Estos Estudios sobre el deporte federado en la Comunitat Valenciana (Regulación y resolución de conflictos), con la coordinación del profesor Alejandro Valiño (Universitat de València) y el sostén de la Dirección General de Deporte de la Generalitat Valenciana, la Cátedra del Deporte de la Universitat Politècnica de València y el Serveid’Esports y la Facultad de Derecho de la Universitat de València, constituyen una obra colectiva específicamente dedicada, desde una perspectiva jurídica, al fenómeno del deporte federado de la Comunitat Valenciana. A través de las doce contribuciones en las que se articula, el estudioso de esta joven disciplina (el Derecho del Deporte), que cuenta con un número siempre creciente de adeptos, tiene la oportunidad de aproximarse a las singularidades y especificidades que, en relación con las materias tratadas por cada uno de los autores, se hallan actualmente vigentes en el ámbito territorial de la Comunitat Valenciana.

To what extent should we use technological advances to try to make better human beings? Leading philosophers debate the possibility of enhancing human cognition, mood, personality, and physical performance, and controlling aging. Would this take us beyond the bounds of human nature?

With this masterful work, Louis A. Perez Jr. transforms the way we view Cuba and its relationship with the United States. On Becoming Cuban is a sweeping cultural history of the sustained encounter between the peoples of the two countries and of the ways that this encounter helped shape Cubans' identity, nationality, and sense of modernity from the early 1850s until the revolution of 1959. Using an enormous range of Cuban and U.S. sources--from archival records and oral interviews to popular magazines, novels, and motion pictures--Perez reveals a powerful web of everyday, bilateral connections between the United States and Cuba and shows how U.S. cultural forms had a critical influence on the development of Cubans' sense of themselves as a people and as a nation. He also articulates the cultural context for the revolution that erupted in Cuba in 1959. In the middle of the twentieth century, Perez argues, when economic hard times and political crises combined to make Cubans painfully aware that their American-influenced expectations of prosperity and modernity would not be realized, the stage was set for revolution.

What is a rubric? A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student work that describes levels of performance quality. Sounds simple enough, right? Unfortunately, rubrics are commonly misunderstood and misused. The good news is that when rubrics are created and used correctly, they are strong tools that support and enhance classroom instruction and student learning. In this comprehensive guide, author Susan M. Brookhart identifies two essential components of effective rubrics: (1) criteria that relate to the learning (not the “tasks”) that students are being asked to demonstrate and (2) clear descriptions of performance across a continuum of quality. She outlines the difference between ...
