Análisis teórico y experimental en psicología y salud
“Mente sana en cuerpo sano” es un ideal que se ha promovido por generaciones y que deja en claro la estrecha relación que existe entre la psicología y la salud. Con el fin de abonar al desarrollo del campo del conocimiento sobre la vinculación entre estos dos componentes vitales del ser humano, esta obra presenta diversos trabajos teóricos y experimentales contemporáneos desarrollados en México en el campo de la psicología conductual. Los autores comparten tanto sus reflexiones, análisis y metodologías, como los conocimientos específicos, para que los aprovechen otros investigadores, académicos y estudiantes, tanto de pregrado como de posgrado, así como los profesionales de la salud, y de esta manera se puedan generar orientaciones novedosas en los procesos de diagnóstico e intervención para enfermedades concretas o problemas de salud socialmente significativos, como la adicción a las drogas, el mal de Parkinson o los trastornos alimenticios, a la par de favorecer el desarrollo de modelos experimentales y teóricos en esta disciplina.

Psychological Approaches to Sustainability
An international team of leading scholars and young researchers in environmental psychology offers a relatively new perspective on the origin and solutions of the current environmental crisis. They explain how human nature has played a prominent role in the emergence of ecological problems such as global warming, threats to biodiversity, resources scarcity and pollution. But also, they demonstrate that such problems are interlinked with social problems such as poverty, famine, social and economical inequities and violence. According to this books authors, psychological theories and empirical evidence show that the solutions for those socio-ecological problems are to be found in human nature ...

The Pandemic Century
Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.

Whose Reality Counts?
This book is a sequel to Rural development : putting the last first (AL. 1719, BRN 32006). It explores methods and approaches of participatory rural appraisal (PRA), which, because of its wide application, should, according to the author, be changed to participatory learning and action (PLA).
