Space, Place, and Motion: Locating Confraternities in the Late Medieval and Early Modern City
Space, Place, and Motion: Locating Confraternities in the Late Medieval and Early Modern City offers the first sustained comparative examination of the relationship between confraternal life and the spaces of the late medieval and early modern city. By considering cities large (Rome) and small (Aalst) in regions as disparate as Ireland and Mexico, the essays collected here seek to uncover the commonalities and differences in confraternal practice as they played out on the urban stage. From the candlelit oratory to the bustling piazza, from the hospital ward to the festal table, from the processional route to the execution grounds, late medieval and early modern cities, this interdisciplinary book contends, were made up of fluid and contested ‘confraternal spaces.’ Contributors are: Kira Maye Albinsky, Meryl Bailey, Cormac Begadon, Caroline Blondeau-Morizot, Danielle Carrabino, Andrew Chen, Ellen Decraene, Laura Dierksmeier, Ellen Alexandra Dooley, Douglas N. Dow, Anu Mänd, Rebekah Perry, Pamela A.V. Stewart, Arie van Steensel, and Barbara Wisch.
Confronting Emerging Zoonoses
This book provides readers with information on the factors underlying the emergence of infectious diseases originating in animals and spreading to people. The One Health concept recognizes the important links between human, animal, and environmental health and provides an important strategy in epidemic mitigation and prevention. The essential premise of the One Health concept is to break down the silos among the different health professions and promote transdisciplinary collaborations. These concepts are illustrated with in-depth analyses of specific zoonotic agents and with examples of the successes and challenges associated with implementing One Health. The book also highlights some of the...
País de un solo hombre
La obra, País de un solo hombre: el México de Santa Anna, es un exhaustivo trabajo que nos brinda un panorama histórico del México en que vivió este tan representativo personaje. El brillo de la ausencia es el último volumen de un largo proyecto que se ha ocupado de estudiar a Antonio López de Santa Anna; precedido por La ronda de los contrarios, y La sociedad del fuego cruzado, este tercer volumen concluye el recorrido histórico entorno al polémico personaje. A través del lente de González Pedrero, Santa Anna nos es presentado como una figura central para entender el caótico periodo, marcado por una serie de conflictos políticos, económicos y sociales que llevaron a México a enfrentar una serie de guerras, e incluso a perder gran parte de su territorio. Este último volumen, no es sólo el cierre de una vasta obra en torno a Santa Anna, sino, es un recorrido histórico al convulso siglo XIX mexicano.

Our Shrinking Globe: Implications for Child Safety, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America
Pediatricians in the Unites States and around the World continue to face a myriad of global health threats affecting child and adolescent health including: 1) infectious diseases of poverty [e.g. human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases] in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC), especially in sub Saharan Africa; 2) emerging and reemerging infectious diseases (such as Ebola); 3) rise of non-communicable diseases (e.g. common mental disorders); 4) unintentional injuries; and 5) environmental health hazards (e.g. climate change). Despite the promising news about rapid declines in maternal and child mortality in the era of Millennium Development...
