Riesgos de los viajes en el tiempo

Autor: Joyce Carol Oates

Número de Páginas: 292

La novela más imaginativa, joven y distópica de Joyce Carol Oates. «Agárrate fuerte: esta es una obra sobrecogedora de principio a fin.» The Guardian «Una novela memorable.» Publishers Weekly En el Estado rígido y totalitario en el que tiene lugar esta historia, los viajes en el tiempo, tanto como sus peligros, son muy reales. Sin embargo, aquí no son el origen de divertidas aventuras, sino castigos del poder contra individuos subversivos. Individuos como Adriane Strohl, aunque ella nunca hubiese sospechado ser una chica peligrosa. Después dar su discurso de graduación y a modo de «rehabilitación» por Traición y Cuestionamiento de la Autoridad, Adriane es enviada a Wainscotia, una ciudad que solo existía ochenta años antes, en 1959. Pero su idealismo no entiende de saltos temporales y no puede evitar cuestionar los principios que rigen su sociedad, con resultados liberadores... pero también estremecedores. La crítica ha dicho... «Oates tiende a difundir los peligros a la orden del día, y no necesariamente aquellos que es más probable que nos afecten. Hace fotocopias distorsionadas de la mente estadounidense con bandas de moteros, madres psicóticas, sectas,...

El presente compendio es una obra dedicada al envejecimiento, que busca evidenciar la primera versión del Programa del Posgrado de Geriatría y Gerontología que, desde el año 2015, se impartió en la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE), como parte de los 18 programas de especialidades médicas de la Facultad de Medicina. La primera versión de Geriatría y Gerontología se desarrolló con 5 cohortes. En Ecuador, esta especialidad es ofertada únicamente en una Institución educativa superior: la PUCE, que fomenta la formación de profesionales en esta rama con énfasis en la investigación en adultos mayores, un grupo vulnerable de la sociedad. En el programa, los estudiantes formularon diversas incógnitas en relación al manejo de la población gerontológica y, en un trabajo conjunto con los tutores de tesis, se resolvieron algunas incógnitas de los diferentes problemas planteados. Estas propuestas responden a diversos temas: primero, clínicos, como síndromes geriátricos, valoración geriátrica integral, funcionalidad, importancia de marcadores de laboratorio en el adulto mayor. Segundo, de carácter social, como la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores ...

Natural Hazards and Disaster Justice

Autor: Anna Lukasiewicz , Claudia Baldwin

Número de Páginas: 393

This book explores policy, legal, and practice implications regarding the emerging field of disaster justice, using case studies of floods, bushfires, heatwaves, and earthquakes in Australia and Southern and South-east Asia. It reveals geographic locational and social disadvantage and structural inequities that lead to increased risk and vulnerability to disaster, and which impact ability to recover post-disaster. Written by multidisciplinary disaster researchers, the book addresses all stages of the disaster management cycle, demonstrating or recommending just approaches to preparation, response and recovery. It notably reveals how procedural, distributional and interactional aspects of justice enhance resilience, and offers a cutting edge analysis of disaster justice for managers, policy makers, researchers in justice, climate change or emergency management.

Life and Death Matters

Autor: Barbara Rose Johnston

Número de Páginas: 488

The first edition of Life and Death Matters was a breakthrough text, centralizing the experiences of those on the front lines of environmental crises and forging new paradigms for understanding how crises emerge and how different groups of actors respond to them. This second edition, fully updated with both expanded and new chapters, once again provides a benchmark for the field and opens important pathways for further research. Authors reassess the state of scholarship and grassroots activism in a new century when social and environmental systems are being reconceptualised within post-9/11 security and biosecurity frameworks, when global warming and resource scarcity are not fears but realities, when global power and politics are being realigned, and when ecocide, ethnocide, and genocide are daily tragedies. This bold new edition of Life and Death Matters will be a widely used textbook and essential reading for students, scholars, and policy makers.

The Great Ocean

Autor: David Igler

Número de Páginas: 268

The Pacific of the early eighteenth century was not a single ocean but a vast and varied waterscape, a place of baffling complexity, with 25,000 islands and seemingly endless continental shorelines. But with the voyages of Captain James Cook, global attention turned to the Pacific, and European and American dreams of scientific exploration, trade, and empire grew dramatically. By the time of the California gold rush, the Pacific's many shores were fully integrated into world markets-and world consciousness. The Great Ocean draws on hundreds of documented voyages--some painstakingly recorded by participants, some only known by archeological remains or indigenous memory--as a window into the commercial, cultural, and ecological upheavals following Cook's exploits, focusing in particular on the eastern Pacific in the decades between the 1770s and the 1840s. Beginning with the expansion of trade as seen via the travels of William Shaler, captain of the American Brig Lelia Byrd, historian David Igler uncovers a world where voyagers, traders, hunters, and native peoples met one another in episodes often marked by violence and tragedy. Igler describes how indigenous communities struggled ...

For Brotherhood & Duty

Autor: Brian R. Mcenany

Número de Páginas: 362

“A moving tribute to the first class of cadets that graduated into the cauldron of the Civil War . . . honors the service of all the Army ‘regulars.’” —America’s Civil War During the tense months leading up to the American Civil War, the cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point continued their education even as the nation threatened to dissolve around them. Students from both the North and South struggled to understand events such as John Brown’s Raid, the secession of eleven states from the Union, and the attack on Fort Sumter. By graduation day, half the class of 1862 had resigned; only twenty-eight remained, and their class motto—”Joined in common cause” —had been severely tested. In For Brotherhood & Duty, Brian R. McEnany follows the cadets from their initiation, through coursework, and on to the battlefield, focusing on twelve Union and four Confederate soldiers. Drawing heavily on primary sources, McEnany presents a fascinating chronicle of the young classmates, who became allies and enemies during the largest conflict ever undertaken on American soil. Their vivid accounts provide new perspectives not only on legendary battles such as ...
