By the mid-nineteenth century, efforts to modernize and industrialize Mexico City had the unintended consequence of exponentially increasing the risk of fire while also breeding a culture of fear. Through an array of archival sources, Anna Rose Alexander argues that fire became a catalyst for social change, as residents mobilized to confront the problem. Advances in engineering and medicine soon fostered the rise of distinct fields of fire-related expertise while conversely, the rise of fire-profiteering industries allowed entrepreneurs to capitalize on crisis.City on Fire demonstrates that both public and private engagements with fire risk highlight the inequalities that characterized Mexican society at the turn of the twentieth century.

Eine Russin, die in Moskau und Berlin studierte und seit 1995 in Deutschland lebt. Sie beobachtet Deutsche und Russen genau, studiert, wie ihre Landsleute miteinander umgehen und warum sie sich so verhalten. Anna Rose erzählt über den Umgang von Russen mit Russen, von Deutschen mit Deutschen, aber insbesondere über den Umgang von Deutschen mit Russen und umgekehrt. Privat wie auch politisch. Sie analysiert hintergründig, warum das aktuelle Verhältnis zwischen Deutschland und Russland so schlecht ist. Offen schreibt sie über menschliche wie politische Probleme, kritisch und zugleich mit Zuneigung. Sie erzählt über Ostler und Westler, über Migranten und Ausländer, über Moslems und Christen, über einfache Leute und abgehobene Intellektuelle - in beiden Ländern. Dabei erklärt sie auch die Politik und die offiziellen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Russland. In erhellenden Episoden macht sie individuelle Charaktere, nationale Prägungen und Verhaltensmuster deutlich. Sie erhebt keine Vorwürfe und verzichtet auf Schuldzuweisungen, aber sie sagt auch: Beide Seiten sind an dem aktuellen Zustand beteiligt, Moskau wie Berlin. Anna Rose informiert und unterhält, sie plaudert, ohne sich zu verplauschen. Eigentlich ist das Buch eine Liebeserklärung an das deutsche wie auch das russische Volk, und es schwingt die Hoffnung zwischen den Zeilen mit, dass der gegenwärtige Zustand der wechselseitigen Abneigung überwunden werden kann. Bei aller Skepsis ist sie dennoch optimistisch.
