Countering the dystopic and the apocalyptic, Star Trek's Philosophy of Peace and Justice introduces political philosophical reflections on peace, justice, and non-violence through dramatic plots in the utopian Star Trek Universe. Using key insights from a global array of philosophers, thinkers, and activists, including Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, Angela Davis, Martha Nussbaum, Johan Galtung, and Desmond Tutu, José-Antonio Orosco guides readers through different Star Trek episodes, applying key concepts from peace and justice studies. In the Star Trek Universe, seemingly impossible realities, based on peace and justice exist indefinitely in a post-scarcity society marked by economic cooperation. Orosco continues its bold utopian mission and brings new challenges to the field of peace and justice studies that center anti-racism and intersectional theory to encourage the exploration, over conquest, of our own galaxy.

Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism By: Captain C Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism is an interesting book inspired by the author’s biography and not invented. It brings to light a group of people less investigated by the Romanian literature. The author has a vigorous and harsh style of writing, according to the character who are not made of cardboard, but they are real flesh and blood. I consider this novel, included into a trilogy, according to the author, to be well received by the public. Literary Critic Ioan Adam Captain C is a rare sea writer, coming from a professional of the sea. The novel shapes the authentic feeling of the sea and an unmistakable human solidarity, revealed in its total plenitude and deepness, only in the conditions of a concrete travel by sea. Novelist Ovidiu Dunăreanu

Este libro plasma los resultados de un proceso de investigación participativa, que desde una perspectiva agroecológica, tuvo como propósito fomentar la conservación y uso de tres especies nativas de la zona andina: la ibia, el cubio y la ruba. Estos tubérculos han persistido desde la época precolombina en sistemas productivos indígenas y campesinos, y hoy forman parte de las denominadas especies infrautilizadas, dada la marginalidad a la cual han sido sometidas durante el último siglo, no obstante su importancia en la diversificación alimentaria y el sustento de poblaciones locales en los Andes. En Turmequé y Ventaquemada, dos municipios del Departamento de Boyacá en Colombia, un grupo de familias agricultoras, junto con la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana y la Corporación PBA, emprendieron un trabajo que permitió reconocer la variabilidad morfológica de estas especies, así como las características de los sistemas productivos diversificados en los cuales se encuentran inmersas, junto a sus prácticas de cultivo, sus usos y valoraciones respecto a nutrición y seguridad alimentaria, aspectos que los agricultores consideran bastión principal para su conservación.
