Violencias y precarización
Los jóvenes de Latinoamérica viven entornos diversos y contradictorios, muchas veces sentados en un proyecto adultocéntrico, heteropatriarcal y racializado, donde se vive violencia de género, violencia institucional, narcotráfico, pobreza y exclusión. En este contexto de precariedad social, esta obra coloca su centro de atención en el relato biográfico de jóvenes en lugares como Ciudad Juárez, México; Córdoba, Argentina, y Santiago, Chile, donde se muestra cómo se articula la experiencia juvenil con estos escenarios sociales. En ese sentido, surgen las preguntas: ¿Desde dónde hablan los jóvenes?, ¿qué particularidades adquiere el lugar desde el cual entretejen sus múltiples experiencias de vida?, que son desmenuzadas en los trabajos aquí presentados.
Searching the Heavens and the Earth
Jesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.

Eight-Track
Eight-Track is composed of eight tracks (or series) plus two bonus tracks, each of which explores one of the various meanings of the word "track," such as a musical track, a physical path, the marks left by a person or animal, speech tracking, animal and human tracking, and systems of surveillance. Questions asked: How can a trace be sonically and visually embodied? What do our systems of surveillance reveal about ourselves? How does language oppress?
Molecular Tools for Screening Biodiversity
Mark Chase There are many literature resources available to molecular biologists wishing to assess genetic variation, but the myriad of techniques and approaches potentially available to the plant breeder and the evolutionary biologist is truly bewildering, and most have never been evaluated side-by-side on the same sets of samples. Additionally, it is often not recognized that tools that are useful for breeders can often be adapted for use in evolutionary studies and vice versa, but this is generally the case. The borderline between population genetics and phylogenetics is vague and difficult to assess, and a combination of both types of tools is best when it is not clear with which area on...

Person-Centred Dementia Care
Exploring issues related to person-centred care for people with dementia, this new edition of a bestselling book shows how to provide care services that enable people to live well. The book looks at working in a person-centred way from diagnosis to end-of-life care, referencing recent developments and applications of the VIPS model.
Broadening the Dementia Debate
Dementia has been widely debated from the perspectives of biomedicine and social psychology. This book broadens the debate to consider the experiences of men and women with dementia from a sociopolitical perspective. It brings to the fore the concept of social citizenship, exploring what it means within the context of dementia and using it to re-examine the issue of rights, status(es), and participation. Most importantly, the book offers fresh and practical insights into how a citizenship framework can be applied in practice. It will be of interest to health and social care professionals, policy makers, academics and researchers and people with dementia and family carers may find it revitalising.
