Ante el despojo y la muerte. Las resistencias guardianas de vida (ReVisión Universitaria)
Este libro se analizan los discursos principales en los que se manifiesta la visión del campo de Bourdieu, tanto de quienes lo dominan y justifican las prácticas extractivistas, como de quienes resisten y denuncian el despojo reivindicando otra manera de vivir. Asimismo, se examinan las principales estrategias hegemónicas con respecto al cambio climático, el papel del conocimiento en la universidad neoliberal y las oposiciones académicas a dichos proyectos.

La impunidad activa en México. Cómo entender y enfrentar las violaciones masivas a los derechos humanos
México enfrenta una severa crisis en materia de derechos humanos, caracterizada por numerosos casos de ejecuciones extrajudiciales y por la práctica sistemática y generalizada de la desaparición forzada y la tortura, entre otros tipos de violaciones que ocurren en un marco de prácticamente absoluta impunidad. La ausencia de responsabilidad individual penal y del castigo correspondiente para los perpetradores establece y fortalece un contexto institucional en el que el delito y las violaciones a los derechos humanos se reproducen sin ningún tipo de contrapeso, incentivando su repetición sistemática. Mediante el análisis detallado de una serie de casos, este informe ofrece evidencia q...
Resistencias reflexivas (Xipe totek 111)
En la primera parte artículo se expone brevemente algunas de las ideas de Alfonso Ibáñez en torno a la importancia de las utopías en el panorama sociopolítico de América Latina. El artículo da cuenta de las conclusiones y hallazgos de la investigación sobre el campo de las y los defensores de los derechos humanos en México. Por un lado, se recoge una serie de constataciones sobre las principales luchas que se dan en el campo y, por otro, las líneas de prácticas que llevan al fortalecimiento del movimiento por los derechos humanos, como debates teóricos y prácticos y propuestas en torno a un conjunto de medidas de seguridad que rebasen la conflictividad interna y procuren estrategias de autocuidado y humanización de la lucha por hacer vigentes todos los derechos para todos y todas.

Blue Marble Health
Why do diseases of poverty afflict more people in wealthy countries than in the developing world? In 2011, Dr. Peter J. Hotez relocated to Houston to launch Baylor’s National School of Tropical Medicine. He was shocked to discover that a number of neglected diseases often associated with developing countries were widespread in impoverished Texas communities. Despite the United States’ economic prowess and first-world status, an estimated 12 million Americans living at the poverty level currently suffer from at least one neglected tropical disease, or NTD. Hotez concluded that the world’s neglected diseases—which include tuberculosis, hookworm infection, lymphatic filariasis, Chagas d...
Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives. September 2018
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
Ecosystem Services in Patagonia
This book aims to quantify and discuss how societies have directly and indirectly benefited from ecosystem services in Patagonia; not only in terms of provisioning and cultural services, but also regulating and supporting services. Patagonia, a region that stretches across two countries (ca. 10% in Chile and 90% in Argentina), is home to some of the most extensive wilderness areas on our planet. Natural grasslands comprise almost 30% of the Americas, including the Patagonian steppe, while Patagonian southern temperate forests are important for carbon sequestration and storage, play a pivotal role in water regulation, and have become widely recognized for their ecotourism value. However, prof...
Conversations with Durito
'We are all Zapatistas.' Subcomandante MarcosThis book began in 1994, when Zapatista Subcomandante Marcos replied to a 10-year-old girl from Mexico City who had sent him a drawing. The ensuing collection of related tales about the warrior-beetle, narrated by his pipe-smoking, black-ski-masked human squire is an extraordinary account for the general reader of current global political struggle.Marcos created a humorous fictitious character, Don Durito, a beetle with Quixotic fantasies which regards Marcos as his Sancho Panza. In this book, Marcos creates a new political genre, so-called "postdata": ironical commentaries which he affixes to his formal communiqués or declarations. In one of the...
Career and Family
In this book, the author builds on decades of complex research to examine the gender pay gap and the unequal distribution of labor between couples in the home. The author argues that although public and private discourse has brought these concerns to light, the actions taken - such as a single company slapped on the wrist or a few progressive leaders going on paternity leave - are the economic equivalent of tossing a band-aid to someone with cancer. These solutions, the author writes, treat the symptoms and not the disease of gender inequality in the workplace and economy. Here, the author points to data that reveals how the pay gap widens further down the line in women's careers, about 10 t...

The Data Science Design Manual
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
