Castañeda and his Guises
This volume responds to and reassesses the work of Hector-Neri Castañeda (1924-1991). The essays collected here, written by his students, followers, and opponents, examine Castañeda’s seminal views on deontic logic, metaethics, indedicality, praticitions, fictions, and metaphysics, utilizing the critical viewpoint afforded by time, as well as new data, to offer insights on his theories and methodology.
Savage and civilized
On a sunny January morning in 1833, through one of the Southern Channels of Tierra del Fuego, a British vessel sails alongside a smaller boat. The natives of the area, through screams and smoke, quickly communicate with each other the novelty, and dozens of canoes with hundreds of natives emerge to observe the peculiar event. Curious and friendly for the most part, somewhat aggressive at times, they observe the smallest boat approaching the shore with three Fuegians (two men and one woman) returning to their homeland after almost a year in London. To the surprise of their compatriots, who receive them almost naked, these three Fuegians dressed in European clothes, with short hair, speak Engl...
Down by the River
Lionel Bruno Jordan was murdered on January 20, 1995, in an El Paso parking lot, but he keeps coming back as the key to a multibillion-dollar drug industry, two corrupt governments -- one called the United States and the other Mexico -- and a self-styled War on Drugs that is a fraud. Beneath all the policy statements and bluster of politicians is a real world of lies, pain, and big money. Down by the River is the true narrative of how a murder led one American family into this world and how it all but destroyed them. It is the story of how one Mexican drug leader outfought and outthought the U.S. government, of how major financial institutions were fattened on the drug industry, and how the governments of the U.S. and Mexico buried everything that happened. All this happens down by the river, where the public fictions finally end and the facts read like fiction. This is a remarkable American story about drugs, money, murder, and family.

Organized Crime and Democratic Governability
The United States-Mexico border zone is one of the busiest and most dangerous in the world. NAFTA and rapid industrialization on the Mexican side have brought trade, travel, migration, and consequently, organized crime and corruption to the region on an unprecedented scale. Until recently, crime at the border was viewed as a local law enforcement problem with drug trafficking—a matter of "beefing" up police and "hardening" the border. At the turn of the century, that limited perception has changed. The range of criminal activity at the border now extends beyond drugs to include smuggling of arms, people, vehicles, financial instruments, environmentally dangerous substances, endangered spec...

Infidelidad genética y hormigas corruptas
"El gran problema del periodismo científico no es que cometa errores o que no consiga transmitir eficazmente su mensaje, sino que, como dice M. Albornoz, "impacta en las percepciones que se forman los ciudadanos sobre la ciencia y la tecnología. Los medios masivos son por lo tanto mecanismos importantes en la construcción de la imagen y las representaciones de la ciencia y la tecnología y, debido a ello, también son relevantes para la políticas de comunicación científica". Sin embargo, y este libro intenta mostrar eso, el periodismo científico no sólo no cumple con los objetivos que serían su razón de ser, sino que además contribuye a formar una imagen ingenua, deformada e ideológica de la ciencia. Para este libro se han analizado más de 300 artículos aparecidos en los diarios de mayor circulación en Argentina (muchos de ellos, traducciones de artículos aparecidos en periódicos de Europa y EEUU) en los últimos 10 años, lo cual convierte a esta selección en una muestra significativa por la cantidad, la extensión en el tiempo y por el volumen de lectores que han sufrido sus desmanes intelectuales." --Contratapa.
