Guadalajara en sus jóvenes narradores
En el contexto del marco de Guadalajara Capital Mundial del Libro, desde la División de Estudios Históricos y Humanos y el Departamento de Letras de la Universidad de Guadalajara, se lanzó la convocatoria al concurso de cuento: Guadalajara en el siglo XXI a través de sus jóvenes narradores, dirigida a los estudiantes de nivel superior de esta institución. Con el propósito de honrar el lema de esta celebración, que concibe al libro y la lectura como herramientas de construcción de paz y que permitan a su vez difundir el conocimiento y la cultura, este concurso promueve la creación de historias de la vida cotidinana de nuestra ciudad, y aunado a ello el fortalecimiento de la idea de ser tapatío. Algunas de las historias que conforman esta publicación exponen la violencia como parte de la cotidianidad de la vida de los jóvenes. Este libro nos hace reflexionar acerca de lo que significa vivir en una ciudad desbordada por una agobiante e interminable violencia física, emocional, económica y cultural.
Los cuentos fantásticos de El Joven Gran Escritor 2018
El Joven Gran Escritor es una convocatoria en la que se conjuntan varios esfuerzos por hacer brillar las expresiones de los jóvenes jaliscienses, aquellos que abarrotan las presentaciones de libro de género fantástico, o que hacen colas para obtener el autógrafo de autores de terror, ciencia ficción y fantasía. En esta edición se conjuntan cinco cuentos que muestran las formas de ver el mundo y nuestra sociedad por chicos de entre 13 y 17 años, de una forma creativa y sensible, acompañadas de ilustraciones a cargo de Yazz Casillas.
Coronavirus Politics
COVID-19 is the most significant global crisis of any of our lifetimes. The numbers have been stupefying, whether of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures, or the economic consequences of shutdown. Coronavirus Politics identifies key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. Editors Scott L. Greer, Elizabeth J. King, Elize Massard da Fonseca, and André Peralta-Santos bring together over 30 authors versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons. The book’s coverage is global, with a wide range of key and exemplary countries, and contains a mixture of comparative, thematic, and templated country studies. All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book.
Democracy in Times of Pandemic

Phylogenetic Ecology
Over the past decade, ecologists have increasingly embraced phylogenetics, the study of evolutionary relationships among species. As a result, they have come to discover the field’s power to illuminate present ecological patterns and processes. Ecologists are now investigating whether phylogenetic diversity is a better measure of ecosystem health than more traditional metrics like species diversity, whether it can predict the future structure and function of communities and ecosystems, and whether conservationists might prioritize it when formulating conservation plans. In Phylogenetic Ecology, Nathan G. Swenson synthesizes this nascent field’s major conceptual, methodological, and empirical developments to provide students and practicing ecologists with a foundational overview. Along the way, he highlights those realms of phylogenetic ecology that will likely increase in relevance—such as the burgeoning subfield of phylogenomics—and shows how ecologists might lean on these new perspectives to inform their research programs.
Car Safety Wars
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...

No Accident
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...
Scientific Advances in STEM
