Demetrio Casado (coordinador) Con la colaboración del SIPOSO Las familias vienen desempeñando un papel importantísimo en, aparte de otras, las funciones de crianza y de atención a las personas en situacion de dependencia funcional. El conocimiento muestra que es deseable el mantenimiento de esa dedicacion familiar en aras de la calidad de los cuidados y de la satisfaccion de las aspiraciones de una gran parte de las personas concernidas. Las sociedades avanzadas no deben desplazar a las familias de tales menesteres, sino procurarles apoyos que faciliten su realizacion adecuada, tanto para quienes reciben los cuidados, como para quienes los prestan. Tales apoyos son muy diversos en cuanto a su naturaleza y sus agentes. Los poderes publicos estan llamados a ampliar los premisos, prestaciones economicas y recursos tecnicos existentes para facilitar las funciones biosociales de las familias. Los empleadores deben optar resueltamente por la conciliacion de la vida laboral y la familiar avanzando en lineas como la flexibilidad de jornada o el teletrabajo. En el sector no lucrativo, conviene que se incremente la oferta de servicios no sustitutorios, sino complementarios, de los cuidados familiares. Y es deseable que las propias familias mejoren su cooperacion interna con las madres
From the targeting of schools and hospitals, to the indiscriminate use of white phosphorus, Israel's conduct in 'Operation Cast Lead' has rattled even some of its most strident supporters.

Gaza in Crisis is a rigorous, historically informed and much-needed analysis of the situation and will be welcomed by all those eager for Chomsky's insights into yet another political catastrophe.

El lector podrá comprobar por sí mismo que el"clásico"de plena actualidad que tiene en la mano es un modelo de introducción al estudio científico del lenguaje y, a la vez, una vía de acceso a las ciencias humanas hasta ahora no sobrepasada. El novedoso y profundo analisis sintactico de este libro hace ver que la estructura no superficial del ingles y del español tienen mucho mas en comun de lo que la enseñanza usual de estas lenguas pone de manifiesto.
An accessible, powerful overview of Noam Chomsky's political thoughtIn sixteen extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people; how attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought; how historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War.
