La crítica a la religión se ha convertido en un lugar común. Abundan tanto las denuncias a sus abusos históricos e institucionales como las propuestas que apelan por una «espiritualidad sin religión». De lo que no se ha hablado suficientemente es de su papel en la crisis civilizatoria. Este libro denuncia la dimensión religiosa de la crisis actual. Desvela la religión como el monopolio radical que secuestra las capacidades personales y colectivas para relacionarnos con el Misterio, enajenándonos de la realidad en aras de un proyecto de mundo puramente artificial. El autor se aleja en su análisis tanto de las religiones institucionalizadas como de los rostros de la espiritualidad asimilada por el mercado. Busca la recuperación de la relación personal y comunitaria con la misteriosidad de lo real a través de la amistad y el retorno a los sentidos.
¿Puede el diálogo interreligioso ser más que una mera diplomacia entre religiones? En este libro el autor se aproxima al encuentro entre espiritualidades con el fin de abordar críticamente los posibles resultados “totalizantes” de cierto tipo de diálogo. Aquel que, quizá desde la bien intencionada búsqueda de la unidad que supere los conflictos, se desentiende de la alteridad, la diversidad y la diferencia. En cambio, se propone abordar mística y filosóficamente el diálogo interreligioso, como un camino espiritual, una Palabra que surja del Silencio, fruto, a su vez, de un Encuentro con la alteridad del otro, Icono del Misterio.
Means provides the first major study of both the historical development of private law in a Latin American country and the shifting role of business corporations or share companies in Latin American development. He shows that Colombia's corporate law provisions for commercial codes held only a tenuous relationship to reality and that, even today, Colombia's commercial development continues to be affected by a paucity of legal scholars, case reports, and legal journals.

The review report provides an insight into sediment collection and use strategies that can be transferred to El-Bared irrigation system. The report is the outcome of the project “Rehabilitation and waste management of the El-Bared Canal Irrigation System”, financed by the Government of Norway. The report aims to provide technical guidelines in support of the development of sediment management strategies in the north of Lebanon. In the specific, it aims at providing an overview of global and national practices of sediment application; setting the theoretical baseline for the implementation of these practices; and paving the way for scalable pilots in the country. The report contributes to the higher objectives of the country’s commitment to protect marine resources of the Mediterranean Sea, under the Barcelona Convention.
Apaches at War and Peace is the story of the Chiricahua Apaches on the northern frontier of New Spain from 1750 to 1858, especially those within the region of the Janos presidio in northwestern Chihuahua. Using previously untapped archives in Spain, Mexico, and the United States, William Griffen relates how Apache raids and other hostilities were the norm until Bernardo de Galvez, viceroy of New Spain, encouraged the Apaches to settle near presidios. By 1790 some Apaches were in residence at Janos, and intermittent periods of peace and conflict ensued until Mexican independence brought more radical changes in Indian policy (such as the state of Sonora's offer of bounties for Indian scalps). Griffen explores issues of changing Indian policy, Indian-Mexican relations, and the entry of the United States onto the scene after its invasion of Mexico. For this reprint he includes a new preface discussing recentresearch issues.
