Book excerpt: Para el padre James Martin, SJ los Santos ¡son mucho más que estatuas de yeso, son amigos personales! En Mi vida con los Santos James Martin nos presenta una conmovedora experiencia respect a su relación con los Santos –desde María, la madre de Jesús, hasta San Francisco o la Madre Teresa− y la manera personal en la que ha side dirigido por los heroes de la Iglesia a lo largo de toda su vida. El padre James nos presenta vívidos y encantadores relatos de los Santos más populares, permitiéndonos ver no solo su santidad, sino su humanidad. A partir de esta experiencia descubrimos la llamada y posibilidad de vivir la santidad en nuestra propia humanidad. James Martin has led an entirely modern life: from a lukewarm Catholic childhood, to an education at the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to ministry as a Jesuit priest, to a busy media career in Manhattan. But at every step he has been accompanied by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. For many, these holy men and women remain just historical figures. For Martin, they are intimate companions. “They pray for me, offer me comfort, give me examples of discipleship, and help me along the way,” he writes. The author is both engaging and specific about the help and companionship he has received. When his pride proves troublesome, he seeks help from Thomas Merton, the monk and writer who struggled with egotism. In sickness he turns to Thérèse of Lisieux, who knew about the boredom and self-pity that come with illness. Joan of Arc shores up his flagging courage. Aloysius Gonzaga deepens his compassion. Pope John XXIII helps him to laugh and not take life too seriously. Martin’s inspiring, witty, and always fascinating memoir encompasses saints from the whole of Christian history— from St. Peter to Dorothy Day. His saintly friends include Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Mother Teresa, and other beloved figures. They accompany the author on a lifelong pilgrimage that includes stops in a sunlit square of a French town, a quiet retreat house on a New England beach, the gritty housing projects of inner-city Chicago, the sprawling slums of Nairobi, and a gorgeous Baroque church in Rome. This rich, vibrant, stirring narrative shows how the saints can help all of us find our way in the world.
Download or read book Environmental Justice and Urban Resilience in the Global South written by Adriana Allen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a fresh perspective on the important yet often neglected relationship between environmental justice and urban resilience. Many scholars have argued that resilient cities are more just cities. But what if the process of increasing the resilience of the city as a whole happens at the expense of the rights of certain groups? If urban resilience focuses on the degree to which cities are able to reorganise in creative ways and adapt to shocks, do pervasive inequalities in access to environmental services have an effect on this ability? This book brings together an interdisciplinary and intergeneration group of scholars to examine the contradictions and tensions that develop as they play out in cities of the Global South through a series of empirically grounded case studies spanning cities of Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.
Download or read book La Palabra de Dios desde Mi Coraz n a Mis Labios written by Rvdo. Canice C. Njoku C.S.Sp and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es una breve reflexión sobre las lecturas de los domingos y las solemnidades del calendario litíorgico de las iglesias, año A. Con el fin de no hacerlo sólo "una mera homilía semanal," sino un libro completo para todos los tiempos, el enfoque temático se ha empleado para cada homilía. Sin embargo, estos temas no son exhaustivos. Más bien, simplemente están destinados a ayudarnos a tener una idea de lo que podría ser el mensaje central de cada celebración. Se han empleado breves historias, otros pasajes bíblicos, citas, refranes populares e incluso experiencias de vida personal para hacer el mensaje más claro y comprensible para todos. Sobre todo, he tratado de mantenerlo corto y simple. Sin embargo, se ha tenido mucho cuidado al hacer esto teniendo en cuenta las reglas de una buena interpretación bíblica, sin menospreciar el significado y el mensaje de las lecturas individuales. Por lo tanto, este libro sigue el enfoque de catequesis y exegético. Algunos comentarios de unos lectores desde: https://wordpress.com/coments/all/frcanice.com Padre, tus reflexiones son breves, inspiradoras y desafiantes. Sigues ayudándonos. - P.

Download or read book Regime Support Beyond the Balance Sheet written by Matthew Rhodes-Purdy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the conventional wisdom that policy performance is the most important determinant of regime support. It does so by focusing on two countries where performance and support do not match. Chile is the economic envy of every country in Latin America, yet support has been surprisingly anemic. By contrast, Venezuela managed to maintain extremely high levels of support during the reign of Hugo Chávez despite severe failures of governance. Resolution of these paradoxes requires turning away from policy decisions and focusing instead on how those decisions are made. Taking inspiration from democratic theory and social psychology, this book argues that extensive opportunities for direct participation in the political process engenders in citizens strong feelings of efficacy - a sense of control over the course of politics. Rhodes-Purdy uses a mixed-methods approach to test this theory, including qualitative case studies, analysis of survey data, and experimental methods.

