Us and the Others...At the Southern Border of Mexico

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Palibrio

This book is a progressive work in the effort of revealing what is happening in a small part of a shared territory, where despite the government's progress in creating legal frameworks, in addition to the aid and support granted by many national and international humanitarian organizations to migrants, time seems to have grinded to a halt. The phenomenon remains persistent. The floating population increases day by day. The modalities of snaring migrants have become diversified and more aggressive; but questions arise: is there a limit to human suffering? Would you give the victims in their interrelationships, human suffering, the minimum ethical conceptualization, even when you know immorality dwells inside some of their homes? Would life still make sense to them? What happened to the individual and collective moral conscience of policymakers? This is a narrative wherein, while in principle reflects reality, the author used her knowledge of the context and extraordinary imagination to give life to an unprecedented work.

Death Is All around Us

Death Is All around Us

Late nineteenth-century Mexico was a country rife with health problems. In 1876, one out of every nineteen people died prematurely in Mexico City, a staggeringly high rate when compared to other major Western world capitals at the time, which saw more modest premature death rates of one out of fifty-two (London), one out of forty-four (Paris), and one out of thirty-five (Madrid). It is not an exaggeration to maintain that each day dozens of bodies could be found scattered throughout the streets of Mexico City, making the capital city one of the most unsanitary places in the Western Hemisphere. In light of such startling scenes, in Death Is All around Us Jonathan M. Weber examines how Mexican...

Beyond Secular Faith

Attempts to reach an understanding of how to live a Christian life in the contemporary context have never been more necessary. This is the aim of the International Symposium: Beyond Secular Faith, an annual conference held in Granada, Spain. This volume represents the fruits of over seven years of scholarship. The title Beyond Secular Faith suggests we are interested in (re)discovering and reflectively elaborating ways to overcome the limits imposed by the dominant contemporary culture. We are convinced that only a faith liberated from the conceptual restrictions and reductions (put forward by secular philosophy and theology) and centered radically on Christ can flourish in the dimension that is proper to faith; that is, in all spheres of human life. Featuring contributions from internationally recognized philosophers and theologians such as Tracey Rowland, Jarosław Jagiello, Rocco Buttiglione, Alison Milbank, Massimo Borghesi, John Milbank, and others, we will explore a diversity of questions from this common perspective: the light of revelation illuminates how Christians should live in the modern world, leading to a new beginning.

Louisa of Woods' Crossing

Louisa of Woods Crossing is about the Texas frontier just prior to the 1836 War of Texas Independence. The fourteen year-old heroine of the story lived during times of hardships and dangers including nightmarish depredations by hostile Indians inclined to barbarous acts. Nothing was more feared than raids on cabins and the terrifying abductions of teen-aged girls. The family homestead on the Lavaca River was that of the typical log cabin with fi elds, pastures, and the customary animals except for two red wolf watchdogs adopted as orphaned pups. The story is also an endearing one of close friendships with other pioneer girls.

Es una obra magistral como complemento al libro Productividad, aqu el autor detalla con un lenguaje sencillo la importancia que tiene conocer el mtodo de la productividad para la superacin personal y el desarrollo organizacional; expone que existe una incongruencia entre el conocimiento y la conducta egosta del poder, al comparar los adelantos tecnolgicos con la pobreza y desigualdad que hay en el subdesarrollo, y que la principal causa de este problema es por utilizar informacin falsa o maquillada, en lo social, en lo poltico y en lo econmico; porque es intil o estril, plagada de mentiras y engaos hacia los ms necesitados, como resultado de la ausencia de valores humanos, por falta de tica ...
