Spacious Minds

Spacious Minds argues that resilience is not a mere absence of suffering. Sara E. Lewis's research reveals how those who cope most gracefully may indeed experience deep pain and loss. Looking at the Tibetan diaspora, she challenges perspectives that liken resilience to the hardiness of physical materials, suggesting people should "bounce back" from adversity. More broadly, this ethnography calls into question the tendency to use trauma as an organizing principle for all studies of conflict where suffering is understood as an individual problem rooted in psychiatric illness. Beyond simply articulating the ways that Tibetan categories of distress are different from biomedical ones, Spacious Mi...

A Power Stronger Than Itself

Founded in 1965 and still active today, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is an American institution with an international reputation. George E. Lewis, who joined the collective as a teenager in 1971, establishes the full importance and vitality of the AACM with this communal history, written with a symphonic sweep that draws on a cross-generational chorus of voices and a rich collection of rare images. Moving from Chicago to New York to Paris, and from founding member Steve McCall’s kitchen table to Carnegie Hall, A Power Stronger Than Itself uncovers a vibrant, multicultural universe and brings to light a major piece of the history of avant-garde music and art.

Because of the great importance of acid catalysis in the petrochemical industry, extensive research has been carried out during the last 30 years concerning the fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis by acids. In contrast, base-catalyzed reactions have received little attention in heterogeneous catalysis. The aim of this symposium was to evaluate our knowledge of the important area of acid and base catalysis and to cover a broad range of solids, zeolite chemistry being only one aspect of heterogeneous catalysis.

La sociedad que no amaba a las mujeres

¿Qué tienen en común Isabel la Católica, Teresa de Jesús, Clara Campoamor, Frida Khalo y Coco Chanel? Todas fueron mujeres excepcionales y vencieron las trabas de una sociedad que no favorecía el desarrollo de su talento por el mero hecho de ser mujer. Esta obra recoge los perfiles de 60 mujeres que vivieron entre el siglo XIV a. C: y 1978, muchas de ellas grandes desconocidas para el gran público. Todas ellas tenían condición de líderes, pero ejercieron ese liderazgo de manera muy diferente y no siempre de forma positiva. De cada una de ellas se extraen numerosas enseñanzas de completa actualidad para los profesionales de hoy, al margen de su sexo.
