One chilly November morning in 1927, a slender young priest stood before a firing squad in Mexico City. Five shots cracked through the air, and he fell lifeless on the ground. The man was Miguel Agustin Pro, S.J. His crime? Being a Catholic priest. As a member of the Society of Jesus, Father Pro had worked hard and patiently to bring bread to the poor and the Holy Eucharist to the faithful. Like all Catholic priests in his day, he was deeply hated and viciously hunted by the secret police and the army of the anti-clerical government of Mexico. After Father Pro eluded them many times with disguises and hiding places, when he was finally captured, he was promptly executed without a trial. Father Pro's generous love for the poor, the young, the sick, the tempted, and the spiritually weak attracted many hearts to him, and through him to Christ. In addition to his charity, his wit and courage make him a model for all Christians, especially those being persecuted for their faith and young people, who are inspired by his heroism.
Dentro del proyecto PAPIME se propuso la elaboración de un libro que reuniera los diversos enfoques y temas que debe abordar el profesional de enfermería para el estudio de la salud familiar, de esta manera se comenzó la búsqueda de material idóneo que sirviera para la producción de diversos capítulos.

En esta obra abordamos un tema de alta tensión entre dos tendencias que son visibles al interior de la iglesia católica. Se trata del choque entre tradición y contemporaneidad, que está representado, por un lado, por aquellos teólogos y obispos que son fieles a la tradición, y por el otro, aquellos teólogos llamados progresistas o renovadores que han producido teología fuera de los marcos oficiales, lo que ha dado origen a una diversidad de sanciones dictadas desde Roma. Este libro da voz a la reflexión teológica renovada, aquella que disiente de las posturas conservadoras y que ha sido creada por jesuitas y exjesuitas, claretianos, diocesanos y exfranciscanos, que son los testimon...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
