Working Through the Past
Democratization in the developing and postcommunist world has yielded limited gains for labor. Explanations for this phenomenon have focused on the effect of economic crisis and globalization on the capacities of unions to become influential political actors and to secure policies that benefit their members. In contrast, the contributors to Working through the Past highlight the critical role that authoritarian legacies play in shaping labor politics in new democracies, providing the first cross-regional analysis of the impact of authoritarianism on labor, focusing on East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.

Manual on Estimation of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP)
The manual describes procedure for estimating the maximum probable precipitation and the maximum probable flood. This is the third revised version.

Newly added content in this third edition primarily results from experiences, since 1986, in directly estimating PMP for the requirements of a given project in a design watershed on probable maximum flood (PMF) in China, the United States of America, Australia and India.--Publisher's description.
Las asistentes sociales de la Vicaría de la Solidaridad
La Vicaría de la Solidaridad nació de la decisión del cardenal Raúl Silva Henríquez de crear una institución de inspiración cristiana que extendiera la solidaridad a todas las víctimas de la violencia de Estado y tradujera ese mandato en la promoción de los derechos humanos conforme a la dignidad de cada ser humano. Las asistentes sociales que trabajaron en ella, al ser las primeras en recibir a los familiares de los detenidos desaparecidos, fueron reconocidas como el rostro visible de la Iglesia para los sufrientes.
