Primer concurso de ensayo fray Roger Bacon
"Este libro [...] es el bautismo de un sueño que comenzó con Roger Bacon encerrado en su celda y que continúa en la volátil pluma de todos los ensayistas aquí convocados. El Primer concurso de ensayo fray Roger Bacon le rinde un homenaje a la figura de quien fue un buscador abismal. El Doctor mirabilis, como se le suele llamar en los pasillos teológicos, nació muchos años antes de que el gran Michel de Montaigne dijese: 'Yo mismo soy la materia de mi libro', en esos Essais que inaugurarían en la literatura una nueva forma de expresión. Sin embargo, ya en él estaba la semilla de lo que Montaigne haría llegar hasta ensayistas contemporáneos como los que se reúnen aquí: la noció...
La idea de América en los pensadores occidentales
Lo que un país, o un continente, es en su pasado depende de su presente, porque el modo y la actitud con que se valora en el presente se proyecta hacia toda su historia e impregna su imagen total. América aparece como algo lacerante y doloroso para Gabriela Mistral o para Fernando González, de modo similar a como España aparece como algo doloroso para Unamuno y para Ortega. Hay que esperar a la segunda mitad del siglo XX para superar esa especie de narcisismo quejumbroso tan frecuente en los intelectuales de habla española respecto de sus países. Entonces pueden encontrarse visiones menos subjetivizadas como las de León de Greiff o Zea, o incluso con el equilibrio, la serenidad y la s...
Disabling Obesity
Obesity is currently regarded as one of the major health challenges of the developed world. Excess body weight is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and even psychiatric problems and is estimated to cause nearly 3 million deaths per year worldwide. Obesity is not necessarily associated with comorbidities: there are indeed metabolically healthy obese individuals. Thus, we need to consider individuals presenting simple with obesity separately from those at risk of developing or who have already developed complex clinical states potentially leading to disability. Comorbidities can tip the balance of inde...
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer
Telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in “cancer stem cells” has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.

The Pinochet Effect
The 1998 arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in London and subsequent extradition proceedings sent an electrifying wave through the international community. This legal precedent for bringing a former head of state to trial outside his home country signaled that neither the immunity of a former head of state nor legal amnesties at home could shield participants in the crimes of military governments. It also allowed victims of torture and crimes against humanity to hope that their tormentors might be brought to justice. In this meticulously researched volume, Naomi Roht-Arriaza examines the implications of the litigation against members of the Chilean and Argentine military governments and trac...
