Dust and Dignity
What makes domestic work a bad job, even after efforts to formalize and improve working conditions? Erynn Masi de Casanova's case study, based partly on collaborative research conducted with Ecuador's pioneer domestic workers' organization, examines three reasons for persistent exploitation. First, the tasks of social reproduction are devalued. Second, informal work arrangements escape regulation. And third, unequal class relations are built into this type of employment. Accessible to advocates and policymakers as well as academics, this book provides both theoretical discussions about domestic work and concrete ideas for improving women's lives. Drawing on workers' stories of lucha, trabajo...
Aproximaciones a la salud desde la complejidad, la ética y la medicina
Los temas y los problemas abordados en este libro no son exclusivos de la salud, sino que les atañen a todos los individuos, dado que inciden en sus actividades cotidianas. Aunque se toma como eje el diálogo entre la ética, la medicina y la complejidad, sus temas de base son comprender qué es la vida saludable y cómo se pueden adoptar hábitos que lleven a vivir de esta manera. Los autores reflexionan sobre estos ejes, a fin de resaltar que la salud es posible y que debe comprenderse por sí misma, lo que supone dejar al margen el concepto de enfermedad.
Reflexiones críticas sobre la teoría de la salud pública
Pensar la salud, hasta la fecha, es una tarea que jamás se ha emprendido en Occidente, pues la preocupación fue siempre negativa: el rechazo de la enfermedad, la superación de la pobreza y otras expresiones semejantes. Es posible decirlo en términos fuertes y directos: el llamado a la salud coincide con un auténtico giro civilizatorio. Occidente siempre supo solamente de la enfermedad y cómo vencerla; hoy asistimos a los albores de una nueva civilización que se enfoca en aspectos nunca antes considerados. Se trata del desplazamiento de la tradicional y dominante concepción antropológica, antropocéntrica y antropomórfica de la realidad y la naturaleza por una visión más orgánica, horizontal y no jerárquica, en la que la naturaleza y la vida en general se convierten en la fuente de todo valor y sentido, en la finalidad de cualquier consideración ética, axiológica o estética.
Wait No More
This book is about the smallest unit of public policy: the government transaction. Government transactionsrequesting a birth certificate, registering a property, or opening a business, for exampleare the way that citizens and companies connect with the government. Efficient transactions enhance the business climate, citizen perception of government, and access to crucial public programs and services. In Latin America and the Caribbean, however, government transactions are often headaches. Public institutions rarely coordinate with each other, still rely on paper, and are more concerned about fulfilling bureaucratic requirements than meeting citizens needs. Wait No More empirically confirms a reality known anecdotally but previously unquantified and offers a path to escape the bureaucratic maze.
The Unspoken Rules
Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job.

Mujeres en la historia de chile
La historia de Chile contada a través de sus más eminentes mujeres ¿A cuántas mujeres de la conquista o del Chile colonial conocemos? ¿Quiénes fueron Janequeo, Catalina de Erauso y Úrsula Suárez? ¿Por qué todavía resuenan los nombres de Teresa Flores, Ernestina Pérez, Inés Echeverría y Teresa Wilms Montt? ¿Por qué fue tan importante para las mujeres de la mitad del siglo xix el "decreto Amunátegui"? En esta contundente investigación la historiadora Gabriela Huidobro busca recuperar la memoria de las contribuciones femeninas y protagonismos de mujeres en los principales procesos de la historia de Chile desde el siglo xvi hasta comienzos del xx. La autora de esta obra reflexiona sobre la necesidad de revisar y replantear los relatos históricos para reconocer la presencia e importancia de las mujeres a lo largo del tiempo y en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad. De esta manera, cuestiona la visión tradicional de la historia chilena que, dominada por figuras masculinas y eventos políticos y militares, suele recordarlas solo como acompañantes o protagonistas pasivas de los principales acontecimientos.
User-Centered Software Development for the Blind and Visually Impaired: Emerging Research and Opportunities
Human-computer interaction studies the users and their interaction with an interactive software system (ISS). However, these studies are designed for people without any type of disability, causing there to be few existing techniques or tools that focus on the characteristics of a specific user, thus causing accessibility and utility issues for neglected segments of the population. This reference source intends to remedy this lack of research by supporting an ISS focused on people with visual impairment. User-Centered Software Development for the Blind and Visually Impaired: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a collection of innovative research on techniques, applications, and methods for carrying out software projects in which the main users are people with visual impairments. While highlighting topics including mobile technology, assistive technologies, and human-computer interaction, this book is ideally designed for software developers, computer engineers, designers, academics, researchers, professionals, and educators interested in current research on usable and accessible technologies.
Deconstructing Paradise
Deconstructing Paradise investigates Christian symbols that appear in Latin American Literature in an inverted way. The texts under investigation invert the Christian center to generate a social, political, cultural, or even artistic commentary. In doing so, each text underscores a search for meaning that rejects the centering presence of the more traditional Christian focus that has long validated humankind’s existence both in society and in literature. As Deconstructing Paradise examines, finding a unified center around which to construct meaning is no longer possible, although the search for meaning persists in the inverted Christian center. The first three chapters analyze the trifecta...
