A comprehensive history of the Acoma sanctioned by the tribe.

Costaba más caro quedarse de brazos cruzados en casa que recorrer el mundo. Y decidieron, durante nueve meses y a lo largo y ancho de 28 países, hacer realidad su sueño: dar la vuelta al planeta y mandar todo… ¡A tomar por mundo!. Dijeron adiós a la rutina. Se colgaron la mochila a sus espaldas. Y salieron en busca de oportunidades a descubrir nuevos países, a zambullirse en su cultura y terminar la aventura casándose en una idílica playa de Bali. Todo ello con un presupuesto de sólo 20 € al día por persona. En este libro cuentan todas sus historias, trucos y secretos para hacer que un gran viaje sea más barato que vivir en España. ¿Viajamos?
Two young unemployed journalists, sick of the work situation in Spain, grabbed a calculator and did the math: € 6,000 in rent, € 1,340 in gasoline, everyday expenses, taxes, insurance, gym... and no income. It was more expensive to sit at home with their arms crossed than to travel the world. So they decided, for nine months and across 28 countries, to make their dream come true: to travel around the planet and leave it all... to take on the world! They said goodbye to routine. They strapped on their backpacks. And they went in search of opportunities, to discover new countries, to dive into foreign culture, and to end the adventure getting married on an idyllic beach in Bali. All this with a budget of only 20 € per day per person. In this book they tell all their stories, tips and tricks to make sure a great trip is cheaper than to live in Spain. Shall we travel?

Having retaken Santa Fe by force of arms late in 1693, Diego de Vargas faces unrelenting challenges, waging active warfare against defiant Pueblo Indian resisters while maintaining peace with Pueblo allies; providing homes, food, and supplies for 1,500 unsure colonists; and bidding unceasingly for greater support from viceregal authorities in Mexico City. At the head of combined units of Spanish and Pueblo fighting men, the governor in 1694 leads repeated assaults on castle-like fortified sites. Through combat, prisoner exchange, and negotiation, he reestablishes the kingdom. Franciscans reopen some of the missions. Vargas founds the villa of Santa Cruz de la Cañada. Pueblos north and west of Santa Fe rebel again in 1696; wearily, Vargas reports more blood on the boulders. Through The Journals of don Diego de Vargas, translated from official and private correspondence, we are drawn back, through conflict and compromise, into New Mexico's formative era.
The Jesuit educational tradition has existed for more than 450 years, and today, there are more than 150 Jesuit primary and secondary schools in North and Latin America. Jesuit Education at the Crossroads tackles the lack of research on these schools by bringing together scattered studies and asking experts on the issues about the current challenges for Jesuit education. The landscape pictured by this collection of essays suggests that Jesuit primary and secondary education is at a historical moment, analogous to a crossroads. After a crisis between the 1960s and ‘80s, these schools were consolidated, establishing themselves in national and international networks. But the twenty-first cent...

Capitalism represents the greatest engine of material well-being that the world has ever seen. But scepticism about its viability has grown across the political spectrum, on the back of rising inequalities, climate change and digital disruptions. This book joins the debate about the crisis of capitalism—not by blindly defending the system, but by advocating concrete proposals to put it on a more socially and environmentally sustainable path. Too often, conversations about the future of capitalism consider it as a homogeneous socio-economic system whose features vary little from one location to another; this commonly leads to one-size-fits-all recommendations to address capitalism’s flaws. The contributors to this book, by contrast, look at the transition needed from the perspective of capitalism’s multi-faceted nature, in response to challenges including the green transition, the digital revolution and spiralling inequalities. These present difficult trade-offs in terms of growth, efficiency and stability, which each capitalist model will solve differently.
