Una serie de trabajos sustentados en la investigación psicológica, la investigación educativa, la reflexión filosófica, psicoanalítica, literaria y otros marcos afines de conocimiento que en sus nexos con lo educativo contribuyen a entenderlo, con el fin de que sean sus posibles lectores quienes se planteen qué es lo que desde dichos ámbitos de estudio se ha conseguido aportar para enriquecer tanto a la comprensión como a la práctica del fenómeno educativo. En tal sentido, el libro que presentamos recopila doce trabajos, algunos de ellos resultado de la investigación empírica y otros más derivados de la reflexión teórica, pero que en su conjunto representan una oportunidad para explorar el ámbito de la educación. No nos resta sino señalar que este libro se suma a muchos otros diseñados para dar la palabra al investigador y al profesor rescatando desde esa palabra un saber pedagógico que es importante y valioso para construir un mayor conocimiento del campo educativo y en aquellos campos con los que la educación hace frontera.

David Whisnant provides a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic relationship between culture, power, and policy in Nicaragua over the last 450 years. Spanning a broad spectrum of popular and traditional expressive forms--including literature, music, film, and broadcast media--the book explores the evolution of Nicaraguan culture, its manipulation for political purposes, and the opposition to cultural policy by a variety of marginalized social and regional groups. Within the historical narrative of cultural change over time, Whisnant skillfully discusses important case studies of Nicaraguan cultural politics: the consequences of the unauthorized removal of archaeological treasures from the co...
Gilbert Hernandez' sensationally semen-drenched fantasia is still the hottest Eros comic of them all. With a delightfully deviant cast featuring driping exploits of two spunky strippers, an oversexed psychiatrist and her philandering husband.
Asia has experienced massive economic growth, characterized by rapid urbanization and industrialization, changing demographics, and increasing consumption and demand for resources. This has contributed to significant environmental degradation. The challenge faced by governments in the region is in identifying and implementing innovative and dynamic policy approaches that are effective at improving environmental quality while sustaining development gains. This report reviews past and ongoing applications of market-based instruments to address air quality, water, and waste management in Asia. It provides recommendations for the use of market-based instruments for more efficient and effective environmental management.
