--NARRADO POR LOS AUTORES--Este no es un manual ni otra aburrida lectura sobre diversidad, equidad e inclusión, como las charlas (casi sermones) de sensibilización que dan las empresas.NO vas a encontrar historias de superacion ni condescendencia, pero si muchas anecdotas de la vida real.Aqui NO vas a recibir regaños ni juicios por los discursos que te toco aprender en la escuela, en la tele o en casa por el simple hecho de nacer en una determinada epoca.Tampoco vas a encontrar respuestas, al contrario, se trata de hacerte las preguntas adecuadas.Este es un libro unico en su tipo.

Este libro se planteó investigar una coyuntura específica que surgió de procesos de larga duración y de configuraciones de dominio local y regional. Para este caso, el análisis se ubicó en un espacio-tiempo referido a la implementacion del regimen federal en la Colombia de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y la irrupcion de migrantes alemanes propiamente en Bucaramanga y en el valle del Rio del Oro. Ante la voluntad de los migrantes de aliarse economica y matrimonialmente con las familias mas prestantes y poderosas de la sociedad local, no se constituyo como tal una comunidad alemana. Mas bien, se trato de una revitalizacion de la elite economica y politica ya establecida en la region desde la dominacion española y el poblamiento de gentes blancas, mestizas y de color en el territorio desde el siglo XVI.

Desde las tradiciones grecolatinas hasta las influencias judeocristianas, pasando por los cambios provocados por la modernidad, la secularización y el avance de la biomedicina, cada época ha dejado una huella particular en la manera de concebir el fin de la vida. En la actualidad, la desnaturalizacion de la muerte, junto con el aumento de la esperanza de vida y la proporcion de personas con dependencia funcional o enfermedad cronica, ha desembocado en su desplazamiento del ambito comunitario y cotidiano hacia los hospitales e instituciones de cuidados de larga duracion. Esta realidad evidencia la necesidad de una intervencion humanizada, capaz de acompañar el proceso de morir de manera integral, pues el sufrimiento que persiste a pesar de los avances tecnologicos y farmacologicos interpela y recuerda que su alivio requiere una atencion sociosanitaria verdaderamente humana que contemple a la persona en todas sus dimensiones (biologica, psicologica, social y espiritual).

Durante el ciclo Ni Una Menos iniciado en 2015, se potenció la llegada de feministas al Estado (al frente de secretarías y ministerios) en casi todos los países del Cono Sur. Por fin las mujeres tenían "un cuarto propio" entre las oficinas del poder para instalar sus agendas. Pero de 2021 a 2023, con el descredito de los progresismos y el auge de las derechas radicales, empezamos a oir que el feminismo fue demasiado lejos, que se paso tres pueblos, que se volvio vigilante y punitivo. Las criticas llueven desde la derecha y tambien desde los espacios "compañeros". ¿En serio hubo demasiado feminismo? ¿En serio hubo un sobregiro que explica la crisis de los partidos del centro hacia la izquierda? Por fuera del ruido de la batalla cultural que plantea la derecha radical, con una escucha atenta a las funcionarias que habitaron los recintos del "palacio" y a sus tensiones con los activismos callejeros, Agustina Paz Frontera nos muestra hasta que punto las mujeres y disidencias que ocuparon cargos publicos nunca integraron la mesa chica del poder: apenas si se acercaron al pasillo por donde pasan los que deciden. Revela tambien la historica division, dentro del feminismo, entre puras e integradas, autonomas e institucionales, y la riqueza de sostener los puentes criticos entre ambas. Este libro se pregunta que es hacer politica feminista: ¿basta con ocuparse de "cosas de mujeres", como leyes de cuotas o aborto legal, y hacer malabares con presupuestos exiguos? ¿Por que cuesta tanto que las politicas mujeres se hagan oir ahi donde se discuten la distribucion economica y el modelo de pais? Asi, llama a construir un campo feminista fuerte, que afine sus saberes tecnicos y no reniegue de la tarea de generar politica publica para las mayorias.

Una ruta solitaria. Un joven abogado cordobés al volante. Una lluvia intensa que cae sin aviso. Y un instante que cambia para siempre el rumbo de su vida.El 22 de enero de 2015, Pablo Giesenow sufrió un accidente que le arrebato ambas piernas. Pero, lejos de rendirse, decidio desafiar el destino y volver a empezar desde cero. Desde una cama de hospital, se propuso una meta que parecia imposible: volver a vivir plenamente. Lo logro paso a paso con protesis, con coraje, con lagrimas y con fe. Volvio al deporte, corrio maratones, jugo al futbol, se subio a una bicicleta, aprendio a esquiar y alcanzo la cumbre del Aconcagua.Cada conquista le enseño una verdad luminosa: los limites mas duros no estan en el cuerpo, sino en la mente.Corre tus limites es mucho mas que una historia de superacion. Es una declaracion de vida.Una invitacion a mirar el miedo de frente, a convertir la adversidad en impulso y a descubrir que todos podemos ser soñadores imparables.

