Basada en hechos reales, Amelio, mi coronel rescata del olvido a uno de los personajes más apasionantes y singulares de la revolución mexicana, quien con rebeldía rompió los moldes de la época. Una novela que nos recuerda que el destino se forja, aunque sea a balazos. A los veintiún años, con enaguas y rebozo, Malaquías Amelia de Jesús se unió al Ejército Libertador del Sur, en compañía de la Casimira, la pistola de su amado y difunto padre, y de ese espíritu voluntarioso que tanto le caracterizó. Fue ahí, en el campo de batalla, entre muertes y desplazamientos, pero también entre amores y victorias, donde encontró la fuerza para gritar su nombre: ¡Ameno! Admirado y respetado por generales, capitanes e incluso por la tropa, Amelio Robles luchó junto a notables revolucionarios: Chon Díaz, Heliodoro Castillo, Adrián Castrejón y, por supuesto, Emiliano Zapata. Ya como coronel, dirigió más de quinientos soldados, luchando contra el enemigo, así como contra aquellos que cuestionaban su identidad. Escrita con maestría y ritmo poético por el ganador del Premio de Novela Histórica Grijalbo-Claustro de Sor Juana 2019, Ignacio Casas, Amelio, mi coronel es una obra repleta de pasajes emocionantes, un homenaje a la vida que uno elige

YoungThroughout its history, Mississippi has seen a small, steady stream of immigrants, and those identities-sometimes submerged, sometimes hidden-have helped shape the state in important ways. Amid renewed interest in identity, the Mississippi Humanities Council has commissioned a companion volume to its earlier book that studied ethnicity in the state from the period 1500-1900. This new book, Ethnic Heritage in Mississippi: The Twentieth Century, offers stories of immigrants overcoming obstacles, immigrants newly arrived, and long-settled groups witnessing a revitalized claim to membership. The book examines twentieth-century immigration trends, explores the reemergence of ethnic identity, and undertakes case studies of current ethnic groups. Some of the groups featured in the volume include Chinese, Latino, Lebanese, Jewish, Filipino, South Asian, and Vietnamese communities. The book also examines Biloxi as a city that has long attracted a diverse population and takes a look at the growth in identity affiliation among people of European descent. The book is funded in part by a "We the People" grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities

This volume surveys the burst of political imagination that created multiple Enlightenment cultures in an era widely understood as an age of democratic revolutions. Enlightenment as precursor to liberal democratic modernity was once secular catechism for generations of readers. Yet democracy did not elicit much enthusiasm among contemporaries, while democracy as a political system remained virtually nonexistent through much of the period. If seventeenth- and eighteenth-century ideas did underwrite the democracies of succeeding centuries, they were often inheritances from monarchical governments that had encouraged plural structures of power competition. But in revolutions across France, Britain, and North America, the republican integration of constitutional principle and popular will established rational hope for public happiness. Nevertheless, the tragic clashes of principle and will in fraught revolutionary projects were also democratic legacies. Each chapter focuses on a distinct theme: sovereignty; liberty and the rule of law; the "common good"; economic and social democracy; religion and the principles of political obligation; citizenship and gender; ethnicity, race, and nationalism; democratic crises, revolutions, and civil resistance; international relations; and the transformations of sovereignty-a synoptic survey of the cultural entanglements of "enlightenment" and "democracy."

"Billionaires, Boris Johnson, big tech monopolies, raging inequality, Russian oligarchs, cancel culture, superyachts, spaceships to Mars, Twitter wars, a potentially devastating global inflation crisis… These may seem like entirely disparate issues, but they are all connected. Not for many generations has the world been brimming with this level of uncertainty, whether it's a virus scouring the planet, the threat of nuclear war in Europe or the unravelling of political lies in yet another government scandal. 'The Age of Menace' pulls these apparently disconnected strands together, illuminating the driving forces that have led us to this unique and chaotic point in human history."--Publisher's description

Drucker und Multifunktionsgeräte sind komplexe Geräte mit diversen Funktionen und werden im Arbeitsumfeld täglich eingesetzt. Mit diesem Leitfaden werden Geräte identifiziert, die sich durch einen geringen Energieverbrauch auszeichnen und einen Beitrag zu ⁠Klimaschutz⁠ leisten. Durch eine langlebige Konstruktion und den Einsatz von Rezyklatkunststoffen tragen sie zur Ressourcenschonung bei. Es kommen schadstoffarme Materialien zum Einsatz und gesundheitsschädliche Emissionen wie Lärm und Feinstaub, die von den Geräten ausgehen können, werden reduziert. Der Leitfaden basiert auf den Kriterien des Umweltzeichens Blauer Engel für Bürogeräte mit Druckfunktion (DE-UZ 219, Ausgabe Januar 2021).
