PSICOLOGÍA DE LOS GRUPOS
La Psicología de los Grupos está unida de forma indisoluble a la Psicología Social y es necesaria para comprender los procesos abordados en la asignatura del mismo nombre, impartida en el primer curso del Grado de Psicología. Esto es así porque la vida de los seres humanos se desarrolla, desde su nacimiento, en el seno de diversos grupos, y esta pertenencia grupal condiciona, en buena medida, nuestra forma de pensar, sentir y actuar. En este manual se describen los fundamentos teóricos de diversos procesos grupales, detallándose, al mismo tiempo, las investigaciones sobre las que se sustentan las teorías formuladas. Se abordan aspectos tan importantes como la formación de los grupos...
Women, Politics, and Democracy in Latin America
This book discusses the current tendencies in women’s representation and their role in politics in Latin American countries from three different perspectives. Firstly, the authors examine cultural, political-partisan and organizational obstacles that women face in and outside institutions. Secondly, the book explores barriers in political reality, such as gender legislation implementation, public administration and international cooperation, and proposes solutions, supported by successful experiences, emphasising the nonlinearity of the implementation process. Thirdly, the authors highlight the role of women in politics at the subnational level. The book combines academic expertise in various disciplines with contributions from practitioners within national and international institutions to broaden the reader’s understanding of women in Latin American politics.
Sustainable Lighting & Lighting for Sustainability
The role of lighting is developing into a topic considered alongside sustainable development. Some years ago, lighting installations fulfilled technical requirements and consumed only enough energy for the accurate completion of visual tasks. This recently changed due to several discoveries in the matter of non-visual paths, whose influence on users' well-being, safety, mood, and productivity is starting to be applied to installations. Today, we know that sustainable development depends on many factors but we are only now beginning to understand how accurate lighting can be used to promote development from different perspectives. The present book compiles work dealing with the way lighting installations must be designed to work in an efficient and sustainable way, together with the way lighting can be used to contribute to sustainable development beyond the well-know savings in energy, green-house gas emissions, and raw materials consumption. The union of both concepts, sustainable lighting and lighting for sustainability is what is call "total lighting", the global framework with which the lighting community will work in the near future.

Investigación Acción
Vivimos en una sociedad paradójica. Poseemos unos valores que ensalzan la igualdad y la justicia y, sin embargo, es una realidad innegable que en nuestro país existen actualmente muchas personas que se sienten, y son, rechazadas y discriminadas por el hecho de pertenecer a determinados grupos o categorías sociales. Pensemos, por ejemplo, en las personas «sin techo», en las personas de etnia gitana, en las personas que viven con el VIH… Un término cada vez más utilizado en este contexto es el de «estigma». La estigmatización se produce cuando una persona posee de forma real, o a los ojos de los demás, algún atributo o característica que le proporciona una identidad social negat...
The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820)
The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820) is part of a renewal of interest in the global history of the Dominican Order. Many of the essays were carefully selected among some of the papers presented at the III International Conference on the History of the Order of Preachers in the Americas, a gathering that stands in continuity with the conferences of Mexico (2013) and Bogotá (2016). This book, the contributors of which are active researchers specializing in the history of the Order of Preachers in Latin America, is organized in four parts: Women and the Order of Preachers; “Benditos Bienes”: Libraries and Material Patrimony; Missions, Devotional, and Daily...
The Power of Entrepreneurs
Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.
Vernacular and Earthen Architecture: Conservation and Sustainability
Vernacular architecture in general and earthen architecture in particular, with their rich variety of forms worldwide, are custodians of the material culture and identity of the peoples who built them. In addition, they are widely recognized as ancestral examples of sustainability in all their variants and interpretations, and the architecture of the present ought to learn from these when designing the sustainable architecture of the future. The conservation of these architectures – seemingly simple yet full of wisdom – is to be undertaken now given their intrinsic value and their status as genuine examples of sustainability to be learnt from and interpreted in contemporary architecture. Vernacular and earthen architecture: Conservation and Sustainability will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and Architecture.