Download or read book Crisis and Contradiction written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late-1990s much of Latin America has experienced an uneven and contradictory turn to the Left in the electoral arena. At the same time, there has been a rejuvenation of Marxist critiques of political economy. Drawing on the expertise of Latin American, North American, and European scholars, this volume offers cutting-edge theoretical explorations of trends in the region, as well as in-depth case studies of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Venezuela. Essays in the volume focus on changes to class formation in Latin America and offer new insights into the state-form, exploring the complex relationship between state and market in contexts of late capitalist development, particularly in countries endowed with incredible natural resource wealth. Contributors are: Dario Azzellini, Emilia Castorina, Mariano Féliz, Juan Grigera, Nicolas Grinberg, Gabriel Hetland, Claudio Katz, Thomas Purcell, Ben Selwyn, Susan J. Spronk, Guido Starosta, Leandro Vergara-Camus, and Jeffery R. Webber.

Download or read book Ayer written by Emar Juan and published by Ediciones GATOPARDO SLU. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En San Agustín de Tango el peligro, el delirio o la Verdad acechan a la vuelta de la esquina. A lo largo del día —el día de ayer— que abarca esta novela, el protagonista y su querida esposa asisten a la decapitación de un hombre por predicar los placeres intelectuales del sexo, se unen al canto celestial de un coro de cinocéfalos, presencian la ingesta de un león por parte de un avestruz, visitan el taller de un artista obsesionado con el color verde y se embarcan en un sinfín de disquisiciones filosóficas. Todo ello conforma un prodigioso peregrinaje urbano, una vuelta al día en pos de una revelación que se insinúa y nunca acaba de llegar. Porque en la literatura cuántica de Juan Emar el tiempo y el espacio van siempre un paso por delante del sujeto que los observa. Ayer, publicada originalmente en Chile en 1935, y que en esta edición viene acompañada de un prólogo de Alejandro Zambra, es una de las novelas más singulares escritas en español en el siglo xx, un derroche de humor e inteligencia en el que el espíritu vanguardista se alía felizmente con una irrefrenable pulsión narrativa para dar cuenta del absurdo metafísico y cotidiano de la existencia.
Download or read book Buen Vivir and the Challenges to Capitalism in Latin America written by Henry Veltmeyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the battleground between neoliberal capitalist development processes in Latin America and the challenges to these systems that can be found through innovative community-driven buen vivir/vivir bien initiatives. In the current climate of worldwide capitalist development, Latin America is caught between left-leaning proposals for progressive policies towards a more inclusive form of development, and the re-emergence of harsh austerity measures, neoliberal reforms and right-wing populism. Divided into two parts, this book first provides a retrospective analysis of the advance of resource-seeking ‘extractive’ capital across the continent since the 1990s. The second part goes on to focus on forward-looking challenges to neoliberal capitalist development, focusing in particular on the indigenous notion of buen vivir/vivir bien – the concept of ‘living well’ in social solidarity and harmony with nature. Drawing on cases in Mexico and Venezuela, the book argues that it will be through these new approaches to social change that we will move beyond development as we know it towards a more inclusive form of ‘postdevelopment’. Looking hopefully towards this future of development, this collection offers an essential analysis of the vortex of social change currently consuming Latin America and will be key reading for advanced scholars and researchers in the fields of Development Studies, Latin America Studies, Politics, and Social Change.

Download or read book Enciclopedia Akal de Emblemas Espa oles Ilustrados written by Antonio Bernat Vistarini and published by Ediciones AKAL. This book was released on 1999-05-27 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra contiene, extractados, todos los libros de emblemas que se publicaron en español durante los siglos XVI y XVII. Se trata de un material de difícil acceso que de este modo se pone a disposición del lector, ya sea investigador o mero aficionado a la riquísima cultura simbólica cifrada en el género de la literatura emblemática. El libro se presenta en primera instancia como índice alfabético de los motivos iconográficos principales presentes en cada emblema. Pero, además, se podrá acceder a los emblemas mediante búsquedas realizadas a partir de los índices complementarios: de autores, lemas, fuentes y claves temáticas, aparte de los motivos iconográficos secundarios. Completa el volumen un glosario terminológico y de personajes que ayuda a la comprensión de los significados. El desarrollo de los estudios de emblemática en el ámbito internacional (existe una extensa Society for Emblem Studies) ha hecho aconsejable introducir traducción al inglés de los campos de información más relevantes. Y las ventajas que proporcionan las nuevas tecnologías han sido aprovechadas con la incorporación de un CD-ROM (ejecutable por igual en los sistemas Macintosh y PC) que agiliza la combinación de búsquedas complejas. Tanto el CD-ROM como el libro reproducen los grabados de los 1.732 emblemas estudiados.
