Translator’s Note “Perhaps Schopenhauer was right: I am all other men, any man is all men, Shakespeare is in some manner the miserable John Vincent Moon.” By opening his debut novel with these lines borrowed from Borges, Venezuelan author Luis Mora-Ballesteros foretells the central concern of his literary project: representing the universal in the particular. Here, the particular in question is the writer’s own Táchira State, in the rural borderland that straddles Venezuela and Colombia. In its portrayal of this place and its people Mora’s work exemplifies the defining themes of the twenty-first century: migration, assimilation, and the creation of new collective identities. Dipty...
Temprano, poco luego de rayar el sol, cuando emprendí mi viaje desde Tepehuanes, un municipio ubicado al noroeste de Durango, México, jamás imaginé la dureza de los días por venir, en mis intentos por radicarme y obtener la ciudadanía en los Estados Unidos. Esta es una historia real y se basa en la experiencia que tuve con un sheriff, un alguacil, de alto rango, cuya mala conducta hizo de mi vida un infierno; principalmente debido al abuso de poder, la intimidación y el acoso cibernético. No obstante, el destino funciona de manera misteriosa; las amenazas y el hostigamiento con los que me atormentaba el sheriff terminaron por hacerle perder su puesto y hasta su pensión de retiro.

Compartiré contigo varios capítulos que relatan cómo el Espíritu Santo forja nuestro carácter, nos ayuda en toda circunstancia, nos fortalece para vencer la adversidad, nos encamina a la conquista de nuestras batallas y nos inspira a seguir adelante, a medida que él nos sirve con entusiasmo en este ministerio de intercesión. En esta obra que entrego a cada uno de ustedes, he agregado y ampliado algunos temas que escribí en los devocionales Desarrollando un liderazgo sobrenatural (2012) y 21 días con el Espíritu Santo, obra compartida en el año 2018. Hoy los incluyo porque tengo la firme certeza de que abonarán en la bendición que Dios quiere impulsar en su Iglesia y en el ministerio de intercesión mundial. Invito a que ambos dispongamos nuestros corazones y permitamos que Dios obre y nos inspire por medio de este libro. Súmate conmigo a orar y abrir tu ser cuando estudies cada capítulo.

These topics are related to autonomous systems, industrial automation and robotics, modelling and systems identification, simulation procedures and experimental validations, control theory, artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensing and sensor fusion, multi-robot and multi-agent systems, field and service robotics, human robot interaction and interfaces, modelling of robotic systems, and the design of new robotic platforms.
Psychoanalysis and Other Disciplines Confront Prejudice: Discrimination Against the Other presents interdisciplinary perspectives on prejudice. This book considers both the negative and positive implications of a priori transmission of values and knowledge. It examines various aspects of prejudice from the perspectives of psychoanalysis, biology, sociology and law. The contributors consider prejudice to be a judgement that precedes experience; it organises and discriminates the events and facts we must assess to understand the world around us, thereby helping us make sense of the world of words, concepts, networks and values into which we are born. Chapters cover a range of topics such as racism, superstition, discrimination and prejudice in psychoanalytic practice. This volume provides a path-breaking treatment of prejudice and how it affects our lives and interactions with others. Psychoanalysts in training and in practice will find this book a vital resource.
