Beyond restoration ecology: social perspectives in Latin America and the Caribbean
This book invites us to reflect on the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a region whose identity is still under construction, Latin America and the Caribbean, immersed in a social, economic, ecological and political crisis, whose roots originate historically and politically in colonialism and in the prevailing model of capital accumulation. For the first time, insights and practical experiences on restoration are gathered from most Latin-American and Caribbean countries. Furthermore, this book offers a social approach to restoration, which will likely become preponderant in this field and in this region. The authors claim that a Latin-American knowledge of restoration i...

No matarás. Memoria civil
Este libro analiza los primeros procesos legales sobre memoria histórica desde el año 2012, cinco años después de la entrada en vigor de la ley. El texto aborda la represión de la dictadura, la retirada de los símbolos franquistas en las calles españolas, el paso por la justicia argentina de las víctimas del franquismo, la exhumación de Franco y la de las víctimas del Valle de los Caídos. También se estudia la dificultad del acceso a los archivos, tomando como ejemplo una investigación familiar, así como otras causas recientes, como la de Federico García Lorca o la querella de la Asociación Trece Rosas Asturias contra Javier Ortega-Smith. Eduardo Ranz, pionero en la defensa jurídica de la memoria histórica, entrelaza su defensa a las familias con experiencias personales, en un texto que reivindica la necesidad de un íntegro cumplimiento de la Ley de Memoria, que, tal como menciona José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero en el prólogo, no es resultado de “ningún rencor, solo reparación, justa y apremiante reparación”.
Tumor Prevention and Genetics III
This volume contains the majority of the invited keynote lectures presented by experts at the Third International Conference on Controversies in Tumor Prevention and Genetics on 12-14 February 2004 in St.Gallen, Switzerland. Together, they reveal the latest findings in oncogenetics and its relations to recent and future developments in primary and secondary tumor prevention, especially in breast, colon and lung cancer. All contributions are written and have been critically reviewed by internationally recognised leaders in the field.
The Power of Compassion
Compassion is associated with feelings, emotions, expressions of care and comfort, derived from a place of love and relationship. However, as The Power of Compassion demonstrates, compassion is indeed based out of a position of power; a personal resource and strength to sustain people in complex and difficult times in their lives but also a concept which is meaningful at an organisational level and to society at large. Compassion has a growing scientific basis, notably within psychology and neuroscience but its application is increasingly evident across a range of health and social care systems. This book brings together the wisdom of compassionate science through the exposition of work by i...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Instrumentalising Foreign Language Pedagogy in Translator and Interpreter Training
This volume offers a wide array of cutting-edge original research on the implementation of Foreign Language Pedagogy in translator and interpreter training, a still rather unexplored field of research in Translation Studies. It is divided in two distinct sections. The first section focuses on theoretical approaches to this topic. The chapters of this section will offer the reader valuable new knowledge and thoughts on how to update and enrich academic curricula as well as how to make use of cognitive linguistics and to implement a multicultural approach in the demanding domain of translator and interpreter training. The second practical section comprises a series of diverse methods and didac...
