Download or read book South American camelids research written by Martina Gerke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "South American Camelids are receiving increased interest not only in South America but also on a worldwide scale. They possess some unique features such as their fine fibre and their high adaptivity to many climatic regions across the world. Apart from the important productive aspects, their physical attractiveness also makes them popular as pet animals. However there are still many gaps in the scientific literature with regard to South American Camelids. This collection of papers brings experience of both South American and European experts together. It considers current trends in reproduction, nutrition, health, fibre morphology and genetics and discusses as new topic aspects of the potential of meat production and commercialization in South America. The particular advantages of South American Camelids for the sustainable use of fragile ecosystems with native pastures are outlined. Round tables discussions focus on the interaction between wild and domestic species, the management of alpaca populations outside of South America and health aspects under European conditions. South American Research is aimed at scientists and animal breeders as well as students studying veterinary, animal and applied biological sciences."

Book excerpt: La obra podría llamarse, "expresiones, sentires, enfoques, puntos de vista", intrascendentes, quizás, pero necesariamente humanos. Siguiendo a Borges, podríamos decir que son "cuentos según la expectativa del lector". Si el lector no se acerca a ellos esperando leer cuentos, pues no lo son. Son, simplemente, rasgos de vida humana objetivada, reflejos de experiencias propias o ajenas, pues también de las experiencias de otros aprendemos y vivimos. Momentos de lo humano a los que (dijo Terencio), no podemos ser ajenos, meras salidas espontáneas de las flores, de las espinas, de los abrojos y de las piedras que llevamos por dentro... No pretendemos ser el "espejo que anda por el camino", sino mostrar el camino para que el espejo del lector lo perciba y lo interprete a su manera, conforme a su propia luz...

Download or read book The Politics of Chemistry written by Agustí Nieto-Galan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agust Nieto-Galan argues that chemistry in the twentieth century was deeply and profoundly political. Far from existing in a distinct public sphere, chemical knowledge was applied in ways that created strong links with industrial and military projects, and national rivalries and international endeavours, that materially shaped the living conditions of millions of citizens. It is within this framework that Nieto-Galan analyses how Spanish chemists became powerful ideological agents in different political contexts, from liberal to dictatorial regimes, throughout the century. He unveils chemists' position of power in Spain, their place in international scientific networks, and their engagement in fierce ideological battles in an age of extremes. Shared discourses between chemistry and liberalism, war, totalitarianism, religion, and diplomacy, he argues, led to advancements in both fields.

Download or read book Retrato de un hombre libre written by Agustín García Simón and published by Editorial Renacimiento. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tradición cultural que alimentó a los grandes maestros en las aulas de institutos y universidades españolas se ha ido extinguiendo en los últimos años, como acervo incompatible con una sociedad que niega o, simplemente, ignora la entrega callada y sabia de los viejos profesores. El ruido mediático, la velocidad y vértigo de nuestro tiempo, han arrumbado vidas y trayectorias dedicadas por vocación y pasión al saber y su transmisión, como concepto inseparable del conocimiento, la ética y el civismo. Hay que retroceder a las postrimerías del siglo pasado para encontrar los últimos eslabones sueltos de lo que antaño fue una cadena brillante y sólida de pedagogía humanística y crítica, que unía sabiduría y vida como ejemplo y método de enseñanza. Es el caso de don Santiago de los Mozos, catedrático de las universidades de Granada y Valladolid en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, protagonista de este Retrato de un hombre libre; retrato intelectual, en efecto, de uno de los maestros españoles más desconocidos y, a la vez, más fascinantes del espectro universitario español contemporáneo. Su porte institucionista, aunque nunca pasó por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, su temple maireniano, su ideario ilustrado que expresaba una inteligencia excepcional y un don de la palabra que le hicieron justamente célebre en su medio, van revelándose en esta obra a través de un agudo diálogo entre el autor y el maestro, hasta conformar un atractivo ensayo, intenso y apasionado, sobre la historia y cultura españolas en sus claves más importantes, y en sus demonios característicos y redivivos. Un retrato espléndido que desprende por doquier la natural grandeza del maestro, cuya lección ilumina con finísima ironía la España democrática que va de la Transición al año 2000. Agustín García Simón (Montemayor –Valladolid–, 1953). Editor, escritor y periodista, ha dedicado su vida profesional a la cultura del libro, aunque sigue atento a la actualidad en sus colaboraciones en distintos medios periodísticos. En los últimos treinta años ha dirigido la edición de cientos de libros, seis de los cuales han merecido premios nacionales a los libros mejor editados. Su inclinación por la historia y el humanismo le han llevado a una exigente labor editorial en la que han primado los temas y figuras más abiertos y universales de la cultura y lengua españolas de naturaleza castellana. Entre sus grandes obras como editor destacan: Historia de una Cultura (4 vols.), 1995-1996; Historia de la Ciencia y de la Técnica en la Corona de Castilla (4 vols.), 2002; o la recuperación histórica de los Viajes de extranjeros por España y Portugal (6 vols.), 1999, de don José García Mercadal. Ha publicado ensayos sobre viajes y viajeros extranjeros por España, pero como autor es conocido, fundamentalmente, por el libro que dedicó al retiro del emperador Carlos V: El ocaso del emperador. Carlos V en Yuste (1995). Como narrador se dio a conocer con una singular novela: Valcarlos (Premio Miguel Delibes de narrativa, 2005); y, sobre todo, con los doce relatos que reunió en su última obra: Cuando leas esta carta, yo habré muerto (2009).

