The Avila of Saint Teresa
The Avila of Saint Teresa provides both a fascinating account of social and religious change in one important Castilian city and a historical analysis of the life and work of the religious mystic Saint Teresa of Jesus. Jodi Bilinkoff's rich socioeconomic history of sixteenth-century Avila illuminates the conditions that helped to shape the religious reforms for which the city's most famous citizen is celebrated. Bilinkoff takes as her subject the period during which Avila became a center of intense religious activity and the home of a number of influential mystics and religious reformers. During this time, she notes, urban expansion and increased economic opportunity fostered the social and ...
Divine Domesticity
This cultural analysis of the divine indwelling from the fourth through sixteenth centuries reverses the history of doctrine to venture doctrine as history. It discovers a fundamental disparity between domestic values and the exilic asceticism that once dominated western civilization.
The seventh BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors
The revised and extended BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors presents 304 private collections of contemporary art accessible to the public—featuring large and small, famous and the relatively unknown. Succinct portraits of the collections with countless color illustrations take the reader to 51 countries, often to regions or urban districts that are off-the-beaten-path. This practical guide is a collaborative publication stemming from the partnership between BMW and Independent Collectors, the international online platform for collectors of contemporary art. To date, neither the Internet nor any book has ever contained a comparable assembly of international private collections, including several that have opened their doors to art lovers and connoisseurs for the first time.
Carmelite Wisdom and Prophetic Hope Treasures Both New and Old (Carmelite Studies 11)
This newest volume of Carmelite Studies reflects the remarkable resurgence in Carmelite scholarship, especially throughout the English-speaking world, in recent decades.

Weaving rich insights from the theme throughout these essays, the authors show the honored place of wisdom...
In Context: Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Their World
St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross are among the greatest teachers of prayer in the Christian tradition. For nearly five centuries, their writings on the spiritual life have guided those seeking greater union with God. Beyond the written corpus of these saints, the lived experiences of these reformers of the Carmelite Order also draws fascination. Living in sixteenth-century Spain among kings, prelates, explorers, inquisitors, and reformers, these two saints were formed and sanctified by the context and circumstances of their historical time and place. In Context: Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Their World explores the social, cultural, intellectual, and religious theme...
I die every day
To bring into this project, Tobias Rehberger selected a shocking title extracted from one of the quote by St. Paul to the Corinthians, and more specifically from the paragraph about the Resurrection of the Dead. The question is crucial since the project relates to the idea of the Resurrection within the artist's work and trajectory. For the staging of the installation, seventeen projects were selected out of over forty of which the artist counted on. Over his sketches, drawings and short annotations, Rehberger tried to redo and give life to them, applying the other forms, materials and sizes. For this exhibition a catalog was designed by Chris Rehberger with a wide selection of the previous projects in a graphical, critical and historiographical scale. The catalog includes a text by Chus Martinez and a detailed analysis on the new project by the exhibition's commissioner, Agustn Prez Rubio as well as an elaborated review about the hidden story of each one of the seventeen projects, written by Doris Mampe.

Visiones docentes en las aulas de hoy
Hablar de los docentes en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) es una responsabilidad ineludible a la luz de las nuevas exigencias que la sociedad global, del multiculturalismo, los fenómenos migratorios y las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, que en conjunto imponen nuevos desafíos a la tarea de educar. Ante estos desafíos y más allá de los métodos y técnicas que se asuman como propios para adecuarse a los diversos estilos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, se encuentra la urgencia de una práctica educativa sustentada en la ética del educador. Sin esta premisa de sentido humano y social, no será posible cumplir con el propósito sustantivo de e...
