La obra de Enric Sebastià representa un verdadero hito en los estudios sobre la revolución burguesa en España. Sus tesis y propuestas teóricas, elaboradas a partir del caso valenciano, han abierto una fecunda y sostenida línea de investigación sobre el proceso revolucionario burgués en España (1808-1874), que ha sido continuada por sus numerosos discípulos, tanto en el País Valenciano como en el resto de la península. En De la cuestión señorial a la cuestión social, libro que se presenta como merecido homenaje a quien es y continúa siendo obligada referencia de la historiografía contemporánea española, se reúnen veinte estudios de profesores y profesoras pertenecientes a ocho universidades y distintos centros de enseñanza secundaria que giran en torno a cuatro grandes temas que han marcado la trayectoria investigadora del profesor Enric Sebastià: la cuestión señorial, la revolución burguesa y la Valencia de Blasco Ibánez.

A concise and very readable account of the life and spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola, stressing the importance of personal experience of God both in his own life, and in the life of the reader. The author places Ignatius firmly in the context of the volatile and fast-changing Europe of the sixteenth century. He avoids portraying him as a plaster saint and allows some of his contemporaries to give their own opinions of him - some positive and some negative! He portrays a very human Ignatius through whom God was able to do great things. The chapters on the Spiritual Exercises are designed to make their content accessible to the general reader, with the author sharing some of his own personal experiences of directing the Spiritual Exercises. Pope Francis speaks a great deal about the necessity for 'discernment' and this book explains what Ignatius meant by discernment of spirits and how he proposes we can five in a discerning way in the business of our everyday, it will be of help to those who desire to make good decisions in their lives, finding echoes of their own experience in the life and teaching of Ignatius.

Colombian-born Fernando Botero (b. 1932) is a painter, sculptor, and draftsman renowned for his extravagantly rounded figures combining the polish and excess of Spanish colonial baroque with the social realism of the Mexican muralists. Their humorous exaggeration belies the more serious content of Botero’s work—commentary on colonialism, political instability in Latin America, and the vernacular artistic traditions of the region, as well as European art history. Accompanying the artist’s first American retrospective in over thirty years, The Baroque World of Fernando Botero is the most extensive study of his life and work to date.
