Historias contagiosas en épocas de pandemia
Este libro quedará guardado en la memoria colectiva. Es el registro de cuánto subvaloramos el poder de las palabras, hasta que nos topamos de cerca con el término pandemia. El lenguaje nos ha mostrado su fuerza en estas ocho letras, que tejen un entramado de dualidades: nos dividen, pero nos unen; nos angustian y, en contraste, nos llenan de esperanza; nos traen de vuelta a lo simple y nos exigen proyectarnos. Pues bien, las letras son también el medio para hablar de las emociones que ha desbordado el virus, y que quieren expresarse a los lectores que se acerquen a este libro. Esta no es solo una forma de entender en el presente y en el futuro la situación de salud pública que atravesamos tantos países del mundo, sino también un medio para comprendernos y para ponernos en el lugar de otros, ¿será que usted se sentirá identificado con alguno de los autores? Seguro que sí
Cybernetic Revolutionaries
A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship b...
Castro'S Final Hour
Reported from inside Cuba by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Andres Oppenheimer, Castro's Final Hour chronicles the dramatic events that have crippled the more-than-three-decades-old Marxist regime of Fidel Castro. From the execution of the country's most celebrated Army general in 1989 to the devastating effects of the loss of all Soviet aid, the picture Oppenheimer paints is extraordinarily detailed and engrossing, revealing a country on the brink of disaster. He uncovers Castro's never-before reported efforts to radicalize Noriega's regime in Panama, the failure of his "Zero Option" plan to restore economic stability without outside aid, and tells how, in a last ditch attempt to save the country from its dire slide, Castro's top aides pushed a plan to strip him of some of his powers. Including exclusive interviews with Soviet officials, Latin American leaders - including Daniel Ortega and Manuel Noriega - as well as the top echelon of current Cuban leadership and Fidel's dissident daughter, Alina, Castro's Final Hour is a compelling and intimate portrait of the Cuban leader, and an authoritative evaluation of what the future may hold for his country.
Coaching by Values (Cbv):
This book is about values. It is about life values, work values, family values, and world values. It is also about value alignment. Author Simon Dolan extends the concepts presented in the best-selling Managing by Values, adding many innovations including a step-by-step methodology for diagnosing value congruence and tools for conducting real value reengineering (value alignment). Dolan argues that when people understand their values (regardless of how and why they have emerged), and analyze their relative importance and consequences, they can see more clearly how these values affect their daily lives. Extensive research shows that realignment of values ensures better congruence with goals a...

Lo Vimos Venir
Consigna en boca de muchos tras el fatídico 18 de octubre de 2019. Fue la sorpresa mayúscula en tantos que vivieron el estallido subversivo y sus secuelas, sin percatarse de que los hechos se enraizaban en causas de larga data. Esa ingenuidad pasmosa ha hecho posible la rendición de nuestras instituciones políticas y nuestra sociedad ante un proceso revolucionario sin precedentes. Hoy, a las puertas de la decisión más importante de nuestra historia –el plebiscito de salida–, es fundamental comprender estos tumultuosos años y lo que Chile deberá enfrentar hacia adelante. En esta serie de tres ensayos, Editorial Conservadora se interna en este proceso desde la mirada de quienes tuvieron fundamentos para “verlo venir”. En primer lugar, Andrés Barrientos nos remite a la atmósfera inquietante de ese 18 de octubre, para ofrecernos un análisis politológico acerca del estallido, sus causas y consecuencias. Luego, Henry Boys esboza una perspectiva jurídico-política de un proceso constituyente errado desde sus bases. Por último, Javier Silva cierra con una amena reflexión sobre nuestra sociedad a la luz de la revolución en curso y el Chile que viene.
Narrow But Endlessly Deep
On 11 September 1973, the Chilean Chief of the Armed Forces Augusto Pinochet overthrew the Popular Unity government of Salvador Allende and installed a military dictatorship. Yet this is a book not of parties or ideologies but public history. It focuses on the memorials and memorialisers at seven sites of torture, extermination, and disappearance in Santiago, engaging with worldwide debates about why and how deeds of violence inflicted by the state on its own citizens should be remembered, and by whom. The sites investigated -- including the infamous National Stadium -- are among the most iconic of more than 1,000 such sites throughout the country. The study grants a glimpse of the depth of feeling that survivors and the families of the detained-disappeared and the politically executed bring to each of the sites. The book traces their struggle to memorialise each one, and so unfolds their idealism and hope, courage and frustration, their hatred, excitement, resentment, sadness, fear, division and disillusionment.
