The Santurce Crabbers
The first owner of the Santurce Crabbers, Pedrin Zorrilla, was a visionary, with many Negro League and big league contacts (he signed up Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Roy Campanella, Ray Dandridge and Leon Day in the first decade). Santurce was the most successful winter league team of the 1950s, with three Caribbean Series titles. Roberto Clemente, Ruben Gomez, Willie Mays, Willard Brown and Bob Thurman played for the Crabbers. Tom Lasorda used to pitch for them. Santurce set up working agreements with the Giants, Orioles, Dodgers and Astros, among other teams. Earl Weaver and Frank Robinson were team managers; several Hall of Famers were early-career Crabbers. Orlando Cepeda and Tony (Tany) Perez played their entire winter league careers with Santurce.
Argentina's Missing Bones
"Argentina's missing bones: revisiting the history of the dirty war examines the history of state terrorism during Argentina's 1976-83 military dictatorship in a single place: the industrial city of Córdoba, Argentina's second largest city and the site of some of the dirty war's greatest crimes. It examines the city's previous history of social protest, working-class militancy, and leftist activism as an explanation for the particular nature of the dirty war there. Argentina's missing bones examines both national and transnational influences on the counter-revolutionary war in Córdoba. The book also considers the legacy of this period and examines the role of the state in constructing a public memory of the violence and holding those responsible accountable through the most extensive trials for crimes against humanity to take place anywhere in Latin America"--Provided by publisher.

Memoriae civitatum: arqueología y epigrafía de la ciudad romana
El Imperio romano estuvo constituido por un gran número de variopintas ciudades de las cuales han llegado a nosotros abundantes ruinas arqueológicas y textos epigráficos. El estudio de estos testimonios directos del pasado nos permite recomponer y reinterpretar memorias colectivas que han sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. Aflora de este modo la identidad de cada civitas, plasmada con frecuencia en sus monumentos conmemorativos, en estrecha vinculación con el tejido social y el paisaje urbano, además de con el desarrollo de la vida política y religiosa de la comunidad correspondiente. Esta obra pretende buscar los elementos en común y, al mismo tiempo, profundizar en las singularidades de diferentes memoriae civitatum, tras pasar por el tamiz del historiador. Con este fin se han recopilado veintidós estudios de base epigráfica y/o arqueológica, referidos a distintos casos de ciudades, en su mayoría de época altoimperial. El marco geográfico nos ubica sobre todo en las provincias romanas de Baetica, Hispania citerior y Lusitania, pero también en las de Moesia superior y Aquitania, pasando por la misma Roma.
