The Transmission of Well-being
What does well-being mean when we talk about men and women in the past? Their sheer chances of survival, their protection from want, their social status, their individual agency and their self-esteem were all strongly mediated by the family, the predominant social institution. Family laws and customs of family formation created differences between insiders and outsiders in terms of well-being. Within families, there were strong differences in autonomy, status and freedom between the genders and generations. The book offers a fascinating exploration of gender differences in well-being in many regions of historic Europe, with some comparative perspectives. It explores how historic family systems differed with respect to choosing a marriage partner, transmitting property, living and care conditions of widows and widowers and the position of children born out of wedlock.

Jugando bajo el mezquite. Formas de vida y aprendizaje cotidiano de las niñas y niños en una comunidad del altiplano potosino
La inquietud que guía este trabajo es conocer cómo los procesos cognitivos son constituidos y qué nos pueden decir acerca de las relaciones en que surgen: qué significa ser niño de una cultura, cómo se construye el conocimiento de los niños en un medio y contexto específico. Partiendo del supuesto de que la construcción del conocimiento que tienen las niñas y niños del Mezquital está íntimamente vinculada con el medio ecológico, social y cultural que les rodea, y de que niños y niñas construyen su conocimiento y sus múltiples referentes culturales a través de las actividades que realizan cotidianamente al interior de la unidad doméstica. El objetivo de la investigación es conocer el bagaje de conocimientos y habilidades que construyen y desarrollan los niños y niñas de entre 6 y 13 años, que viven en el ejido El Mezquital de Bocas, San Luis Potosí, S. L. P., a través de las actividades que realizan cotidianamente y saber a través de qué se determina la conformación del ser niño o niña en esta comunidad del desierto potosino.
Between the Middle Ages and Modernity
This groundbreaking book examines the complex relationships between individuals and communities in the profound transitions of the early modern period. Taking a global and comparative approach to historical issues, the distinguished contributors show that individual and community created and recreated one another in the major structures, interactions, and transitions of early modern times. Offering an important contribution to our understanding both of the early modern period and of its historiography, this volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working in the fields of medieval, early modern, and modern history, and on the Renaissance and Reformation.
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.
