En el sur de la península Ibérica, allí donde se encuentran las aguas del océano Atlántico y del mar Mediterráneo, se libra desde tiempos inmemoriales un drama de proporciones épicas. Una batalla que enfrenta a peces y hombres y que toma su nombre del árabe andalusí, la almadraba: lugar donde se golpea o lucha. Siguiendo la ruta trazada por el ciclo vital de los grandes atunes rojos, el fotógrafo Jaume Fuster, guiado por el arráez Jacinto Vaello, emprende un viaje iniciático al corazón de la almadraba, el arte de pesca más antiguo del Mediterráneo. La intención del fotógrafo es poder capturar la almadraba, a pesar de su dificultad: fotografiar el inmenso laberinto erigido desde el fondo del mar -aquel laberinto que Llorca Baus llamó "castillo de redes" por su gran envergadura, disposición y sofisticación, que le asemejaban al plano de una Fortaleza.

One of the most influential educational philosophers of our times, Paulo Freire contributed to a revolutionary understanding of education as an empowering and democratizing force in the lives of the disenfranchised. In this deeply personal introduction to the man and his ideas, Antonia Darder reflects on how Freire’s work has illuminated her own life practices and thinking as an educator and activist. Including both personal memories and a never-before published, powerful dialogue with Freire himself, Darder offers a unique "analysis of solidarity," in mind and spirit. A heartfelt look at the ways Freire can still inspire a critically intellectual and socially democratic life, this book is certain to open up his theories in entirely new ways, both to those already familiar with his work and those coming to him for the first time.

La venganza de Tamar es una de las comedias religiosas de Tirso de Molina, un género en el que alcanzó gran altura, con trama de trasfondo religioso pero con protagonistas que se alejan de la alegoría y la abstracción y abrazan la humanidad, con motivaciones más cercanas a los sentimientos y no tanto a los prodigios religiosos. Tirso de Molina es el pseudónimo de Gabriel Téllez, un religioso y autor español nacido en Madrid en 1579 y fallecido en Almazán en 1648. Se le considera uno de los mayores dramaturgos de las letras españolas, sobre todo porque se le atribuye la creación del mito de Don Juan.
This book challenges readers to consider whether archaeology explains the Bible. Archaeology and the Bible examines new developments in archaeological finds in the Near East, particularly Palestine, that are related to the Bible. New methodologies, regional surveys and creative syntheses have all had an impact on traditional approaches to looking at these discoveries. John Laughlin examines these new developments and discusses what they imply for biblical studies.

Drawing on research evidence, Improving Urban Schools addresses the question of how primary and secondary urban schools can be improved in a more inclusive way. The authors argue that urban schools and their communities have within them expertise that tends to be overlooked, and latent creativity that should be mobilised to move thinking and progress forward. They show that new approaches to leadership, various forms of collaborative school-to-school partnerships, and major changes in national policy development are needed to make use of this untapped energy.
