Sabemos que el mundo de la educación es multidisciplinar y requiere estudios e investigaciones interdisciplinares. Cuando hablamos de lectura, no podemos hacerlo de una manera superficial, como mera transcripción de unos códigos escritos. Hablar de lectura es hablar de multitud de variables que afectan al proceso de desarrollo de la persona. Factores que se encuentran dentro del proceso de aprendizaje y, por lo tanto, de la educación de las personas. Es posible que hoy día no se lea porque leer no es necesario para ganar dinero pero, sin duda, una de las peores pobrezas es la pobreza espiritual, la que te esclaviza en el gueto de la ignorancia.Por ello, cualquier sociedad que quiera educar a sus ciudadanos debe valorar la lectura en su justa medida. No se puede entender una sociedad educadora sin la lectura, de aquí el título de este libro: Sociedad educadora, sociedad lectora, que recoge las ponencias y comunicaciones del XXII Seminario Interuniversitario de Pedagogía Social, organizado por la SIPS y el CEPLI, que tuvo lugar en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación y Humanidades de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha.

The "spirit of sonship" is an apostolic grace which brings about the spiritual maturity of the believer, the revival of apostolic Christianity, and ultimately, the maturity of the church in preparation for the coming of Christ. This important book reveals that the values and heart attitudes of what we may call the spirit of sonship is the very nature and essence of authentic apostolic New Testament Christianity. You will discover a fresh approach to understanding and walking in grace, through relationships. The subject is huge, and wonderful; the whole of the Scriptures and all of salvation history must now be seen in the light of sonship and its implications.

Professor Roger Stenson Clark has played a pivotal role in developing International Criminal Law, and the movement against nuclear weapons. He was one of the intellectual and moral fathers of the International Criminal Court. This Festschrift brings together forty-one appreciative friends to honour his remarkable contribution. The distinguished contributors provide incisive contributions ranging from the reform of the Security Council, to rule of law and international justice in Africa, to New Zealand cultural heritage, to customary international law in US courts, and more. Threaded through these richly diverse contributions is one common feature: a belief in values and morality in human conduct, and a passion for transformative use of law, ‘for the sake of present and future generations.’
A generous endowment of natural resources should favour rapid economic and social development. The experience of countries like Angola and Iraq, however, suggests that resource wealth often proves a curse rather than a blessing. Billions of dollars from resource exploitation benefit repressive regimes and rebel groups, at a massive cost for local populations. This Adelphi Paper analyses the economic and political vulnerability of resource-dependent countries; assesses how resources influence the likelihood and course of conflicts; and discusses current initiatives to improve resource governance in the interest of peace. It concludes that long-term stability in resource-exporting regions will depend on their developmental outcomes, and calls for a broad reform agenda prioritising the basic needs and security of local populations.
