The Spirit of Vatican II
Vatican II profoundly changed the outlook and the message of the Catholic Church. After decades, if not centuries, in which Catholic public opinion appeared to be primarily oriented towards the distant past and bygone societal models, suddenly the Catholic Church embraced the world as it was, and it joined in the struggle to create a radiant future.

LA TRANSICIÓN EN ANDALUCÍA
El libro aborda de forma sistemática el análisis del proceso de transición a la democracia encuadrado dentro de la llamada Historia del Tiempo Presente. La obra revisa cuestiones acerca de la transición en España y aborda la cuestión en el ámbito de los estudios regionales, especialmente Andalucía. Estos capítulos componen una auténtica renovación historiográfica, teórica y metodológicamente hablando. La sociedad andaluza es analizada como sujeto activo de la transición política que se estructura en organizaciones empresariales, sindicales y político-culturales, que alberga una elite notablemente continuista, que se introduce en el debate ideológico sobre el concepto de Andalucía, que lleva la renovación a los ayuntamientos y que aplica criterios de modernización económica en el contexto europeo.
