Este libro se inscribe en el contexto de reflexión-acción sobre los modos de educar desde una perspectiva de género, revitalizado a partir de la sanción de la Ley Nacional de Educación Sexual Integral.

Junto a ello, brinda recursos informativos, sugerencias prácticas y recorridos didácticos para t...
A diverse account of how life exists in extreme environments and these systems' susceptibility and resilience to climate change.
Embodying Mexico examines two performative icons of Mexicanness--the Dance of the Old Men and Night of the Dead of Lake Pátzcuaro--in numerous manifestations, including film, theater, tourist guides, advertisements, and souvenirs. Covering a ninety-year period from the postrevolutionary era to the present day, Hellier-Tinoco's analysis is thoroughly grounded in Mexican politics and history, and simultaneously incorporates choreographic, musicological, and dramaturgical analysis. Exploring multiple contexts in Mexico, the USA, and Europe, Embodying Mexico expands and enriches our understanding of complex processes of creating national icons, performance repertoires, and tourist attractions, drawing on wide-ranging ethnographic, archival, and participatory experience. An extensive companion website illustrates the author's arguments through audio and video.

Spanien ist eine Region, die in der europäischen Geschichte lange vernachlässigt wurde. Britt Schlünz analysiert – im Zusammenspiel von Zentrum und Peripherie, zwischen Madrid, Katalonien, dem Vatikan und der Kolonie Kuba – die konfliktreiche spanische Säkularisierung des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Studie stellt die klerikalen Akteure in den Mittelpunkt und trägt zum Verständnis der Schlüsselkonflikte und zentralen Phänomene des Jahrhunderts in Europa bei: den Adaptionsmöglichkeiten des religiösen Feldes, der Formierung des Liberalismus und den Prozessen der Dekolonialisierung.
The Basques played a remarkably influential role in the creation and maintenance of Spain’s colonial establishment in the Philippines. Their skills as shipbuilders and businessmen, their evangelical zeal, and their ethnic cohesion and work-oriented culture made them successful as explorers, colonial administrators, missionaries, merchants, and settlers. They continued to play prominent roles in the governance and economy of the archipelago until the end of Spanish sovereignty, and their descendants still contribute in significant ways to the culture and economy of the contemporary Philippines. This book offers important new information about a little-known aspect of Philippine history and the influence of Basque immigration in the Spanish Empire, and it fills an important void in the literature of the Basque diaspora.
Rodent Malaria reviews significant findings concerning malaria parasites of rodents, including their taxonomy, zoogeography, and evolution, along with life cycles and morphology; genetics and biochemistry; and concomitant infections. This volume is organized into eight chapters and begins by sketching out the history of the discovery of rodent as well as aspects of parasitology, immunology, and chemotherapy. These concepts are investigated two decades following Ignace Vincke's major discovery and Meir Yoeli's successful establishment of the method of cyclical transmission of the parasite. The following chapters focus on the taxonomy and systematics of the subgenus Vinckeia, with reference to...
