Finalizando ya la segunda década del siglo XXI, las posibilidades de la Educación Mediática no solo no se han visto reducidas, superando debates que, posiblemente, no llevan hoy día a ninguna parte, sino que han determinado el crecimiento de este campo interdisciplinar, enriqueciendo sus opciones presentes y, sobre todo, su futuro. Innovar, adquirir competencias, aprender y enseñar, educar en todo lo relacionado con lo mediático y lo digital, es un reto urgente, una tarea imprescindible para construir un modelo educativo que mire a la realidad social.
La transformación de la tecnología en sinergia con la sociedad hacia la convergencia mediática y los cambios en la manera de entender la comunicación, la información y la educación nos ha puesto a disposición nuevos paradigmas y escenarios de producción, interacción, construcción social y organización cultural. La ubicuidad es un factor de primer orden que propone una nueva visión de la comunicación y de la educación, y que cambia las relaciones entre la juventud, los padres y madres y el profesorado, así como los conceptos generales de educación, comunicación y convivencia.

The region of the skull base was long considered a surgical barrier because of its complex anatomy. With few exceptions, the region immediately beyond the dura or bony skull base constituted a "no man's land" for the surgeon working from the other direction. A major reason for this was the high morbidity associated with operative procedures in that area using traditional dissection techniques. This situation changed with the advent of the operating microscope. Used initially by ear, nose and throat specialists for resective and reconstructive surgery of the petrous bone and parana sal sinuses, the operating microscope was later introduced in other areas, and neurosurgeons began using it in t...

**LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE** 'Exuberant and satirical: this is an angry comedy about Zia's brutal legacy to Pakistan' Observer There is an old saying that when lovers fall out, a plane goes down. This is the story of one such plane. Why did a Hercules C130, the world's sturdiest plane, carrying Pakistan's military dictator General Zia ul Haq, go down on 17 August, 1988? Was it because of: 1.Mechanical failure 2.Human error 3.The CIA's impatience 4.A blind woman's curse 5.Generals not happy with their pension plans 6.The mango season Or could it be your narrator, Ali Shigri? A Case of Exploding Mangoes is sharp, dark, inventive and utterly gripping.
Beautiful and charismatic, the daughter of one of Pakistan's most popular leaders -- Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, hanged by General Zia in 1979 -- Benazir Bhutto is not only the first woman to lead a post-colonial Muslim state, she achieved a status approaching that of a royal princess, only to be stripped of her power in another example of the bitter political in-fighting that has riven her country. From her upbringing in one of Pakistan's richest families, the shock of the contrast of her Harvard and Oxford education, and subsequent politicisation and arrest after her father's death, Bhutto's life has been full of drama. Her riveting autobiography, first published in 1988 and now updated to cover her own activities since then and how her country has changed since being thrust into the international limelight after 9/11, is an inspiring tale of strength, dedication and courage in the face of adversity.
