Colonial Counterpoint
Named one of BBC History Magazine's "Books of the Year" in 2010 In this groundbreaking study, D. R. M. Irving reconnects the Philippines to current musicological discourse on the early modern Hispanic world. For some two and a half centuries, the Philippine Islands were firmly interlinked to Latin America and Spain through transoceanic relationships of politics, religion, trade, and culture. The city of Manila, founded in 1571, represented a vital intercultural nexus and a significant conduit for the regional diffusion of Western music. Within its ethnically diverse society, imported and local musics played a crucial role in the establishment of ecclesiastical hierarchies in the Philippines ...

Madrid's Forgotten Avant-Garde
This book explores the role played by artists and intellectuals who constructed and disseminated various competing images of national identity which polarized Spanish society prior to the Civil War. The convergence of modern and essentialist discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, in what is conventionally called in Spanish letters "The Generation of '27", created fissures between competing views of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation. Silvina Schammah exposes the paradoxes facing Madrid's cultural vanguards, as they were torn by their ambition for universality, cosmopolitanism and transcendence on the one hand and by the centripetal forces of nationalistic ideologies on the other. Taking upon themselves roles to become the disseminators and populizers of radical positions and world-views first elaborated and conducted by the young urban intelligentsia, their proposed aim of incorporating diverse identities embedded in different cultural constructions and discourse was to have very real and tragic consequences as political and intellectual lines polarized in the years prior to the Spanish Civil War.

Yucatán's Maya Peasantry and the Origins of the Caste War
Conflicts between native Maya peoples and European-derived governments have punctuated Mexican history from the Conquest in the sixteenth century to the current Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. In this deeply researched study, Terry Rugeley delves into the 1800-1847 origins of the Caste War, the largest and most successful of these peasant rebellions. Rugeley refutes earlier studies that seek to explain the Caste War in terms of a single issue. Instead, he explores the interactions of several major social forces, including the church, the hacienda, and peasant villagers. He uncovers a complex web of issues that led to the outbreak of war, including the loss of communal lands, substandard living conditions, the counterpoise of Catholicism versus traditional Maya beliefs, and an increasingly heavy tax burden. Drawn from a wealth of primary documents, this book represents the first real attempt to reconstruct the history of the pre-Caste War period. In addition to its obvious importance for Mexican history, it will be illuminating background reading for everyone seeking to understand the ongoing conflict in Chiapas.

Mecánica para ingenieros. Prácticas y problemas resueltos
Desde su perspectiva más clásica, la mecánica es entendida como la rama de la física que describe el movimiento de los cuerpos y su evolución en el tiempo bajo la acción de fuerzas. Esta definición pone de manifiesto la necesidad de conocer los fundamentos de esta ciencia a todos aquellos profesionales interesados en estudiar el comportamiento de sistemas mecánicos accionados o sustentados por fuerzas. Por ello, el objetivo básico de esta publicación es el de facilitar una herramienta simple y útil, a través de la cual el lector pueda adquirir y aplicar aspectos fundamentales de la mecánica clásica. Para ello se han recogido una serie de experiencias prácticas y problemas tipo, a través de los cuales se inicia al lector en la estática y dinámica de partículas y del sólido rígido, así como la cinemática de sistemas mecánicos. Este libro está dirigido a estudiantes de 1er. curso de la titulación de Ingeniero Técnico Industrial especialidad Mecánica, así como a aquellas personas interesadas en adquirir conocimientos en mecánica para ingenieros.
