Educar en territorios rurales
La educación rural enfrenta una crisis profunda. No solo se evidencia en los bajos resultados de los estudiantes rurales en pruebas estandarizadas, sino también en la comprensión errónea de la educación rural basada en supuestos equivocados. Uno de los errores más comunes es asumir que la vida rural en Colombia puede describirse con indicadores homogéneos que pasan por alto las diferencias entre, por ejemplo, la ruralidad de los llanos orientales, la sabana de Bogotá y la vida campesina del Caribe. Este libro identifica elementos clave para construir la noción de educación rural. Además, considerando que la ruralidad colombiana ha sido profundamente afectada por el conflicto armado, la obra ofrece una perspectiva sobre la influencia de este conflicto en la educación rural y propone caminos hacia la paz. Así, cada uno de sus capítulos busca fomentar un compromiso de la sociedad colombiana con la educación rural, reflejado en la formulación de políticas públicas y en el desafío de superar esos estereotipos que obstaculizan la comprensión de la complejidad rural.
Molecular Identification of Fungi
Fungi enjoy great popularity in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and biotechnological applications. Recent advances in the decipherment of whole fungal genomes promise an acceleration of these trends. This timely book links scientists from different parts of the world who are interested in the molecular identification of fungi combined with the exploration of the fungal biodiversity in different ecosystems. It provides a compendium for scientists who rely on a rapid and reliable detection of fungal specimens in environmental as well as clinical resources in order to ensure the benefit of industrial and clinical applications. Chapters focus on the opportunities and limits of the molecular marker-mediated identification of fungi. Various methods, procedures and strategies are outlined. Furthermore, the book offers an update of the current progress in the development of fungal molecular techniques, and draws attention to potential and associated problems, as well as integrating theory and practice.

The Death Penalty
The death penalty arouses our passions as does few other issues. Some view taking another person's life as just and reasonable punishment while others see it as an inhumane and barbaric act. But the intensity of feeling that capital punishment provokes often obscures its long and varied history in this country. Now, for the first time, we have a comprehensive history of the death penalty in the United States. Law professor Stuart Banner tells the story of how, over four centuries, dramatic changes have taken place in the ways capital punishment has been administered and experienced. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the penalty was standard for a laundry list of crimes--from adult...
