Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Springfield Township, Montgomery County

Springfield Township, Montgomery County, adjoins the city of Philadelphia on its northern border. The township's six-plus square miles, originally established as "Penn's Manor of Springfield," was a gift from William Penn to his wife, Gulielma Maria Springett, c. 1681. This historic township was home to a major stagecoach line and its associated taverns and inns, considerable activity during the Revolutionary War, summertime residences of Philadelphia's wealthy, and subsequent post-World War II development as a burgeoning community just over the Philadelphia border. Springfield Township's rich history is pictorially represented with a number of previously unpublished photographs from the township historical societ, and wonderful private collections. In these pages, travel through the early colonial and farming settlements of the township's original settlers, the turbulence of the Revolutionary War, the arrival of the iron horse, the excitement of White City Amusement Park, the rise and fall of the great mansions and estates, and the explosion of new development as city residents and businesses moved out to the suburbs.

El primer federalismo en el Estado de México 1824-1835

Libro El primer federalismo en el Estado de México 1824-1835

En el libro, la autora señala que la premisa fundamental del pacto federal de 1824 fue iniciar la construcción del Estado mexicano, fundado en la suma de intendencias o provincias – posteriormente estados-, con el firme objetivo de propiciar el desarrollo integral de la nación. Cada estado de la República, destaca la autora, afrontó de manera específica su vínculo con la federación durante el primer intento de gobierno federal (1824 y 1835), El acontecer de cada entidad federativa dependió de su posición geográfica del poder regional que concentraban los antiguos caudillos...

El huracán rojo

Libro El huracán rojo

En esta extraordinaria obra, Alejandro Horowicz conecta las revoluciones de Francia y Rusia para escribir una historia general del cambio social. El hilo rojo se despliega desde la París alzada contra la monarquía en el siglo XVIII hasta los soviets de obreros y campesinos en Petrogrado en el siglo XX. Producto de siete años de lectura y de escritura, y quizá de toda una vida intelectual y política, Horowicz reconstruye con minuciosidad el doble poder tanto en Francia como en Rusia y demuestra que la legitimidad del movimiento revolucionario organiza la acción colectiva que transforma...
