Pedagogías y educación popular
EI presente libro es el resultado del trabajo realizado en el Seminario Permanente del Grupo de Investigación en Educación Popular de la Universidad del Valle entre los años 2019 y 2020. Se escribió a partir de las experiencias que los integrantes han reflexionado desde sus líneas de investigación. Los artículos que lo integran se caracterizan por dejar abierta la conversación y sugerir ideas "entre líneas" que permitan seguir disoñando metodologías y conceptualizaciones que aporten a la construcción de un pensamiento crítico respecto a las formas de hacer y pensar la docencia, la investigación y el trabajo comunitario en el campo de la educación popular. Este libro no es una simple compilación de artículos; es el resultado de una construcción y reflexión conjunta, a partir de textos individuales.
The World Bank
This effort constitutes the most comprehensive and authoritative work to date on the history of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or the World Bank.

Duncan Phyfe
"Duncan Phyfe (1770-1854), known during his lifetime as the "United States Rage," to this day remains America's best-known cabinetmaker. Establishing his reputation as a purveyor of luxury by designing high-quality furniture for New York's moneyed elite, Phyfe would come to count among his clients some of the nation's wealthiest and most storied families. This richly illustrated volume covers the full chronological sweep of the craftsman's distinguished career, from his earliest furniture-- which bears the influence of his 18th-century British predecessors Thomas Sheraton and Thomas Hope--to his late simplified designs in the Grecian Plain. More than sixty works by Phyfe and his workshop are highlighted, including rarely seen pieces from private collections and several newly discovered documented works. Additionally, essays by leading scholars bring to light new information on Phyfe's life, his workshop production, and his roster of illustrious patrons. What unfolds is the story of Phyfe's remarkable transformation from a young immigrant craftsman to an accomplished master cabinetmaker and an American icon."--Publisher's website.
LGBTQ Las Vegas
Being gay in Las Vegas until the 1990s was a felony with a hefty fine and long prison sentence. The Las Vegas LGBTQ community did not organize to fight for its rights until the late 1970s and by the early 1980s had made headway, before AIDS stopped their momentum. While AIDS was devastating, it taught compassion, self-reliance, and political savvy. By 2017, Las Vegas was a city among the most welcoming of the nation's queer community.
U.S. Relations with the World Bank, 1945-1992
This book examines the evolution of U.S. policy toward the World Bank and the impact of the United States on the institution's policies and operations. Catherine Gwin disputes both those who see the Bank as under the thumb of the United States and those who see it as unresponsive to U.S. concerns.
Again With One Voice
The middle of the 18th Century saw the birth of a century of striving for political reform in England; not coincidentally, it was also the golden age of the broadside ballad ¿ inexpensive songsheets sold on the street, often targeting popular figures and spreading the word of reform efforts. Scholar and singer Dick Holdstock traces the history of this tumultuous period with a collection of 120 songs from the popular presses of the day, all with appropriate tunes, extensive commentary, and rich illustrations from contemporary publications.
