Promoting Healthy Aging Across the Lifespan
Worldwide there is a generalized trend toward aged societies. Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. As life expectancy continues to increase and natality rates lower, not only the composition of countries will change, but also its health landscape. However, an increased life expectancy does not necessarily mean a healthy life. In most high-income countries more than 20% of those years are lived in ill health due to chronic conditions caused by non-communicable diseases, which compromises functional ability and well-being - key components of healthy aging. In this way, not only people's lives but also societal structu...

La postveritat i la manca de reflexió, una nova realitat del segle XXI?
Les societats actuals estem immerses en una era de transformacions profundes a escala mundial. En aquest panorama canviant i accelerat, la imaginació sociològica, en el sentit de Wright Mills, és imprescindible. La teoria i recerca sociològiques són l’eina clau per a la comprensió dels processos socials i la mirada crítica de les nostres societats. Els últims anys han estat marcats per una sèrie de canvis inesperats i de successives crisis que ens plantegen nous reptes. La societat catalana forma part d’aquesta globalitat i d’aquestes transformacions i no és aliena a aquests canvis, ans al contrari, ha constituït un panorama social i polític que esdevé de gran interès per...
Comparative Law and Anthropology
The topical chapters in this cutting-edge collection at the intersection of comparative law and anthropology explore the mutually enriching insights and outlooks of the two fields. Comparative Law and Anthropology adopts a foundational approach to social and cultural issues and their resolution, rather than relying on unified paradigms of research or unified objects of study. Taken together, the contributions extend long-developing trends from legal anthropology to an anthropology of law and from externally imposed to internally generated interpretations of norms and processes of legal significance within particular cultures. The book's expansive conceptualization of comparative law encompasses not only its traditional geographical orientation, but also historical and jurisprudential dimensions. It is also noteworthy in blending the expertise of long-established, acclaimed scholars with new voices from a range of disciplines and backgrounds.
Comer sin pedir permiso
«¡Obsérvenle! Es el gastrónomo del siglo XXI atravesando la jungla de los dilemas culinarios con un machete en la derecha y un cuchillo entre los dientes» — Maria Nicolau, cocinera y escritora En un mundo donde comer se ha convertido en un delicado equilibrio entre placer y culpa, es hora de romper las cadenas que nos atan a la contrición por disfrutar de un simple acto vital. En medio de una sociedad cada vez más puritana y sentimental, la sensualidad se ve relegada, exigiéndonos permiso para saborear sin remordimientos. Aquellos que reducen la comida a un mero trámite para recargar energías, se equivocan rotundamente. Comer es un acto social de gran trascendencia, con implicaci...
