AK47: The Story of the People's Gun
by Michael HodgesIn the sixty years since General Kalashnikov created the AK's distinctive silhouette, the gun has been at the centre of conflicts across the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The weapon that made him a 'Hero of the Soviet Union' has also appeared on t-shirts and vodka bottles, featured in videos and song lyrics and been re-fashioned in crystal - a gift from Putin to George W. Bush. Power, politics and passion combine in the story of a weapon that has shaped the modern world. Using testimonies of people who have experienced the gun at first-hand - including a Sudanese child soldier, a Vietcong veteran and a Yorkshire teenager - Michael Hodges provides a compelling account of how the AK47 became an icon that ranks alongside Coca-Cola as one of the most recognisable brands in the world.

AMLO en la balanza: De la esperanza a la incertidumbre
by José Antonio CrespoYa es tiempo de hacer un corte de caja. Hace dos años Andrés Manuel López Obrador estaba por ganar la presidencia de la República gracias a promesas que calaron hondo en 30 millones de votantes. Hoy, tras más de un año de gobierno, ¿qué ha cumplido y qué no? Exactamente, ¿cuáles son sus logros?, ¿en qué se ha desviado del proyecto que lo llevó al triunfo? Con datos irrefutables, José Antonio Crespo reconstruye la historia del actual sexenio. Hace la radiografía de Morena, pinta las políticas más criticadas y las más aplaudidas, explica el neocentralismo, los retos de la aplanadora legislativa, las dudas de los mercados financieros y la rápida trasmutación de la gran esperanza en incertidumbre. A la vista de los datos, ¿qué futuro nos espera?
AMLO y la religión: El estado laico bajo amenaza
by Bernardo Barranco Roberto BlancarteLa Iglesia y el Estado han vuelto a sonreírse. La religión ha recuperado protagonismo en la vida política de México. El responsable de ese fenómeno es el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Pese a declararse juarista, el primer mandatario ha difuminado, como ninguno de sus predecesores, la frontera entre lo que es de Dios y lo que es del César: llegó al poder aliado con un partido de origen religioso, ha invitado a Palacio Nacional a líderes y agrupaciones cristianas, ha abierto la puerta de las concesiones televisivas a iglesias evangélicas; defiende políticas de Estado con frases bíblicas y ha pedido a las adscripciones religiosas que distribuyan la Cartilla Moral, documento básico para la llamada Cuarta Transformación. En AMLO y la religión, Roberto Blancarte y Bernardo Barranco, los dos mayores expertos en el tema, diseccionan esta dinámica que puede transformar el balance de poder en México, cambiar el rostro del país y redefinir conceptos como laicidad y separación Iglesia-Estado.
AMLO y la tierra prometida: Análisis del proceso electoral 2018 y lo que viene

Ante esta incertidumbre, once analistas de primera línea ofrecen las explicaciones más informadas y agudas. ¿Qué México recibirá López Obrador? ¿Cómo fueron los comicios que lo llevaron al poder? ¿Qué problemas se padecieron y qué riesgos evidencian? ¿De qué tamaño es la podredumbre del sistema político y qué podemos esperar, por lo tanto? En esta obra, tanto los críticos como los partidarios de AMLO encontrarán los datos precisos y las explicaciones exactas para entender la pasada elección y comprender qué México se nos viene encima.

ANOMALIA ARGENTINA, LA (EBOOK)
by Ricardo ForsterEstas páginas nacieron de las urgencias y de los reclamos de una realidad siempre en movimiento espasmódico, siempre quebrando lo esperado y abriéndose a inquietantes novedades que suelen conmover lo conocido y lo previamente arraigado en el sentido común. Argentina ha sido, y sigue siendo, una anomalía, el largo zigzagueo de un país extraño que suele desbaratar cualquier anticipación o cualquier prejuicio respecto a su itinerario actual o a los modos en los que se desplegó en el pasado. Territorio de incógnitas y de inquietantes sorpresas que ha esquivado con prolijidad los destinos que aparentemente estaban escritos desde sus orígenes en este margen sureño del continente americano. Desde el inesperado conflicto generado por la disputa en torno de la renta agraria, pasando por el histórico debate sobre una nueva ley de medios #que fisuró el bloque hegemónico de la comunicación, desmontando el relato de la corporación mediática#, hasta la importancia de medidas como la reestatización del sistema jubilatorio, la política de derechos humanos, el impulso latinoamericanista o la asignación universal por hijo, con valentía y agudeza Ricardo Forster revisa en estos textos, escritos ante las demandas de intervención pública y las exigencias del combate cultural, los nudos centrales de la historia política nacional de los últimos años.
AOC: Fighter, Phenom, Changemaker
by Prachi Gupta&“We are going to rock the world.&” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Born in the Bronx and raised in the suburbs of Westchester County, New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez witnessed firsthand how a person&’s zip code can shape their destiny. That early exposure to income inequality fueled a passion for change that, in turn, led her to take on—and defeat—a ten-term incumbent to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Now a target for the right, she is an inspiration to millions of millennial voters, women of color, and progressives. A celebratory biography that tells the blow-by-blow account of AOC&’s extraordinary rise from bartender to political rock star, AOC is a compelling look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: who she is, what she stands for, and the movement that she&’s energized.
AOC: The Fearless Rise and Powerful Resonance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
by Lynda LopezWith a preface by Keegan-Michael Key In the vein of Notorious RBG, seventeen writers explore the multiple meanings of a young Latina politician who has already made history.From the moment Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a ten-term incumbent in the primary election for New York’s 14th, her journey to the national, if not world, stage, was fast-tracked. Six months later, as the youngest Congresswoman ever elected, AOC became one of a handful of Latina politicians in Washington, D.C. Just thirty, she represents her generation, the millennials, in many groundbreaking ways: proudly working class, Democratic Socialist, of Puerto Rican descent, master of social media, not to mention of the Bronx, feminist—and a great dancer.AOC investigates her symbolic and personal significance for so many, from her willingness to use her imperfect bi-lingualism, to why men are so threatened by her power, to the long history of Puerto Rican activism that she joins. Contributors span a wide range of voices and ages, from media to the arts and politics:Keegan-Michael Key — PrefaceLynda Lopez — Introduction: "The Meaning of AOC"Jennine Capó Crucet — "An Open Letter to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez"Andrea González-Ramírez — "Women Like Me Aren’t Supposed to Run for Office"Patricia Reynoso — “'The First Latina to . . .'” Pedro Regalado — “'Pa’lante!': The Long History of Puerto Rican Activism in New York City"Rebecca Traister — "The Imagined Threat of a Woman Who Governs Like a Man"Natalia Sylvester — "In No Uncertain Terms"Erin Aubry Kaplan — "The Center Will Not Hold. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Counting on It"Tracey Ross — "A Just Society"Carmen Rita Wong — "Latinas Are So Money"Mariana Atencio — "AOC the Influencer"Wendy Carrillo — "What AOC and I Learned at Standing Rock"Nathan J. Robinson — "The Democratic Socialism of AOC"Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez — "On Being an Indignant Brown Girl"Elizabeth Yeampierre — "Making the Green New Deal the Real Deal"María Cristina “MC” González Noguera — "The Hustle"
