Dr. Fernando Leal Carretero. Para una filosofía de la educación especial. Hoy día la educación general se dirige a todos los niños excepto a aquellos que tienen “necesidades especiales”. La tendencia a la “inclusión” (eliminar la educación especial a favor de la general) es fuerte y parece irresistible, por cuanto se ajusta muy bien a las ideas sociales y pedagógicas en boga. En este artículo se propone considerar la dirección contraria. Se argumenta que todos los niños (y más generalmente, todos los seres humanos) tenemos necesidades especiales. Las diferencias cognitivas (que incluyen las afectivo-emocionales y las conativo-motoras) constituyen la fortaleza de la humanidad, acaso de manera paralela a como la diversidad de especies constituye la fortaleza de la biosfera y sus variadas ecosferas. Cada capacidad humana en algún terreno conlleva discapacidades en otros y viceversa. Se plantea que en el futuro no habrá educación especial, porque toda educación lo será. (ITESO) (Xioe totek)
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

Invertebrates are common in marine and freshwater ecosystems and key elements in processes such as trophic dynamics and nutrient recycling. At the present time we have a limited knowledge of their diversity and how they have evolved over time. A key element of study in this book, are the current efforts to produce revised classificatory systems which include modern approaches and an update of the current taxonomical system. Another topic discussed in great detail is the relation of invertebrates and their contribution to biodiversity in terms of unique species per habitat. "Invertebrates: Classification, Evolution and Biodiversity" represents an effort to show the relevance of this unique gr...
