Contradicciones de un proyecto reformista (Siglo XXI, Madrid, 1988); Madrid en la Época Moderna. Espacio, Sociedad y cultura (UAM, Madrid, 1991); and Madrid. Atlas histórico de la ciudad, siglos IX-XIX (Lunwerg, Barcelona, 1995). He has been the advisor and director of a number of PhD’s and research projects on Madrid and its hinterland during the early modern age, most recently one entitled Energía y Economía en Madrid, siglos XVI-XIX. His study of the transport system and the structuring of the Spanish territory has contributed two books which are unquestionable references: El sistema de transportes en España, 1750-1850 (Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos, 2 vols, Turner, Madrid, 1984); and La Edad de Oro de las diligencias. Madrid y el tráfico de viajeros en España antes del ferrocarril (Nerea, Madrid, 1991). He is now engaged in research work on social conflicts and banditry, being governmental corruption and delinquency in early-modern Spain the subject of his latest book Estado débil, ladrones poderosos. Historia de un peculado en el siglo XVIII (Libros de la Catarata, Madrid, 2000).
