This book critically examines transitional justice in Mexico. It explores how the Mexican democratic regime dealt with the grave human rights violations perpetrated by security forces during the authoritarian era (1929-2000) through a Special Prosecutor’s Office. It offers a complete account of the diverse factors that facilitated the emergence (and policing) of Mexico's transitional justice process. Whilst transitional justice should contribute to the advancement of liberal democracy and, consequently, generate the following benefits: truth, justice, political reconciliation, peace, this book argues that Mexico is a case of transitional injustice. It is an example of how in some societies transitional justice mechanisms are intentionally implemented in ways that, instead of generating justice, produce impunity. It makes important contributions to some of the broader debates addressed by scholars on transitional justice and gives them reason to re-examine transitional justice processes in other countries in a new light.
Este libro es una ventana que devela momentos únicos en la escena del rock latinoamericano; encuentros de primera mano que apelan al insaciable espíritu nómada de su autor y su travesía hacia recónditos rincones del planeta en busca de sonidos únicos y sus excéntricos responsables. Las historias reunidas en estas páginas repasan distintos pasajes de una trayectoria de más de treinta años dedicada a crear textos a partir de la observación, escucha e investigación de canciones, discografías y conciertos. Las crónicas de Enrique Blanc desafían los prejuicios y revelan la influencia de las conexiones personales en la apreciación de la música. Transparentan una indomable melomanía y destacan el poder universal de la música como un puente que conecta cómplices incondicionales en el camino.
Este libro es una antología de textos que he publicado en distintos diarios y revistas a lo largo de más de dos décadas en lasque he estado dedicado al periodismo musical, entre 1989 y 2012. A su vez, puede ser considerado un espejo fiel de mis gustos predilectos en lo que a música respecta, una colección de los músicos, discos y conciertos que más han influido en mi vida y en mi quehacer, elaborado a través de una selección rigurosa e inevitablemente acicateada por el sentimiento.
A partir de entrevistas con músicos de distintas generaciones y géneros, el autor realizó un ejercicio periodístico en el que conviven la crónica, el retrato y la historia de vida, cuyo objetivo es contribuir al registro de la historia cultural de esta región a través de testimonios, anécdotas y relatos que en conjunto muestran una panorámica local no sólo de la música y sus protagonistas, sino de los acontecimientos que han transformado Guadalajara en lo relativo a la convivencia social, al desarrollo económico y cultural.
Calificada como la enfermedad del siglo xxi, la depresión constituye un padecimiento que puede resultar mortal si no se atiende a tiempo, como demuestra el aumento alarmante de los suicidios alrededor del mundo. Víctima de esta afección, Mauricio Montiel Figueiras ha decidido compartir su experiencia, pues "hay que armarse de valor para alzar la voz y reconocer que se está deprimido; hablar de este trastorno es el primer paso para iniciar su tratamiento". A partir de un tejido narrativo que se mueve entre la crónica, el diario íntimo y el ensayo, acude lo mismo a la medicina y la filosofía que a la literatura y la vida de personajes que también han sufrido la mordedura de esta enfermedad, para ofrecer al lector un mosaico intenso que ilumina sus zonas más dolorosas y oscuras.

This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.

Modern liberal societies are submerged in conflict and disagreement. People disagree about almost everything—not only about matters of justice, but also about issues that are more private. They disagree on how to interpret freedom and equality; they disagree and even experience conflict with issues regarding the use of a veil, or children wearing crucifixes in public spaces; they also enter into conflict and disagreement regarding issues such as homosexuality, extramarital sex, drugs, euthanasia, abortion, suicide, and experimentation on animals. All these issues can be understood as moral problems, but we also have disagreements concerning other topics that are unrelated to moral issues. ...
