El cambio en la forma de lectura es una realidad. Los contenidos de esta obra aportan un indicio de los ejes que concitaron el debate entre los profesionales en torno a las posibilidades de actuación de la docencia para impulsar la lectura en un nuevo ecosistema caracterizado por la implantación de lo digital. Las trece presentaciones que contiene la obra recogen las intervenciones que tuvieron lugar en el Instituto de Empresa University de Segovia en el curso dedicado a las nuevas formas de lectura en la era digital. La principal conclusión que se subrayó en el curso fue que son los profesores quienes marcan la diferencia en las formas de lectura por lo que esta obra es de gran utilidad para que los profesionales profundicen en el conocimiento de las posibilidades que ofrece el entorno digital para la formación de nuevos lectores en nuestro sistema educativo.

Códigos artísticos y desarrollo de la expresión en la competencia cultural artística

El desarrollo de la competencia cultural y artística favorece el acceso del alumnado al arte y a la cultura fomentando su sensibilidad, estimulando la valoración crítica de las manifestaciones artísticas como patrimonio de las civilizaciones y colaborando en el desarrollo de su expresión mediante el conocimiento y uso de los distintos códigos artísticos. Esta competencia implica mucho más que conocimiento y habilidades artísticas y culturales, incluye todo aquello que es necesario para poder enfrentarse a situaciones reales como la realidad y diversidad cultural y artística. Este libro pretende ofrecer referentes que permitan situar las dimensiones de la competencia cultural y artística, analizando su papel en la etapa de Educación Secundaria. Para ello facilita estrategias didácticas, recursos docentes e instrumentos prácticos para favorecer el proceso de aprendizaje/enseñanza y entra en contacto directo con experiencias docentes y buenas prácticas.

Views of the Cordilleras and Monuments of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas

In 1799, Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland set out to determine whether the Orinoco River connected with the Amazon. But what started as a trip to investigate a relatively minor geographical controversy became the basis of a five-year exploration throughout South America, Mexico, and Cuba. The discoveries amassed by Humboldt and Bonpland were staggering, and much of today’s knowledge of tropical zoology, botany, geography, and geology can be traced back to Humboldt’s numerous records of these expeditions. One of these accounts, Views of the Cordilleras and Monuments of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, firmly established Alexander von Humboldt as the founder of Mesoamerican...

  • Publisher: Springer

This book is a compilation of papers examining the impacts of global change (GC) on water resources systems. Mainly focusing on groundwater resources in Western Mediterranean countries, it shows that this topic is one of the most important challenges facing society. The papers explore developments in both Southern Europe and North Africa, where major impacts on the sustainability, quantity, quality, and management of water resources are expected to emerge. Although most global change publications focus on surface water, the number of research papers addressing global change and groundwater has grown rapidly in recent years. Continuing that welcome trend, this book gathers the main findings presented at the “Congress on Groundwater and Global Change in the Western Mediterranean” (Granada, Spain, November 6–9, 2017), which brought together researchers and technicians interested in groundwater issues affecting this geographic area.

The First Anglo-Afghan War began in early 1839 when the British undertook an invasion of Afghanistan from India with the aim of overthrowing the Afghan ruler, Amir Dost Mohammad Khan, and replacing him with the supposedly pro-British former ruler, Shah Shujaʻ. The British were at first successful. They installed Shah Shujaʻ as ruler in Jalalabad and forced Dost Mohammad to flee the country. But in 1841 Dost Mohammad returned to Afghanistan to lead an uprising against the invaders and Shah Shujaʻ. In one of the most disastrous defeats in British military history, in January 1842 an Anglo-Indian force of 4,500 men and thousands of followers was routed by Afghan tribesmen. The British then s...
