Este libro, muestra de un proyecto ambicioso de largo plazo, evidencia y enseña nuestra riqueza como país, un tejido de territorios diversos y únicos que, a la vez, nos hacen un todo. Desde su fundación, en la Universidad del Rosario hemos visto pasar por sus aulas un sinnúmero de personas que provienen de las distintas regiones del país, quienes desde su formación y vida profesional han contribuido y contribuyen a pensar en el desarrollo de Colombia. Esta particularidad nos abre la posibilidad del diálogo y construcción conjunta, para implementar diferentes frentes que redunden en el bien de todos y que nos permita interactuar con las comunidades en los territorios y profundizar en nuestras funciones sustantivas con perspectiva regional. Este libro documenta los encuentros, el trabajo desarrollado y los logros conjuntos de nuestros investigadores con los habitantes de nuestras regiones; así mismo, esta obra comparte las experiencias de integración e interacción con las regiones, para devolver parte de los saberes adquiridos, mostrar al resto del país la importancia de pensar en clave regional y, claro está, hacer visible al mundo nuestra maravillosa Colombia.

En Los mercados de la Plaza Mayor en la Ciudad de México encontra-mos un ejercicio de microhistoria. La obra indaga la génesis de los merca-dos capitalinos modernos. El comercio tradicional novohispano que combina-ba los «cajones» de espanoles y los «puestos» de indfgenas y castas, se trasformô hasta consolidar, durante el siglo XVIII, très mercados especializa-dos: Alcaiceria, Baratillo y bastimentos. Nada mâs ajeno a los mercados virrei-nales que la libre competencia y la ley de la oferta y la demanda; en cambio, aparecen una serie de vînculos esta-mentales y relaciones informales pacta-das verbalmente como el combustible que ponia en movimiento las transac-ciones mercantiles de la capital de la Nueva Espana.

The purpose of this book is to make a comparison the books of statutes of the seven Spanish elite colleges – the colegios mayores – and their changes throughout the time. To do so those books have been deconstructed first and reordered later, in accordance with the type of members of the college communities, their internal organization, core values and rules regarding daily life and the protection and control of the colleges. In practical terms this work is a companion book of part II of Escuelas de imperio. La formación de una elite en los Colegios Mayores (siglos XVI-XVII) (2019), where the foundations of the Spanish collegiate system are analyzed. The book includes a transcript of the constitutions and statutes of the College of Santa Cruz in Valladolid, whose last printed edition is from 1786. El propósito de este libro es el de comparar los estatutos y constituciones originales de los siete colegios mayores españoles y su evolución a lo largo del tiempo. Se ha procedido para ello a una deconstrucción de sus normas y la reordenación posterior en base a las categorías de miembros de las comunidades colegiales, su organización interna, los principios por los que se regían, las normas que regulaban su vida cotidiana, y las que debían asegurar la protección y el control de las fundaciones. A efectos prácticos, esta obra quiere ser un “libro de acompañamiento” de la parte II de Escuelas de imperio. La formación de una elite en los Colegios Mayores (siglos XVI-XVII) (2019), en la que se analizan los fundamentos del sistema colegial español. El libro se completa con una transcripción de la constituciones y estatutos del Colegio de Santa Cruz de Valladolid, cuya última edición impresa es de 1786.

In this first biography of Edmund Gerald Brown Jr. in more than thirty years, Chuck McFadden explores the unique persona of one of the most idiosyncratic politicians in California history. Son of California political royalty who forged his own political style against the tumultuous backdrop of a huge, balkanized state-and shoved to and fro by complex currents-Jerry Brown plumbed his visionary impulses as well as his grandiose ambitions. McFadden traces Brown's childhood in San Francisco, his time studying for the priesthood, his unusual political career, and his romances-including a long-term relationship with singer Linda Ronstadt. He describes Brown's first two terms as governor advocating for farm workers, women and minorities, his time roaming the world in a spiritual quest, and his return to the gritty world of politics as chairman of the California Democratic Party and then mayor of Oakland. Political experts weigh in with thoughts about the remarkable 2010 campaign that saw the 72-year-old Brown winning his third term in office while being vastly outspent by Republican Meg Whitman. Concise, insightful, and enlivened by the events and personalities that colored the history of California, Trailblazer provides an intimate portrait of the pugnacious, adept politician who has bucked national trends to become a leader of one of the largest economies in the world.

"Kenneth Allen Gibson, the first African American mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was born in 1931 in the town of Enterprise, Alabama. He graduated from high school in Enterprise in 1950 and joined the U.S. Army as a civil engineer. He remained in the Army until 1958. After his discharge, he took a job as a New Jersey State Highway Patrol trooper while simultaneously attending Newark College. Gibson graduated with a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1963. After college Gibson took an engineering position for the Newark Housing Authority where he oversaw urban renewal projects from 1960-1966. In 1966, he became Newark's chief structural engineer. He was also the head of Newark's Business and Industry Coordinating Council and served as vice president of the United Community Corporation, which fought poverty in Newark during that time. In 1970 Gibson ran for Mayor of Newark, New Jersey and defeated incumbent Hugh J. Addonizio, who was subsequently convicted of extortion and conspiracy charges. Gibson took over a predominantly African American city, still recovering from the race riot of 1967 which left 23 people dead. He was credited for economic revival that resuscitated the city's economy. When he first came into office, the city was in the midst of a population loss from 400,000 to 300,000. By the end of his first term, the numbers slowly began to grow again as Gibson encouraged the return of middle class residents with urban housing developments such as Society Hill."--Provided by publisher.
