La voz del estudiante en la educación superior
A partir de las narraciones de estudiantes universitarios, este libro reflexiona acerca del proceso educativo y la experiencia de los jóvenes en la educación superior. Gracias al análisis de estos relatos se logra una obra novedosa, que no solo pretende generar una reflexión sobre el quehacer pedagógico, sino también ofrecer una visión más realista de la labor del docente de pregrado. Las voces de estudiantes de diferentes carreras y que provienen de distintas regiones dan cuenta en buena medida de la situación de la educación en el país, con sus aciertos y errores, sus fortalezas y debilidades. La voz del estudiante en la educación superior es una invitación a que los docentes se atrevan a innovar, a idear estrategias de aprendizaje, a crear ambientes motivadores y a escuchar a los estudiantes.
Diseño de cursos por grandes ideas, con pedagogía activa e integración de tecnologías digitales
"Diseño de cursos por Grandes ideas con pedagogía activa e integración de tecnologías digitales parte de identificar qué conceptos deseamos que perduren en los estudiantes a lo largo del tiempo. Es un diseño centrado en los estudiantes, que tiene en cuenta lo que saben, lo que les interesa y sus diferencias individuales. Se desarrolla a través de la solución de retos auténticos a los que se enfrentan, es decir, cercanos a la vida cotidiana de los estudiantes, para que puedan darle sentido y utilidad a lo aprendido. Las tecnologías digitales sirven de medio para explorar, compartir, construir y debatir sobre estos conocimientos. Es una estrategia de enseñanza que motiva y prepara a los estudiantes para un aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida y ayuda a los docentes a ajustar su rol principal como facilitadores de procesos de aprendizaje. Como alguna vez proclamó Heidegger, al poco tiempo de ser nombrado rector de la Universidad de Friburgo, en 1933, “enseñar es más difícil que aprender, porque enseñar consiste en dejar aprender”.

What Is Curriculum Theory?
This primer for teachers (prospective and practicing) asks readers to question the historical present and their relation to it, and in so doing, to construct their own understandings of what it means to teach, to study, to become "educated" in the present moment. Curriculum theory is the scholarly effort – inspired by theory in the humanities, arts and interpretive social sciences – to understand the curriculum, defined here as "complicated conversation." Rather than the formulation of objectives to be evaluated by (especially standardized) tests, curriculum is communication informed by academic knowledge, and it is characterized by educational experience. Pinar recasts school reform as ...
Oblivion
Oblivion is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written memorial to the author's father, Héctor Abad Gómez, whose criticism of the Colombian regime led to his murder by paramilitaries in 1987. Twenty years in the writing, it paints an unforgettable picture of a man who followed his conscience and paid for it with his life during one of the darkest periods in Latin America's recent history.

Symmetry in Renewable Energy and Power Systems
This book includes original research papers related to renewable energy and power systems in which theoretical or practical issues of symmetry are considered. The book includes contributions on voltage stability analysis in DC networks, optimal dispatch of islanded microgrid systems, reactive power compensation, direct power compensation, optimal location and sizing of photovoltaic sources in DC networks, layout of parabolic trough solar collectors, topologic analysis of high-voltage transmission grids, geometric algebra and power systems, filter design for harmonic current compensation. The contributions included in this book describe the state of the art in this field and shed light on the possibilities that the study of symmetry has in power grids and renewable energy systems.
The Right Heart
The heart and lung are intricately linked. When the heart is affected by disease, the lungs will often show some related pathological or clinical conditions and vice versa. Pulmonary heart disease is by definition a condition when the lungs cause the heart to fail. The left ventricle in combination with the other structures in the “left heart” pumps blood throughout the body. The right ventricle (and structures of the “right heart”) pumps blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated and returned to the left heart for distribution. In normal circumstances, the right heart pumps blood into the lungs without any resistance. The lungs usually have minimal pressure and the right heart easily...
