Analytical articles from varying authors explore, among other topics, the nature of the U.S. colonial regime, the role of the church, conflicts with national minorities, the situation of labor, peasants and women, and U.S. policy, as well as prospects for the future. Documentary selections in this "Philippines Reader" come from such diverse sources as the CIA and the State Department; U.S. Presidents McKinley and Reagan; Philippine leaders Aguinaldo and Aquino; Philippine nationalist and left organizations such as the Anti-Base Coalition, Bayan, Kaakbay, and the New People's Army; and U.S. opponents of foreign intervention. The editors introduce, explain, and tie together over eighty readings making this the most complete introduction available on events in the Philippines.

Todo el Renacimiento gira obsesivamente en torno a la búsqueda de lo específicamente humano. Una indagación sobre el hombre, su pensamiento, su sentido, su propia materialidad. Por ello el retrato -y no sólo lo que estrictamente se entiende por tal, sino también los cientos de representaciones humanas que figuran en los frescos y en las grandes pinturas religiosas-, ocupa un lugar central en las preocupaciones de sus artistas, orfebres, pintores y escultores .... A través del estudio ya clásico de John Pope-Hennesy podemos descubrir algunas de las claves de lo que fue aquel nuevo humanismo renacentista, un nuevo mundo, una nueva visión.

Conoce, a través de un relato sencillo y condensado, la historia de una de las corrientes artísticas más importantes de la humanidad. Una visión amena del Renacimiento, sustentada por los comentarios de un prestigioso especialista en el tema. El Renacimiento goza de un lugar especial en nuestro imaginario, y sus grandes héroes siguen siendo los nuestros: desde Miguel Ángel y Leonardo da Vinci hasta Dante y Chaucer. Este periodo, y la inmensa evolución en el pensamiento europeo que lo definió, hizo que Occidente transitara del Medievo a la Modernidad, y produjo una efusión insólita de creación artística. Pero, ¿qué es el Renacimiento? Paul Johnson lo responde en esta obra maestra. Nos explica los avances económicos, tecnológicos y sociales que conformaron el telón de fondo de los logros de la época. También estudia la vida y obra de sus figuras más importantes. Con una fuerza narrativa inusitada, El Renacimiento es también una meditación universal acerca de las fuentes de innovación.
