Methodological Naturalism and Planetary Humanism: A Worldview for the 21st Century
This book reviews a Naturalistic worldview based on a scientifi c understanding of the world and the broad perspective of cosmic evolution. We are the product of a long evolutionary process that has been marked by four pivotal events: the Big-Bang, the appearance of life, the emergence of mind and the evolution of culture. The issue of whether or not the universe had a beginning remains undefi ned. The origin of life from inanimate matter also remains undefi ned, but the evolution of life forms by natural selection is supported by many lines of evidence.

LA CUESTIÓN URBANA EN CIUDADES INTERMEDIAS PATAGÓNICAS. EL CASO PUERTO MADRYN
¿Es posible imaginar una ciudad anhelada, ajustando los comportamientos de su gente para construirla? ¿Y como consecuencia, vivir en un entorno urbano con una naturaleza amable y embellecida por la acción creadora e inteligente del ser humano? Y en retrospectiva, ¿Cómo entender su desarrollo histórico? El Libro ofrece una respuesta a esos interrogantes haciendo foco en ciudades intermedias de la Patagonia y tomando como caso de análisis la ciudad de Puerto Madryn. Es un aporte al debate de ideas para orientar el desarrollo de las ciudades patagónicas, frente al riesgo de degradación urbana, producto de ignorar las razones que producen su declinación y renunciar a nuestra capacidad de imaginar una ciudad anhelada en Común Unidad. En cambio busca afirmar esa tan menoscabada capacidad de planificar como rasgo distintivo del ser humano.

Violencias y desamparos
¿Cómo se pueden entender las violencias que se manifiestan de forma particular en sujetos que han sufrido diversas formas de desamparo? Para responder a esta pregunta este libro plantea algunas orientaciones teóricas, al mismo tiempo que lo ilustra con algunas experiencias clínicas relevantes. Asimismo, muestra cómo el abordaje de la violencia no es simplemente un desafío técnico, pues supone una ética que implica un doble compromiso: el del niño/a o adolescente que debe consentir a realizar una elaboración personal de sus «impasses» y el del profesional que le acompaña. A partir de su experiencia de 25 años de trabajo, los autores muestran las claves epistémicas y clínicas de un abordaje en el que se sienten comprometidos con esos niños/as y adolescentes tutelados.
Couples That Work
Every couple wants a happy relationship and a meaningful career but how do we balance both? In Couples that Work, Professor Jennifer Petriglieri shifts away from the language of sacrifice and trade-offs and focuses on how couples can successfully tackle the challenges they will face throughout their lives--together. The book explores key questions like: - Can you and your partner have equally important careers or must you prioritise one over the other? - How can you juggle children or family commitments without sacrificing your work? - Does every decision require compromise or can you find solutions that benefit you both? Identifying common triggers and traps, and presenting engaging exercises to help you avoid and overcome them, this book will help every couple design their own unique way to combine love and work at every stage of their journey. 'Hugely insightful. All couples must read this now' Susan David, author of Emotional Agility 'Managing one career is hard enough; two often seems impossible. In this book, Jennifer shares what she's learned about how couples can not only survive but thrive' Adam Grant, author of Originals
