Ciencia, tecnología y sociedad. Abordajes desde Argentina, Brasil y México
Los compiladores de esta obra nos invitan a sumergirnos en algunos temas que la nueva generación de investigadores e investigadoras de los estudios en Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS) han identificado de interés en el ámbito de sus trayectorias académicas. Se trata de una obra que, de manera enérgica pero accesible, aborda tres preguntas centrales: 1) ¿cómo se produce y se práctica el conocimiento científico y tecnológico?; 2) ¿cuáles son los problemas, movimientos y transformaciones ciudadanas que generan la ciencia y la tecnología?; y 3) ¿qué tipo de políticas y agendas se están generando en este campo actualmente? A partir de estudios de caso, las autoras y autores e...
Las Atalayas Del Saber
A partir del estudio de las politicas publicas sobre ciencia y tecnologia en Colombia durante el periodo 1990-2010, el autor analiza su incidencia en la legitimacion del saber cientifico y en las practicas de investigacion. La hipotesis central es que los sistemas nacionales de ciencia, tecnologia e innovacion, en tanto dispositivos de la administracion del conocimiento cientifico, tuvieron como objetivo la institucionalizacion del capitalismo cognitivo (forma contemporanea del capitalismo global); con ello se produjo una transformacion de las practicas cientificas, guiadas ahora por una organizacion de la ciencia desde las logicas del mercado. Si se entiende la investigacion cientifica como la columna vertebral para afrontar los dilemas y problemas humanos, entonces se debe ejercitar y fortalecer esa columna con practicas discursivas y acciones politicas que favorezcan su desarrollo. Pero, como lograr esto?, como establecer politicas y practicas cientificas que permitan que la investigacion se yerga sobre sus cimientos y nutra el cuerpo de las Ciencias?"
Leadoff Batters of Major League Baseball
Every sport has its subtleties, and in baseball, one subtlety is the batting line-up. Leadoff batters can make or break a team. Who are the men who have taken that position, and how have they performed in their important role? From 1900 through 2005, the major leagues' leadoff batters for more than 160,000 games are covered in this reference work. The first of the book's five parts discusses the annual records of the principal leadoff batters. Part Two identifies the principal leadoff batter for each team in each year, as well as the top career leadoff batters. Part Three presents composite statistics for those players with five or more principal leadoff batter seasons. Part Four looks at leadoff home runs, and Part Five offers essays on assorted leadoff batter achievements, such as RBIs, runs scored, and awards and honors. Appended to the text is a discussion of the accuracy of the statistics and a list of "Make It Happen" award winners.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Generalized hypermobility has been known since ancient times, and a clinical description of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is said to have first been recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Hypermobility syndromes occur frequently, but the wide spectrum of possible symptoms, coupled with a relative lack of awareness and recognition, are the reason that they are frequently not recognized, or remain undiagnosed. This book is an international, multidisciplinary guide to hypermobility syndromes, and EDS in particular. It aims to create better awareness of hypermobility syndromes among health professionals, including medical specialists, and to be a guide to the management of such syndromes for patients...
Mexico's Disappeared
"This 176-page report documents nearly 250 "disappearances" during the administration of former President Felipe Calderón, from December 2006 to December 2012. In 149 of those cases, Human Rights Watch found compelling evidence of enforced disappearances, involving the participation of state agents."--Publisher's website.

Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States
Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States is cutting edge research. Garay Salamanca and Salcedo-Albarán, along with their contributing authors help document the transition from economic to political imperatives within transnational drug cartels. The break from the Zetas by La Familia Michoacana is one example contained in their empirical survey. Social Network Analysis is their tool for illuminating the varying dynamics of cartel-state inter-penetration and reconfiguration. In doing so they clearly discern between State Capture (StC) and Co-opted State Reconfiguration (CStR). As the drug wars and criminal insurgencies rage in the Americas and beyond, this seminal framework will facilitate efforts by scholars, law enforcement officials, intelligence analysts and policymakers to understand shifts in sovereignty, and to illuminate the mechanisms of transnational illicit networks and their interaction with the state.
