Bioarchaeology and Behavior
While mortuary ruins have long fascinated archaeologists and art historians interested in the cultures of the Near East and eastern Mediterranean, the human skeletal remains contained in the tombs of this region have garnered less attention. In Bioarchaeology and Behavior, Megan Perry presents a collection of essays that aim a spotlight on the investigation of the ancient inhabitants of the circum-Mediterranean area. Composed of eight diverse papers, this volume synthesizes recent research on human skeletal remains and their archaeological and historical contexts in this region. Utilizing an environmental, social, and political framework, the contributors present scholarly case studies on su...
Middlebrow Cinema
Middlebrow Cinema challenges an often uninterrogated hostility to middlebrow culture that frequently dismisses it as conservative, which it often is not, and feminized or middle-class, which it often is. The volume defines the term relationally against shifting concepts of ‘high’ and ‘low’, and considers its deployment in connection with text, audience and institution. In exploring the concept of the middlebrow, this book recovers films that were widely meaningful to contemporary audiences, yet sometimes overlooked by critics interested in popular and arthouse extremes. It also addresses the question of socially-mobile audiences, who might express their aspirations through film-watch...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
Il cartello
A dieci anni da Il potere del cane torna, in tutta la sua potenza epica, la guerra sanguinaria al narcotraffico. E la sfida tra i cartelli messicani e il loro peggior nemico, l'agente della Dea Art Keller.
The Cartel
From the bestselling author of the acclaimed The Power of the Dog comes The Cartel, a gripping true-to-life epic, ripped from the headlines, spanning the past decade of the Mexican-American drug wars. It's 2004. DEA agent Art Keller has been fighting the war on drugs for thirty years in a blood feud against Adan Barrera, the head of El Federaci�n, the world's most powerful cartel, and the man who brutally murdered Keller's partner. Putting Barrera away costs Keller dearly - the woman he loves, the beliefs he cherishes, the life he wants to lead. Then Barrera gets out, determined to rebuild the empire that Keller shattered. Unwilling to live in a world with Barrera in it, Keller goes on a ten-year odyssey to take him down. The Cartel is a true-to-life story of power, corruption, revenge, honour and sacrifice, as one man tries to face down the devil without losing his soul.

Viaje a España en 1824 y 1825
La princesa Amalie de Sajonia, hija mayor del príncipe Maximiliano de Sajonia, emprendió un viaje a España junto con su padre, de octubre de 1824 a mayo de 1825, para reunirse con su hermana menor, la reina María Josefa, tercera esposa de Fernando VII. Aparte de ser una gran música (alumna de Carl María von Weber) que compuso, entre otras obras, doce óperas, la princesa Amalie fue también una reconocida escritora, sobre todo de comedias, traducidas a varios idiomas. Le gustaba asimismo viajar y redactar diarios de sus viajes. Estos manuscritos se encuentran en el Hauptstaatsarchiv de Dresde, entre ellos el de su viaje a España, cuya edición alemana fue publicada en 2021 por Edition Serena, Moritzburg. En ella se basa el presente libro.
