Este libro realiza un análisis sobre las prácticas alimentarias y la relación entre la cocina y los alimentos con la cotidianidad de algunos exsecuestrados políticos durante el tiempo que estuvieron retenidos en manos del Bloque Oriental de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC-EP), a partir de los insumos teóricos de los estudios de la alimentación.
Uno de los grandes retos de Occidente para sobrevivir en un siglo que luce desafiante y amenazador en todos los ámbitos es asumir con rigor, realismo, profundidad histórica, introspección espiritual y una gran imaginación las categorías políticas con las cuales se ha concebido política y económicamente el mundo en los últimos 200 años. En el mundo occidental posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y de manera muy profunda después de los años ochenta, con un escenario geopolítico altamente favorable a los Estados Unidos, los dos referentes conceptuales y sus relatos ideológicos y valorativos para pensar el mundo han sido la democracia y el liberalismo de mercado. Estos dos pilares...
Housed in the former 16th-century convent of Santo Domingo church, now the Regional Museum of Oaxaca, Mexico, is an important collection of textiles representing the area’s indigenous cultures. The collection includes a wealth of exquisitely made traditional weavings, many that are now considered rare. The Unbroken Thread: Conserving the Textile Traditions of Oaxaca details a joint project of the Getty Conservation Institute and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) of Mexico to conserve the collection and to document current use of textile traditions in daily life and ceremony. The book contains 145 color photographs of the valuable textiles in the collection, as well as images of local weavers and project participants at work. Subjects include anthropological research, ancient and present-day weaving techniques, analyses of natural dyestuffs, and discussions of the ethical and practical considerations involved in working in Latin America to conserve the materials and practices of living cultures.
This volume is a monograph of the 47 species of the Dulcamaroid clade of the large and diverse genus Solanum. Species in the group occur in North, Central and South America, and in Europe and Asia. The group is most species-rich in Peru and Brazil, and three of the component species, Solanum laxum of Brazil, Solanum seaforthianum of the Caribbean and and Solanum crispum of Chile are cultivated in many parts of the world. All species are illustrated and a distribution map of each is provided. All names are typified and nomenclatural and bibliographic details for all typifications presented. One new species from Ecuador is described. The monograph is the first complete taxonomic treatment of these species since the worldwide monograph of Solanum done by the French botanist Michel-Felix Dunal in 1852.
Tall and balding with laughing eyes and a welcoming smile, Father Gabriele Amorth spent decades battling the Devil one-on-one, performing literally tens of thousands of exorcisms. When Father Amorth died in 2016, he was the world's most famous exorcist, a legendary, miraculous chaser of demons. To the many he served, Father was a godsend, freeing them from years of demonic oppression; to others, he was just a crank – an extremist priest who saw the Devil everywhere. Now, in these never-before-published interviews, Father Amorth takes you into his private world, giving you a harrowing vision of his daily battles with the Devil. Here you won't meet a wizard or a crazy man. Instead, you'll encounter a solid Christian and a humble priest, one who jokes and takes life as God – or the Devil! – hands it to him. Not only will you learn from Father how he proceeds and why; you'll discover the source of his profound faith and remarkable courage: strengths e
The book explains why and when laws go unenforced in developing countries. It argues that the tolerance of street vending and squatting is a form of informal welfare provision and a more effective means to mobilize the poor than conventional state social policies.

Este libro pretende ser, como su nombre lo indica, un insumo para orientar los procesos de observación sobre el desarrollo infantil que necesitan adelantar en el aula los educadores en proceso de formación, con el fin de mejorar sus prácticas educativas. Los dos conceptos centrales de este proceso son, en primer término, la observación, y, posteriormente, el desarrollo infantil. A lo largo del texto, se procura promover la utilización de una amplia variedad de técnicas y estrategias de observación, de modo que los educadores infanti-les estén capacitados para llevar a cabo un seguimiento del desarrollo infantil y logren diseñar planeaciones pedagógicas que potencien el desarrollo de una forma integral y atenta a la diversidad de ritmos, intereses y contextos de los niños y las niñas.
