El Gran Libro de Los Aviones de Combate

Sinopsis del Libro

Since the airplane's invention in 1903, thousands of military aircraft have been designed and hundreds of thousands of have been produced. Drawing widely from that massive group, journalist Paolo Matricardi has fashioned a fascinating history of this deadly weapon of war. This large-format book traces the military aircraft from the early days of the 1911 Italy-Turkey war, when the first bomb was dropped from an airplane, to today's computerized, high-tech models with precision-guided missiles and laser targeting. Author Matricardi discusses such intriguing models as Lockheed's A-12 Oxcart (the world's fastest military aircraft), the English Electric Canberra and Boeing B-52 Stratofortress (both of which have flown for more than five decades and remain in service today), and many other milestone machines. The book provides a lively, informative look at a century of military aviation development, from the U.S. Army purchasing the world's first military aircraft from the Wright Brothers to the bombers and fighters participating in the second Iraq War.

Catalunya ocupada. Crònica de segles d'espoli i usurpació

Resultat d'una àmplia labor de síntesi i relexió històrica. S'inicia amb els Reis Catòlics, amb l'engany del matrimoni de Ferran i Isabel. Un argument prou gruixut per a proposar al lector una primera relexió, que després tindrà continuïtat en els monarques posteriors (Carles I-Carles V; Felip I-Felip II; Felip II de Catalunya-Felip III de Castella...) fins a arribar a la guerra de Successió. A partir d'aquell 1714 ja no hi ha engany: els catalans perden la guerra, són sotmesos i el Decret de Nova Planta deixa ben clares les noves condicions que els són imposades. La darrera part...

La querella de los novelistas

La configuración del pasado, permanentemente en cuestión, entraña una disputa política que nunca se limita a este, sino que atañe también a cómo nos situamos ante el futuro. Este libro analiza la lucha por establecer un relato hegemónico de la historia reciente de España que tuvo lugar a caballo entre los siglos XX y XXI. En ella los novelistas españoles tuvieron un protagonismo muy relevante. La querella sobre la Segunda República, la Guerra Civil y la posguerra conllevó una confrontación en torno al significado de la Transición y su legado. Desde una perspectiva...