Scotlands Stone of Destiny is the most famous symbol of both Scottish nationhood and the British monarchy. Nick Aitchison has produced a fully updated, researched and illustrated study of its history, mythology and cultural significance.Having first traced the origin, evolution and function of myths surrounding the Stone and the ancient prophecy that gives the Stone its name, Aitchison examines the Stone itself its appearance, geology and source and reveals the Stones original function and the origins of its symbolic sanctity. Scotlands Stone of Destiny discusses the much-disputed issue of authenticity, and finally places it in a wider context with reference to the Stones significance to the creation of the Scottish parliament and the destiny of the Scots.

Childhood has changed more in the last fifteen years than in the previous fifty. What once revolved around play, imagination, and real, world connection has been overtaken by smartphones, social media, and digital pressures that most parents never experienced themselves. From Hide, and, Seek to Hashtags: The New Childhood Struggle is a powerful, eye, opening exploration of how the digital age has rewired the landscape of growing up, and what families can do to reclaim a healthier, freer childhood. This timely and deeply human book exposes the hidden forces shaping childrens minds, moods, and relationships. It reveals why anxiety is rising, why play is vanishing, why attention is collapsing, and why both girls and boys are struggling in different but equally worrying ways. Through engaging stories, relatable examples, and accessible explanations, it uncovers the developmental needs that digital life quietly undermines, and how this shift from playgrounds to platforms is impacting everything from sleep and self, esteem to resilience and real, world friendships. Parents will find clarity, compassion, and practical guidance as the book uncovers how the digital world is designed to keep children hooked, why perfectionism and comparison now shadow kids from a young age, and how modern childhood has been reshaped by algorithms, online culture, and addictive design. It offers insight into the pressures families face, the challenges teachers encounter, and the collective action traps that leave parents feeling powerless even when they desperately want change. But this book is not a warning alone. It is a roadmap. From Hide, and, Seek to Hashtags provides a hopeful, actionable blueprint for restoring balance in childrens lives. Youll discover four powerful rules that communities can use to create healthier norms, how to rebuild environments that support independence and outdoor play, and how to help children reconnect with real life in meaningful ways. It shows that while the digital tide is strong, families and communities are stronger when they move together. Thought, provoking, urgent, and galvanising, this book is for any parent, educator, or caring adult who feels childhood slipping away behind screens and wants practical, realistic steps to bring back what matters most. If youre ready to understand the digital forces shaping this generation, and ready to reclaim childhood, confidence, and connection for the kids you love, this is the essential guide. A powerful blend of psychology, storytelling, cultural insight, and actionable wisdom, From Hide, and, Seek to Hashtags will change the way you understand modern childhood and equip you with the tools to protect what children truly need to thrive.

Childhood is changing faster than ever before, and anxiety is rising just as quickly. Anxious: From Playgrounds to Platforms and The Rise of Childhood Anxiety is a powerful, eye, opening guide that reveals why todays children are struggling more than any generation before them, and what parents, educators, and communities can do to reclaim a healthier, freer childhood. In this compelling and deeply accessible book, readers explore how the journey from sandpits to screens has reshaped the emotional world of young people. Once defined by outdoor play, imagination, friendships, and freedom, childhood has been replaced by constant digital stimulation, comparison, perfectionism, online pressure, disrupted sleep, and shrinking opportunities for real, world resilience. Through clear explanations and relatable examples, the book uncovers how these forces are creating a surge in childhood anxiety, loneliness, and stress. Anxious guides readers through the hidden mechanics of the modern childhood environment: the rapid rise of smartphones, the viral spread of fears and social pressures, the impact of sleep loss, the erosion of attention, and the increasing dominance of platforms in shaping behaviour and identity. It reveals how the constant need for approval, the fear of missing out, the addictive designs of digital experiences, and the rise of performance culture are placing unprecedented strain on young minds. But this book is not simply a diagnosis, it is a pathway forward. Readers will learn how to identify early warning signs of anxiety, rebuild healthy boundaries around technology, support emotional wellbeing, and restore the lost pillars of childhood: play, autonomy, connection, creativity, sleep, and real, world experiences. It also explores how schools, families, and communities can work together to address digital pressures, strengthen mental health, and create environments where children feel safe, confident, and grounded. If you are a parent, teacher, caregiver, or anyone concerned about the wellbeing of the next generation, Anxious will give you the clarity and confidence to make meaningful changes. It sheds light on why children today feel overwhelmed, why anxiety is becoming more widespread, and what practical steps you can take to help young people feel more secure and capable in an always, on world. This is more than a book about anxiety; it is a blueprint for hope. It offers a new lens for understanding the modern childhood crisis and inspires readers to take action, to reclaim childhood from platform, driven pressures and restore the balance every child needs to thrive. Thought, provoking, compassionate, and deeply relevant, Anxious is an essential guide for navigating the challenges of growing up in the digital age.
