The Man of Genius

New Art of Cuba
Starting with the groundbreaking 1981 exhibit called "Volumen I," New Art of Cuba provided the first comprehensive look at the works of the first generation of Cuban artists completely shaped by the 1959 revolution. This revised edition includes a new epilogue that discusses developments in Cuban art since the book's publication in 1994, including the exodus of artists in the early 1990s, the effects of the new dollar economy on the status of artists, and the shift away from socialist themes to more personal concerns in the artists' works. Twenty-four new color plates augment the more than 200 b&w illustrations of the original volume.
Hispania and the Roman Mediterranean, AD 100-700
Gathers together and reviews the evidence for trends in production of table wares and amphora-borne goods across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearics from the second to the seventh century AD.
Hidden Hunger
Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.
Pèlerinages et miracles
Les recueils de miracles mariaux du monastère hiéronymite de Guadalupe rassemblent des textes qui, bien que rédigés par les religieux du sanctuaire, permettent d'entendre la voix de la inmensa mayoría - les gens du commun, les obscurs, les illettrés -, fait exceptionnel pour cette époque. C'est donc une sorte de mémoire religieuse collective qui se constitue, dans laquelle pèlerinages et miracles apparaissent comme les ressorts essentiels du culte de la Vierge de Guadalupe. Analysés aussi bien comme formes littéraires que comme sources documentaires, ces textes permettent d'appréhender le vécu religieux. Ils aident à saisir de façon concrète les liens entre religiosité populaire et gouvernement de l'Église. Dans la politique d'enregistrement des miracles comme dans l'inflexion des pratiques de dévotion apparaissent ainsi clairement les problèmes débattus lors du concile de Trente, tandis que la force d'un sentiment religieux caractérisé par une attente constante du merveilleux met à mal les cadres de la religion officielle. Ces recueils de miracles révèlent un aspect original des changements spirituels qui ont affecté l'Espagne du XVIe siècle.

Global Education Policy and International Development
Exploring the interplay between globalization, education and international development, this book surveys the impact of global education policies on local policy in developing countries. With chapters written by leading international scholars, drawing on a full range of theoretical perspectives and offering a diverse selection of case studies from Africa, Asia and South America, this book considers such topics as: How are global education agendas and policies formed and implemented? What is the impact of such policy priorities as public-private partnerships, child-centred pedagogies and school-based management? What are the effects of political and economic globalization on educational reform and change? How do mediating institutions affect the translation of global policies to particular educational contexts? What are the limitations of globalised policy solutions and what problems do they encounter at local levels? From students of education, development and globalization to practitioners working in developing contexts, this book is an important resource for those seeking to understand how global forces and local realities meet to shape education policy in the developing world.
