Se apagaba el siglo III y amanecía el siglo II a. C. cuando, en pleno dominio seleucida de Palestina, vio la luz esta peculiar obra, escrita originalmente en hebreo. El traductor al griego se presenta como nieto del autor, de cuyo nombre informa: Jesus. Esta obra firmada pretende ser aparentemente un compendio de sabiduria orientado a la educacion religiosa de los israelitas, si bien no puede ocultar los rasgos de un autentico manual de teologia politica, muñida al servicio de una ideologia sociopolitica concreta. Una prodigiosa trinidad de entidades convergentes entre si (Religion, Sabiduria y Ley) invita a los lectores a la resiliencia frente a la adversidad, mientras se cubren las etapas del largo camino a casa.

In the Fifth Edition of the bestselling text Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches, John W. Creswell and Cheryl N. Poth guide researchers in selecting the best option for their studies by exploring, evaluating, and applying five qualitative research approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. For each of these qualitative inquiry traditions, the authors explore the philosophical underpinnings, history, defining features, common data procedures, and writing structures. With expanded content reflecting technological developments in the qualitative research process, more inclusivity and diversity in examples, and updated references, the Fifth Edition is an ideal introduction to the theories, strategies, and practices of qualitative research.

If in this book harsh words are spoken about some of the greatest among the intellectual leaders of mankind, my motive is not, I hope, to belittle them. It springs rather from my conviction that, if our civilization is to survive, we must break with the habit of deference to great men.'- Karl Popper, from the PrefaceWritten in political exile during the Second World War and first published in two volumes in 1945, Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is one of the most influential books of all time. Hailed by Bertrand Russell as a 'vigorous and profound defence of democracy', its now legendary attack on the philosophies of Plato, Hegel and Marx exposed the dangers inherent in ce...
