"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year b...
The availability of very large data sets and the increase in computing power to process them has led to a renewed intensity in corporate and governmental use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. This groundbreaking book, the first devoted entirely to the growing presence of AI in the legal profession, responds to the necessity of building up a discipline that due to its novelty requires the pooling of knowledge and experiences of well-respected experts in the AI field, taking into account the impact of AI on the law and legal practice. Essays by internationally known expert authors introduce the essentials of AI in a straightforward and intelligible style, offering jurists as many p...
Contains scholarly evaluations of books and book chapters as well as conference papers and articles published worldwide in the field of Latin American studies. Covers social sciences and the humanities in alternate years.
José Ortega y Gasset (1883–1955) was a Spanish philosopher and essayist best known for The Revolt of the Masses, first translated into English in 1932. In it, Ortega critiques a populist deformation of democracy by the rise of a “mass mentality” characterized by selfishness, a lack of curiosity, and a general indifference to the opinions and attitudes of others. However, as Brendon Westler makes clear, we need to look beyond Ortega’s arguments about populism and democracy in his most famous work to recover the philosopher’s expansive political outlook and to identify his valuable contributions to the history and advancement of liberalism. Westler’s book reconstructs Ortega’s p...

Javier Fernández Aguado repasa la historia del Antiguo Egipto entendiendo cada reinado o cada forma social como una oportunidad para recabar enseñanzas aplicables al mundo empresarial. Así, del reinado de Djeser Netherijet (2690-2610 a. C.) el autor extrae la necesidad de contar con buenos olaboradores para llevar a buen término los objetivos dela organización; de la etapa de Pepi II (2254-2194 a. C.), la importancia de que un directivo conozca cuándo ha llegado el momento de retirarse del cargo para dejar paso a nuevas generaciones; o de Seti I (1294-1279 a. C.), la ayuda que supone para todas las instituciones la creación de una imagen de marca. En Egipto, escuela de directivos cada capítulo es una casión para conocer más de cerca la historia de una Civilización milenaria, cuna de la cultura occidental antes de la llegada de los griegos, pero también una llamada a la memoria para comprender que conceptos como el ocio, la ética, el nacionalismo, la corrupción o el alma de las organizaciones no son un invento moderno, sino una constante en las sociedades de todo cuño.
