Infancia expuesta y maternidad en la inclusa palentina a los largo del Antiguo Régimen
Esta investigación pretende acercar al lector al mundo de la marginación infantil —abandonados, asesinados, maltratados y objeto de numerosos abusos—, la maternidad y los afectos en Castilla durante la Edad Moderna. Tres realidades profundamente imbricadas entre sí que, analizadas e interpretadas de manera conjunta, permiten apreciar continuidades y disrupciones dentro de los procesos de mentalidad y sociabilidad propios del siglo XVIII. Así, vamos a atestiguar las vivencias de mujeres y niños. De mujeres que, inmersas en un sistema patriarcal que tendía a minusvalorar su capacidad intelectual, se encargaban de amamantar, criar e instruir moralmente a los individuos más jóvenes, ...
Deported to Death
What happens to migrants after they are deported from the United States and dropped off at the Mexican border, often hundreds if not thousands of miles from their hometowns? In this eye-opening work, Jeremy Slack foregrounds the voices and experiences of Mexican deportees, who frequently become targets of extreme forms of violence, including migrant massacres, upon their return to Mexico. Navigating the complex world of the border, Slack investigates how the high-profile drug war has led to more than two hundred thousand deaths in Mexico, and how many deportees, stranded and vulnerable in unfamiliar cities, have become fodder for drug cartel struggles. Like no other book before it, Deported to Death reshapes debates on the long-term impact of border enforcement and illustrates the complex decisions migrants must make about whether to attempt the return to an often dangerous life in Mexico or face increasingly harsh punishment in the United States.
The Shadow of the Wall
Thanks to hundreds of interviews with Mexican deportees, this book puts a real face on discussions of immigration and border policies--Provided by publisher.
Vistiendo al rey. Indumentaria, artesanos y trayectorias sociales en la corte de los Austrias (1598-1700)
Vistiendo al rey es una obra que no se centra en los grandes personajes históricos que han acaparado la atención de la mayoría de las investigaciones. Sus protagonistas son los sastres, bordadores, zapateros y todos aquellos encargados de confeccionar el vestuario de los reyes hispánicos durante el siglo XVII. A partir de la Historia del Arte y de aplicar una metodología metapictórica junto con la Historia Social y la Historia de la Familia como perspectiva de investigación, el objetivo es profundizar en el conocimiento de un grupo escasamente conocido por la historiografía como eran los artesanos de la corte. Entre otros aspectos llamativos, se han estudiado desde el trabajo y las remuneraciones obtenidas por estos trabajadores del rey hasta dónde vivían, con quién y qué atesoraban en sus casas, para atender especialmente sus trayectorias vitales y familiares.

Current Advances for Development of Functional Foods Modulating Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Current Advances for Development of Functional Foods Modulating Inflammation and Oxidative Stress presents the nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Specifically, analytical approaches for the characterization of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of healthy foods and functional constituents, as well as technological strategies for the extraction of compounds and fractions from raw materials to produce anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients are addressed. In addition, the molecular mechanisms by which foods and their components can modulate inflammation and their oxidative stress effects on disease prevention are explored. Finally, clinical research addressing nutritional needs in pathological subjects with inflammatory diseases are considered. - Covers methods of analysis and extraction of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds - Offers an overview of the main anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds in foods - Provides a guide on the mechanisms of action and health benefits of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant dietary bioactives
