Pocos autores han contribuido de manera tan decisiva a identificar las bases, forjar los caracteres fundamentales e imprimir cientificidad al derecho público en general y al derecho administrativo en particular como Maurice Hauriou. Su influencia trasciende las fronteras de su Francia natal e irradia y se percibe a lo largo de los distintos ordenamientos provistos de un sistema de regimen administrativo. Este volumen, compuesto por las contribuciones de un nutrido grupo de expertos iuspublicistas franceses e hispanoamericanos, es la muestra de ello.

La fruticultura es, sin duda alguna, una de las actividades más emocionantes del ámbito agrícola. En todas las épocas, las frutas han jugado un papel muy importante en la nutrición del hombre. El hombre logro aprovechar las distintas especies silvestres y crear a traves del fitomejoramiento continuo variedades mas grandes y con mejores cualidades. Los antiguos romanos sabian sobre la poda, el injerto y el raleo de frutos, pero no comprendian porque estas practicas eran beneficas; sin embargo, aun ahora no existen explicaciones adecuadas para fenomenos de incompatibilidad de injertos y de resistencia a enfermedades. La fruticultura es descrita como una mezcla armonica de ciencia y arte, basandose, ademas en el conocimiento de la fisiologia de la planta, en los conocimientos de otros campos como la geografia, la climatologia, la meteorologia, la edafologia, la quimica, la fisica, la nutricion, la genetica, la patologia, la entomologia, la economia, la comercializacion y el manejo de los recursos naturales.

Un acontecimiento intelectual y académico sin precedentes. La obra de referencia sobre los grandes saberes, debates y las reconfiguraciones actuales de los estudios de género.La discusión relativa al genero se ha establecido con fuerza en el actual debate publico. Nunca antes se han requerido herramientas que faciliten al publico interesado alcanzar un panorama riguroso y amplio de las cuestiones y debates abiertos. La potente irrupcion de la ultima ola feminista ha conseguido enfocar experiencias, demandas y daños invisibilizados por los marcos simbolicos dominantes que solicitan urgentes intervenciones politicas y reformas legislativas. Estos procesos se producen en distintos ejes de conflicto que, cuando se polarizan, tienden a simplificar los terminos para generar camaras de eco y burbujas epistemicas.En este contexto, las entradas propuestas en la Enciclopedia critica del genero pretenden contribuir a enriquecer las discusiones, matizar las posturas y diversificar los puntos de vista con el objetivo de que esten a la altura de la complejidad de las cosas mismas. Para ello, el conjunto de las entradas se organiza en los tres ejes que convergen cuando hablamos de genero: los cuerpos (con sus bellezas, normas, capacidades, emociones), las identidades (con sus transiciones, fronteras, orientaciones, canones) y las sexualidades (con sus diferencias, mutaciones, transgresiones, estigmas).Una obra colosal que reune el riguroso trabajo de mas de cincuenta especialistas en estudios de genero y teoria queer. Academicos e investigadores de las mejores universidades de Iberoamerica que sistematizan, ponen orden y aportan claridad a un conjunto de tematicas de interes general que atraviesan de pleno el debate publico.

Democracies are fragile. Freedoms that seem secure can be lost. Few historical events illustrate this as vividly as the failure of the Weimar Republic.Fateful Hours tells one of the greatest dramas in world history: the failure of Germanys first democracy, culminating in the horrific rise of the Third Reich.But this tragedy was not inevitable. In this gripping new book, celebrated historian Volker Ullrich charts the many failed alternatives and missed opportunities that contributed to German democracys collapse. In an immersive style that takes us to the heart of political power, Ullrich argues that, right up until January 1933, history was open - just as in the present, it is up to us whether democracy lives or dies.

Repleto de enigmas e paradoxos, o livro de Zacarias o mais longo dos Profetas Menores influenciou profundamente os autores do Novo Testamento, sendo um dos livros do Antigo Testamento mais citados. No entanto, seu conteudo continua sem ser compreendido por muitos leitores hoje.Neste comentario, George Klein expe Zacarias com primor, abrindo as portas para um texto biblico que oferece perspectivas incomparaveis sobre os caminhos de Deus, com enfase particular na obra do Messias e na natureza do Reino futuro. Ao explicitar a unidade teologica de Zacarias e de toda a Escritura, o leitor ficara encantado com o livro de Zacarias e o estudara de forma muito mais profunda.

By the summer of 1940, as France fell and war raged across Europe, the invasion of Britain once unthinkable seemed all but inevitable. It would take fresh thinking and bold moves to turn the tide of the war: a challenge that Churchill and his Cabinet would be set to conquer in no small part due to their formation of a fifth column. The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was soon born, its purpose to hamstring the enemy from the shadows. Agents drawn from diverse professions and countries were trained in subversion and espionage before being dropped behind enemy lines to mobilise resistance and disrupt the occupying forces. From local operations in France and wider Europe, SOEs missions would spread worldwide to pave the way for D-Day and help halt the Axis war machine in its tracks.SOE in 100 Objects picks up the clues they left behind a button compass in Greece, a silk map in Burma and follows their trail across land and sea, from moonlight flights to high-risk missions and, ultimately, hard-won liberation.

An airline captain crafts a riveting, adventurous novel inspired by the remarkable true life of pioneer aviatrix Bessie Coleman, a Black woman who learned to fly at the dawn of aviation and found freedom in the air. The daughter of a woman born into slavery, Bessie answers the call of the Great Migration, moving to Chicago, where she wins the backing of two wealthy, powerful Black men--Robert Abbott, creator and publisher of the Chicago Defender, and Jesse Binga, the founder of Chicagos first Black bank.While she finds no prejudice in the air, Bessie wrestles with other challenges on the ground. A plane crash nearly kills her, her brothers seem to be crumbling under the weight of Jim Crow, and, while grappling with tough truths about Binga, Bessie begins to wonder if the freedom she finds in the sky means she must otherwise fly solo.

