HISTORIA AMBIENTAL DE LA REGION DEL GOLFO DE MEXICO
Esta es una historia del devenir humano en el Golfo de México, de la actividad humana en relación indisoluble con el ecosistema que tiene como eje una masa de agua, enmarcada en una cuenta del occidente del Atlántico: que se extiende por el fondo marino, pero también en la superficie por cadenas montañosas, planicies costeras y sistemas hidrológicos de ríos que desembocan en el Golfo, habitadas y recubiertas por una compleja flora y fauna, todo en constante interacción. Esta es la historia de larga duración de la vinculación estrecha entre el hombre y la naturaleza, que da vida a una dinámica medioambiental que aquí se expone.

Historiography in the Twentieth Century
“No one looking for a well-informed introduction to . . the key views of history adopted by professional historians . . could find a better one than this.” ―Richard J. Evans, author of In Defence of History A broad perspective on historical thought and writing, with a new epilogue.

Education, Assessment, and Society
This book provides a comparative account of the evolution of examinations and other assessment procedures in England and France. By tracing the similarities and differences in the ways in which the two countries provided for the assessment of occupational competence, for managing the need for educational and social selection and for social control, the author shows that changes in assessment reflect changes in the priorities and preoccupations of society as a whole. Assessment is seen as rising in the context of increasing social competition within emerging industrial societies.
