Antropología médica en la Europa meridional
Los últimos treinta años de la antropología médica del sur de Europa han permitido que esta evolucione de un abordaje básicamente descriptivo y enumerativo de otras formas de enfermar, otras visiones del curar y otros espacios de sanar, a una mirada crítica y atenta a la pluralidad de recursos que se encuentran a nuestro alrededor, así como a sus implicaciones técnicas, ideológicas y normalizadoras. Se da cabida aquí a debates metodológicos clásicos, reavivados explícitamente por la lectura actual tanto de la salud internacional como de la diversidad de usuarios, así como a la explosión/implosión del modelo médico hegemónico. Otras contribuciones versan sobre el sentido de la subdisciplina y de una etnografía autorreferencial y crítica. Por último, se apuntan las carencias del canon asentado, indicando rupturas y emergencias transgresoras en relación con los dispositivos institucionales y las manifestaciones crecientes de la autoatención en la urdimbre del sistema sanitario público.

Os médicos da pessoa
Em "Os médicos da pessoa", Octavio Bonet lança um olhar antropológico sobre o surgimento da medicina de família, "uma outra medicina" que desponta nos anos 1960. Comparando a criação e o exercício dessa medicina "mais generalista" no Brasil e na Argentina, o autor examina o pano de fundo histórico e ideológico por detrás desse ramo da medicina, que se nutre com as insatisfações com a tecnologização corrente das práticas biomédicas e que dialoga intimamente com a ideia de uma medicina mais humana e voltada para o social. As dificuldades da prática da medicina de família no cotidiano são abordadas a fundo, numa obra que une o trabalho de campo – incluindo relatos de consultas e depoimentos de médicos – a um olhar histórico e sociológico amplo sobre as condições da saúde e da doença nas sociedades atuais. Buscando compreender os motivos para a escolha desta especialidade médica, e examinando os obstáculos e os (pre)conceitos ligados ao seu exercício, a obra que revela a importância do médico da pessoa nos sistemas de saúde e na sociedade em geral.
Bathing - the Body and Community Care
Community care lies at the intersection of day-to-day life and the public world of service provision. Using the lens of one particular activity - bathing - this book explores what happens when the public world of professionals and service provision enters the lives of older and disabled people. In doing so it addresses wider issues concerning the management of the body, the meaning of carework and the significance of body care in the ordering of daily life. Bathing - the Body and Community Care provides an engaging text for students and will be of interest to a wide range of audiences, both social science and health science students and nursing and allied professionals

The book contains eight key intercultural communication theories presented from a European perspective. With a strong focus on work applications, it provides many real life examples illustrating practice. An instructor's manual is also available.

Genomics in Aquaculture to Better Understand Species Biology and Accelerate Genetic Progress
From a global perspective aquaculture is an activity related to food production with large potential for growth. Considering a continuously growing population, the efficiency and sustainability of this activity will be crucial to meet the needs of protein for human consumption in the near future. However, for continuous enhancement of the culture of both fish and shellfish there are still challenges to overcome, mostly related to the biology of the cultured species and their interaction with (increasingly changing) environmental factors. Examples of these challenges include early sexual maturation, feed meal replacement, immune response to infectious diseases and parasites, and temperature a...
Francesc Eiximenis
A selection from the works of the Catalan Franciscan, Francesc Eiximenis. Francesc Eiximenis is an outstanding figure in the ranks of the mendicant orders who, in the late Middle Ages, strove to educate the lower echelons of society. Born in Gerona, around 1330, probably to a comfortable middle-class family, Eiximenis entered the Franciscan order at a very early age, studied in Oxford, and probably also in Paris, and obtained the degree of master of theology in Toulouse. Later he combined teaching with the composing of his works. Among these stands out the monumental and widely known Lo Crestià (The Christian), in which Eiximenis aimed to include all contemporary university knowledge, adapt...
