Gracias a la incansable labor, al progresivo aumento de recursos, y a la reiterada denuncia que desde diferentes ámbitos de la vida social se está realizando en torno a la violencia contra las mujeres, hoy podemos decir que ésta ha dejado de ser una realidad legitimada, silenciada y privada para convertirse en una problemática social, de salud pública. Motivados por esta convicción y exigencia social se ha elaborado este manual que pretende ofrecer una formación integral que dote de los conocimientos y de las herramientas necesarias para la detección, intervención y prevención de la violencia de género en la pareja. Este libro está dirigido a aquellas y aquellos profesionales que directamente están trabajando en esta problemática, como otras personas que quieren informarse desde una mirada integradora e interdisciplinar.

Queen Isabel of Castile is perhaps best known for her patronage of Christopher Columbus and for the religious zeal that led to the Spanish Inquisition, the waging of holy war, and the expulsion of Jews and Muslims across the Iberian peninsula. In this sweeping biography, newly revised and annotated to coincide with the five-hundredth anniversary of Isabel's death, Peggy K. Liss draws upon a rich array of sources to untangle the facts, legends, and fiercely held opinions about this influential queen and her decisive role in the tumultuous politics of early modern Spain. Isabel the Queen reveals a monarch who was a woman of ruthless determination and strong religious beliefs, a devoted wife and mother, and a formidable leader. As Liss shows, Isabel's piety and political ambition motivated her throughout her life, from her earliest struggles to claim her crown to her secret marriage to King Fernando of Aragón, a union that brought success in civil war, consolidated Christian hegemony over the Iberian peninsula, and set the stage for Spain to become a world empire.
