Unlike architecture, sculpture or painting, the art of gardening produces living works that grow, blossom, change, and fade. As such, the garden could be considered the supreme work of art, and indeed it has been so in all civilizations. A garden on any scale enhances the architecture it surrounds. What would Versailles have been without its spectacular gardens and their orderly vistas, or the great country houses in England without the eighteenth-century landscape designers? Likewise it is hard to imagine rural or urban houses in Colombia without their planned patios and courtyards. The jagged geography of Colombia divides it into several contrasting regions: the Caribbean coast, Antioquia,...
Continuing its calling to define the field and where it is going, the Second Edition of this landmark handbook brings up to date its comprehensive reportage of scholarly developments and school curriculum initiatives worldwide, providing a panoramic view of the state of curriculum studies globally. Its international scope and currency and range of research and theory reflect and contribute significantly to the ongoing internationalization of curriculum studies and its growth as a field worldwide. Changes in the Second Edition: Five new or updated introductory chapters pose transnational challenges to key questions curriculum research addresses locally. Countries absent in the First Edition are represented: Chile, Colombia, Cypress, Ethiopia, Germany, Iran, Luxembourg, Nigeria, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, and Switzerland. 39 new or updated chapters on curriculum research in 34 countries highlight curriculum research that is not widely known in North America. This handbook is an indispensable resource for prospective and practicing teachers, for curriculum studies scholars, and for education students around the world.

"Quince ensayos del escritor Juan Gustavo Cobo sobre pintores colombianos conforman el excelente material de este libro. Enamorado ferviente de la pintura, el escritor bogotano ha involucrado el mundo del color y la forma en todas las actividades que ha desarrollado.

"Nueva compilación de la obra poética de su autor, que incorpora una serie de textos inéditos hasta el momento. Destacables, entre otros poemas recientes, son 'Larga duración', 'Querido Gerbasi', 'Entrega' y 'La sangre y el rito', donde, a los procedimientos ya muy codificados de la antipoesía que dominaba en la labor inicial de Cobo Borda, se agrega un pathos menos calculado y muy conveniente poéticamente"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
