LOVE ADOPTED CHILDREN
To love other people's children was related simply to love the friends that have been with us in the time of our life that we have, it is true, we sometimes invite a friend to lunch, we invite him a beer, and so on. I have always said that a child is the greatest blessing that God gives us, there are people who can not have children because of problems of sterility that they bring from birth or due to some illness they got in a certain time.If we love our friends whom we reach out with when they need us, then why do not we love our partner's children if they are single mothers or single fathers?
"Another Jerusalem"
In ‘Another Jerusalem’: Political Legitimacy and Courtly Government in the Kingdom of New Spain (1535-1568) José-Juan López-Portillo offers a new approach to understanding the origins of viceregal political authority in New Spain.
Barataria
Chiquitín Campala, veterano de guerra de Vietnam en sus cincuenta y arqueólogo autodidacta, tiene dos obsesiones en la vida: encontrar el sagrado Guanín del último jefe del pueblo taíno y ver a Puerto Rico convertirse en la estrella 51 de los Estados Unidos. Armado de una carretilla pegada a una vieja bicicleta y en compañía de Margaro, su fiel y pragmático compañero, recorrerá la geografía puertorriqueña pasando de una disparatada aventura a otra para intentar conseguir sus objetivos. Con un manejo del lenguaje extraordinario y una imaginación imparable, Juan López Bauzá muestra en esta magnífica y clásica novela una inteligente radiografía de la sociedad puertorriqueña; y aún más, tributo, parodia y reescritura contemporánea del Quijote, Barataria obliga a replantearse la difícil condición política y social de toda América Latina.

The Krausist Movement and Ideological Change in Spain, 1854-1874
This is a definitive study of a major intellectual movement of nineteenth-century Spain - the 'harmonic rationalism' of Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832). Professor López-Morillas clearly outlines the Krausist philosophy (dedicated to an ideal of universal brotherhood) and its relevance to Spain, where it had an unexpectedly powerful influence.
Democracy Delayed
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, foreign policy analysts and international relations scholars expected communist Cuba to undergo transitions to democracy and to markets as had the Eastern European nations of the former Soviet bloc. But more than a decade after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Castro remains in power, with no sign that the Cuban government or economy is moving toward liberalization. In Democracy Delayed, political scientist Juan López offers a searching and detailed analysis of the factors behind Cuba's failure to liberalize. López begins by comparing the political systems of three Eastern European states—the former German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, and Rom...

Islamic Literature in Spanish and Aljamiado
This important work is an historical study of the Islamic writings in Spanish and Aljamiado (Spanish in Arabic script) of the Muslim minorities in medieval Christian Spain, the Mudejars and Moriscos. On the basis of both Christian sources, such as archival documents and the writings of John of Segovia, and Islamic sources in Spanish and Arabic, this book focuses on the life and writings of Yça Gidelli (ca 1450), religious authority of the Mudejar community of Segovia (Castile). Of crucial importance for the history of Islamic Spanish literature, Yça's best-known work is a Spanish translation of the Qur’ān made at the request of bishop John of Segovia (d. 1458). This study follows the early history of Islamic writings in the vernacular (13th-14th centuries), continues with a description of Yça's writings and biography, and finally deals with his influence on Moriscos in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Secret Science
The discovery of the New World raised many questions for early modern scientists: What did these lands contain? Where did they lie in relation to Europe? Who lived there, and what were their inhabitants like? Imperial expansion necessitated changes in the way scientific knowledge was gathered, and Spanish cosmographers in particular were charged with turning their observations of the New World into a body of knowledge that could be used for governing the largest empire the world had ever known. As María M. Portuondo here shows, this cosmographic knowledge had considerable strategic, defensive, and monetary value that royal scientists were charged with safeguarding from foreign and internal enemies. Cosmography was thus a secret science, but despite the limited dissemination of this body of knowledge, royal cosmographers applied alternative epistemologies and new methodologies that changed the discipline, and, in the process, how Europeans understood the natural world.
