Hartford
This third volume of Hartford continues the celebration and remembrance of Connecticut's capital that was started with Wilson H. Faude's first two highly successful volumes on the history of the city. This new volume features the hitherto unavailable collection of the city's evening newspaper, the Hartford Times. This third trip into Hartford's past takes us into the lives and celebrations of the city's residents. The fascinating images bring us into Hartford's unique celebrations, including Discovery Day and the Tobacco Festival. We also get a glimpse of how the city's residents interpreted traditional holidays, with photographs depicting St. Patrick's Day revelry and shoppers braving holiday retail madness. As you peruse the pages, remember the Times Carol Sing and the Times Camp; remember when presidential hopefuls spoke from the city's portico, vying for Hartford's support. It is all here in Arcadia Publishing's third volume of Hartford.
Innovación y Tendencias Educativas: un camino hacia las nuevas formas de aprendizaje
Vivimos en una sociedad en constante evolución ya sea por los cambios políticos, sociales o económicos. No es necesario indicar que todo esto repercute en todos los sectores de la sociedad pero pensamos que muy especialmente en la educación. Desde diferentes sectores se está demandando un cambio de modelo pedagógico de las instituciones que responda a las demandas de la nueva sociedad del conocimiento, apuntando hacia una mayor transformación, flexibilización y personalización del aprendizaje. Esto implica, de un lado, innovar en la práctica, cultura y organización de las instituciones educativas dando mayor protagonismo a las tecnologías digitales emergentes y, de otro, reducir la desigualdad y la exclusión social que puedan sucederse en cualquiera de sus formas. Enmarcado en este escenario nos hemos propuesto dar voz a los profesionales que actualmente están investigando a nivel nacional e internacional sobre estas nuevas tendencias educativas, dando a conocer las múltiples experiencias desarrolladas.

Identity And Power
On the surface, identity politics appears to promote polarization. To the contrary, political scientist Jose E. Cruz argues that, instead, fragmentation and instability are more likely to occur only when the differences are ignored and nonethnic strategies are employed. Cruz illustrates his claim by focusing on one group of Puerto Ricans and how they mobilized to demand accountability from political leaders in Hartford, Connecticut. The activities of the Puerto Rican Political Action Committee from 1983 to 1991 illustrate the power of ethnic mobilization and strategy in an urban setting. Cruz examines their insistence on their right to be included in the political process in the context of b...

Luis Meléndez
Luis Meléndez (1715-1780) is today recognized as the premier still-life painter in eighteenth-century Spain, indeed one of the greatest in all of Europe. He is widely heralded for his virtuoso paintings of everyday objects rendered with exacting detail, marvelous effects of color and light, and subtle variations in texture. Featuring paintings from collections worldwide, this lavishly illustrated book showcases thirty-one still lifes by Meléndez, among them several previously unpublished works. Individual painting entries incorporate fascinating technical images along with close-up reproductions.
