Defining and Defying Borders
Tracing heated exchanges between Spanish and Latin American intellectuals that took place in journals, magazines, and newspapers in the early twentieth century, Defining and Defying Borders details how borders and boundaries were contested within a medium that simultaneously crossed borders and defined boundaries. Vanessa Marie Fernández demonstrates that print media is an invaluable resource for scholars because it offers a nuanced perspective of the complex postcolonial relationship between Spain and Latin America that shaped aesthetic production within and beyond national boundaries. Presenting inclusive paradigms that are at once able to transcend borders, acknowledge national boundaries, and account for empire, Defining and Defying Borders illustrates that investigating journals, magazines, and newspapers is crucial to better understanding postcolonial literary and cultural production.
Pierre Bourdieu in Hispanic Literature and Culture
Pierre Bourdieu in Hispanic Literature and Culture is a collective reflection on the value of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s work for the study of Spanish and Latin American literature and culture. The authors deploy Bourdieu’s concepts in the study of Modernismo, avant-garde Mexico, contemporary Puerto Rican literature, Hispanism, Latin American cultural production, and more. Each essay is also a contribution to the study of the politics and economics of culture in Spain and Latin America. The book, as a whole, is in dialogue with recent methodological and theoretical interventions in cultural sociology and Latin American and Iberian studies.
Digital Literacy for Teachers
This book shows the results of research in different countries on how to measure digital competence among future generations of teachers and facing the challenges brought by the convergence of analogue and digital media. This book provides answers to the research questions: How should the key competencies related to media pedagogy be effectively measured and compared? What is the level of digital literacy of pre-service teachers in selected countries? The individual chapters are based on a systematic review of research results (from the last two decades) to show trends related to changes in measurement and levels of digital competence. This book is valuable for researchers training future generations of teachers in the use of new media as well as to those trying to measure the development of the information society, as well as those conducting research in the field of comparative pedagogy (including the transfer of the most effective solutions in the field of media pedagogy).
Physical Activity, Health Equity and Health-Related Outcomes, Volume II
This Research Topic is Volume 2 in the Physical Activity, Health Equity and Health-Related Outcomes series. There is sufficient scientific evidence on the benefits of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of diseases. However, sedentarism remains one of the biggest health problems worldwide, leading to premature mortality in most if not all populations. It has been shown that physical activity behavior is socially patterned with lower participation rates among women, certain racial and ethnic groups, people with poorer access to education, health care and health insurance, as well as people with physical, mental, and cognitive disabilities and older adults.
Invasive Species in Forests and Rangelands of the United States
This open access book describes the serious threat of invasive species to native ecosystems. Invasive species have caused and will continue to cause enormous ecological and economic damage with ever increasing world trade. This multi-disciplinary book, written by over 100 national experts, presents the latest research on a wide range of natural science and social science fields that explore the ecology, impacts, and practical tools for management of invasive species. It covers species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms that impact a diversity of habitats in forests, rangelands and grasslands of the United States. It is well-illustrated, provides summaries of the most important invasive species and issues impacting all regions of the country, and includes a comprehensive primary reference list for each topic. This scientific synthesis provides the cultural, economic, scientific and social context for addressing environmental challenges posed by invasive species and will be a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, natural resource managers and practitioners.

The Hugging Army
Its amazing how many valuable lessons you can learn hugging strangers. Just ask Vanessa L. White Fernandes. She never planned to be sort of obsessed with hugging complete strangers, but shes gone places, met people, and learned things she never thought possible since she started doing it. It all began in the summer of 2013, when she and her future wife, Brenda, went to New York City to see Amma, the Hugging Saint who has hugged hundreds of thousands of people. The experience transformed her, and in June 2015, she wrote on a large board: I trust you, do you trust me? How about a hug? and stood on a sidewalk with a blindfold over her eyes. She was curious about what would happen even though she knew what she was doing was potentially dangerous. After all, she was exposing the most vulnerable part of her bodyher heartbut she knew it would be OK. With that first step The Hugging Army was bornand in sharing her stories of her hugging experiences, including her 2017 Hug Bug Tour of the southeastern United States, the author emphasizes how hugging strangers has dramatically changed her life for the better.
