I have written this book in order to collaborate in a very small way to make the world a better place where human beings can be assured that our future will be guided towards constant progress, not only as individuals, but as a human race. The book is an analysis of the existing policy, which is based on features of the first civilizations, in terms of structural organization and ideologies. When making an analysis of the representations of government of nations, within history, we realize many errors in these. In order to transform anomalies in politics such as corruption, laws and rules. He escrito este libro con el fin de colaborar aunque sea en forma minscula a hacer del mundo un mejor l...
La vida te enseña reúne ciento una historias con un poso real y cotidiano. Son muy breves, pero de ellas se puede extraer mucha sabiduría. La lectura de estos relatos y la reflexión que acompaña a cada uno de ellos permiten extraer, de modo natural, conclusiones prácticas para la existencia cotidiana que harán el trato con los demás, con uno mismo y con el entorno más fácil y agradable. Este libro demuestra que se puede vivir con coherencia y con paz, y que extraer una enseñanza nueva de cada día es posible: solo hay que tener los ojos mentales bien abiertos.
In ¡Presente! Diana Taylor asks what it means to be physically and politically present in situations where it seems that nothing can be done. As much an act, a word, an attitude, a theoretical intervention, and a performance pedagogy, Taylor maps ¡presente! at work in scenarios ranging from conquest, through colonial enactments and resistance movements, to present moments of capitalist extractivism and forced migration in the Americas. ¡Presente!—present among, with, and to; a walking and talking with others; an ontological and epistemic reflection on presence and subjectivity as participatory and relational, founded on mutual recognition—requires rethinking and unlearning in ways that challenge colonial epistemologies. Showing how knowledge is not something to be harvested but a process of being, knowing, and acting with others, Taylor models a way for scholarship to be present in political struggles.
In July 2009 Germany hosted the 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). For the very first time the number of participating countries exceeded 100, with 104 countries from all continents. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the IMO provides an ideal opportunity to look back over the past five decades and to review its development to become a worldwide event. This book is a report about the 50th IMO as well as the IMO history. A lot of data about all the 50 IMOs are included. We list the most successful contestants, the results of the 50 Olympiads and the 112 countries that have ever taken part. It is impressive to see that many of the world’s leading research mathematicians were among the most successful IMO participants in their youth. Six of them gave presentations at a special celebration: Bollobás, Gowers, Lovász, Smirnov, Tao and Yoccoz. This book is aimed at students in the IMO age group and all those who have interest in this worldwide leading competition for highschool students.

El libro invita a cambiar el rumbo de la humanidad, mostrando al lector los graves problemas a los que se enfrenta la humanidad del siglo XXI y la enorme cantidad de soluciones disponibles. Con la multitud de datos, cifras y citas, el lector encontrara que su paso por el mundo no es neutral, pudiendo ser parte del problema o parte de la solucion. Se resaltan tres pilares de la sostenibilidad: consumir moderada y responsablemente, la justicia global, y denunciar los abusos para poder cambiar la situacion. Se recorren problemas como la superpoblacion y el consumismo, la contaminacion, la economia, la globalizacion, la perdida de biodiversidad, la dependencia energetica, el consumo abusivo de carne, la desigualdad mundial, la discriminacion de la mujer. Se aportan soluciones globales, que un ciudadano corriente solo puede demandar, pero tambien soluciones factibles para cualquier ciudadano que, con este manual, ya no podra decir que no sabe que hacer ante tantos y tan graves problemas.
William Heath Davis (1822-1909) was the son of a Boston ship captain engaged in the Hawaiian trade and a Polynesian mother. After visiting California twice on trading voyages that took him all around South and North America, he settled in Monterey to work with his merchant uncle in 1838. In 1845 he settled permanently in San Francisco, becoming one of the city's leading merchants. His marriage to María de Jesus Estudillo tied him to the Hispanic community in his adopted region. Davis loved the easy life of the Californios, the descendants of the Mexicans who had arrived in Alta California in the late 1770s. He found them the happiest and most contented people he had ever known. Davis managed to meet almost every prominent man and woman who lived in or passed through California. He was one of the founders of New Town (now downtown San Diego). He served on San Francisco's first city council; he built San Francisco's first brick building and cofounded San Leandro.