The commonly held belief that the king or queen is a mere ornament of the constitution could not be further from reality. The turbulent past decade has tested the British constitution like never before, and Brexit, the illegal proroguing of Parliament and the near death of Boris Johnson while in office have demonstrated the often misunderstood but crucial role the sovereign plays in ensuring stability in our political system.The king or queen holds a unique set of powers that enable them to act as the defender of our constitution, a duty they perform not through the active use of power but by constitutional authority. The mere threat of action by the sovereign is often all that is needed to get the political machine back on track and avoid crisis.Taking us on a fascinating journey through centuries of British political history, focusing on the monarchs powers to appoint and dismiss a Prime Minister, grant a dissolution of Parliament and refuse assent to legislation, On His Majestys Service examines how past monarchs have avoided constitutional crisis and reveals the hidden hand of the monarchy in the smooth running of the state, shattering the accepted political truism that the king reigns but does not rule.These are the kings prerogative powers, and this is their story.

Incels involuntary celibates are often cast as violent, misogynistic loners, consumed by resentment towards women. With shocking tragedies like the 2014 Isla Vista killings and the 2024 Bondi Junction stabbings heightening fears about the threat they pose, understanding this phenomenon has never been more crucial.But its important not to view incels as aliens who came down to earth on women-hating spaceships from a distant women-hating planet. Though their belief system referred to as the blackpill is no doubt extreme, they havent constructed it from nothing. These young men are shaped by the media they consume and the society that surrounds us.In Blackpilled, Meadhbh Park takes an unflinching look at the incel movement through the lenses of masculinity and media studies. Drawing on interviews with incels across the globe and analysing cultural touchstones such as The Matrix, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, Euphoria, Joker and Blade Runner 2049, Park uncovers the origins of their beliefs and what they really think. She also examines potential ways to help incels break free from the nihilistic and hate-fuelled grip of the blackpill.With extremist misogyny on the rise and governments debating whether incels should be labelled a terror threat, Blackpilled delivers urgent, thought-provoking conclusions that couldnt be more timely.

This tech could change everything for women - heres how.From periods and childbirth to menopause, female pain has been normalized, as society shrugs and says welcome to being a woman instead of coming up with better solutions. But it doesnt have to be this way. In The Vagina Business, award-winning journalist Marina Gerner takes an eye-opening look at the innovators challenging the status quo to deliver the healthcare solutions women need.With interviews from 100 entrepreneurs, researchers and investors across 15 countries, The Vagina Business explores the future of womens health, where female-focused companies are developing products to help women at every stage of life. From a life-saving bra to non-hormonal contraception and new takes on fertility and menopause, it shines a light on innovation that matters. Women should not be denied solutions to health issues just because people are embarrassed to talk about vaginas. We deserve much better.

The political left has an urgent and rising problem with authoritarianism. An alarmingly high percentage of self-identified progressives are punitive, bullying, and intolerant of disagreement and the problem is getting worse.Using his own cutting-edge research, leading psychologist Luke Conway shows that its not just right-wing extremists who long for an authority figure to crush their enemies, silence opponents and restore order; it s also those who preach be kind and celebrate their inclusivity. A persistent proportion of left-wingers demonstrate authoritarian tendencies, and theyre becoming more emboldened as they gain cultural and political power. On a range of scientific and social issues, they are increasingly advocating censorship over free debate, disregarding the rule of law, and dehumanising their opponents. These tendencies are part of an accelerating threat circle of mutual hatred and fear between left and right that could tear apart our basic democratic norms.Concluding with an eloquent call for firm but rational resistance to this rising tide of liberal bullying, Conway presents a way forward for our hyper-partisan era.

Remarkable.THE TIMESWonderful. GUARDIANFascinating.DAILY TELEGRAPHA landscape-keyhole onto the whole world . . . Glorious. Robert MacfarlaneA thrill akin to discovering buried treasure. RICHARD MABEYWhen Alexandra Harris returned to her childhood home of West Sussex, she realised that she barely knew the place at all. As she probed beneath the surface, excavating layers of archival records and everyday objects, hundreds of unexpected stories and hypnotic voices emerged from the areas past. These electrifying encounters - ranging from those with the painter John Constable and the modernist writer Ford Madox Ford to the lost local women who left little trace - inspired her to imagine lives that, though seemingly distant, are deeply connected through this shared landscape. By focusing on one small patch of England, Harris opens vast new horizons.

Fenianism was the Irish separatist movement committed to winning Irish freedom through revolution. Defeated often, its tremendous resilience enabled it to rise time and again, phoenix-like, until it eventually inspired the 1916 Easter Rising, soon followed by an Irish War of Independence that finally established an Irish Free State.The Fenian Rising vividly describes the evolution of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and its American counterpart, the Fenian Brotherhood, two revolutionary organisations dedicated to overthrowing British rule in Ireland and establishing an Irish Republic. Led by James Stephens, nineteenth-century Irelands most important revolutionary, the IRB rapidly became an increasingly serious threat which Dublin Castle struggled unsuccessfully for years to suppress. Despite Stephenss downfall in January 1867 the long-anticipated rising followed two months later.In spite of its failure, republicans snatched political victory from the jaws of defeat when in September 1867 the execution of the Manchester Martyrs galvanised every shade of Irish nationalism. Rising from the ashes, the IRB survived to eventually become what one historian has called the most enduring and successful revolutionary secret society in Europe.
