Chess
Michael and Ruben are paralyzed. Michael has myopathy and Ruben has cerebral palsy. Both are orphans. Soviet Union is what's outside their window. Neither one can lift a shovel or a house painter's brush. The state machine knows what to do with this ballast: adjust the clock on their lifespans and send them straight from orphanage to the nursing home - to die. Ruben and Michael are roommates. Ruben, being "healthier", does all the physical work while Michael is all about strategizing and planning ahead. It is difficult, almost impossible, but they have no choice. How does one live and what does one think when there is no future? What is there to hold onto in this world that is killing you sl...
Sic erat
Dans les quatre évangiles canoniques, la période de la vie de Jésus Christ entre 8 et 28 ans a été délibérément omise. Quel mystère cela dissimule-t-il ? Les représentations récentes de Jésus dans les films et les livres le dépeignent comme quelqu’un de délicat, sentimental et hésitant. Pourtant, son message n’aurait pas traversé les siècles s’il avait réellement été comme cela. Comment son caractère et ses idées se sont-ils formés ? Sa vie et son impact constituent l’un des fondements de la civilisation occidentale, le récit de sa vie et de son message n’aurait-il pas été altéré au fil des siècles ? Jésus a proclamé qu’un riche n’entrerait jamais...
Staying in the Fight
During the chaotic evacuation of the United States from Afghanistan in 2021, a group of Congress members who were also military veterans of the War on Terror leapt into action to assist vulnerable people in Afghanistan who had aided the American war effort. This cohort of legislators and their staffs on Capitol Hill created hotlines and worked 24-hour shifts in an intense effort to save lives, often coordinating between government agencies, informal networks of veterans' groups, and contacts on the ground in Kabul. In the process, many veteran lawmakers also became vocal critics of presidential management of the crisis and said they felt a moral obligation to act. In Staying in the Fight: Ho...
White on Black
When Ruben was born with severe cerebral palsy his grandfather banished him to an orphanage, telling his mother he was dead. Ruben's life was a series of freezing dormitories, rotting food and cruel carers. He was haunted by the rumour his mother had abandoned him. But the occasional kindnesses shown to him - a fig, a mouthful of chocolate, a conversation - fed his passion for life. Ruben was determined to escape the orphanages and seek out the truth about his mother. This is his heroic story.
Know That You Are Worthy
Thirty-one alumni who were the first in their family to obtain a college degree share their experiences as first-generation students in this noteworthy new text. Their stories illuminate how the struggles of first-generation students are primarily due to a combination of multiple social inequities that are ignored, reinforced, and perpetuated by exclusive college systems. Speaking directly to current and future first-generation students, the authors offer tips and advice for success, along with powerful words of encouragement. Faculty and staff will also benefit from reading this book, as the authors describe a more equitable system in which universities are enriched by the wisdom, experiences, and talents of first-generation students while promoting a generative culture for all learners.

Campus de la Diagonal
Aquest llibre presenta una reflexió acadèmica i professional al Campus de la Diagonal amb un ampli ventall d’idees urbanístiques que permeten establir un nou escenari universitari i millorar la relació amb la ciutat..Durant els anys seixanta i setanta del segle passat es varen realitzar diversos projectes d’edificis i recintes universitaris de gran interès (de Carlo, Candilis, Sert). També es varen publicar notables estudis sobre la relació entre la ciutat i la universitat..Feia, però, força anys que aquestes qüestions no semblaven ocupar l’agenda d’arquitectes, urbanistes i responsables universitaris. Per això sembla tan oportú l’esforç de recollir en aquestes poc més de dues-centes planes tot un seguit de riques reflexions i de projectes, tant aquells que responen a encàrrecs concrets de la UB i de la UPC, com aquells que han realitzat un conjunt d’estudiants per recosir i fer ciutat d’una munió d’edificis, sovint de caràcter abstret i poc permeable, tallats per una avinguda de grans dimensions i disposats sense cap visió de conjunt.
