“…Archaeology also helps to clarify battles, which were often chaotic and only partially documented, and to understand better the patterns of political violence, whose effects were literally buried for over 70 years. The narrative starts with the coup against the Second Spanish Republic on 18 July 1936, follows the massacres and battles that marked the path of the war, and ends in the early 1950s, when the last forced labor camps were closed and the anti-Francoist guerrillas suppressed."…”

“…Warped opinions about our nation's public schools include: they are inferior to private schools; they are among the worst in the world in math and science; teachers should be fired if their students don't score at the national average, and on and on. With more than a little humour, Berliner and Glass separate fact from fiction in this comprehensive look at modern education reform. …”

“…The transformation of education from education to neo-Marxist thought reform follows significantly from the work of a Brazilian Marxist by the name of Paulo Freire, who is little-known outside of South America and colleges of education. …”

“…Verdad es que por su voluntad constante de no dejarse encasillar en cualquier partido Unamuno nunca fue un político en el sentido literal de la palabra. Con todo, se erige muy temprano en agitador de los espíritus, determinado a remediar los males de la patria, incluso en actor o guía durante las horas trágicas que vivió su país. …”

“…With this twofold approach, it hopes to serve as a guide for strategic litigation before national courts and the ECtHR, as well as to contribute to the academic debate on how the European Court could raise its standards of protection in migration-related cases. …”

“…The essays in this volume answer to anxieties that the pragmatist tradition has had little to say about justice. While both the classical and neo-pragmatist traditions have produced a conspicuously small body of writing about the idea of justice, a common subtext of the essays in this volume is that there is in pragmatist thought a set of valuable resources for developing pragmatist theories of justice, for responding profitably to concrete injustices, and for engaging with contemporary, prevailing, liberal theories of justice. …”

“…Cualquiera que se acerque a los textos recogidos en esta obra descubrirá que la contemplación del mundo implica un conocimiento activo –los ejemplos de Epicteto están extraídos de la vida cotidiana–, que contemplar es, en un sentido muy literal, ver, y ya se sabe que no hay peor ciego que... …”

“…This collection of essays, illustrated with manuscripts, archival material, postcards and family photographs, not only sets Kafka in the context of his life and times but also shows how his own experiences nourished his imagination. Literal travel in Western Europe enabled him, as his notebooks reveal, to practise descriptive writing. …”

“…It is at the very heart of what Christians believe, and very little else in Christianity makes sense without it. …”

“…Furthermore, no one has a fundamental right to any share of political power, and exercising political power does most of us little good. On the contrary, a wide range of social science research shows that political participation and democratic deliberation actually tend to make people worse--more irrational, biased, and mean. …”

“…Boredom is often viewed as a mental state with little utility, though recent research suggests that it can be a powerful motivator of human behaviour that shapes our actions in many ways. …”

“…Puis il lui confie une nouvelle mission : prouver que les Français Libres n’acceptent pas l’armistice de juin 1940 et continuent la guerre.
