Política y Academia
¿Qué es hoy una producción académica? ¿Bajo qué normas y estatutos se conforma un libro que se supone académico? Plantear estas preguntas es ya sumergirse en problemas propios de lo que ha quedado de la universidad moderna, de lo que es luego de haber sido víctima de un lento pero constante desmantelamiento. Donde, a grandes rasgos, se remplazó el rigor de la problematización por la efectividad del dato; donde, frente a la complejidad del análisis, el funcionamiento de un concepto, se posicionó la estadística, la gráfica, el cálculo y el porcentaje. Sustituciones que no son ajenas a los movimientos propios de una época, pues es claro que la época en la que se constituyó la universidad no es la nuestra y lo que nos va quedando son las trasformaciones que aparecen. Lo que hemos heredado del modelo de universidad moderno responde a otras necesidades, a otros reclamos, a otros intereses, que no se reducen solamente a un nuevo modo de constitución de la universidad, sino que han modificado el estatuto del saber mismo, su legitimidad, su formación y formulación.

Grazing Management
This text considers grazing management from the viewpoint of the ecology of grazing systems and focuses on the interrelationships between plant and animal populations which affect the stability of such systems, and the output of animal products from them. Relates the steps in the production process to the grassy surface characteristics that influence plant and animal behavior and uses these relationships to create a practical framework for management decisions.
Migration and Human Rights
The UN Convention on Migrant Workers' Rights is the most comprehensive international treaty in the field of migration and human rights. Adopted in 1990 and entered into force in 2003, it sets a standard in terms of access to human rights for migrants. However, it suffers from a marked indifference: only forty states have ratified it and no major immigration country has done so. This highlights how migrants remain forgotten in terms of access to rights. Even though their labour is essential in the world economy, the non-economic aspect of migration – and especially migrants' rights – remain a neglected dimension of globalisation. This volume provides in-depth information on the Convention and on the reasons behind states' reluctance towards its ratification. It brings together researchers, international civil servants and NGO members and relies upon an interdisciplinary perspective that includes not only law, but also sociology and political science.
Human Nature and Conduct
"To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness." This insightful treatise on the essential components of human nature by the great American philosopher and educator John Dewey grew from a series of three lectures presented at Leland Stanford Junior University upon the West Memorial Foundation. One of the topics included was Human Conduct and Destiny. In his own words, Dewey has, set forth a belief that an understanding of habit and different types of habit is the key to social psychology, while the operation of impulse and intelligence gives the key to individualized mental activity. Some eighty years after its original publication, Dewe...
Cultivating the Renaissance
By exploring the evolution of the Medici family's villas, Cultivating the Renaissance charts the shifting politics, philosophy and aesthetics of the age and chronicles the rise of an extraordinary family from obscure farmers to European royalty. From the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, the Medici family dominated European life. While promoting both arts and sciences, the Medici helped create a new style of architecture, present a new idea of villa life and promote the novel idea of living in harmony with nature. Used variously for pleasure and sports, scholarly and amorous liaisons, commercial enterprise and botanical experimentation, their villas both expressed and influenced contempo...
