La escuela infantil se ha convertido en un observatorio privilegiado desde el que analizar la evolución de la sociedad occidental. El profesorado de educación infantil se mueve, a veces, en un terreno de incertidumbres que le obliga a superar ideas estereotipadas para buscar sentido a situaciones familiares poco comunes y adecuar a ellas la dinámica pedagógica cotidiana. Este libro quiere ser una herramienta para que los equipos educativos fomenten la reflexión y la búsqueda de recursos. En los diferentes capítulos se abordan algunas de las situaciones que se manifiestan en la escuela aunque no tengan un origen genuinamente escolar. Se trata de temas novedosos, resultado de cambios sociales que afectan a la familia, a la escuela, a los educadores y educadoras y, finalmente, a la infancia. Además del acercamiento a estos temas, el libro incluye propuestas para encauzar las distintas situaciones y ayudar a definir cuál podría ser la intervención educativa más adecuada.

Sacred Skin offers the first systematic evaluation of the dissemination and development of the cult of St. Bartholomew in Spain. Exploring the paradoxes of hagiographic representation and their ambivalent effect on the observer, the book focuses on literary and visual testimonies produced from the emergence of a distinctive vernacular voice through to the formalization of Bartholomew’s saintly identity and his transformation into a key expression of Iberian consciousness. Drawing on and extending advances in cultural criticism, particularly theories of selfhood and the complex ontology of the human body, its five chapters probe the evolution of hagiographic conventions, demonstrating how flaying poses a unique challenge to our understanding of the nature and meaning of identity.

An up-to-date examination of Mexico's version of the "War on Drugs" that exposes the evolution of major cartels and their corruption of politicians, law-enforcement agencies, and the Army. What can President Enrique Peña Nieto do to curb the narcotics-induced mayhem in Mexico, and what would be the consequences to the United States if he fails? This book analyzes Mexico's transition from a relatively peaceful kleptocracy controlled by the Tammany-Hall style Institutional Revolutionary Party/PRI (19292000) to a country plagued by rural and urban enclaves of grotesque violence. The author examines the major drug cartels and their success in infiltrating American and Mexican businesses; details the response from the Obama administration; assesses the threat that the continuing bloodshed represents for the United States; and emphasizes the constraints on America's ability to solve Mexico's crisis, despite U.S. contributions of intelligence, military equipment, training, and diplomatic support.
