Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

¿Por qué los buenos soldados hacen cosas malas?

Libro ¿Por qué los buenos soldados hacen cosas malas?

La pregunta que se formula en el título de este libro invita a reflexionar acerca del fracaso moral de los militares en el contexto contemporáneo, donde el uso de la fuerza es particularmente sensible por cuenta de las múltiples misiones que los ejércitos conducen, distintas a las operaciones propias de la guerra como históricamente la conocemos. La obra se estructuró en tres partes, una descripción de los ejércitos en la postmodernidad, un estudio del fenómeno estudiado que es la transgresión moral del soldado y un análisis de las repercusiones sociales e individuales de estas...
