Una senda es un camino estrecho que se forma con el paso de personas, y este libro pretende contribuir a despejar la senda de la igualdad de género para que sea camino efectivo, para que se convierta en itinerario habitual y no se quede sólo en un recorrido imaginario. Casi once años después de la aprobación de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007, de 22 de marzo, para la igualdad efectiva de mujeres y hombres seguimos sin tener la igualdad real, aunque sí tenemos la normativa. Entre otros motivos, no podemos olvidar que justo ese mismo año de 2007 comenzó la crisis económica que aún estamos sufriendo, y que se ha dejado sentir muy notablemente en recortes económicos y presupuestos, por lo que...
“Classical Economics Today: Essays in Honor of Alessandro Roncaglia” comprises a collection of original essays by leading economists who adopt a Classical approach to political economy.

The human imagination manifests in countless different forms. We imagine the possible and the impossible. How do we do this so effortlessly? Why did the capacity for imagination evolve and manifest with undeniably manifold complexity uniquely in human beings? This handbook reflects on such questions by collecting perspectives on imagination from leading experts. It showcases a rich and detailed analysis on how the imagination is understood across several disciplines of study, including anthropology, archaeology, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and the arts. An integrated theoretical-empirical-applied picture of the field is presented, which stands to inform researchers, students, and practitioners about the issues of relevance across the board when considering the imagination. With each chapter, the nature of human imagination is examined - what it entails, how it evolved, and why it singularly defines us as a species.

Translating the Hebrew Bible in Medieval Iberia provides the princeps diplomatic edition and a comprehensive study of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Hunt. 268. The manuscript, produced in the Iberian Peninsula in the late thirteenth century, features a biblical glossary-commentary in Hebrew that includes 2,018 glosses in the vernacular and 156 in Arabic, and to date is the only manuscript of these characteristics known to have been produced in this region. Esperanza Alfonso has edited the text and presents here a study of it, examining its pedagogical function, its sources, its exegetical content, and its extraordinary value for the study of biblical translation in the Iberian Peninsula and in the Sephardic Diaspora. Javier del Barco provides a detailed linguistic study and a glossary of the corpus of vernacular glosses.
