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.

This book is not about witches. First of all, because it focuses on the Middle Ages. And, despite common misconceptions among the general public, the figure of the witch as a woman who seals a pact with the Devil is not a "medieval" invention. Becoming a Witch explores the feminization of what civil and religious authorities defined as "magic" in medieval times. It looks into the complex connections between women, the natural, the supernatural, and the tragedy of existence. The chapters in this book span from the far north of Europe to the Mediterranean area, and investigate topics such as divination, erotic "magic", flying and dancing bodies, cannibalism, milk-stealing witchcraft, the circulation of "superstitious" knowledge among women, Otherness, agency, and, last but not least, contemporary representations of the witch in books, TV series, and cinema productions. From whom did women learn their beliefs and remedies? Were they really in contact with demons? Were they a social threat? And, most importantly, should men fear and stop them?

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.

The mythology of the ancient Celts is a rich and complex one. Celtic myths relate epic stories of heroic ancestors, when the divine and mortal realms were intimately intertwined and gods and goddesses inhabited the natural world. The exploits of Cuchulainn and Fionn mac Cumhaill, of Deirdre and Rhiannon, and of other heroes and heroines may have their roots in the distant past but they continue to thrill and enchant readers today.Celtic Myths is a fascinating survey of these myths and of the history behind them. Preserved in the monasteries of early Christian Ireland and in stories first written down in medieval Wales, their origins lie much deeper in the largely lost world of the Celts. Only on the Atlantic coast of Western Europe have aspects of the oral culture of the ancient Celts resisted the tide of history. The languages and traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall and Brittany still resonate with the mythology of a pre-Christian world.For all those who want to understand the Celts and the way in which they perceived their world, and for all those who simply enjoy the narrative power of ancient myths, this Pocket Essential provides the ideal introduction.
