Caring for the People of the Clouds
In rural Mexico, people often say that Alzheimer’s does not exist. “People do not have Alzheimer’s because they don’t need to worry,” said one Oaxacan, explaining that locals lack the stresses that people face “over there”—that is, in the modern world. Alzheimer’s and related dementias carry a stigma.

Pensar y Transformar: un legado de Manuel Sérgio
Pensar y Transformar: un legado de Manuel Sérgio Este libro es un homenaje a la persona, el profesor, el político, el filósofo Manuel Sérgio, creador de la ciencia de la motricidad humana (CMH) que se corporifica en la escritura de 15 textos elaborados para la ocasión por 17 investigadores de la Red Internacional de Investigadores en Motricidad humana (RIIMH). Los escritos tratan, esencialmente, de aquello que resultó de la convivencia de los autores con Manuel Sérgio -sus obras, su presencia viva, corporificada en el decir, en el oír, en el cantar, en el reír, en el declamar, en el intercambio de correspondencia, en el compartir, en fin, en las expresiones motricias de nuestra humanidad. En esta producción escrita, se mezclan ideas filosófico-científicas, sentimientos personales, relatos de experiencias, reflexiones, poemas, siguiendo algunas de las pautas y principios de la CMH.

Aid in Danger
Humanitarian aid workers increasingly remain present in contexts of violence and are injured, kidnapped, and killed as a result. Since 9/11 and in response to these dangers, aid organizations have fortified themselves to shield their staff and programs from outside threats. In Aid in Danger, Larissa Fast critically examines the causes of violence against aid workers and the consequences of the approaches aid agencies use to protect themselves from attack. Based on more than a decade of research, Aid in Danger explores the assumptions underpinning existing explanations of and responses to violence against aid workers. According to Fast, most explanations of attacks locate the causes externall...
