Social Innovation as Political Transformation
This book is an introduction to the works of a collective of academics on social innovation and socio-political transformation. It offers a critique of the dominance of market-based logics and extractivism in the age of neoliberalism. Calling for systemic change, the authors invite the reader to engage in the analysis and practice of socially innovative initiatives and, by doing so, contribute to the co-construction of a sustainable, solidarity-based and regenerative society.
Estética y sistemas abiertos
Este libro, editado por Iliana Hernández García y Raúl Niño Bernal, presenta una lectura de la ciudad desde dos vertientes de la estética por fronteras del conocimiento de procesos no lineales: la vertiente de sistemas y complejidad y la de una convergencia teórica de varias ciencias y artes. Diversos autores aportan miradas en campos como las heurísticas computacionales, la economía de lo informal, la habitabilidad de lo público, los performances artísticos, el artmedia, la cultura y la música. De esta manera participan en el debate sobre la cotidianidad, la complejidad y la sostenibilidad de las ciudades para elaborar una re exión sobre las inestabilidades de las sociedades, la indeterminación y los sistemas abiertos. Distintas exploraciones conceptuales se reúnen en torno a la Estética como lugar de vínculos inéditos entre distintas prácticas y campos de conocimiento. Así, los textos aquí reunidos presentan una visión interdisciplinaria para comprender la ciudad como un macroorganismo vivo, en el cual interactúan la habitabilidad, los fenómenos vivos de la cultura, la ciencia y la tecnología.

Political Change through Social Innovation
This book addresses the key question of why socially innovative initiatives, including attempts to rejuvenate democracy by introducing new modes of participation, are not leading to a democratization of the State or overcoming the gap between political leaders and people. Offering insights from three leading voices of contemporary social sciences to address the failures of contemporary democracies, the book explores the potentialities of progressive socio-political agendas, strategies, and movements seeking to overcome these failures.
Our Lady of Controversy
Months before Alma López's digital collage Our Lady was shown at the Museum of International Folk Art in 2001, the museum began receiving angry phone calls from community activists and Catholic leaders who demanded that the image not be displayed. Protest rallies, prayer vigils, and death threats ensued, but the provocative image of la Virgen de Guadalupe (hands on hips, clad only in roses, and exalted by a bare-breasted butterfly angel) remained on exhibition. Highlighting many of the pivotal questions that have haunted the art world since the NEA debacle of 1988, the contributors to Our Lady of Controversy present diverse perspectives, ranging from definitions of art to the artist's inten...
Handbook of Solid Phase Microextraction
The relatively new technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) is an important tool to prepare samples both in the lab and on-site. SPME is a "green" technology because it eliminates organic solvents from analytical laboratory and can be used in environmental, food and fragrance, and forensic and drug analysis. This handbook offers a thorough background of the theory and practical implementation of SPME. SPME protocols are presented outlining each stage of the method and providing useful tips and potential pitfalls. In addition, devices and fiber coatings, automated SPME systems, SPME method development, and In Vivo applications are discussed. This handbook is essential for its discussion of the latest SPME developments as well as its in depth information on the history, theory, and practical application of the method. - Practical application of Solid Phase Microextraction methods including detailed steps - Provides history of extraction methods to better understand the process - Suitable for all levels, from beginning student to experienced practitioner
Food Safety Culture
Food safety awareness is at an all time high, new and emerging threats to the food supply are being recognized, and consumers are eating more and more meals prepared outside of the home. Accordingly, retail and foodservice establishments, as well as food producers at all levels of the food production chain, have a growing responsibility to ensure that proper food safety and sanitation practices are followed, thereby, safeguarding the health of their guests and customers. Achieving food safety success in this changing environment requires going beyond traditional training, testing, and inspectional approaches to managing risks. It requires a better understanding of organizational culture and ...
