Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-02 00:00:00 Stephen Rice Una magistral explicación de la historia del Ecuador vista desde la perspectiva sociológica. Con una síntesis útil, Hurtado muestra su erudición y su aguda explicación de los diversos procesos en los que el poder político ha sometido a vaivenes al Ecuador. Desde la Colonia hasta la República, explicando el Ecuador Hacienda o el influido por los caudillos -un sino eterno de un país adicto a ellos- Hurtado demuestra el porqué este libro es un clásico con una veintena de reimpresiones. Lectura recomendada para todo aquel que quiera entender muchos porqués del Ecuador de hoy.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-28 00:00:00 John Bench From the point of view of a prospective police cadet, it was a highly beneficial read. It provides an insight into what the job of a police patrolman entails (from observances of a sociologist/philosopher supplemented with interviews with several actual officers), into different personal styles of policing and attitudes toward it. It tries to identify and describe a desirable, "professional", policing attitude based on behavior of the exemplary interviewed officers, as well as the various ways it can be less than ideal - avoiding, cynical, aggressive. The book also hints at the character traits and world views of the "professional", exemplary officers - here I would have liked to see the book to go into greater depth.
