War, Work, and Want

An expansive history of how an economic shock a half century ago created a world that is addicted to mass migration. The oil shock of 1973 changed everything. It brought the golden age of American and European economic growth to an end; it destabilized Middle Eastern politics; and it set in train processes that led to over one hundred million unexpected--and unwanted--immigrants. In War, Work, and Want, Randall Hansen asks why, against all expectations, global migration tripled after 1970. The answer, he argues, lies in how the OPEC Oil crisis transformed the global economy, Middle Eastern geopolitics and, as a consequence, international migration. The quadrupling of oil prices and attendant...

A panoramic view of the evolution of life on our planet, from its origins to humanity’s future. In A History of Bodies, Brains, and Minds, Francisco Aboitiz provides a brief history of life, the brain, and cognition, from the earliest living beings to our own species. The author proceeds from the basic premise that, since evolution by natural selection is the process underlying the origin of life and its evolution on earth, the brain—and thus our minds—must also be the result of biological evolution. The aim of this book is to narrate how animal bodies came to be built with their nervous systems and how our species evolved with culture, technology, language, and consciousness. The book...

La taula de canvi i de dipòsits de Tarragona i la ciutat del seu temps (1584-1749)

Josep M. Recasens i Comes amb el seu llibre completa una trilogia sobre Tarragona i el seu àmbit territorial: el municipi i el govern municipal en els segles XVI i XVII, el Corregiment i, ara, un estudi de la institució financera municipal, dins de la història de la ciutat i de les característiques socioeconòmiques que van emmarcar aquell intent frustrat de crear una institució de crèdit. La importància de la investigació és notòria. Les fonts documentals consultades en diversos arxius li han permés extreure una rica informació en dades comptables, en la història de la mateixa taula i en esdeveniments que van coincidir amb el llarg període de vida, de més d’un segle i mig, de la institució municipal. La taula de canvi, la ciutat i els seus habitants, tres factors essencials en aquesta història, s’ofereixen al lector amb rigor històric, mètode eficaç i excel·lent prosa, característiques sempre difícils a l’hora de construir temes com el del present treball, en què xifres i dades comptables imposen un ritme a l’exposició i als resultats.
