The History of Coffee in Guatemala
After it emerged as a market commodity in the 18th century, coffee was easily adapted to cultivation in the highlands of Central America. Guatemala in particular has relied on coffee cultivation as a part of its economic identity: it has been a premier export crop for over 300 years. The importance of coffee to the country lies in the large labour investment in each stage of production. The book covers agricultural, social, and cultural aspects of coffee culture in Guatemala in old photographs, charts, tables and maps. Wagner's work shows how Guatemala has met the economic complexity to which this product is subject, and why coffee remains the solid foundation crop of the country today.
Mexican Political Biographies, 1884–1934
Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English.

The work includes those figures who ...

Evolución De Un Pensar
Los poemas de Ezequiel Conocí a Ezequiel Álvarez cuando yo tenía apenas 16 años y entraba a militar en la agrupación estudiantil de cubanos exiliados Abdala. Siempre lo conocí por el nombre de Kelo. Siempre fue largo, flaco, barbudo y con espejuelos. Kelo siempre tuvo pinta de escritor; se daba un aire entre Unamuno y Valle Inclan, pero con un temperamento mucho más fraterno y dulce. Kelo era, como el resto de nosotros, un idealista que creía en la social-democracia como alternativa al régimen estalinista de los hermanos Castro. Íbamos en contra de viento y marea. No estábamos ni con La Habana ni con los elementos de derecha del exilio. Eran tiempos difíciles y alegres. De vez en...
The Lara Family
For much of the Middle Ages, the Lara family was among the most powerful aristocratic lineages in Spain. Proteges of the monarchy at the time of El Cid, their influence reached extraordinary heights during the struggle against the Moors. Hand-in-glove with successive kings, they gathered an impressive array of military and political positions across the Iberian Peninsula. But cooperation gave way to confrontation, as the family was pitted against the crown in a series of civil wars. This book, the first modern study of the Laras, explores the causes of change in the dynamics of power, and narrates the dramatic story of the events that overtook the family. The Laras' militant quest for territorial strength and the conflict with the monarchy led toward a fatal end, but anticipated a form of aristocratic power that long outlived the family. The noble elite would come to dominate Spanish society in the coming centuries, and the Lara family provides important lessons for students of the history of nobility, monarchy, and power in the medieval and early modern world.
