Al país de los baskos se le llama de muy diversas maneras: País Vasco, Vasconia, Baskonia, País Vasconavarro, Navarra, Euskadi o Euskal Herria, con sus adecuaciones a los diferentes idiomas. Un abanico de nombres muy sugerente pero poco util para la identificacion inequivoca del pais.A ellos hay que añadir los utilizados oficialmente para denominar las tres diferentes administraciones que se asientan en su ambito antropologico cultural. La Comunidad Foral de Navarra, la Comunidad Autonoma del Pais Vasco o Comunidad Autonoma de Euskadi denominada tambien Comunidad Autonoma Vasca y la Communaute d aglomeration Pays Basque. A todas ellas hay que agregar sus usos en euskara y los respectivos acronimos.Para profundizar en la confusion, se le suma tambien la acepcion en ingles Basque Country, cada dia utilizada con mayor profusion y, que muchas veces, se emplea en la forma Euskadi-Basque Country.Desde que en 2017 publique el libro: Vasco, como se llama tu pais, la sensibilidad sobre la necesidad de ordenar este tema del denominativo ha ido en ascenso.Este libro propone tratar el tema con cierto orden y vision de 360 grados. Describe los despropositos que la situacion supone, estudia como otros paises lo han solucionado, narra el discurrir de sus nombres a traves de la historia, asi como su evolucion linguistica y, sobre todo, desarrolla un modelo de analisis sociologico que evalua cuantos aspectos son importantes para que un denominativo funcione, lo que le permite seleccionar el nombre de forma metodica para, por ultimo, optar por una propuesta de uso real y practica.En suma, se presenta una solucion razonada y realista, que supone una alternativa coherente al problema del nombre del pais.

"I dont care for vocational books written in the United States; theyre too American." When Susan Maros heard this comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially taken aback. Isnt the concept of calling universal? Why wouldnt resources with a biblical perspective on vocation apply to everyone?The reality is that each of us encounters our questions of calling from within a particular context. In this paradigm-shifting book, Maros explores how various dimensions of social locationincluding race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, and gendershape our assumptions and experiences with vocation. Maros helps Christians in the United States in particular see how ideas about calling that emphasize certainty, career paths, and personal achievement arise from cultural priorities that shouldnt go unexamined, such as individualism, productivity, and meritocracy. She explains how unexamined "mental maps" can distort our perspective and refocuses our attention on biblical insights about calling as a lifelong journey. In the process, she helps us find both clarity and encouragement to explore the paths before us.God calls all people, yesbut calling is not a monolithic concept. Filled with numerous stories from Christians in diverse communities, Calling in Context invites anyone exploring questions of calling to find fresh possibilities in their own identity and engagement with Gods mission. Reflection questions and Bible study prompts are included throughout.

Siglo XXI. ¿Otro cambio de época?Es posible que iniciado este siglo XXI, varios siglos después de Leonardo, no encontremos alguien de su perfil y genialidad. Sin embargo, lo que sí resulta probable, es que estemos frente a un cambio de epoca como pocas veces hemos visto. Ineludible es citar a Heraclito al referir "la unica constante es el cambio". Ahora bien, mas alla de verlo como constante, quizas necesitemos dar un paso adelante de reflexion respecto a como tratamos con el cambio y como nos afecta. En este aspecto, el autor plantea dos preguntas muy movilizadoras: ¿Lo hacemos de manera fragmentada viendo los cambios en la misma epoca?, o ¿Podremos animarnos a considerarlos como brazos de palanca que dan lugar a la modificacion organizacional del sistema social? En su nuevo lanzamiento, Alejandro Marchesan nos desafia a la consideracion de un tema tan atrapante como insoslayable. Nada menos que la ocurrencia de un Cambio de Epoca que demanda nuevas preguntas, reflexiones y propuestas para ser capaces de navegar los nuevos mares de un mundo, donde la complejidad y los desafios impensados, deben ser superados con coraje pero especialmente con un horizonte compartido.Sin duda un libro atrapante que ha llegado para producir un punto de inflexion.

