Tres décadas después de haber dejado el gobierno, el Dr. Luis Alberto Lacalle Herrera presenta en este libro una mirada reflexiva y cuestionadora sobre sus años como presidente. Con la perspectiva que otorgan los años, el autor nos invita a recordar una epoca crucial de nuestra historia contemporanea. A partir de una solida construccion teorica y unos principios bien asentados, el Partido Nacional accedio al poder despues de un largo periodo, y su gestion tuvo que enfrentar no pocos desafios. Este libro da cuenta de los logros obtenidos, pero no rehuye los aspectos conflictivos de aquellos años: las crisis bancarias, el caso Berrios, los sucesos ocurridos en el hospital Filtro, entre otros.Un texto apasionado, valiente y comprometido, que propone una mirada inquisitiva a nuestra identidad como sociedad, para reflexionar sobre hechos que aun forman parte del presente. La dedicacion y entrega que el Dr. Lacalle Herrera puso en su labor como gobernante se reflejan en cada pagina, dando cuenta de su profundo compromiso con el pais. Su ambicion era, al finalizar su gestion, entregar "un pais mejor". Este libro es testimonio de ese esfuerzo.

Despite the doubts about the representability of the Holocaust, thousands of works of art and visual artifacts were created by prisoners in Nazi camps and ghettos during and immediately after the Holocaust. Yet, both art historians and historians rarely dealt with them for decades. Because of their mostly figurative language, researchers and memory institutions often reduced such images to the status of spiritual and political resistance, praised their artistic quality, or consulted them as illustrations of "how it was". But these images do not speak for themselves, they require analysis. In this volume, 19 international scholars, curators, and educators explore the potential of analytical approaches to drawings, albums, paintings, and prints created by victims and witnesses of the Nazi regime. They consolidate current approaches to these multifaceted objects and take the images seriously as images.

In the history of the European Communities, a declaration on European identity was adopted for the first time at the Copenhagen Summit in December 1973.

After a short introduction, the book examines the background of the declaration, the role played by the founding member states, the states of the Northern enlargement (Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom), the Council of Europe, the European Council summit itself, and the European Court of Justice.
