Patriotism, Politics, and Popular Liberalism in Nineteenth-Century Mexico
This detailed local study of state formation in nineteenth-century Mexico focuses on the life of Juan Francisco Lucas, the principal Indian leader of the Puebla Sierra between 1854 and 1917. The book illustrates how, over seventy years, the Indian communities of the Puebla Sierra, through the leadership of Lucas, compelled their political leaders to execute the mandates of the liberal state on terms that were locally acceptable. The text also provides a detailed look at the patriotism, politics, and popular liberalism which flourished during this period in Mexican history. This is the first in-depth study to examine the great nineteenth-century divisions between liberals and conservatives an...
Patria 3
«Fue en una de aquellas jornadas, que en la memoria se te empastaba como un continuo sin descansos y donde las anécdotas se te apelmazaban en el recuerdo, todo perseguido por un sueño que nunca llegaba, que te descubriste, al pie de un cañón y animando a los artilleros a que corrigieran la alzada, tomando la mano de un muerto. Retiraste la mano suavemente, soltando los dedos helados con cariño, como si temieras turbar su sueño y distraer tus pesadillas. Los muertos eran personajes en la historia de cada día. Dormían. Estaban lejos. En una zona de la vida en que el descanso era posible. Mariano Escobedo, en Querétaro te preguntas: ¿Quién podía triunfar? A la corta, quién sabe......
La resistencia republicana en las entidades federativas de México
El propósito de esta obra es estudiar cómo se vivió este proceso histórico en cada rincón de México. La historia de este país no se puede comprender a cabalidad sin analizar lo acontecido en los estados de la República. Las historias matrias conforman a la historia patria. Hay aspectos comunes en todas las regiones. El país entero se dividió entre republicanos y monarquistas, pero en todas, a pesar de sus conflictos políticos internos, se formaron juntas patrióticas y se organizó la resistencia republicana. En la medida de sus posibilidades, colaboraron con hombres y pertrechos en la defensa del país. La lucha contra la intervención extranjera cohesionó a la nación mexicana.

Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails)
Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) is an impassioned argument in favor of science—primarily the theory of evolution—and against creationism. Why impassioned? Should not scientists be dispassionate in their work? “Perhaps,” write the authors, “but it is impossible to remain neutral when our most successful scientific theories are under attack, for religious and other reasons, by laypeople and even some scientists who willfully distort scientific findings and use them for their own purposes.” Focusing on what other books omit, how science works and how pseudoscience works, Matt Young and Paul K. Strode demonstrate the futility of “scientific” creationism. They debunk the notion of intelligent design and other arguments that show evolution could not have produced life in its present form. Concluding with a frank discussion of science and religion, Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) argues that science by no means excludes religion, though it ought tocast doubt on certain religious claims that are contrary to known scientific fact.

Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance
To stay relevant, art curators must keep up with the rapid pace of technological innovation as well as the aesthetic tastes of fickle critics and an ever-expanding circle of cultural arbiters. Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance argues that, despite these daily pressures, good curating work also requires more theoretical attention. In four thematic sections, a distinguished group of contributors consider curation in light of interdisciplinary and emerging practices, examine conceptions of curation as intervention and contestation, and explore curation's potential to act as a reconsideration of conventional museum spaces. Against the backdrop of cutting-edge developments in electronic art, art/science collaboration, nongallery spaces, and virtual fields, contributors propose new approaches to curating and new ways of fostering critical inquiry. Now in paperback, this volume is an essential read for scholars, curators, and art enthusiasts alike.
