Modernas, cultas y profesionales
El libro es un reconocimiento textual y visual de la presencia y relevancia de las mujeres académicas de la Universidad de Zaragoza, cuyo distrito universitario comprendía las provincias de Zaragoza, Huesca, Teruel, Logroño, Soria y Navarra. Capítulo a capítulo, traza biografías personales o colectivas de las tituladas en Derecho, Filosofía, Ciencias, Medicina, Magisterio, Enfermería, Matronas, Practicantas, y Terapia Ocupacional. Las trayectorias profesionales analizadas muestran dos grandes modelos: cultas amas de casa, esposas y madres de familia o modernas profesionales diseminadas por toda España y fuera de ella. Historiográficamente considerado, este libro es un buen modelo para otras instituciones, puesto que la Universidad de Zaragoza es la primera en ofrecer su genealogía femenina.
Historia de las matronas en España
Madrina, mujer «sabidora», partera, comadre, ama de parir, comadrona, profesora en partos y, cómo no, matrona. Muchos nombres para una profesión con una historia tan larga como la de la Humanidad. ¿Sabes cuándo pudieron acceder los hombres a los estudios de matrona? ¿Qué repercusión tuvo la Pragmática de 1477, promulgada por los Reyes Católicos, sobre la profesión de partera? ¿Sabías que parteras musulmanas asistieron a partos reales como el de Catalina de Láncaster pese a su prohibición? ¿Cómo se atendía un parto en casa a finales del siglo xvi? ¿Cómo ha sido la evolución de las herramientas usadas en un parto? ¿Bautizaban las matronas? ¿Hechicería, brujería, amule...
La revolución de las batas blancas: la enfermería española de 1976 a 1978
La revolución de las bata blancas recoge los tres años de la historia de la enfermería en España en los que se lograron cambios fundamentales, como la formación universitaria mixta y el colegio único, y se sentaron las bases para lograr un salario digno, el profesorado enfermero y la reforma de la sanidad pública. Para ello fue necesaria la movilización activa de decenas de miles de personas entre 1976 y 1978. Esto se producía en el contexto del cambio democrático de las primeras elecciones y de la aprobación de la Constitución, cuando se aprueba también el estatuto de la Organización Colegial. El conflicto de junio de 1976 coincidió en el tiempo con la reunión conjunta de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, en la que se analizaron las malas condiciones laborales de las enfermeras. Las huelgas de las enfermeras españolas en ese mismo mes contaron con el apoyo de Dorotea Hall, de la OMS, que se puso de manifiesto en una carta dirigida al entonces presidente Arias Navarro.
Inventing the Thrifty Gene
Though First Nations communities in Canada have historically lacked access to clean water, affordable food, and equitable healthcare, they have never lacked access to well-funded scientists seeking to study them. The Science of Settler Colonialism examines the relationship between science and settler colonialism through the lens of "Aboriginal diabetes" and the thrifty gene hypothesis, which posits that Indigenous peoples are genetically predisposed to type-II diabetes and obesity due to their alleged hunter-gatherer genes. Hay's study begins with Charles Darwin's travels and his observations on the Indigenous peoples he encountered to set the context for Canadian histories of medicine and c...
Memory and Cultural History of the Spanish Civil War
The authors in this anthology explore how we are to rethink political and social narratives of the Spanish Civil War at the turn of the twenty-first century. The questions addressed here are based on a solid intellectual conviction of all the contributors to resist facile arguments both on the Right and the Left, concerning the historical and collective memory of the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship in the milieu of post-transition to democracy. Central to a true democratic historical narrative is the commitment to listening to the other experiences and the willingness to rethink our present(s) in light of our past(s). The volume is divided in six parts: I. Institutional Realms of Memo...
Landscapes and Societies
This book contains case histories intended to show how societies and landscapes interact. The range of interest stretches from the small groups of the earliest Neolithic, through Bronze and Iron Age civilizations, to modern nation states. The coexistence is, of its very nature reciprocal, resulting in changes in both society and landscape. In some instances the adaptations may be judged successful in terms of human needs, but failure is common and even the successful cases are ephemeral when judged in the light of history. Comparisons and contrasts between the various cases can be made at various scales from global through inter-regional, to regional and smaller scales. At the global scale, ...
Evolution
Donald R. Prothero’s Evolution is an entertaining and rigorous history of the transitional forms and series found in the fossil record. Its engaging narrative of scientific discovery and well-grounded analysis has led to the book’s widespread adoption in courses that teach the nature and value of fossil evidence for evolution. Evolution tackles systematics and cladistics, rock dating, neo-Darwinism, and macroevolution. It includes extensive coverage of the primordial soup, invertebrate transitions, the development of the backbone, the reign of the dinosaurs, and the transformation from early hominid to modern human. The book also details the many alleged “missing links” in the fossil...
