Enseñanzas del derecho: conceptos y contextos reúne textos introductorios que responden a contenidos complejos de la enseñanza y puesta en marcha del derecho, los cuales servirán de base para que el lector se familiarice con distintas discusiones contemporáneas de esta disciplina, sus conceptos principales y los contextos jurídicos en los que son aplicables. En los diferentes capítulos se presentan los cambios en el aprendizaje del derecho, así como las herramientas que atienden a sus complejas discusiones teóricas, a los procesos de globalización e internacionalización que impactan en los ordenamientos jurídicos, al fomento del pensamiento crítico y a la apertura del derecho a la interacción con otros saberes y disciplinas. Así, los lectores podrán introducirse en estas temáticas que fortalecerán tanto el proceso de aprendizaje como la enseñanza del derecho.

This book highlights the results from over a year of ethnobotanical research in a rural and an urban community in Jamaica, where we interviewed more than 100 people who use medicinal plants for healthcare. The goal of this research was to better understand patterns of medicinal plant knowledge, and to find out which plants are used in consensus by local people for a variety of illnesses. For this book, we selected 25 popular medicinal plant species mentioned during fieldwork. Through individual interviews, we were able to rank plants according to their frequency of mention, and categorized the medicinal uses for each species as “major” (mentioned by more than 20% of people in a community) or “minor” (mentioned by more than 5%, but less than 20% of people). Botanical identification of plant specimens collected in the wild allowed for cross-linking of common and scientific plant names. To supplement field research, we undertook a comprehensive search and review of the ethnobotanical and biomedical literature. Our book summarizes all this information in detail under specific sub-headings.
One of two self-contained volumes belonging to the newly revised Steel Heat Treatment Handbook, Second Edition, this book examines the behavior and processes involved in modern steel heat treatment applications. Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies presents the principles that form the basis of heat treatment processes while incorporating detailed descriptions of advances emerging since the 1997 publication of the first edition. Revised, updated, and expanded, this book ensures up-to-date and thorough discussions of how specific heat treatment processes and different alloy elements affect the structure and the classification and mechanisms of steel transformation, distortion of properties of steel alloys. The book includes entirely new chapters on heat-treated components, and the treatment of tool steels, stainless steels, and powder metallurgy steel components. Steel Heat Treatment: Metallurgy and Technologies provides a focused resource for everyday use by advanced students and practitioners in metallurgy, process design, heat treatment, and mechanical and materials engineering.
