Macroeconomic policy is one of the most important policy domains, and the tools of macroeconomics are among the most valuable for policy makers. Yet there has been, up to now, a wide gulf between the level at which macroeconomics is taught at the undergraduate level and the level at which it is practiced. At the same time, doctoral-level textbooks are usually not targeted at a policy audience, making advanced macroeconomics less accessible to current and aspiring practitioners. This book, born out of the Masters course the authors taught for many years at the Harvard Kennedy School, fills this gap. It introduces the tools of dynamic optimization in the context of economic growth, and then ap...

La existencia del ser humano en la Tierra es, básicamente, geografía. No se puede desarrollar acción de civilización sin un espacio geográfico donde habitar. Por eso, la geografía es una disciplina científica principal en la formación del ser humano. El «dónde» es un elemento básico en el sistema de coordenadas del pensamiento. Seguramente el más importante para el desarrollo del resto de habilidades intelectuales y sociales de una persona. De ahí que el conocimiento de los hechos geográficos, primero, y la transmisión de los mismos, después, son las tareas que han preocupado, en todo momento histórico, a la disciplina geográfica. Cambian, eso sí, las formas de conocer y de transmitir conocimientos, de ahí la necesidad de la actualización constante en la enseñanza de los conceptos, métodos, recursos y contenidos geográficos. Este libro persigue este objetivo.

From one of the prominent Chicano poets writing today comes a collection of poems to take your breath away. With dazzling speed and energy, Juan Felipe Herrera sends readers rocketing through verbal space in a celebration of the rhythms and textures of words that will make you want to shout, dance, and read out loud. Lika a wild ride in a fast car, Border-Crosser with a Lamborghini Dream moves at breakneck speed, a post-Lorca journey across the new millennium terrain. Words careen through space and time, through blighted urban landscapes, past banjos and bees, past AIDS faces and mad friars, past severed heads and steel-toed border-crosser boots. To the rhythm of "The Blue Eyed Mambo that Unveils My Lover's Belly" and the sounds of the Last Mayan Acid rock band, Herrera races through the hallucinations of a nation that remains just outside of paradise. With dazzling poems that roar from the darkest corners of our minds toward an ecstatic celebration of the lushness of language, Border-Crosser with a Lamborghini Dream is a celebration of a world that is both sacred and cruel, a world of "Poesy Chicano style undone wild" by one of the most daring poets of our time.
