Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design
Every day we interact with thousands of consumer products. We not only expect them to perform their functions safely, reliably, and efficiently, but also to do it so seamlessly that we don’t even think about it. However, with the many factors involved in consumer product design, from the application of human factors and ergonomics principles to reducing risks of malfunction and the total life cycle cost, well, the process just seems to get more complex. Edited by well-known and well-respected experts, the two-volumes of Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design simplify this process. The first volume, Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design: Method...

Histories of Perplexity
By combining chronological coverage, analytical breadth, and interdisciplinary approaches, these two volumes—Histories of Solitude and Histories of Perplexity—study the histories of Colombia over the past two centuries as illustrations of the histories of democracy across the Americas. The volumes bring together over 40 scholars based in Colombia, the United States, England, and Canada working in various disciplines to discuss how a country that has been consistently presented as a rarity in Latin America provides critical examples to re-examine major historical problems: republicanism and liberalism; export economies and agrarian modernization; populism and cultural politics of state fo...
Escribir, olvidar, regresar
El acto de recordar nos presenta la posibilidad de hacer historia desde la ficción, la narración y el relato. La imagen escrita actúa como el testigo único que reconstruye en el tiempo los trazos de la memoria. La práctica de recordar, narrar y dar sentido se ofrece en este libro como un ejercicio que plantea nuevas preguntas y nos sitúa ante la posibilidad de recrear el mundo a través del arte y el uso poético del lenguaje. En cada capítulo, el lector encontrará la pregunta por el origen, la infancia y el recuerdo inherente a la existencia, tanto sus sentidos felices como dolorosos. El acto simple y profundo de narrar nos pone ante el espejo de contar quiénes somos y, a la vez, darnos cuenta de ello. La memoria puede cobrar así un sentido más amplio donde se vinculan las experiencias personales con el entramado de la cultura.
Bilingualism and Bilingual Education: Politics, Policies and Practices in a Globalized Society
This volume presents a multinational perspective on the juxtaposition of language and politics. Bringing together an international group of authors, it offers theoretical and historical constructs on bilingualism and bilingual education. It highlights the sociocultural complexities of bilingualism in societies where indigenous and other languages coexist with colonial dominant and other prestigious immigrant languages. It underlines the linguistic diaspora and expansion of English as the world’s lingua franca and their impact on indigenous and other minority languages. Finally, it features models of language teaching and teacher education. This book challenges the existent global conditions of non-dominant languages and furthers the discourse on language politics and policies. It does so by pointing out the need to change the bilingual/multilingual educational paradigm across nations and all levels of educational systems.
Metodologías de investigación jurídica : experiencias y desafíos del oficio de investigar en derecho
A pesar de que existen numerosas publicaciones que estudian la metodología en el campo jurídico, son muchos más los textos de derecho que abordan la discusión directa de los contenidos. Ante el evidente predominio bibliográfico del qué sobre el cómo, varios profesores y profesoras de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes decidieron escribir Metodologías de investigación jurídica para preguntarse cómo realizan, aprenden y reflexionan acerca de las investigaciones que componen sus propias agendas académicas, incluyendo las dimensiones teóricas, prácticas y éticas allí presentes. Así, esta obra se ubica en el universo de las formas metodológicas que suelen acom...
