El 2021 commemorem els cinquanta anys de la recuperació dels estudis universitaris a Tarragona i el trentè aniversari de la creació de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Per això hem volgut celebrar aquesta efemèride publicant un llibre que recull els discursos de tots els doctors i doctores honoris causa que ha investit la nostra institució. En total són 46 les persones amb aquest títol honorífic que reconeix una trajectòria acadèmica, científica o professional excel·lent.
Zapopan, una historia entre siglos reúne las reflexiones de veinte especialistas con un enfoque multidisciplinario. Los autores, de una manera sencilla pero con el rigor académico que los distingue, acercan al lector a la visión que las nuevas generaciones de estudiosos del pasado ofrecen a través de estos trabajos. Elaborado con elementos de un presente que ya no está, en el que no tenemos ninguna influencia o protagonismo, se perciben los sutiles impactos que moldean nuestra identidad. Nuestro pasado tampoco existe salvo cuando lo evocamos; lo inventamos toda vez que hablamos de él, cuando participamos en nuestras festividades, cuando reconocemos el orgullo de ser oriundo de Zapopan ...
In 1929, Hollywood mogul William Fox (1879-1952) came close to controlling the entire motion picture industry. His Fox Film Corporation had grown from a $1600 investment into a globe-spanning $300 million empire; he also held patents to the new sound-on-film process. Forced into a series of bitter power struggles, Fox was ultimately toppled from his throne, and the studio bearing his name would merge in 1935 with Darryl F. Zanuck's flourishing 20th Century Pictures. The 25-year lifespan of the Fox Film Corporation, home of such personalities as Theda Bara, Tom Mix, Janet Gaynor and John Ford, is chronicled in this thorough illustrated history. Included are never-before-published financial figures revealing costs and grosses of Fox's biggest successes and failures, and a detailed filmogaphy of the studio's 1100-plus releases, among them What Price Glory?, Seventh Heaven and the Oscar-winning Cavalcade.

Less than a year later she was dead. Lakhani tracked Cáceres remarkable career, in which the def...
