El hecho de que actualmente nos encontremos insertos dentro de una gran reforma educativa universitaria, hace surgir la necesidad de adecuar los materiales docentes a sistemas de enseñanza distintos al tradicional y a los nuevos planes de estudio, lo cual se está traduciendo en la publicación de nuevas obras adaptadas a los nuevos enfoques. En esta línea se inscriben estas «Lecciones introductorias al Derecho», en las que se ha pretendido realizar una labor de síntesis, acercamiento y aprendizaje activo que recoja las cuestiones fundamentales o básicas que deben de conocer aquellos estudiantes que deseen obtener el título de Graduado en Derecho; pero no exclusivamente, pues también puede ser útil en otras titulaciones afines al mismo, dado que su formato es relativamente flexible para permitir fácilmente servir de guía a la hora de impartir docencia en las distintas disciplinas que estudian el fenómeno jurídico.

“Genius?” The tall old man with the fan-shaped beard looked eagerly at his companion, then settled back more heavily against the rows and rows of old books lining the walls to the ceiling on all sides of the room. “Of course Edgar was a genius, but in spite of being a gambler and a drunkard—in spite of it, I tell you!” The other, a thin man of lesser years, his long, inquiring face meditative in the twilight, nodded. “You are right,” he agreed. “But what difference did it make? The only question is, would ‘The Raven’ have been any greater without his gambling and drinking? I doubt it.” The argument was on, and my uncle, Moses Polock, would lean forward now and again, wa...

This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.
A guide to the chemical agents that protect plants from various environmental stressors Protective Chemical Agents in the Amelioration of Plant Abiotic Stress offers a guide to the diverse chemical agents that have the potential to mitigate different forms of abiotic stresses in plants. Edited by two experts on the topic, the book explores the role of novel chemicals and shows how using such unique chemical agents can tackle the oxidative damages caused by environmental stresses. Exogenous application of different chemical agents or chemical priming of seeds presents opportunities for crop stress management. The use of chemical compounds as protective agents has been found to improve plant t...
