A Nicolás Fernández Miranda le dijeron que nunca sería bueno en Matemática y unos años después se recibió de Contador Público, con honores. Al convertirse en profesor, descubrió que había algo que no estaba bien en el sistema educativo, y era que nadie se había preocupado por enseñarles, ni a sus alumnos ni a él mismo, cómo aprender. Gracias a su pasado, descubrió que su vocación era compartir con el mundo sus conocimientos en la neurociencia aplicada al aprendizaje. Desde entonces, en sus conferencias, en sus clases y en sus redes sociales comparte videos, hacks y métodos en los que busca demostrarles a sus seguidores que aprender es fácil, divertido y necesario. Entender cómo funcionan los procesos de aprendizaje y productividad puede cambiar la vida de todos.

Durante los pasados cincuenta años, el énfasis sobre la práctica y estrategia de la obra misionera ha menoscabado el valor de la importancia de la teología de la misión. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas teólogos y misiólogos de todas las tradiciones cristianas han comenzado a reexaminar y repensar las suposiciones teológicas que fundamentan la obra misionera. En Misión en el Camino Charles Van Engen articula con claridad muchos de los conceptos fundamentales de la teología de la misión. Charles Van Engen, en este volumen, aborda numerosos temas misiológicos centrales. Examina la cuestión de construir teologías en contextos específicos, tales como en la ciudad. También nos muestra tanto los beneficios como las preocupaciones que experimentamos cuando alentamos a los creyentes a teologizar dentro de su propio entorno, cuando tomamos con seriedad el sacerdocio de todos los creyentes. Hace un delineamiento de los debates actuales sobre asuntos levantados por el pluralismo religioso, y batalla con la manera en que podemos proclamar el carácter único de Cristo, sin ser arrogantes y triunfalistas. Echa una mirada al impacto que la modernidad y la posmodernidad están teniendo sobre el movimiento misionero en Occidente, y hace un llamado a la renovación de nuestro compromiso como seguidores de Jesucristo en los duros ambientes culturales de nuestros días. Explora los roles cambiantes de misioneros y ministros en iglesias jóvenes, y levanta preguntas difíciles relacionadas con la unidad de la iglesia en medio de su proliferación, diversidad y fragmentación de carácter global. Son de excepcional valor, la manera en que Van Engen traza la historia de la discusión reciente sobre cada uno de estos asuntos y la riqueza de fuentes bibliográficas que nos presenta para más estudio. Igualmente, importantes son las repuestas que él ofrece a estas cuestiones, respuestas que nos ayudan a movernos más allá de los caminos sin salida que tanto caracterizan nuestro pensamiento actual.

"Writers, publishers, readers and scholars have stopped apologising for the short story: the genre is no longer a bad investment, a trial-exercise for a novel or a minor entertainment, as demonstrated by exceptional writers with an almost exclusive dedication to it, such as Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Munro, Quim Monzâo or Cristina Fernâandez Cubas. With deep roots in classic and medieval literatures, and great achievements in the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries, the genre of the short story, which benefits from the linguistic tightness of poetry and the narrative comforts of the novel, has finally been recognised as having a (hybrid) identity of its own. This volume re-edits and expands a previous bilingual collection published in 1997. The first edition included stories by twelve writers: Pilar Cibreiro, Cristina Fernâandez Cubas, Paloma Dâiaz-Mas, Adelaida Garcâia Morales, Lourdes Ortiz, Laura Freixas, Marina Mayoral, Mercedes Abad, Rosa Montero, Maruja Torres, Soledad Puâertolas and Marâia Eugenia Salaverri. The present edition adds another four: Nuria Amat, Juana Salabert, Luisa Castro and Berta Marsâe. The stories gathered in this second edition were written between 1980 and 2010, and testify to the richness and vitality of women’s writing in contemporary Spain. With the original texts in Spanish as well as facing-page English translations, an Introduction, notes, and bio-bibliographical information on each author, this volume is a useful tool for students of the Spanish language and culture at all levels. It includes a selection of secondary reading on Spanish women writers and a selection of anthologies of Spanish short stories since 1997"--

Como líder, directivo, empleado o ciudadano, tu activo más valioso no está encerrado en una caja de seguridad de un banco, ni en ladrillos y cemento, ni en el balance de una compañía; se guarda en un lugar mucho más seguro aunque bastante frágil, tu cabeza, y es una cartera de valores gemelos: tu mente analítica y tu mente intuitiva

This book offers a substantial examination of how contemporary authors deal with the complex legacies of authoritarian regimes in various Spanish-speaking countries. It does so by focusing on works that explore an under-studied aspect: the reliance of authoritarian power on medical notions for political purposes. From the Porfirian regime in Mexico to Castro’s Cuba, this book describes how such regimes have sought to seize medical knowledge to support propagandistic ideas and marginalize their opponents in ways that transcend specific pathologies, political ideologies, and geographical and temporal boundaries. Medicine, Power, and the Authoritarian Regime in Hispanic Literature brings together the work of literary scholars, cultural critics, and historians of medicine, arguing that contemporary authors have actively challenged authoritarian narratives of medicine and disease. In doing so, they continue to re-examine the place of these regimes in the collective memory of Latin America and Spain.

Contemporary theories of modernity recognize the plurality or »multiplicity± of modernities. Often the differences are seen as institutional or cultural differences. Although this sort of research is important it cannot be ignored that it does not provide a clear understanding of the »human consequences±. The tradition that today is known under the name of Critical Theory, on the contrary, has been interested always first of all in the human consequences. This book wants to follow this ambition. The question it tries to search answers for is: what are the experiences that human beings are making in and within global modernity? Another question is important: what are the affinities and what are the differences. Also Critical Theory was mainly interested in the Western experiences with and within global modernity. The book will challenge this limited view by looking how modernities is experienced in other parts of the world.0Following the tradition of critical theory, the volume enquires into the experiences people make with and in global modernity. It thereby seeks to draw attention to both affinities and differences in these experiences, and to depart from the western horizon of experience and consider other forms of experience. Current theories of modernity are based on the assumption of the diversity of modernity. This diversity is frequently understood to be the outcome of institutional and cultural differences.
