Voces -30. Nueva narrativa chilena
"Las generaciones literarias son incómodas como respuestas pero inevitables como preguntas. Esta antología plantea la pregunta por una nueva generación literaria con avidez. Una pregunta que se respondió demasiado pronto, y acaso precipitadamente, en el Chile post-dictadura de los '90. Una pregunta que permanece abierta, todavía sin cuajar, respecto de los narradores que empezaron a publicar en esa década. Una pregunta que se abre nuevamente, en estos extendidos prolegómenos del siglo XXI, a través de un conjunto pujante de nuevos escritores de los cuales se quiere dar una muestra sucinta en este volumen. Desde luego no es claro que los una nada. Pero los temas del desamparo, la dificultad de establecer relaciones duraderas, la banalidad de los medios de comunicación y una cierta desconfianza en la literatura, sobre todo la pomposa y engolada, son algunos de los rasgos que parecen recorrer el conjunto de los relatos. Antes de que el tiempo de su respuesta definitiva, será el lector el encargado de elegir qué caminos le interesa recorrer, a qué autores acompañar, y por qué. Pablo Torche, escritor
The Appreciative Organization
In clear and direct language, the volume treats the challenges of decision making, leadership, group functioning, personnel evaluation, and the relationship of the organization to its context.
Appreciative Inquiry
This book provides a concise introduction to and overview of the growing discipline and practice of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). If you are intrigued by the prospect of mobilizing rapid, positive change with multiple stakeholders in a human system that is important to you, this book is for you.
Appreciative Inquiry
Written by the two most recognized Appreciative Inquiry thought leaders A quick, accessible introduction to one of the most popular change methods today--proven effective in organizations ranging from Roadway Express and British Airways to the United Nations and the United States Navy Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a model of change management uniquely suited to the values, beliefs, and challenges of organizations today. AI is a process that emphasizes identifying and building on strengths, rather than focusing exclusively on fixing weaknesses as most other change processes do. As the stories in this book illustrate, it results in dramatic improvements in the triple bottom line: people, profit...
Centering Hope as a Sustainable Decolonial Practice
Where is the hope? What does it look like? Is the Christian church providing a hope that materializes in the grounding of people’s thriving? These questions posed the catalysts of this work where the author sets up a journey that parses the definition of hope within Christian theology as an ontological category of the human experience. Through ethnographic research and ecclesial study of diverse congregations in Puerto Rico the work moves from an articulation of context, hope, practice, and future to reveal its aim of liberation through a hope that can be sustainable in time and space. She analyzes the operations of political systems that suppress hope in the island. Weaving the theme of a theology of hope, with the fields of ecclesiology, memory studies, postcolonial and decolonial theory, liberation theology, and the study of social movements she builds a model that puts hope at the center of socio-economic practices and moves toward a recipe for a hope that is sustainable in practice.
Managerial Logic
The publication of the first book by Kenneth Arrow and Hervé Raynaud, in 1986, led to an important wave of research in the field of axiomatic approach applied to managerial logic. Managerial Logic summarizes the prospective results of this research and offers consultants, researchers, and decision makers a unified framework for handling the difficult decisions they face. Based on confirmed results of experimental psychology, this book places the problem in a phenomenological framework and shows how the influence of traditional methods has slowed the effective resolution of these problems. It provides a panorama of principal concepts and theorems demonstrated on axiomatized methods to guide ...

Iron and Cobalt Catalysts
Since the turn of the last century when the field of catalysis was born, iron and cobalt have been key players in numerous catalysis processes. These metals, due to their ability to activate CO and CH, haev a major economic impact worldwide. Several industrial processes and synthetic routes use these metals: biomass-to-liquids (BTL), coal-to-liquids (CTL), natural gas-to-liquids (GTL), water-gas-shift, alcohol synthesis, alcohol steam reforming, polymerization processes, cross-coupling reactions, and photocatalyst activated reactions. A vast number of materials are produced from these processes, including oil, lubricants, waxes, diesel and jet fuels, hydrogen (e.g., fuel cell applications), ...
¡Basta! + de 100 Mujeres contra la violencia de género
La conocida escritora Virginia Vidal, señala: -“De esta creación femenina resultan verdaderas joyas destinadas a permanecer en el tiempo. Cien formas de asomarse a una realidad palpable y atroz que nuestro país necesita asumir, constituyen un paisaje poblado de historias que sublevan, entristecen, imponen una reflexión”. En la segunda edición junto a a los cuentos de Alejandra Costmagna, Andrea Jeftanovic o Lina Meruane, se compilan los textos de Carmen Berenguer, Larissa Contreras, Soledad Fariña, Nona Fernández y Eugenia Prado, entre otras, las que aceptaron el reto de escribir un mini relato acerca de la violencia de género en no más de 150 palabras.
