Hablar sobre educación inclusiva hoy supone todo un reto dada la complejidad e incertidumbre que marcan el devenir de la sociedad actual. Sociedad del conocimiento, de la información, pero también una sociedad competitiva que genera nuevas brechas sociales entre aquellos grupos que por distintas razones no pueden competir en igualdad de condiciones. La diversidad es un rasgo y un reto de esta sociedad, las palabras equidad, justicia social, deben marcar las respuestas socioeducativas que permitan a todas las personas. De ahí el sentido de esta publicación, en la que se recogen aportaciones que surgen de la práctica de profesionales, que desde distintos países aportan visiones, experiencias y propuestas de actuación. El documento se configura en torno a 6 ejes temáticos: Intervención educativa, intervención social, formación del profesorado para la inclusión, la incorporación de las TIC, percepciones y cultura inclusiva, y por último una visión de la inclusión desde el ámbito internacional.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today.

Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

In this "important and comprehensive" guide to statistical thinking (New Yorker), discover how data literacy is changing the world and gives you a better understanding of life’s biggest problems. Statistics are everywhere, as integral to science as they are to business, and in the popular media hundreds of times a day. In this age of big data, a basic grasp of statistical literacy is more important than ever if we want to separate the fact from the fiction, the ostentatious embellishments from the raw evidence -- and even more so if we hope to participate in the future, rather than being simple bystanders. In The Art of Statistics, world-renowned statistician David Spiegelhalter shows read...
Since 1980, the number of people in U.S. prisons has increased more than 450%. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world." Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces, ranging from global to local, conjoined to produce the prison boom. In an informed and impassioned account, Ruth Wilson Gilmore examines this issue through statewide, rural, and urban perspectives to explain how the expansion developed from surpluses of finance capital, labor, land, and sta...
