¿Desde cuándo es posible hablar de mujeres en el mundo del libro? ¿Cómo la historia del libro latinoamericano ha narrado —o no— los aportes que ellas han hecho en el ámbito editorial? Durante siglos, las impresoras, editoras, tipógrafas, encuadernadoras y libreras han sido invisibilizadas o relegadas en los estudios sobre la edición. Esta obra, que reúne los trabajos de veintiocho investigadoras de distintas disciplinas, aborda casos, panoramas, problemas, metodologías y fuentes documentales, con el fin de valorar los diversos aspectos del papel que han tenido las mujeres en el mundo del libro en Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, España, Guatemala, México, Perú, República Dominicana y Uruguay, entre los siglos XVII y XXI. En el marco de este campo, aún reciente y poco explorado, Las mujeres y los estudios del libro y la edición en Iberoamérica establece una línea de investigación con la que se espera incentivar futuras historias del libro y la edición de Latinoamérica, en las que, de forma articulada y sistemática, las voces de las mujeres sean incluidas, visibilizadas e iluminadas.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of current research, policy, and practice developments in promoting mental health and well-being. It offers guidance on developing and delivering mental health promotion interventions across a variety of settings internationally. Chapters outline key mental health promotion concepts, implementation processes, and outcomes through empirical findings, practical advice based on successful evidence-based approaches, and templates for action. In addition, chapters answer key “how” questions on practical implementation as well as the “whys”, providing rationales for mental health promotion and identifying the key factors and underlying principles t...
Patrisia Gonzales addresses "Red Medicine" as a system of healing that includes birthing practices, dreaming, and purification rites to re-establish personal and social equilibrium. The book explores Indigenous medicine across North America, with a special emphasis on how Indigenous knowledge has endured and persisted among peoples with a legacy to Mexico. Gonzales combines her lived experience in Red Medicine as an herbalist and traditional birth attendant with in-depth research into oral traditions, storytelling, and the meanings of symbols to uncover how Indigenous knowledge endures over time. And she shows how this knowledge is now being reclaimed by Chicanos, Mexican Americans and Mexic...
Ibrahim is a young Muslim guy walking from Cardiff to London. He has his own reasons, and his own mental and physical struggles to deal with along the way. What he hadn't counted on was a chance meeting with 75-year-old East Londoner Reenie before he's hardly started. With her life's luggage in a shopping trolley, complete with an orange tent and her pet cockatiel, Reenie is also walking the M4, and not for charity. As they share a journey their paths stretch out before and behind them into the personal and political turns of European history in ways neither could have foreseen. An impressive and daringly human book from novelist David Llewellyn.
This book is devoted to the frequency domain approach, for both regular and degenerate Hopf bifurcation analyses. Besides showing that the time and frequency domain approaches are in fact equivalent, the fact that many significant results and computational formulas obtained in the studies of regular and degenerate Hopf bifurcations from the time domain approach can be translated and reformulated into the corresponding frequency domain setting, and be reconfirmed and rediscovered by using the frequency domain methods, is also explained. The description of how the frequency domain approach can be used to obtain several types of standard bifurcation conditions for general nonlinear dynamical sy...

Es hermoso haber tenido a alguien así de abuelito, una persona muy especial, trabajadora, honrada, hombre a carta cabal, hombre que conoció el descanso solo hasta el día que se fue al paraíso de los japoneses buenos. A ese gran hombre le doy mi abrazo espiritual, sintiendo su olor a aserrín de madera de parota y al barniz que él mismo preparaba, a ese hombre alegre, platicador, contador de anécdotas, andador de los caminos y brechas, del Tule, Padilla, Buen País, Tuxpan, el 21 de noviembre, Pihuamo, Santa Cruz, La Estrella, El Naranjo y más. A ese hombre que es raíz e historia de nuestra familia, cantante japonés que nos impresionaba su nostálgica melodía. Aún tengo en mis oídos su voz narrando la canción de una gaviota que se va y los vientos la arrastran y dejan maltrecha. Ese hombre fue mi abuelito Kikumatsu Kamei Marmoto, japonés, quien al casarse adopto el nombre de Carlos Kamey Marmoto. Muchas gracias por interesarse en la historia de mi abuelito y de nuestra familia, y gracias por leer las anécdotas y vivencias de todos nosotros. Dios Los Bendiga. Atentamente José Kamey Ibáñez.
Plato’s discussions of poetry and the poets stand at the cradle of Western literary criticism. Plato is, paradoxically, both the philosopher who cites, or alludes to, works of poetry more than any other, and the one who is at the same time the harshest critic of poetry. The nineteen essays presented here aim to offer various avenues to this paradox, and to illuminate the ways poetry and the poets are discussed by Plato throughout his writing career, from the Apology and the Ion to the Laws. As well as throwing new light on old topics, such as mimesis and poetic inspiration, the volume introduces fresh approaches to Plato’s philosophy of poetry and literature.
