Las cartas de san pablo
Anteceden a esta publicación las meditaciones sobre los Evangelios. No se trata de una exégesis de las cartas de Pablo ni de un análisis teológico sobre las mismas, sino de una serie de reflexiones que constituyen una gran ayuda en la oración y permiten obtener una lectura más provechosa de estas epístolas. La obra estará precedida por una breve biografía de san Pablo tomada, principalmente, de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, para ubicar al lector en el contexto histórico. El autor se dirige, principalmente, a aquellos que ya tienen experiencia en la oración.

Human Rights and Environmental Sustainability in State-Owned Enterprises
This book presents case studies on the human rights performance of state-owned enterprises from four Latin American and three European countries, as well as foreign investments by Chinese state-owned enterprises on these continents. State-owned enterprises are considered among some of the worst perpetrators of contamination and corporate human rights violations around the globe, both domestically and abroad. This volume examines whether companies implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and how their state owners regulate or incentivize their human rights compliance. Studies cover different sectors ranging from finance to extractives and air transport in Brazil, Chile...
Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America
Americans have learned in elementary school that their country was founded by a group of brave, white, largely British Christians. Modern reinterpretations recognize the contributions of African and indigenous Americans, but the basic premise has persisted. This groundbreaking study fundamentally challenges the traditional national storyline by postulating that many of the initial colonists were actually of Sephardic Jewish and Muslim Moorish ancestry. Supporting references include historical writings, ship manifests, wills, land grants, DNA test results, genealogies, and settler lists that provide for the first time the Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, and Jewish origins of more than 5,000 surnames, the majority widely assumed to be British. By documenting the widespread presence of Jews and Muslims in prominent economic, political, financial and social positions in all of the original colonies, this innovative work offers a fresh perspective on the early American experience.

Progress in Artificial Intelligence — IBERAMIA 98
When in October 1996 in Cholula (Puebla, Mexico), I took charge of organizing the scienti?c program of the next Ibero-American Congress on Arti?cial Intel- gence (IBERAMIA 98) I bet on a couple of ideas. First, I adopted the spirit of the Portuguese adventurers to get the Sixth Congress on a truly international track.

Second, I brought my colleagues beside me so that we were able to collect su?cient excellent papers without destroying the pioneering spirit of those who ?rst inaugurated the Congress. Getting t...
