Architectural Heritage Revisited
By improving our understanding of how the tangible and intangible dimensions of heritage are correlated, we could develop a relationship with heritage that goes beyond the mere act of conservation. This book argues that we need to recognize the historic monument as a tangible aspect of a holistic expression of culture that is rooted in specific spatio-temporal conditions. However, since the latter are constantly changing, it is vital to identify an implicit contradiction with the goals of conservation. As the intangible dimensions are more dynamic, driven by the transmission, reception, and advancement of knowledge, the reliance of the prevailing treatment of heritage today, conservation, os...

Cortés, nuestro primer Maquiavelo
Todas las intrigas y maquinaciones que Nicolás Maquiavelo recomendó hacer Hernán Cortés las perpetró durante la conquista en México... Pero ellos nunca se conocieron ni supieron de sus obras. El Renacimiento transformó cada aspecto de Europa: la pintura y la literatura,por supuesto, pero también los modos de hacer la guerra y la política. El hombre que mejor entendió esto fue Maquiavelo, y quien mejor lo llevó a la práctica fue Cortés. Ninguno conoció las hazañas del otro, pero sus pensamientos y acciones parecen estar unidos por un misterioso lazo. Este ensayo reconstruye aquellas gestas y nos muestra, con ello, las grandes dinámicas de la historia y los vasos que comunican a las sociedades y a las personas, incluso a continentes y océanos de distancia. Así,en esta obra, Ilan Vit Suzan nos devela un modo completamente nuevo de entender a ese par de « villanos», y nos ofrece un modo revolucionario de aproximarse a la Europa del siglo xvi, luminosa pero brutal, y a aquella América en ebullición, campo de batalla y laboratorio de ideas.

Lithuanian Jewish Communities
This volume lists, in alphabetical order, the major Jewish communities that existed in Lithuania before World War II. The name of each community is accompanied by information about it: when it was founded, the Jewish population in different years, shops and synagogues, and the names of citizens. An appendix locates each town on a map of Lithuania. Since most of the Jewish communities in Lithuania were destroyed in the Holocaust, this volume will be a valuable tool in recreating a picture of Lithuanian Jewry.
Killing Orders
The book represents an earthquake in genocide studies, particularly in the field of Armenian Genocide research. A unique feature of the Armenian Genocide has been the long-standing efforts of successive Turkish governments to deny its historicity and to hide the documentary evidencesurrounding it. This book provides a major clarification of the often blurred lines between facts and truth in regard to these events. The authenticity of the killing orders signed by Ottoman Interior Minister Talat Pasha and the memoirs of the Ottoman bureaucrat Naim Efendi have been two of the most contested topics in this regard. The denialist school has long argued that these documents and memoirs were all forgeries, produced by Armenians to further their claims. Taner Akçam provides the evidence to refute the basis of these claims and demonstrates clearly why the documents can be trusted as authentic, revealing the genocidal intent of the Ottoman-Turkish government towards its Armenian population. As such, this work removes a cornerstone from the denialist edifice, and further establishes the historicity of the Armenian Genocide.
