarrese. The book offers an interdisciplinary view of the tensions between Navarra and the Hispanic Monarchy throughout the centuries. [Extracted from the article]

Chakrabarti problematizes the often overstated faith placed by modern historians in archaeological, geological, or - broadly speaking - "scientific" evidence at the expense of "mythological" sources as a means of reconstructing the past.
