La detención y desaparición de 43 estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos de Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, entre el 26 y 27 de septiembre de 2014, cimbró al país y marcó el segundo semestre del año en México. Ante la presión nacional, pero sobre todo por la repercusión internacional del suceso, el gobierno federal se vio impelido a involucrarse para tratar de resolver el caso, pero su participación fue poco afortunada y contribuyó a deteriorar la imagen del presidente Enrique Peña Nieto y de su gabinete. El escándalo de la “casa blanca” presidencial y la revelación de que el secretario de Hacienda también adquirió en condiciones preferenciales una costosa vivie...
Esta obra aborda el análisis del proceso electoral de 2018 en México desde la experiencia multidisciplinaria de académicos, periodistas y personajes que contendieron con un cargo público y que, a diferencia de otros estudios que concentran su atención en el escenario nacional, hace énfasis en la interpretación de las particularidades de los sufragios en el estado de Jalisco y de cómo sus efectos incidieron en la realidad inmediata de la ciudadanía. Está dirigido a investigadores, analistas y estudiantes de carreras afines a las ciencias políticas.

El voto es importante en toda sociedad que se precie de ser democrática. La decisión es personalísima, se ejerce por acción o por omisión. El voto forma gobierno, siendo mandantes los ciudadanos y mandatarios los elegidos. Es necesario conocer las competencias y alcances de la función pública y que la ciudadanía identifique y ejerza sus propias facultades, con el propósito de establecer límites y controles al poder público.
As chamadas "revoltas da indignação" que eclodiram pelo mundo na década de 2010 são marcos incontornáveis para se buscar compreender os dilemas dos sistemas democráticos na atualidade. Muito esforço de investigação e análise ainda precisa ser feito para identificar suas origens, dinâmicas e consequências históricas. Um fato, contudo, parece evidente: a dispersão dos movimentos que protagonizaram esses acontecimentos, mais do que a sua institucionalização, é o que se observa nos diferentes países que sentiram o chão tremer com as multidões nas ruas. O trabalho de Juliano Medeiros contém essa premissa e de forma arrojada joga luz sobre a excepcionalidade dos processos de i...
In 1540 a small number of Spaniards founded the city of Arequipa in southwestern Peru. These colonists, later immigrants, and their descendants devoted considerable energy to exploiting the surrounding area. At first, like many other Spaniards in the Americas, they relied primarily on Indian producers; by the late 1500s they had acquired land and established small farms and estates. This, the first study to examine the agrarian history of a region in South America from the mid-sixteenth through late-seventeenth century, demonstrates that colonials exploited the countryside as capitalists. They ran their rural enterprises as efficiently as possible, expanded their sources of credit and labor,...
GlobalSoilMap: Basis of the global spatial soil information system contains contributions that were presented at the 1st GlobalSoilMap conference, held 7-9 October 2013 in Orléans, France. These contributions demonstrate the latest developments in the GlobalSoilMap project and digital soil mapping technology for which the ultimate aim is to produce a high resolution digital spatial soil information system of selected soil properties and their uncertainties for the entire world. GlobalSoilMap: Basis of the global spatial soil information system aims to stimulate capacity building and new incentives to develop full GlobalSoilMap products in all parts of the world.

On 11 September 1973, the Chilean Chief of the Armed Forces Augusto Pinochet overthrew the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende and installed a military dictatorship. Yet this is a book not of parties or ideologies but public history. It focuses on the memorials and memorialisers at seven sites of torture, extermination, and disappearance in Santiago, engaging with worldwide debates about why and how deeds of violence inflicted by the state on its own citizens should be remembered, and by whom. The sites investigated -- including the infamous National Stadium -- are among the most iconic of more than 1,000 such sites throughout the country. The study grants a glimpse of the depth of feeling that survivors and the families of the detained-disappeared and the politically executed bring to each of the sites. The book traces their struggle to memorialise each one, and so unfolds their idealism and hope, courage and frustration, their hatred, excitement, resentment, sadness, fear, division and disillusionment.
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
Julián Romero, Sancho Dávila, Cristóbal de Mondragón, and Francisco de Valdés were prominent Spanish military commanders during the first decade of the Revolt in the Low Countries (1567–1577). Occupying key positions in this conflict, they featured as central characters in various war narratives and episodical descriptions of the events they were involved in, ranging from chronicles, poems, theatre plays, engravings, and songs to news pamphlets. To this day, they still figure as protagonists of historical novels: brave heroes in some, cruel oppressors in others. Yet personal, first-hand accounts also exist. Archival research into the letters written by these commanders now makes it possible to include their perspectives and the way they describe their own experiences. Looking through the eyes of four Spanish commanders, Protagonists of War provides the reader with an alternative reading of the Revolt, contrasting the subjective experiences of these protagonists with fictionalised perceptions.
