“…A discussion of the radical practice of barebacking-unprotected anal sex between gay men-delineates an intimacy that rejects the personal. Even serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and the Bush administration's war on terror enter the scene as the conversation turns to the way aggression thrills and gratifies the ego. …”

“…Included are the themes of British female utopia and dystopia; how the work of some British women poets both affected and reflected the variety of networks in which they were enmeshed; the intensely personal networks of American writers Mary Moody Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Emily Dickinson, and Alice James; Salem witches reimagined as Romantic heroines by American novelists Caroline Rosina Derby and Ella Taylor; the efforts of Southern autobiographers Rebecca Harding Davis and Elizabeth Avery Meriwether early in the twentieth century to negotiate a place for themselves and the South in American national history; and the significance of women's networks present in the South and absent in Brazil as depicted in Evelyn Scott's 1923 memoir"-- Provided by publisher…”

“…La guerra pudo terminar aquel mismo verano por una estrategia combinatoria de desestabilización de la retaguardia republicana y avance táctico rebelde en los frentes. La histórica alcazaba almeriense pudo haber sido destruida en otoño por albergar un supuesto aparato de detección de señales radioeléctricas. …”

“…El oficial Napoleón Childs parte al desierto de Sierra Madre con una patrulla a caballo en busca de los guerrilleros rebeldes. Anteriormente han perdido su rastro innumerables veces: por un día, por una hora, en el siguiente valle, en el siguiente pico de montaña, en cuevas que no existen. …”

“…Telling the story of Powell's political life from the 1950s onwards, Paul Corthorn's intellectual biography goes beyond a fixation on the 'Rivers of Blood' speech to bring us a man who thought deeply about--and often took highly unusual (and sometimes apparently contradictory) positions on--the central political debates of the post-1945 era: rejecting the Cold War emphasis on the Anglo-American relationship (and at one stage going so far as to advocate the idea of an alliance with the Soviet Union); promoting free-market economics long before it was fashionable, while remaining a staunch defender of the National Health Service; vehemently opposing British membership of the European Community; arguing for the closer integration of Northern Ireland with the rest of the UK; and in the 1980s supporting unilateral nuclear disarmament. …”

“…He contrasts it with the almost unknown progress of Francis Newman from the life of an evangelical and missionary to become an apostle of all those liberal, rationalist ideas which his brother had rejected with such vehemence and to doubt the very bases of the christian faith. …”

“…Julius Ruiz places Paracuellos in the wider context of the 'Red Terror' in Madrid, where a minimum of 8,000 'fascists' were murdered after the failure of military rebellion in July 1936. He rejects both 'revisionist' right-wing writers such as César Vidal who cite Paracuellos as evidence that the Republic committed Soviet-style genocide and left-wing historians such as Paul Preston, who in his Spanish Holocaust argues that the massacres were primarily the responsibility of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD. …”

“…By emptying charisma of its religious meaning, Weber opened the door to the modern perception of it as little more than a form of celebrity, stripped of moral considerations. Rieff rejects Weber’s definition, insisting that Weber misunderstood the relation between charisma and faith. …”

“…Por sus páginas desfilan herejes y extranjeros, locos y marginados, brujas y mendigos; pero también reyes desheredados, soñadores a destiempo, rebeldes sin causa, amantes de lo prohibido, caminantes sin camino... y pretende, sobre todo, contar la historia de otra forma, distinta a la tradicional. …”

“…Incluso durante los episodios de sublevaciones abiertas, el tema de la obediencia regresaba tercamente al centro del debate con el fin de desplazar a la incómoda y deshonrosa categoría de «rebelde», a la que nadie quería adscribirse. Sorprende, por tanto, la facilidad con que hasta hoy hemos osado interpretar algunos de los levantamientos más notables de la Monarquía, como el de las Comunidades en 1520, Flandes en 1566, Cataluña y Portugal en 1640 o Nápoles en 1647, sin antes haber profundizado lo bastante en las teorías de la obediencia que, si bien implícitas en muchos estudios dedicados a estos conflictos, reclaman un espacio propio. …”

“…In this book Uwe Steinhoff describes and explains the basic tenets of just war theory and gives a precise, succinct and highly critical account of its present status and of the most important and controversial current debates surrounding it. Rejecting certain in effect medieval assumptions of traditional just war theory and advancing a liberal outlook, Steinhoff argues that every single individual is a legitimate authority and has under certain circumstances the right to declare war on others or the state. …”

“…Son los primeros en responder a los retos de una sociedad en cambio, y se muestran rebeldes ante la resignación y la mediocridad. Este libro es un interesante viaje por la vida y por la huella imborrable de grandes genios, tanto del mundo del arte (Miguel Ángel, Velázquez...), de la ciencia (Einstein, Newton...), como del mundo empresarial (Steve Jobs), intentando desvelar el misterio de unos hombres y mujeres hechos de barro como los demás mortales pero que destacaron por su talento, su creatividad y su trabajo duro…”

“…He then turns to the current controversies over Pope John Paul II's recent statement, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, which seeks to make Catholic universities conform to the church's official teaching office. O'Brien rejects the conventional "institutional-juridical" model used by the Vatican as improper both to faith and academic freedom. …”
