EL CABALLO DE TROYA DE DESCARTES
Este estudio sobre la famosa duda metódica de Descartes presenta una perspectiva diferente sobre el posible origen de la hipótesis del genio maligno. Aunque Descartes siempre rehuyó el enfrentamiento directo con la teología y la filosofía oficiales, como buen conocedor de su tiempo, debió percatarse de la importancia determinante de la "angélica doctrina" de Urbano VIII en el segundo juicio contra Galileo. El autor plantea si los conceptos teológicos incorporados en el sistema de Descartes obedecen a una estrategia para desarmar y liquidar la posición ideológica de aquellos que, en nombre de la omnipotencia divina, se opusieron al realismo científico con objeto de convertir a la nueva física en un mero artificio técnico. La clave para entender su filosofía la anotó Descartes en uno de sus cuadernos juveniles: " En el momento de subir a este escenario mundano, me presento disfrazado". ¿ Qué permanece en secreto detrás de la ficción del genio maligno y la duda metódica?. Este libro da claves para iluminar el enigma e interpretar desde otra perspectiva histórica sus intenciones y su pensamiento.

Reconstructing Paleodiets: Challenges and Advances
Reconstructions of diet provide valuable insights into the ecology and evolutionary history of animals and humans in the fossil record, and the history of relationships between animals and humans. Reconstruction of past diets allows tracking numerous ecological and behavioural aspects through time and across diverse geographic areas, such as, but not limited to: trophic position, niche sharing and niche partitioning, past vegetation, migration patterns, ontogenetic and individual diet choices, and adaptations to changing environment. It also is a useful tool to track climatic change. More broadly, these insights are key to reconstructing and understanding the structure, composition, and function of past ecosystems. Multiple approaches have been proposed to infer paleodiets, including the integration of multiple proxy approaches.
Popular Piety and Political Identity in Mexico's Cristero Rebellion
Dr Butler provides a new interpretation of the cristero war (1926-29) which divided Mexico's peasantry into rival camps loyal to the Catholic Church (cristero) or the Revolution (agrarista). This book puts religion at the heart of our understanding of the revolt by showing how peasant allegiances often resulted from genuinely popular cultural and religious antagonisms. It challenges the assumption that Mexican peasants in the 1920s shared religious outlooks and that their behaviour was mainly driven by political and material factors. Focusing on the state of Michoacán in western-central Mexico, the volume seeks to integrate both cultural and structural lines of inquiry. First charting the u...

Latin American Independence
"Rarely has the story of Latin American independence been told so richly and with such a plurality of voices. Chambers and Chasteen have expertly woven a comprehensive yet accessible historical tapestry of primary sources to tell the story of the Wars for Independence. The editors recover fascinating, lesser-known voices---many of which appear in English for the first time here---and situate them alongside canonical sources in rewarding and surprising ways. This is an indispensable resource for students and scholars alike, and an invitation to critically rethink the multiple meanings and resonance of Latin American independence." Christopher Conway, The University of Texas at Arlington "This...
Blacks in Colonial Veracruz
Beginning with the Spanish conquest, Mexico has become a racially complex society intermixing Indian, Spanish, and African populations. Questions of race and ethnicity have fueled much political and scholarly debate, sometimes obscuring the experiences of particular groups, especially blacks. Blacks in Colonial Veracruz seeks to remedy this omission by studying the black experience in central Veracruz during virtually the entire colonial period. The book probes the conditions that shaped the lives of inhabitants in Veracruz from the first European contact through the early formative period, colonial years, independence era, and the postindependence decade. While the primary focus is on blacks, Carroll relates their experience to that of Indians, Spaniards, and castas (racially hybrid people) to present a full picture of the interplay between local populations, the physical setting, and technological advances in the development of this important but little-studied region.
