¿Por qué hay tantas especies en el mundo? ¿Cómo logran los pingüinos sobrevivir en el frío extremo? ¿Por qué los mamuts y los dinosaurios ya no existen? ¿Y qué significa realmente que somos parientes

The witch malevolent, magical, multi-faceted - has walked among us for centuries.Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, in this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham explores the many guises of the witch across folklore, history and superstition.From Hekate to Baba Yaga, from shape-shifting hares to Macbeth, the book starts with a rich dive into the ideas of the witch in myth, legend and fairytale. Next follows an exploration of popular belief and superstition during the witch trials across Europe and the United States, one of the most tumultuous and bloody of our collective history. The last section brings us to more recent times, exploring how how the image and identity of the witch has been reclaimed and reinvented, the significance of the Wheel of the Year, the advent of Wicca and modern Witchcraft and beyond.Finally and most crucially, we are left with the vital question: what have we learned from the past and what is the best way to approach our often terrible shared history of the witch?

Jainism, one of the oldest religions of the world, found its philosophy, rituals and ethical code in the teachings of Lord Mahavira, the twenty-fourth tirthankara of Jainism. Though its reach was confined only to the Indian subcontinent for more than two-and-a-half millennia, from the twentieth century onwards, it made its presence felt across the globe, mainly in the US, the UK, Europe, East Africa and Nepal, and in smaller numbers in many other parts of the world, through its diasporic population. This book thus profiles the salient demographic as well as sociological features of the Jain communities in India and abroad. The Jains have been a minority community consisting of less than 1 per cent of Indian population in modern times. The current population of the Jains is estimated around six million. Its diasporic communities consist of about 300,000. Despite its miniscule size, the communitys contributions to the Indian society in different realms are quite commendable, be it education, trade and commerce, politics or in running and efficiently managing charitable institutions. Other demographic features include its high literacy rate, lowest infant mortality rate and appreciable sex ratio (954 in 2011). Their approach and attitude towards all living beings stand tall among all religious communities of the world. The book further features other socio-religious aspects of the Jain community along with its way of life, social identity, organizational features such as sects, castes, kinship, family and marriage, food, festivals and pilgrimage, Jain associations, and status of contemporary Jain women. The economic and political status of the Jains, their inter-ethnic relations, and the Jains historical and civilizational contribution to Indian culture and society are also vividly addressed. It navigates scholars and researchers to a wide range of areas in Jain studies for further researches.

Este libro es el resultado de más de una década de reflexión sobre el cambio cultural y su medición en la arqueología. Basado en un seminario impartido por Robert Wauchope en Tulane University, el estudio parte de un metodo cuantitativo para analizar la evolucion de la cultura a traves de la ceramica, explorando patrones de innovacion, persistencia y perdida.Mas que una simple revision de datos arqueologicos, esta obra se adentra en la relacion entre arqueologia y antropologia, cuestionando enfoques tradicionales y proponiendo hipotesis audaces sobre la estabilidad e inestabilidad cultural. Con una base metodologica rigurosa y un enfoque interpretativo en evolucion, el autor invita al lector a repensar la arqueologia como una disciplina que va mas alla de la excavacion, hacia la construccion de marcos teoricos para comprender el cambio cultural.

Estudio clásico de la sociología que describe profunda y puntualmente la presencia del sentimiento romántico, característico del siglo XIX francés, en múltiples campos del conocimiento: trátese, de literatura, novela, teatro o poesia; ya de pensamiento politico y social, en la formulacion de utopias socialistas o del feminismo aun en ciernes, los sentimientos romanticos son el punto de partida de un gran numero de enunciaciones. El autor analiza tanto obras famosas como personajes que el tiempo borro de la memoria, para evidenciar los lazos que existieron entre el romanticismo y las rebeliones politicas. El FCE publico esta obra por vez primera en 1947 y la integra ahora a su coleccion Conmemorativa.

Bauman examina el momento en que la cultura pasó de ser el de un agente de cambio y se ha comportado como un medio de seducción al quedar marcada por la globalización, las migraciones y la mezcla poblacional. Mejor ejemplo de ello es Europa, en donde la cultura se revitaliza y comprende a traves de la diversidad de razas, lenguas e historias.
