Entendiendo la tierra como el territorio, en esta obra el lector encontrará un análisis de las marcas que deja un paradigma de desarrollo económico, que no tiene en cuenta el bien común y solo prioriza la creación de una supuesta riqueza: afectaciones al medioambiente, violación de derechos humanos, ataques a la población y violencias. La mejora de las condiciones materiales de vida y de los indicadores económicos es una meta legítima, pero, como se recoge en estas páginas, no al precio de pasar por encima del equilibrio socioambiental; no a costa del medioambiente y de las personas.

Most executives have a big, hairy, audacious goal. But they install layers of stultifying bureaucracy that prevent them from realizing it. In this article, Jim Collins introduces the catalytic mechanism, a simple yet powerful managerial tool that helps turn lofty aspirations into reality.

From the highest-ranking Hispanic in congressional history comes an inspiring vision for our country's future. For Senator Bob Menendez, it's about time the truth about Hispanics and their potential in this nation is brought into the spotlight.

With the step-by-step plan that Menendez has devised, the United States' future will be made brighter and more successful precisely because of, not in spite of, the burgeoning influence of the Hispanic population as it "grows its American roots."
