Download or read book Watering the Revolution written by Mikael D. Wolfe and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Watering the Revolution Mikael D. Wolfe transforms our understanding of Mexican agrarian reform through an environmental and technological history of water management in the emblematic Laguna region. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico and the United States, Wolfe shows how during the long Mexican Revolution (1910-1940) engineers’ distribution of water paradoxically undermined land distribution. In so doing, he highlights the intrinsic tension engineers faced between the urgent need for water conservation and the imperative for development during the contentious modernization of the Laguna's existing flood irrigation method into one regulated by high dams, concrete-lined canals, and motorized groundwater pumps. This tension generally resolved in favor of development, which unintentionally diminished and contaminated the water supply while deepening existing rural social inequalities by dividing people into water haves and have-nots, regardless of their access to land. By uncovering the varied motivations behind the Mexican government’s decision to use invasive and damaging technologies despite knowing they were ecologically unsustainable, Wolfe tells a cautionary tale of the long-term consequences of short-sighted development policies.

Download or read book Insolaci n Historia amorosa written by Graham Whittaker and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emilia Pardo Bazán, the most prolific and influential Spanish female writer of the nineteenth century, was a very controversial figure, vilified for her embracement of naturalism and her robust feminist stance. When Insolación was published in 1889 it provoked a litany of negative comments and personal insults. This subtle, psychological novel, drawing on many aspects of its author's personal life, deals with the relationship between Asís, a respectable Galician widow, and Pacheco, a feckless womaniser from Andalucía. Although they scarcely know each other, Asís accepts Pacheco's invitation to visit the San Isidro Fair, where a heady cocktail of sun, alcohol and revelry causes her to behave in an uncharacteristic manner. Insolación explores the conflict between Asís's self-recrimination and concern for the 'qué dirán' and her nascent sexuality. Finally, despite her determination to banish Pacheco from her mind and her intention to go back to Galicia, the couple sleep together and decide to marry. The perceived promiscuity of this work of fiction scandalised the reading public as well as many leading critics. Pereda considered Asís's behaviour reprehensible and Clarín dismissed the novel as a pseudo-erotic boutade. Nowadays, Insolación is recognised as an important novel.

Download or read book La Historia written by Ing Julio a. Ruiz Ram Rez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mucho se ha escrito de la Escuela Náutica de Mazatlán y referente al egregio marino "Capitán de Altura Antonio Gómez Maqueo"; un poco aquí, otro tanto más allá. La investigación del Ing. Julio Alfonso Ruiz Ramírez contabiliza abundantes horas en entrevistas con marinos de todas las edades y estratos sociales, revisión de viejas y gastadas hojas en el archivo municipal, registros de las sesiones del cabildo de antaño en busca de pistas sobre fechas, y búsquedas que dieran mayor luz a la fundación de la escuela o sobre el siempre evasivo pasado del capitán. Su pesquisa incluyó visitas a los cementerios, incluso viajes: a México y al lugar de nacimiento del marino, oriundo de Orizaba; todo ello para perfilar mejor sus rasgos y personalidad. Hurgar en el pasado es difícil, y más cuando los coterráneos de la persona investigada pasaron a mejor vida. El trabajo que emprendió Julio es con la finalidad de dejar la menor cantidad de lagunas posibles y poder así sacar a relucir los pormenores de su amada escuela y del marino que tanto tuvo que ver en su reapertura y fortalecimiento. Su compendio es un registro ameno cuya intención es la de poder llegar a los lectores interesados en descubrir las fases de la fundación de su alma mater y de conocer mejor a la persona que la consolidó. Es un libro valiosoque merece ser escudriñado cuantas veces sea necesario. Ing. Jorge A. Holcombe Isunza
