Economic History of the European Energy Industry
Global climate change and the war in Ukraine have put energy back on the agenda for Europe in a way that has not been seen since the oil crisis of the 1970s. But the economics and business of supplying energy to Europe has a long and rich history going back to the nineteenth century. This book explores changes in energy markets, strategies, firms and investments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The primary focus is on manufactured gas—the gas that was initially produced from coal distillation until new ways of manufacturing gas emerged after the Second World War. The expert contributors to this volume draw on their extensive research and utilise primary sources to explore a w...
The Persistence of Violence
Why is Colombia so violent? Beyond even the horrors of the conflict between the guerrilla, the paramilitary, and the government, the history of the nation is scarred by acts of violence. It has also been marked by resistance to that history--by moments of hope.The Persistence of Violence transcends the obvious places as sources and indices of this story, delving into the complex and conflicted world of popular culture, from football to television to tourism to the environment.

El historiador como docente
En este libro se recogen varias aportaciones en torno a un tema central: el desafío que deben afrontar los historiadores en la medida en que, además de dedicarse a la investigación, han de desempeñar una labor docente y, como tal, de comunicación en la sociedad actual, caracterizada precisamente por la avalancha informativa y la proliferación de noticias falsas, también conocidas como "bulos" o "fake news". Los capítulos giran en torno a la necesidad de revalorizar nuestra disciplina científica, la identificación de herramientas alternativas para la enseñanza de la historia en las aulas, y un compendio de buenas prácticas educativas cuyo fin no es otro que demostrar que otra historia es posible, no para alejarnos de nuestras raíces científicas, sino para dirigirnos al público actual en un lenguaje que le resulte familiar y, al mismo tiempo, presentarnos como alternativa clara, rigurosa y objetiva, a otras noticias e informaciones de dudosa veracidad.
Companies and Entrepreneurs in the History of Spain
This book analyses the economic history of the company and entrepreneurship in Spain from the 15th century to the present. It evaluates the economic theory, the formation of the figure of the entrepreneur, as well as the structure of the companies. This exploration of the businessmen in Spain over several centuries is something that has not been done until now. Joining the great Spanish historiographical debate about the existence or not of entrepreneurship, the book brings together research in very different historical contexts and junctures. It presents a selection of cases of companies and entrepreneurs from Spain, from different sectors, regions and periods, from boom to crisis, from the wine businessman to the railway sector, from private banking to the pioneers of the Spanish travel agency business. It will be of interest to academics and students in economic history, business and management history, as well as researchers in entrepreneurship & small business management.
The Gas Industry in Latin Europe
This book explores the development of the gas industry within Latin Europe (France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain). Through charting the growth of this industry during the 19th and 20th centuries, the technology and public policies used are examined to highlight the long term impact of the industry. Utilising a comparative analysis, similarities and variation between the development of gas within the Latin European countries is compared and contrasted with the aid of specific case studies. This book aims to place the development of gas resources in Latin Europe within a global perspective that takes into account the development of energy resources in the rest of Europe and the world more generally. It will be of interest to students and researchers working within energy economics and economic history. The book forms part of the results of the research project ‘Gas in Latin Europe: a comparative and global perspective (1818-1945)’, financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of the Spanish Government and ERDP Funds.

Mineral Springs Resorts in Global Perspective
Spa resorts were a favoured destination for affluent seekers after health and comfortable leisure in opulent surroundings from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, although in the railway age they began to suffer from competition from new fashions in leisure and tourism, especially the seaside holiday. During their heyday the leading spa resorts became hotbeds of political and diplomatic intrigue, and gathering-points for high society. As such, they also became important businesses, and distinctive, carefully-managed urban environments. ‘Taking the waters’ at a mineral springs resort fell into eclipse over much of the Western world in the mid-twentieth century, only to revive in mor...

La escuela y la despensa
En el primer tercio del siglo XX la sociedad española asistió a un intenso proceso de cambio económico, social y cultural que culminó, en el plano político, con la proclamación de la Segunda República, el 14 de abril de 1931. Un proceso acelerado a raíz de la neutralidad de España en la Primera Guerra Mundial y de los efectos de la segunda industrialización. En esta obra se tratan algunas de las transformaciones que marcaron este proceso de cambio, desde la reducción del analfabetismo a la caída de la mortalidad y la elevación de la estatura media de los jóvenes reclutas, pasando por la mejora de la salud y de las infraestructuras públicas de agua, alcantarillado, gas y electr...
