Book Description
The introduction of omnibus services in the late 1820s revolutionised urban life in Paris, London and many other cities. As the first form of mass transportation—in principle, they were ‘for everyone’—they offered large swaths of the population new ways of seeing both the urban space and one another. This study examines how the omnibus gave rise to a vast body of cultural representations that probed the unique social experience of urban transit. These representations took many forms—from stories, plays and poems to songs, caricatures and paintings—and include works by many well-known artists and authors such as Picasso and Pissarro and Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and Guy de Maupassant. Analysing this corpus, the book explores how the omnibus and horse-drawn tram functioned in the cultural imagination of the nineteenth century and looks at the types of stories and values that were projected upon them. The study is comparative in approach and considers issues of gender, class and politics, as well as genre and narrative technique.

Book Description
El lobo de Caja Madrid es la historia del paso depredador de Miguel Blesa al frente de la que fuera la cuarta entidad financiera de nuestro país. La Caja de Ahorros de Madrid fue la más antigua de todas las españolas. Fundada en 1702, su finalidad inicial fue atender las necesidades de los sectores sociales más desfavorecidos, dándoles protección y apoyo financiero a través de préstamos gratuitos, garantizados con alhajas, prendas y otros bienes. Comoentidad financiera sin ánimo de lucro funcionó a la perfección hasta que en 1996, de la mano del entonces presidente del Gobierno José María Aznar y gracias al apoyo de CC.OO., llegó a su presidencia Miguel Blesa. La suya ha quedado como muestra de una de las más desastrosas gestiones de nuestro sistema bancario, puesto que nos ha costado a todos los españoles 22.424 millones de euros para evitar la quiebra de Bankia.A lo largo de estas páginas, los autores diseccionan a un personaje, Miguel Blesa, y su vida desaforada (llena de cacerías, cruceros, lujo...), sus ruinosos negocios en Miami, Iberia, Martinsa o SosCuétara, el escándalo de las preferentes, la expansión del ladrillo y, en definitiva, la ruina de Caja Madrid por los abusos y desmanes de un depredador y de su entorno político, que queda aquí al descubierto

Book Description
From the earliest days of their empire in the New World, the Spanish sought to gain control of the native peoples and lands of what is now Sonora. While missionaries were successful in pacifying many Indians, the Seris--independent groups of hunter-gatherers who lived on the desert shores and islands of the Gulf of California--steadfastly defied Spanish efforts to subjugate them. Empire of Sand is a documentary history of Spanish attempts to convert, control, and ultimately annihilate the Seris. These papers of religious, military, and government officials attest to the Seris' resilience in the face of numerous Spanish attempts to conquer them and remove them from their lands. Most of the documents are being made available for the first time, while the few that have been published are extremely difficult to find. They include early observations of the Seris by Jesuit missionaries; the collapse of the Seri mission system in 1748; accounts of the invasion of Tibur¢n Island in 1750 and the Sonora Expedition of 1767-1771; and reports of late-eighteenth-century Seri hostilities. Thomas Sheridan's introduction puts the documents in perspective, while his notes objectively clarify their significance. In a superb analysis of contact history, Sheridan shows through these documents that Spaniards and Seris understood one another well, and it was their inability to tolerate each other's radically different societies and cultures that led to endless conflict between them. By skillfully weaving the documents into a coherent narrative of Spanish-Seri interaction, he has produced a compelling account of empire and resistance that speaks to anthropologists, historians, and all readers who take heart in stories of resistance to oppression.
