Este libro surgió desde la Red latinoamericana de estudio e intervención en felicidad y bienestar consolidada a finales del año 2020. El inicio de este feliz equipo de trabajo se dio a partir de las inquietudes de un grupo de investigadores de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia, pertenecientes al Grupo Psicología Desarrollo Emocional y Educación que se interesaron en el análisis y estudio de diferentes problemas relacionados con la calidad de vida y el bienestar. De estas inquietudes nació el evento denominado Coloquio Internacional: Felicidad y Bienestar Humano, cuya primera edición se realizó en 2016 y posteriormente se ha realizado bianualmente (2018 y 2020), cumpliendo ya tres versiones, en las cuales participaron diferentes investigadores y conferencistas sobre el tema y los enfoques particulares propuestos para cada edición.
Las profesiones ocupan un papel central dentro de la dinámica de la vida social y a lo largo de la historia han sido valoradas y reconocidas socialmente por el aporte que hacen a la sociedad al contribuir a su bienestar y desarrollo. Actualmente, toda sociedad muestra su fortaleza en función del desarrollo de las instituciones que la conforman, siendo una de ellas la profesión, concepto que siempre ha estado ligado a la evolución y desarrollo de las sociedades.

This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances examines the collective action of the courageous family members of the disappeared in the midst of Mexico’s ongoing humanitarian crisis over the last decades. Yael Siman and Matthew Hone analyze this grassroots mobilization and argue that the activists have created rutinary, contentious, and innovative types of resistance through building local and trans-local links of support and solidarity that reinforce their struggle. This mobilization from below has contributed to constructing transitional justice including laws, public apologies, and memorials. The combination of internal and external factors impacting the collectives and their environment has enabled significant changes in the institutions, state responses, and the victimhood narratives in the country. This book adds to the scholarship on the collective action of grieving families by focusing on both the social and political aspects of mobilization.
The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.

"Character" has become a front-and-center topic in contemporary discourse, but this term does not have a fixed meaning. Character may be simply defined by what someone does not do, but a more active and thorough definition is necessary, one that addresses certain vital questions. Is character a singular characteristic of an individual, or is it composed of different aspects? Does character--however we define it--exist in degrees, or is it simply something one happens to have? How can character be developed? Can it be learned? Relatedly, can it be taught, and who might be the most effective teacher? What roles are played by family, schools, the media, religion, and the larger culture? This gr...
