La novela de ficción que tienes en tus manos es caótica y difícil de creer, como un sueño, pero fácil de leer y de entender para el que tenga más de cuatro dedos de frente; es también una denuncia, sin esperar justicia ni redención de nadie, y se constituye en una utopía (que no distopía, pero tal vez, solo tal vez, en ucronía, por aquello de que la historia es cíclica). En ella se habla de libertad de elegir con plena responsabilidad de actos y consecuencias, de asumir una conducta sexual y social de mayor de edad, no sólo biológica sino de pensamiento y acción. Libertad personal y familiar para dejar de cederle el poder a la tiranía de la mayoría o, peor, a la tiranía de ...

A raíz de la aprobación en 2007 de la despenalización del aborto en la Ciudad de México y de la acción de inconstitucionalidad que se promovió contra ésta, la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación convocó en 2008 a audiencias públicas en las que se expusieron argumentos a favor y en contra de la reforma. Con el fin de contribuir a una reflexión rigurosa y fundamentada acerca de esta compleja cuestión, este libro analiza dichos argumentos desde la perspectiva del derecho a la salud y los derechos humanos, en el contexto de la política de población en México y de las evidencias científicas acerca del impacto de los marcos jurídicos en la salud y bienestar de las mujeres (en el mundo).
Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
Vaccinate children against deadly pneumococcal disease, or pay for cardiac patients to undergo lifesaving surgery? Cover the costs of dialysis for kidney patients, or channel the money toward preventing the conditions that lead to renal failure in the first place? Policymakers dealing with the realities of limited health care budgets face tough decisions like these regularly. And for many individuals, their personal health care choices are equally stark: paying for medical treatment could push them into poverty. Many low- and middle-income countries now aspire to universal health coverage, where governments ensure that all people have access to the quality health services they need without r...
