While Kierkegaard is perhaps known best as a religious thinker and philosopher, there is an unmistakable literary element in his writings. He often explains complex concepts and ideas by using literary figures and motifs that he could assume his readers would have some familiarity with. This dimension of his thought has served to make his writings far more popular than those of other philosophers and theologians, but at the same time it has made their interpretation more complex. Kierkegaard readers are generally aware of his interest in figures such as Faust or the Wandering Jew, but they rarely have a full appreciation of the vast extent of his use of characters from different literary periods and traditions. The present volume is dedicated to the treatment of the variety of literary figures and motifs used by Kierkegaard. The volume is arranged alphabetically by name, with Tome I covering figures and motifs from Agamemnon to Guadalquivir.
Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion.

La Escuela debe estar al servicio de la comunidad, compartir sus deseos, ayudar a encontrar soluciones a los problemas de la ciudadanía. No es una opción de la escuela, es una obligación ética e incluso moral. La Escuela no puede reunir a profesionales cualificados que forman y capacitan a nuestros jóvenes y permanecer cómodamente cerrando a sus puertas a los problemas de su comunidad. Esta responsabilidad hacia la sociedad es particularmente compartida por las Ciencias Sociales y, más concretamente, a la disciplina de Geografía, ámbito donde surgió el Proyecto ¡Nosotros Proponemos!

Offering research- and evidence-based approaches that explore the essential components of programme leadership in higher education, this book is designed to define, develop and support the programme leadership role and all those who undertake it.

Vernacular architecture in general and earthen architecture in particular, with their rich variety of forms worldwide, are custodians of the material culture and identity of the peoples who built them. In addition, they are widely recognized as ancestral examples of sustainability in all their variants and interpretations, and the architecture of the present ought to learn from these when designing the sustainable architecture of the future. The conservation of these architectures – seemingly simple yet full of wisdom – is to be undertaken now given their intrinsic value and their status as genuine examples of sustainability to be learnt from and interpreted in contemporary architecture. Vernacular and earthen architecture: Conservation and Sustainability will be a valuable source of information for academics and professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, Construction and Building Engineering and Architecture.
La existencia del ser humano en la Tierra es, básicamente, geografía. No se puede desarrollar acción de civilización sin un espacio geográfico donde habitar. Por eso, la geografía es una disciplina científica principal en la formación del ser humano. El «dónde» es un elemento básico en el sistema de coordenadas del pensamiento. Seguramente el más importante para el desarrollo del resto de habilidades intelectuales y sociales de una persona. De ahí que el conocimiento de los hechos geográficos, primero, y la transmisión de los mismos, después, son las tareas que han preocupado, en todo momento histórico, a la disciplina geográfica. Cambian, eso sí, las formas de conocer y de transmitir conocimientos, de ahí la necesidad de la actualización constante en la enseñanza de los conceptos, métodos, recursos y contenidos geográficos. Este libro persigue este objetivo.
The societies of the twenty-first century are subject to social, cultural, political, and economic changes. In this context, the school is asked to educate the future citizens in the present. To respond to this kaleidoscopic reality, the school is immersed in a pedagogical revolution. In this book, the reader will find a selection of avant-garde research works from different disciplines and contexts, which have their epicenter in the school and in the faculties of education. New issues in pedagogy and education, and new roles of teachers and students, are discussed in a global and diverse context. And new methodological and formative proposals are also proposed to build the ideal school and the ideal teacher, from the initial and continuous teacher training.
