This book brings together scholarship that contributes diverse and new perspectives on childhood amnesia – the scarcity of memories for very early life events. The topics of the studies reported in the book range from memories of infants and young children for recent and distant life events, to mother–child conversations about memories for extended lifetime periods, and to retrospective recollections of early childhood in adolescents and adults. The methodological approaches are diverse and theoretical insights rich. The findings together show that childhood amnesia is a complex and malleable phenomenon and that the waning of childhood amnesia and the development of autobiographical memory are shaped by a variety of interactive social and cognitive factors. This book will facilitate discussion and deepen an understanding of the dynamics that influence the accessibility, content, accuracy, and phenomenological qualities of memories from early childhood. This book was originally published as a special issue of Memory.

Luego de veinticinco años de ofrecer a la comunidad jurídica obras colectivas de investigación monográfica, que han marcado, año tras año, la doctrina administrativista, la escuela de Derecho Administrativo de la Universidad Externado de Colombia presenta la obra Régimen jurídico de los agentes estatales, en tres tomos. Es un estudio completo de los aspectos más importantes del derecho administrativo laboral y de las distintas responsabilidades en las que pueden incurrir los agentes del Estado: sancionatoria y patrimonial. En el tomo I se aborda lo relativo a la categorización y contenido de la relación jurídica del personal a cargo del Estado. Para esto, el tomo se divide en dos partes: una primera dedicada al estudio de la multiplicidad de vínculos y formas de asumir las funciones al interior del Estado colombiano, y una segunda en la que se analiza de una manera muy completa el contenido de esa relación jurídica. Se trata de una obra profunda, novedosa y actual, que pone de presente la importancia de entender las bases y fundamentos del régimen jurídico de los agentes del Estado, así como sus variados matices
