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.

Gender and the Politics of Gradual Change
This book explores recent social policy reforms and innovations in Chile. Focusing on four major reform episodes — health, pensions, childcare, and maternity leave — Silke Staab unveils the complex interplay of factors that have shaped the successes and failures of actors pursuing positive gender change in social policy. She shows that even in highly constrained settings positive gender change is possible, but that its scope and quality are bound to vary in response to sector-specific institutional constraints and opportunities.

Catholicism, Race and Empire
This monograph places the science and ideology of eugenics in early twentieth century Portugal in the context of manifestations in other countries in the same period. The author argues that three factors limited the impact of eugenics in Portugal: a low level of institutionalization, opposition from Catholics and the conservative nature of the Salazar regime. In Portugal the eugenic science and movement were confined to three expressions: individualized studies on mental health, often from a 'biotypological' perspective; a particular stance on racial miscegenation in the context of the substantial Portuguese colonial empire; and a diffuse model of social hygiene, maternity care and puericulture.