Download or read book Cowards Don t Make History written by Joanne Rappaport and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1970s, a group of Colombian intellectuals led by the pioneering sociologist Orlando Fals Borda created a research-activist collective called La Rosca de Investigación y Acción Social (Circle of Research and Social Action). Combining sociological and historical research with a firm commitment to grassroots social movements, Fals Borda and his colleagues collaborated with indigenous and peasant organizations throughout Colombia. In Cowards Don’t Make History Joanne Rappaport examines the development of participatory action research on the Caribbean coast, highlighting Fals Borda’s rejection of traditional positivist research frameworks in favor of sharing his own authority as a researcher with peasant activists. Fals Borda and his colleagues inserted themselves as researcher-activists into the activities of the National Association of Peasant Users, coordinated research priorities with its leaders, studied the history of peasant struggles, and, in collaboration with peasant researchers, prepared accessible materials for an organizational readership, thereby transforming research into a political organizing tool. Rappaport shows how the fundamental concepts of participatory action research as they were framed by Fals Borda continue to be relevant to engaged social scientists and other researchers in Latin America and beyond.

Download or read book New World Gold written by Elvira Vilches and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the New World was initially a cause for celebration. But the vast amounts of gold that Columbus and other explorers claimed from these lands altered Spanish society. The influx of such wealth contributed to the expansion of the Spanish empire, but also it raised doubts and insecurities about the meaning and function of money, the ideals of court and civility, and the structure of commerce and credit. New World Gold shows that, far from being a stabilizing force, the flow of gold from the Americas created anxieties among Spaniards and shaped a host of distinct behaviors, cultural practices, and intellectual pursuits on both sides of the Atlantic. Elvira Vilches examines economic treatises, stories of travel and conquest, moralist writings, fiction, poetry, and drama to reveal that New World gold ultimately became a problematic source of power that destabilized Spain’s sense of trust, truth, and worth. These cultural anxieties, she argues, rendered the discovery of gold paradoxically disastrous for Spanish society. Combining economic thought, social history, and literary theory in trans-Atlantic contexts, New World Gold unveils the dark side of Spain’s Golden Age.

Download or read book The Travels and Controversies of Friar Domingo Navarrete 1616 1686 written by J.S. Cummins and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friar Domingo Navarrete, A Dominican missionary, travelled round the world and spent the best part of his life (1658-69) in China, where he became a determined opponent of the evangelical methods of the 'Jesuit mandarins'. This edition of his travels is based on all his writings, published and manuscript, but principally on the sixth book of his Tratados historicos, which gives a racy account of his travels and work in Mexico, the Philippines, Macao, China, India and Macassar, among other places. He had an observant eye, an open ear and an every-ready pen, together with a happy facility for meeting men of affairs and being at the heart of things. A doughty controversialist and a vivid writer, this enthusiastic sinophile has left a record which is not only full of human interest but throws fresh light upon the uneasy meeting of East and West in the 17th century. Much of the material is original and will be new to English readers. Dr Cummins's Introduction fills in the details of Navarrte's life, character and various writings. It also describes the missionary movement in China and gives the background to the notorious Chinese Rites controversy which markedly influenced the course of European thought. There is a full bibliography. The main pagination of this and the following volume (Second Series 119) is continuous. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1962.
