Las perlas de la corrupción
Los mayores casos de corrupción en Colombia.
La Salud en Colombia: Entre el derecho a la salud y la racionalidad económica del mercado, 1993-2015
El presente libro analiza las tensiones presentadas en el desarrollo del Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS] a partir de la Ley 100 de 1993, que privilegia la concepción de la salud como un servicio, y el ciudadano que considera la salud un derecho y que debe permanentemente recurrir a los principios del Estado social de derecho definidos en la Constitución Política de 1991 para acceder a la atención en salud. Históricamente en el país se ha abordado la salud de manera fragmentada y no integrada; así, la complejidad del tema hace necesario que se construyan otras formas de analizar la permanente crisis de la salud desde una mirada holística y heterodoxa. El dilema sobre el modelo por seguir en Colombia se debate entre la racionalidad económica y el derecho fundamental a la salud: en el primero, se corre el riesgo de excluir a importantes sectores de la población de recibir atención oportuna con calidad, disponibilidad y accesibilidad; y en el segundo se corre el riesgo de no lograr la sostenibilidad financiera del sistema. Todos coincidimos en que el modelo actual requiere cambios profundos.

The Courtier and the King
"This is a little jewel of a book. Beautifully and elegantly written, it examines the political career of an important figure at the court of Philip II of Spain. It is political biography in the best sense of the term."--Richard Kagan, author of Lucrecia's Dreams
Communicating Science
Modern science communication has emerged in the twentieth century as a field of study, a body of practice and a profession—and it is a practice with deep historical roots. We have seen the birth of interactive science centres, the first university actions in teaching and conducting research, and a sharp growth in employment of science communicators. This collection charts the emergence of modern science communication across the world. This is the first volume to map investment around the globe in science centres, university courses and research, publications and conferences as well as tell the national stories of science communication. How did it all begin? How has development varied from one country to another? What motivated governments, institutions and people to see science communication as an answer to questions of the social place of science? Communicating Science describes the pathways followed by 39 different countries. All continents and many cultures are represented. For some countries, this is the first time that their science communication story has been told.
South American Independence
The struggles for independence in Latin America during the first half of the nineteenth century were accompanied by a wide-ranging debate about political rights, nationality and citizenship. In South American Independence, Catherine Davies, Claire Brewster and Hilary Owen investigate the neglected role of gender in that discussion. Examining women writers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, the book traces the contradictions inherent in revolutionary movements that, while arguing for the rights of all, remained ambivalent, at best, about the place of women. Through studies of both published and unpublished writings, South American Independence reveals the complex role of women in shaping the vexed ideologies of independence.
Reading Today
New technologies are changing our reading habits. Laptops, e-readers, tablets and other handheld devices supply new platforms for reading, and we must learn to manage them by scrolling, clicking or tapping. Reading Today places reading in current literary and cultural contexts in order to analyse how these contexts challenge our conceptions of who reads, what reading is, how we read, where we read, and for what purposes – and then responds to the questions this analysis raises. Is our reading experience becoming a ‘flat’ one? And does reading in a media environment favour quick reading? Alongside these questions, the contributors unpack emerging strategies of reading.They consider, for example, how paying attention to readers’ emotional reactions as an indispensable component of reading affects our conception of the reading process. Other chapters consider how reading can be explored through such topics as experimental literature, the contemporary encyclopedic novel and the healing power of books.
