The First Cathedral
Diego Vázquez, professor of history at the University of Compostela, travels to Cartagena to the funeral of his former friend and thesis tutor Jaime Fuentes. There he meets Sonia, daughter of the deceased, who gives her some books That Fuentes was working with at the time of her death. When he plans to return home, at the train station, Vazquez is caught by a thief, who takes his books, forcing him to file a complaint and stay another day in the city. A second robbery, this time in the late professor's home, will lead Vázquez and Sonia to resume the investigation left unfinished by his father, rebuilding the last week of Jaime Fuentes' life with the help of his personal agenda. The indications and riddles left by the former tutor will lead you to visit different archaeological remains of the city of Cartagena, embarking on an adventure full of mysteries and conspiracies, where you will discover that history is perhaps not as you have been told.

'Los Invisibles'
Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.
Lessons from NAFTA
Analyzing the experience of Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), 'Lessons from NAFTA' aims to provide guidance to Latin American and Caribbean countries considering free trade agreements with the United States. The authors conclude that the treaty raised external trade and foreign investment inflows and had a modest effect on Mexico's average income per person. It is likely that the treaty also helped achieve a modest reduction in poverty and an improvement in job quality. This book will be of interest to scholars and policymakers interested in international trade and development.
Keeping the Promise of Social Security in Latin America

In tackling this unfinished agenda, a great deal can be learned from the reform experience of countries in the region. 'Keeping the Promise,' produced by the chief economist's office for the Latin America and Caribbean region at the World Bank, evaluates policy reforms in 12 countries, points to successes and shortcomings, and proposes priorities and options for future reform.
Corinth, the Centenary, 1896-1996
Twenty-five papers presented at the December 1996 symposium held in Athens to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American School of Classical Studies excavations at ancient Corinth. The papers are intended to illustrate the range in subject matter of research currently being undertaken by scholars of ancient Corinth, and their inclusion in one volume will serve as a useful reference work for nonspecialists. Each of the topics (which vary widely from Corinthian geology to religious practices to Byzantine pottery) is presented by the acknowledged expert in that area. The book includes a full general bibliography of articles and volumes concerning material excavated at Corinth. As a summary of one hundred years' research it will be useful to generations of scholars to come.
