This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on the funerary archaeology of the Pan-Andean area in the pre-Hispanic period. The contributors examine the treatment of the dead and provide an understanding of how these ancient groups coped with mortality, as well as the ways in which they strove to overcome the effects of death. The contributors also present previously unpublished discoveries and employ a range of academic and analytical approaches that have rarely - if ever - been utilised in South America before. The book covers the Formative Period to the end of the Inca Empire, and the chapters together comprise a state-of-the-art summary of all the best research on Andean funerary archaeology currently being carried out around the globe.

Download or read book Sacrifice Violence and Ideology Among the Moche written by Steve Bourget and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a special precinct dedicated to ritual sacrifice at Huaca de la Luna on the north coast of Peru, about seventy-five men were killed and dismembered, their remains and body parts then carefully rearranged and left on the ground with numerous offerings. The discovery of this large sacrificial site—one of the most important sites of this type in the Americas—raises fundamental questions. Why was human sacrifice so central to Moche ideology and religion? And why is sacrifice so intimately related to the notions of warfare and capture? In this pioneering book, Steve Bourget marshals all the currently available information from the archaeology and visual culture of Huaca de la Luna as he seeks to understand the centrality of human sacrifice in Moche ideology and, more broadly, the role(s) of violence in the development of social complexity. He begins by providing a fully documented account of the archaeological contexts, demonstrating how closely interrelated these contexts are to the rest of Moche material culture, including its iconography, the regalia of its elite, and its monumental architecture. Bourget then probes the possible meanings of ritual violence and human sacrifice and their intimate connections with concepts of divinity, ancestry, and foreignness. He builds a convincing case that the iconography of ritual violence and the practice of human sacrifice at all the principal Moche ceremonial centers were the main devices used in the establishment and development of the Moche state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming Gods is a vivid ethnography of how a cohort of doctors-in-training in the Mexican city of Puebla learn to become doctors. It illustrates the messy, complex, and nuanced nature of medical training, where trainees not only have to acquire a monumental number of skills but do so against a backdrop of strict hospital hierarchy and a crumbling national medical system that deeply shape who they are.
Download or read book El Hechizo de Tantos Mundos written by Ornella Rota and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El hechizo de tantos mundos habla de lo bello, estimulante, potencialmente fertil que es el vivir en un mundo pluralista: muchos pueblos, valores, realidades y perspectivas. Y por supuesto muchas preguntas. La primera parte del libro consiste en seis conversaciones, realizadas en Roma, entre la misma autora Ornella Rota y un General de la Aeronautica Militar Vincenzo Parma, personaje eclectico y culto, curioso de viajes en el sentido más amplio de la palabra. La segunda parte comprende las conversaciones entre un músico y artista visual Angelo Sturiale y el famoso escritor mexicano Felipe Montes. Estas conversaciones, realizadas en Monterrey en español, han sido grabadas, traducidas y arregladas por Ornella Rota. Como conclusión ideal de estas reflexiones, el último capítulo, "Descubrimientos", propone un dialogo entre Vincenzo Parla y Angelo Sturiale. Por lo tanto, este libro constituye el resultado de escritura de un lato al otro del Oceano, reuniendo cuatro personajes en apariencia tantos distintos entre si, pero en realidad acomunados por el auspicio de un mundo en el cual pueden coexistir, respetandose entre si e interagir tantas y distintas culturas, enfoques, estilos de vida "quizás profundamente diversas pero todos en lo absoluto dignos de igual consideración, siempre que sean dispuestos a respetar irrenunciablemente los derechos humanos", comenta Vincenzo Parma. Angelo Sturiale espera en la conquista del pluralismo incluso en las esferas más privadas, por ejemplo en la idea de familia "que sigue siendo la realidad más importante de la vida y que pero cada uno tiene el derecho de vivirla según sus propios modelos, siempre que no haya violencia, por ningún tipo y motivo". A parte con sus palabras, Angelo Sturiale está presente en el libro con sus dibujos: esenciales, enigmaticos, cosmopolitas, inconfundibles.
Download or read book La Epidemiolog a Aplicada a la Medicina Del Trabajo written by M. En C. Omar Garfias Rojas and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creo que muchos de los profesionales de la salud, no tienen una comprensión adecuada, acerca de lo que abarca la Medicina del Trabajo y las relaciones que esta tiene con la Epidemiología. Más aún, frecuentemente se encuentra una falta de comunicación entre el médico del trabajo y el epidemiólogo a pesar de su mutuo interés en la salud y la enfermedad de los trabajadores. Además, considero justo decir, que la mayoría de los estudiantes de medicina y de otras ciencias de la salud, consideran a la Medicina del Trabajo y a la Epidemiología, como unidades de aprendizaje aburridas e irrelevantes, las que se estudian únicamente porque se les obliga a ello. Otro punto de vista común, en lo referente a la Epidemiología, es que se le considera altamente matemática y demasiado compleja para entenderla. Con este pensamiento, he intentado escribir un libro de texto conciso, para médicos del trabajo, estudiantes de medicina y otros profesionales de la salud, que pueda explicar los conceptos básicos de la epidemiología de manera clara y sencilla. He tratado de suprimir la brecha existente en la comunicación entre el Médico del Trabajo como clínico y el epidemiólogo, describiendo algunos ejemplos clínicos a través del libro, explicando al Médico del Trabajo, por que es necesario el énfasis epidemiológico sobre el estudio de grupos de trabajadores, mas que de individuos.
Download or read book Ser m dico ayer hoy y ma ana written by Alberto Agrest and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2020 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mi ayer, al que me referiré en este libro, es 1947, año en el que me gradué. En ese entonces, ser médico significaba haber adquirido los conocimientos teóricos en la facultad y los prácticos en los hospitales. El conocimiento médico avanzaba de a pie y con paso de paseo. Los médicos podían ser clínicos y cirujanos, y abarcar varias especialidades. Ser médico hoy es muy diferente. A la responsabilidad ética de antaño hacia la propia conciencia, se ha sumado la responsabilidad legal respecto de pacientes muchas veces hostiles y estimulados por abogados poco escrupulosos. Mañana (un mañana que ya es hoy) se le añadirá todavía la responsabilidad económica, exigida por quienes gerencian los sistemas de salud. Así, cualquier clínico, además de enfrentar problemas activos de un paciente concreto, deberá enfrentar –ya lo hace hoy–problemas probabilísticos. Ayer, hoy y mañana no son sólo cambios cronológicos, sino también variaciones de pautas culturales. Sabemos que no podemos detener el tiempo; aun así, podemos defender de la erosión las pautas culturales que creemos dignas. Hasta hace algunas décadas, el médico vivía la pauta cultural de la entrega generosa y la sabiduría, que hoy debe cambiar por la de la efectividad y la eficiencia. El esfuerzo debe apuntar, entonces, a conciliar ambas culturas; el desafío es cómo hacerlo. Alberto Agrest Sus escritos, que deberían ser de lectura obligada para quienes se dedican a la medicina y más aún para las nuevas generaciones que planean hacerlo, lo han convertido ya en un clásico de la reflexión sobre el destino de la medicina contemporánea.
