El psicópata con poder está en su salsa. Su natural narcisismo le devuelve una y otra vez una imagen embellecida que justifica, en todo, su accionar; no hay resquicio, en su mente, para el error propio. Sin error no hay arrepentimiento y sin arrepentimiento no hay corrección del rumbo, sino persistencia. Su obrar psicopático se ajusta a sus códigos propios y lo hace impermeable e intolerante a las críticas. El que lo critica no es un adversario, sino un enemigo. El líder no psicópata adversario del psicópata, en cambio, es una persona que dirige personas y basa su poder en el consenso, en la discusión. Al no saber que se opone a un psicópata trata de elaborar sus estrategias basadas en un error: la empatía, “si yo estuviese en su lugar…”. El psicópata no piensa como él, no es empático. Es un depredador voraz e impiadoso. Espero contar con un lector que se atreva a lo nuevo, que se despoje de prejuicios e ideologías, que no confunda distinguir con discriminar, y que me acompañe en este apasionante laberinto de desmesuras que conforman la mente del psicópata (Hugo Marietan).
In comprehensive detail Margaret King analyzes the activities of the patricians who were predominant in the ranks of the humanists and who made humanist thought a powerful tool in the service of their class and of the city itself.

The book examines the governing roles of the police in Argentina, focusing on Seguridad, which conflates personal safety with state security.
"The aftermath of Argentina's last dictatorship (1976-1983) has traditionally been associated with narratives of suffering, which recall the loss of the 30,000 civilians infamously known as the "disappeared." When democracy was recovered, the unspoken rule was that only those related by blood to the missing were entiteld to ask for justice. This book both queries and queers this bloodline normativity. Drawing on queer theory and performance studies, it develops an alternative framework for understanding the affective transmission of trauma beyond traditional family settings. To do so, it introduces an archive of non-normative acts of mourning that runs across different generations. Through the analysis of a broad spectrum of performances--including interviews, memoirs, cooking sessions, films, jokes, theatrical productions and literature--the book shows how the experience of loss has not only produced a well-known imaginary of suffering but also new forms of collective pleasure"--Back cover.
This book on migraine is the first machine-generated scientific book in medicine published by Springer Nature, and reflects a new publication format which focuses on literature reviews: state-of-the-art computer algorithms were applied to select relevant sources from Springer Nature journal articles, rearrange them in a topical order, and provide short summaries of these articles. The result is the auto-summarization of current texts, organized by means of a similarity-based clustering routine in coherent chapters and sections. The human intervention of a world-renowned expert in this field grants the scientific soundness and appropriate organization of the contents identified. The AI-based ...
Este vagar del pensamiento […] por caminos sin metas es semejante al pensar pensando, donde cada tanto nos sorprende un descubrimiento con valor de meta. En cuanto a las metas sin caminos, entiendo que se corresponden con hacer pasar los resultados de ese pensar distraído por el trazado que reconoce los rigores de la escritura. Algo así como trazar caminos para esas metas descubiertas en la distracción […]. Esta soltura me ayuda y me reconcilia con el escribir en este momento”. Salud ele-Mental. Con toda la mar detrás recorre, por momentos “hablando al azar de la memoria y sus vicisitudes”, conceptos clave de la psicología social como la Numerosidad Social, entre otros, al tiempo que propone una reconceptualización de la salud mental, desde (mejor dicho, con) la propia voz de su autor. Fernando Ulloa nos dejó en estas páginas no sólo parte de su vasta experiencia como “operador en la producción de salud mental”, sino también muchas de sus percepciones sobre temas que trascienden el campo de la psicología, del cual es considerado nada menos que uno de sus precursores en nuestro país.
Publisher description
This volume suggests a new way of doing global history. Instead of offering a sweeping and generalizing overview of the past, we propose a ‘micro-spatial’ approach, combining micro-history with the concept of space. A focus on primary sources and awareness of the historical discontinuities and unevennesses characterizes the global history that emerges here. We use labour as our lens in this volume. The resulting micro-spatial history of labour addresses the management and recruitment of labour, its voluntary and coerced spatial mobility, its political perception and representation and the workers’ own agency and social networks. The individual chapters are written by contributors whose expertise covers the late medieval Eastern Mediterranean to present-day Sierra Leone, through early modern China and Italy, eighteenth-century Cuba and the Malvinas/Falklands, the journeys of a missionary between India and Brazil and those of Christian captives across the Ottoman empire and Spain. The result is a highly readable volume that addresses key theoretical and methodological questions in historiography. Chapter 7 is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
