Well-Being as a Multidimensional Concept highlights the ways that culture and community influence concepts of wellness, the experience of well-being, and health outcomes. This book includes both theoretical conceptualizations and practice-based explorations from a multidisciplinary group of contributors, including distinguished, widely celebrated senior experts as well as emerging voices in the fields of health promotion, health research, clinical practice, community engagement, and health system policy. Using a social science approach, the contributors explore the interface among culture, community, and well-being in terms of theory and research frameworks; culture, community, and relationships; food; health systems; and collaboration, policy, messaging, and data. The chapters in this collection provide a broader understanding of well-being and its role as a culturally embedded and multidimensional concept. This collection furthers our ability to apprehend social and cultural constructs and dynamics that influence health and well-being and to better understand factors that contribute to or prevent health disparities.
Exploring the darkest side of organizations may have a potential to change our previous assumptions about business life.

El calentamiento de la Tierra, la deforestación del Amazonas, la retirada progresiva de los grandes glaciares, las mareas negras, etc., son ejemplos de la relación depredadora del hombre con el medio. Cada vez son más las voces que se alzan en todo el mundo para presionar a los respectivos gobiernos contra esa irresponsabilidad, y para demandar un crecimiento sostenible y respetuoso con el entorno.

En las páginas de este libro el lector encontrará reflexiones y propuestas interesantes y novedosas (para infantil, primaria y secundaria), que demuestran que es posible e imprescindible trabajar en y desde la escuela por un desarrollo sostenible de la Tierra.
