Attention: This book requires no knowledge of math! During my career as an aerospace engineer, I have come to find that math is only one small prerequisite for being successful in the field - what's most important is passion. Aerospace engineering builds on several basic disciplines including mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electronics and communications. Even just a rudimentary understanding of these fields enables a more rapid and deep understanding of the advancements in aerospace engineering - whether you be an interested spectator or professional in the field, this is your textbook. Our real limits are far beyond our current perception and we will challenge them for many cen...

With the war between the Mexican state and the drug traffickers operating within its borders having claimed over 70,000 lives since 2006, noted journalist and author Michael Deibert zeroes in on the story of the notorious Gulf Cartel, their deadly war with their former allies Los Zetas, the cartel's connections in Mexican politics and what its trajectory means for Mexico’s--and America’s--future. Punctuated by the disappearance of busloads of full of people from Mexican highways, heavy-weapon firefights in once-picturesque colonial towns and the discovery of mass graves, nowhere has the violence of Mexico’s drug war been more intense than directly across the border from East Texas, the...

"Miserias del poder" pretende contribuir a que el debate público sobre el franquismo incluya en su agenda no sólo el importantísimo problema de la represión sino también el del funcionamiento, e intereses, del poder o las actitudes políticas de sus apoyos sociales. Entender críticamente, y en toda su amplitud, la dictadura nos permitirá valorar su lugar en nuestra historia contemporánea y comprender las razones de su «olvido».

On their return to New Mexico from El Paso after the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, the New Mexican settlers were confronted with continuous raids by hostile Indians tribes, disease and an inhospitable landscape. In spite of this, in the early and mid-eighteenth century, the New Mexicans went about their daily lives as best they could, as shown in original documents from the time. The documents show them making deals, traveling around the countryside and to and from El Paso and Mexico City, complaining about and arguing with each other, holding festivals, and making plans for the future of their children. It also shows them interacting with the presidio soldiers, the Franciscan friars and Inquisition o...
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las actitudes sociales de la población almeriense durante la primera década del franquismo. Desde una perspectiva microhistórica y muy próximos a la historia sociocultural y la historia “desde abajo” tratamos de adentrarnos en la relación entre la población y el Nuevo Estado. La pretensión última es introducir nuestro trabajo en el más amplio debate sobre la capacidad de las dictaduras fascistas europeas para generar espacios de aquiescencia. El trabajo se estructura en torno a cuatro capítulos. En el primero se analiza la sociedad y la política almeriense durante la crisis de los años treinta (II República y Guerra Civil). En el segun...
