Salud pública en Tamaulipas: hacia la construcción de un enfoque integral y multidisciplinario con perspectiva social
La salud pública es el punto de encuentro entre lo biológico y lo social, pues toda población atraviesa por procesos de salud que se determinan por el contexto histórico de la vida en sociedad, esto desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte. En el ámbito de la ciencia la salud pública representa un espacio para la confluencia de múltiples disciplinas que dan cuenta de los procesos biológicos y sociales de las poblaciones humanas (Frenk, 2000). Este libro se sitúa en las confluencias del conocimiento histórico, social y cultural, es decir, en ese traslape en donde se especifican no solo las necesidades de salud entre la población, sino también las respuestas sociales a estas demandas. La literatura indica que la visión clásica de la salud pública –como disciplina científica– ha sido la encargada de estudiar el proceso de salud-enfermedad en un nivel de análisis poblacional a partir de perseguir dos objetivos: i) el estudio de las condiciones de salud abordado por el enfoque epidemiológico y ii) la respuesta social a estas condiciones abordado por el estudio de los sistemas de salud.
TEMAS SELECTOS DEL CONSTITUCIONALISMO TAMAULIPECO
El derecho constitucional es la base de la estructura de un Estado nacional; por ello, la importancia de su conocimiento, máxime si la evolución de la sociedad genera nuevas inquietudes que se reflejan de inmediato en la organización estatal. Y es que la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos determina que la soberanía reside en el pueblo; es decir, le corresponde decidir libremente su forma de gobierno. El Estado Constitucional de Derecho es el prototipo ideal de nación; un Estado donde su máxima normativa sea la constitucional, pero auténtica, con división de poderes y respeto a los derechos humanos, tal y como lo consideró la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente Franc...
Crying in the Bathroom
“Equal parts pee-your-pants hilarity and break your heart poignancy- like the perfect brunch date you never want to end!"--America Ferrera, Emmy award-winning actress in Ugly Betty From the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, an utterly original memoir-in-essays that is as deeply moving as it is disarmingly funny Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the ‘90s, Erika L. Sánchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy and dreamed of an unlikely life as a poet. Twenty-five years later, she’s now an award-winning no...
The Things We've Seen
Written in three parts, War Trilogy is a dazzling and anarchic exploration of social relations which offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of humanity, history, violence, art and science. The first part follows a writer who travels to the small, uninhabited island of San Simon, where he witnesses events which impel him on a journey across several continents, chasing the phantoms of nameless people devastated by violence. The second book is narrated by Kurt, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on their mythical first voyage to the moon. Now living in Miami, an ageing Kurt revisits the important chapters of his life: from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In the third part, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the Normandy coast with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, the memory of another trip taken years before. On her journey along the rugged coastline, she comes across a number of locals, but also thousands of refugees newly arrived on Europe's shores, whose stories she follows on the TV in her lodgings.
The Silence of Scheherazade
September 1905. At the heart of the Ottoman Empire, in the ancient city of Smyrna, Scheherazade is born to an opium-dazed mother. At the very same moment, an Indian spy sails into the golden-hued, sycamore-scented city with a secret mission from the British Empire. When he leaves, 17 years later, it will be to the smell of kerosene and smoke as the city, and its people, are engulfed in flames. Told through the intertwining fates of a Levantine, a Greek, a Turkish and an Armenian family, this unforgettable novel reveals a city, and a culture, now lost to time. 'Fiercely intelligent, finely textured and achingly beautiful' Elif Shafak 'Utterly delightful' Buki Papillon 'This rich tale of love ...

Lessons on Expulsion
An award-winning and hard-hitting new voice in contemporary American poetry The first time I ever came the light was weak and carnivorous. I covered my eyes and the night cleared its dumb throat. I heard my mother wringing her hands the next morning. Of course I put my underwear on backwards, of course the elastic didn't work. What I wanted most at that moment was a sandwich. But I just nursed on this leather whip. I just splattered my sheets with my sadness. —from “Poem of My Humiliations” “What is life but a cross / over rotten water?” Poet, novelist, and essayist Erika L. Sánchez’s powerful debut poetry collection explores what it means to live on both sides of the border—t...
