Essays examine how the genre of historia reflects connections between the study of nature and the study of culture in early modern scholarly pursuits. The early modern genre of historia connected the study of nature and the study of culture from the early Renaissance to the eighteenth century. The ubiquity of historia as a descriptive method across a variety of disciplines--including natural history, medicine, antiquarianism, and philology--indicates how closely intertwined these scholarly pursuits were in the early modern period. The essays collected in this volume demonstrate that historia can be considered a key epistemic tool of early modern intellectual practices. Focusing on the actual use of historia across disciplines, the essays highlight a distinctive feature of early modern descriptive sciences: the coupling of observational skills with philological learning, empiricism with erudition. Thus the essays bring to light previously unexamined links between the culture of humanism and the scientific revolution. The contributors, from a range of disciplines that echoes the broad scope of early modern historia, examine such topics as the development of a new interest in historical method from the Renaissance artes historicae to the eighteenth-century tension between "history" and "system"; shifts in Aristotelian thought paving the way for revaluation of historia as descriptive knowledge; the rise of the new discipline of natural history; the uses of historia in anatomical and medical investigation and the writing of history by physicians; parallels between the practices of collecting and presenting information in both natural history and antiquarianism; and significant examples of the ease with which early seventeenth-century antiquarian scholars moved from studies of nature to studies of culture.
As seen in the new movie The Post, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Meryl Streep, here is the captivating, inside story of the woman who piloted the Washington Post during one of the most turbulent periods in the history of American media. In this bestselling and widely acclaimed memoir, Katharine Graham, the woman who piloted the Washington Post through the scandals of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, tells her story - one that is extraordinary both for the events it encompasses and for the courage, candour and dignity of its telling. Here is the awkward child who grew up amid material wealth and emotional isolation; the young bride who watched her brilliant, charismatic husband - a confidant to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson - plunge into the mental illness that would culminate in his suicide. And here is the widow who shook off her grief and insecurity to take on a president and a pressman's union as she entered the profane boys' club of the newspaper business. As timely now as ever, Personal History is an exemplary record of our history and of the woman who played such a shaping role within them, discovering her own strength and sense of self as she confronted - and mastered - the personal and professional crises of her fascinating life.
Para comprender la Historia es uno de los libros fundamentales en la materia escrito por quien fuera uno de los mejores catedráticos en México: Juan Brom En el presente trabajo, cuidadosamente revisado y actualizado, Juan Brom busca "facilitar la comprensión de la Historia a quien desee una visión general y asimismo al que quiera considerar o profundizar en algún aspecto especifico". Ésta es, como todas sus obras, una invitación a reflexionar sobre nuestro pasado y sobre la importancia que éste tiene para entender mejor el mundo actual; para ello nos expone las características de la Historia como disciplina del saber, nos enseña los grandes periodos del desarrollo humano y nos da una visión de las regularidades que pueden desprenderse de su estudio. Este libro es un texto imprescindible para todos aquellos estudiosos de las Ciencias Sociales y para cualquier persona interesada en comprender mejor al ser humano y su historia. Para comprender la Historia tuvo su origen en el curso "Fundamentos de la Historia", que el autor impartió en 1962 en la universidad michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, y de 1965 a 1968 en la Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. Fue publicado en 1972 por la Editorial Nuestro Tiempo, alcanzando ahí, con varias revisiones, un tiraje total de 430.000 ejemplares hasta el año 2002, en que dejó de existir dicha editorial.
As a fitting epilogue to a life intimately linked to Washington, D.C., Pulitzer Prize winner Katharine Graham, the woman who transformed The Washington Post into a paper of record, left behind this lovingly collected anthology of writings about the city she knew and loved, a moving tribute to the nation’s capital. To Russell Banks, it is a place where “no one is in charge and no one, therefore, can be held responsible for the mess.” To John Dos Passos, it is “essentially a town of lonely people.” Whatever your impressions of Washington, D.C., you will likely find them challenged here. Experience Christmas with the Roosevelts, as seen through the eyes of a White House housekeeper. Learn why David McCullough is happy to declare “I love Washington,” while The Washington Post’s Sally Quinn wonders, “Why Do They Hate Washington?” Glimpse David Brinkley’s depiction of the capital during World War II, then experience Henry Kissinger’s thoughts on “Peace at Last,” post-Vietnam. Written by a who’s who of journalists, historians, First Ladies, politicians, and more, these varied works offer a wonderful overview of Katharine Graham’s beloved city.

From Katharine Graham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Personal History, a stirring narrative of how the legendary publisher of the Washington Post became a feminist. With an introduction from her granddaughter, Katharine Weymouth, publisher of the Post until 2014. Katharine Graham was the newspaper mogul who piloted the Washington Post through the crises of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate: but first she had to overcome the harsh expectations of a male-dominated industry, and her harshest critic of all—herself. Inheriting ownership of the paper from her father, and assuming its leadership in 1963 after the death of her husband, Philip, Graham found herself the only woman in a man’s world—a world, however, that was beginning to change. From Georgetown suppers to board meetings, from The Second Sex to Gloria Steinem, this is the refreshingly honest account of how the most powerful woman in Washington came into her own.

Se da la paradoja, en nuestros días, de que nunca ha habido más controversia en torno a la historia, o incluso obsesión por ella, para deformarla, negarla o reinterpretarla; en relación con los monumentos históricos y el contenido de los libros de texto; en forma de proliferación de comisiones de la verdad, museos y exposiciones, y sin embargo nunca ha habido menos inquietud por la "verdad histórica". La historia se ha convertido en nuestros días en un instrumento que cada cual moldea y esgrime a su conveniencia con el fin de blanquear o dar una pátina de seriedad a motivos muy a menudo espúreos. En estas páginas, la prestigiosa historiadora Lynn Hunt reivindica la importancia de esta disciplina, llamada a desempeñar hoy más que nunca un papel crucial como garante de una presentación objetiva de los hechos y como promotora, al mismo tiempo, de un adecuado dimensionamiento de las preocupaciones actuales, de una actitud crítica hacia el chauvinismo y de la apertura hacia otros pueblos y culturas.