El tiempo apremia. Los desafíos a los que nos enfrentamos son serios y la plutocracia nos complica la vida. Es la era de los Leviatanes desencadenados. Julio Puente sigue reflexionando sobre las mejores soluciones para nuestros acuciantes problemas. Ya hablemos del cambio climatico o de las olas tecnologicas que vienen, de las enormes e injustas desigualdades economicas o de la democracia menguante, todo va a depender de la actitud y conviccion con la que solidariamente abordemos estos problemas. En este sentido, un cristianismo mal entendido no parece haber ayudado mucho en Occidente. El lema del dolar estadounidense En Dios confiamos se ha convertido, en el capitalismo sin etica, en Dios confia en nuestro dolar.Cambio de rumbo nos ofrece la vision que tienen algunos de los mejores expertos mundiales sobre estos temas y nos hace ver la necesidad de un cambio de mentalidad si queremos tomar las decisiones correctas. El neoliberalismo desatado, que socava la democracia y crea desigualdad economica y desigualdad politica, se ha hecho insostenible, como muestran Stiglitz, Zucman, Acemoglu, Robinson, Johnson, Zuboff, Cortina, Harari, Marina, Suleyman, Gabriel y otros muchos expertos. No hay mas alternativa que un cambio radical, dice Stiglitz. Interesa que ese cambio se haga en la buena direccion.

Neste livro, o autor transita do estudo de populaçes tribais e suas relaçes com as sociedades nacionais circundantes para o estudo de antropologias "nacionais" existentes em sociedades complexas e industrializadas. Seu principal interesse esta nas interaçes entre essas antropologias nacionais e as antropologias "centrais" ou "metropolitanas", nas quais as primeiras ocupam uma posiço periferica. E como se passasse da etnografia de culturas tribais para a investigaço das "culturas antropologicas" ou das tribos indigenas para as "tribos" de antropologos. O resultado e um trabalho original e esclarecedor, empreendido por um dos nomes mais emblematicos da antropologia brasileira.

Mosaico que abarca las distintas épocas y poblaciones de Campeche.

Se reune tambien la revision de temas clasicos de la historia campechana con la incorporacion de otros que pocas veces aparecen en una historia general o de divulgacion; asi, se integran los sucesos y procesos politicos y economicos, considerando tambien la vida silvestre, natural y cotidiana del estado, con especial atencion en la perspectiva sociocultural.

¿Por qué la cultura mexicana tiene un culto mortuorio tan importante y tan relevante alrededor del mundo, convirtiéndose en su sello distintivo?¿Todas las culturas en el mundo tienen cultos mortuorios?¿Alguna vez te has preguntado el origen de las canciones? ¿Por que y para que cantamos, recitamos, y versamos?Estas preguntas, sin aparente relacion en particular, nos podrian resultar chocantes, sin tener remotamente un eje de union. Pero al final si que lo tienen, y lo encontramos a traves de la alegria, el folclor, el canto y las narraciones. Todo esto llevado de la mano de la muerte y, ademas, por dificil que te resulte, ¡bien podria tambien ser positivo! Entonces, la gran incognita es: ¿en algun momento en tu mente, a traves de tu percepcion personal, se te ocurrio pensar que la muerte podria reflejarse como algo agradable?A lo largo de esta obra, muchas cuestiones surgiran alrededor del tema mas complejo y dificil de abordar para el mundo entero: la muerte. No obstante, desde una mirada distinta a las que ya conoces.Aunque te resulte extraño, y tal vez ajeno, existe una mezcla tan interesante y particu-lar entre la muerte y las artes vivas alrededor del mundo, que no solamente se pueden visualizar, sino que, en el caso de Mexico, tambien puedes narrar, cantar, y versar. Donde no solamente existe plasmada una vision en un plano fisico.Es tambien a traves de tus oidos, y de la palabra, que puedes comunicar tu sentir, a la vez que percibes las emociones que otros comparten contigo, y despues se transforman en leyenda, se transforman en cancion, en copla, en poesia. Palabras que no solamente describen un sentimiento, retratan a toda una comunidad, una tribu, una etnia... Asi tambien lo dificil que es morir transmuta en arte, y eso, el arte sin duda es aquello que, aun con nuestras diferencias, nos hace asi participes unos de otros dentro del mundo.
