Iniciativas para la sustentabilidad. Transformando personas, construyendo país
En esta obra se reúnen las iniciativas, pero también las experiencias vividas, por las y los autores que han participado como estudiantes de distintas promociones de las siete primeras versiones del Diplomado en Educación para el Desarrollo Sustentable y cómo este, tanto en la interacción del ejercicio académico de intercambio de saberes como la experiencia –en sí misma– de haberlo cursado ha significado en su desarrollo como persona y en la ejecución de su iniciativa en el colectivo al que pertenece. Consideramos, entonces, que el mayor mérito de este libro es presentar la huella que ha dejado en las y los autores de las iniciativas este diplomado surgido en una época de movilizaciones sociales por una educación gratuita y de calidad que ha marcado a la sociedad chilena.
Discovery Of The Higgs Boson
The recent observation of the Higgs boson has been hailed as the scientific discovery of the century and led to the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics. This book describes the detailed science behind the decades-long search for this elusive particle at the Large Electron Positron Collider at CERN and at the Tevatron at Fermilab and its subsequent discovery and characterization at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Written by physicists who played leading roles in this epic search and discovery, this book is an authoritative and pedagogical exposition of the portrait of the Higgs boson that has emerged from a large number of experimental measurements. As the first of its kind, this book should be of interest to graduate students and researchers in particle physics.

Metasemantics and Intersectionality in the Misinformation Age
This book investigates the impact of misinformation and the role of truth in political struggle. It develops a theory of objective truth for political controversy over topics such as racism and gender, based on the insights of intersectionality, the Black feminist theory of interlocking systems of oppression. Truth is defined using the tools of model theory and formal semantics, but the theory also captures how social power dynamics strongly influence the operation of the concept of truth within the social fabric. Systemic ignorance, propagated through false speech and misinformation, sustains oppressive power structures and perpetuates systemic inequity. Truth tends to empower marginalized groups precisely because oppressive systems are maintained through systemic ignorance. If the truth sets people free, then power will work to obscure it. Hence, the rise of misinformation as a political weapon is a strategy of dominant power to undermine the political advancement of marginalized groups.
