The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child
This multidisciplinary volume offers an essential, comprehensive study of perspectives on the scope and application of the best interests of the child and focuses mainly on its application in relation to child custody. With expert contributions from psychological, sociological and legal perspectives, it offers scientific analysis and debate on whether it should be the primary consideration in deciding child custody cases in cases of divorce or separation or whether it should be one of several primary considerations. It explores complex dilemmas inherent in shared parenting and whether the advantages it offers children are sufficient when compared to attributing custody to one parent and limi...
PSYCHOLOGY: Research Innovations in young minds
For the past years, more emphasis has been given in understanding the level of cultural adjustment that individuals face on migrating to a new country. Not much attention has been given on studying repatriates. This phenomenological study deals with the experiences of 17 Indian repatriates, their emotional challenges and the various coping strategies that they had to employ in order to smoothen their repatriation process on returning to their home country. Six main themes were identified on applying thematic analysis to the individual semi-structured interviews: relief from hardships faced in the host country, stronger bond with the home country, feeling of being an alien in your home countr...
A Brief History of Genetics
Biological inheritance, the passage of key characteristics down the generations, has always held mankind’s fascination. It is fundamental to the breeding of plants and animals with desirable traits. Genetics, the scientific study of inheritance, can be traced back to a particular set of simple but ground-breaking studies carried out 170 years ago. The awareness that numerous diseases are inherited gives this subject considerable medical importance. The progressive advances in genetics now bring us to the point where we have unravelled the entire human genome, and that of many other species. We can intervene very precisely with the genetic make-up of our agricultural crops and animals, and even ourselves. Genetics now enables us to understand cancer and develop novel protein medicines. It has also provided us with DNA fingerprinting for the solving of serious crime. This book explains for a lay readership how, where and when this powerful science emerged.
Fenomenología criminal y criminología comparada
A la fenomenología criminal compete hacer factible que la Criminiología disponga del objeto material necesario para iniciar su contenido de esclarecer en lo posible, de forma rigurosa y persuasiva, el campo de la criminalidad. Esto explica la enorme relevancia que hay que atribuir a la Fenomenología Criminal como parte integrante de la Criminología científica. Esta función es imprescindible tanto para la Criminología en general como para cualquier Criminología específica. También, sin duda, para la llamada Criminología comparada, con intenso predicamento en la actualidad. Y con razón, porque cuando la misma se elabora con competencia y ciencia, permite ponderar, sinópticamente, la veracidad y posible aplicación global, o no, de las principales conclusiones de las investigaciones criminológicas. Queda así justificada la publicación de esta obra monográfica, encaminada a examinar la Fenomenología criminal y la Criminología comparada.

El flautista en el camino
¿Alguna vez has vivido una situación que creíste haber soñado anteriormente? ¿Qué harías si te encontraras contigo mismo? El Flautista en el Camino es una historia a mitad de camino entre el suspense heredero de Hitchcock y la introspección de Auster o Murakami, siempre con la voz personal del protagonista como hilo conductor de una historia llena de déjà vus, eventos extraños, casualidades y música. Jaime parece una persona introvertida, con una vida tranquila y aislada, hasta que un día, un sueño, un encuentro y una alucinación trastocarán su realidad y le harán iniciar una búsqueda donde realidad, sueño, pasado y presente se confundirán en un juego de espejos y posibilidades.
