Las Izquierdas Latinoamericanas

This book is a Spanish translation of the proceedings of a conference held in 1986. Archaeologists and conservators from around the world met in Mexico City to examine the unique problems associated with in situ archaeological conservation. The papers presented focus on a wide variety of materials (including adobe, wood, ceramics, textiles, painting, skin, and bone) and sites as diverse as Algeria and the Arctic. Of special note are case studies of three spectacular sites in Mexico: Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan, and Cacaxtla.

The essays are supplemented with evocative photographs,...

No solo el campesino austríaco Franz Jägerstätter —a quien la película Vida oculta (A Hidden Life, 2019) de Terrence Malick ha hecho célebre y la Iglesia católica beatificó en octubre de 2007—, perdió la vida por negarse a prestar el juramento de fidelidad a Hitler. Además de Jägerstätter, aproximadamente una veintena de católicos y ocho o nueve cristianos evangélicos objetaron durante el nazismo por motivos religiosos. Con muy contadas excepciones, estos hombres no solo actuaron siguiendo los dictados de su conciencia aún a costa de la vida, sino que pasaron inadvertidos,...
