...Considerar la educación emprendedora como un enfoque, no como una simple competencia con mayor o menor dominio, supone reconocer que los perfiles humanos no conforman una llanura, tienen relieve. De modo que, hemos de integrar a cada persona en el proceso formación humana, eludiendo cualquier exclusión, e impulsarla a su plenitud. Este despliegue estará disminuido si no se desarrolla su capacidad de iniciativa. En este sentido, el profesorado puede cumplir una función capital. Los docentes pueden alumbrar el entendimiento, para Heráclito el fin de la educación y no el aprendizaje, que era únicamente un medio para alcanzarlo. La pertinencia del contenido de este libro no requiere, por tanto, mayor justificación...
Año 717. Al-Hurr, el nuevo gobernador de al-Ándalus, se dispone a aniquilar los últimos focos de resistencia del reino visigodo. La conquista musulmana está a punto de consumarse bajo la despiadada tutela de Opas, el obispo metropolitano de Toledo, y los principales linajes hispanogodos deben enviar rehenes a Corduba. Fruela, hijo de Pedro, el duque de Cantabria, acude a la capital de al-Ándalus para garantizar la lealtad de su gente. Sin embargo, su verdadero propósito será encontrarse con Pelayo, un noble astur, antiguo espatario del rey Rodrigo, para entregarle una carta que desencadenará una rebelión en las montañas del norte. Al mismo tiempo, al otro lado del Mediterráneo, el Imperio bizantino lucha por su supervivencia. Los sarracenos han reunido el mayor ejército desde que Jerjes cruzó el Helesponto para invadir Grecia doce siglos atrás. Mil ochocientas naves de guerra y ciento veinte mil muqātila avanzan, como una marea de fuego, hacia Constantinopla, y nada parece detenerlos... Yeyo Balbás nos sumerge en una trepidante narración ambientada en un momento crucial de la Historia, en el que solo el valor y la tenacidad de unos pocos consiguieron frenar a un...
In this provocative examination of collective identity in Jordan, Linda Layne challenges long-held Western assumptions that Arabs belong to easily recognizable corporate social groups. Who is a "true" Jordanian? Who is a "true" Bedouin? These questions, according to Layne, are examples of a kind of pigeonholing that has distorted the reality of Jordanian national politics. In developing an alternate approach, she shows that the fluid social identities of Jordan emerge from an ongoing dialogue among tribespeople, members of the intelligentsia Hashemite rulers, and Western social scientists. Many commentators on social identity in the Middle East limit their studies to the village level, but Layne's goal is to discover how the identity-building processes of the locality and of the nation condition each other. She finds that the tribes creates their own cultural "homes" through a dialogue with official nationalist rhetoric and Jordanian urbanites, while King Hussein, in turn, maintains the idea of the "homeland" in many ways that are powerfully influenced by the tribespeople. The identities so formed resemble the shifting, irregular shapes of postmodernist landscapes—but Hussein...
Este trabajo presenta diferentes perspectivas y marcos teóricos e interpretaciones de lo que es la educación social. El libro aparece estructurado en tres partes: la primera, la introducción, nos presenta un análisis de los procesos de cambio social así como las transformaciones que definen una nueva realidad. La segunda parte se refiere a la animación sociocultural, la educación de adultos y los nuevos espacios profesionales. La tercera parte se centra en lo que se viene denominando educación especializada. En esta parte también aparecen nuevos espacios en los que el educador social podría desempeñar su trabajo: la mediación intercultural, los agentes de igualdad y los técnicos en ecodesarrollo, por ejemplo.
Set during 1942-45 White’s Corner tells of a generation of youths, many of whose hopes and dreams were shattered by the War. Brenda, originally from Belfast, marries a Cardiff born sea-going deck officer, and settles in Hebburn, North East England, where they buy the very old South Eastern Hotel (Souie) in 1932. The Souie’s story is told, along with that of the factory the book takes its name from. The March 1944 National Apprentices’ Strike is covered (a serious action with a War on) which created schisms between apprentices that lasted until death in some cases. White’s Corner has many interesting characters, including the Kelly family – consisting of eight siblings, four of whom are White’s Marine Engineering Co apprentices. The sequel follows the lives of these characters after the War. The reader will laugh out loud at the accounts of apprenticeship escapades, and be moved by the many situations that arise. Every human emotion occurs within its tales.
The book Insecticides in Pest Control – Impact, Challenges and Strategies has been prepared to explore insecticides of different chemical nature, delineating their characteristic features, use in agriculture and public health, benefits, and drawbacks. The impact of insecticides on target insect pests with the goal of maintaining their populations below threshold limits through sustainable approaches has been deliberated upon. The book comprises 17 chapters grouped into four sections, each of which covers a significant aspect of pest control using diverse insecticides. These chapters emphasize the role of insecticides in pest management, describing their modes of entry and diverse mechanisms of action at physical, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels. The book also highlights the challenges and limitations in the use of these insecticides by focusing upon associated complications such as the development of resistance in target pests and detrimental effects on human health, nontarget organisms, and the environment. Pest management strategies using integrated control methods, synergies, biorational formulations derived from natural sources, bacteria, or plants, and...
Insects are a group of animals that contribute significantly to the proper functioning of different ecosystems on the planet. They provide services such as pollinating crops, recycling nutrients and controlling pests. Many scientific publications and reports have studied the current global decline of insects. This decline can severely affect other groups of animals including birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and small mammals that utilize insects as a source of food. This will have a great impact on the trophic cascade and an eventual adverse effect on the overall ecosystem. This book provides insights into the possible reasons behind the decline of insects as well as potential measures that might mitigate this decline. It contains eleven chapters written by different experts. The book is useful for a wide range of readers including entomologists, ecologists, botanists, environmentalists, and amateurs who love collecting and preserving insects.
This book examines Nile water security through the morphology of the river: it uses the always changing form of the river as a theoretical and empirical device to map and understand how infrastructures and discourses dynamically interact with the Nile. By bringing a history of two centuries of dam development on the Nile in relation with the drainage of a hill slope in Ethiopia on the one hand and irrigation reform in Sudan on the other, the author shows how the scales, units and ‘populations’ figuring in projects to securitize the river emerge through the rearrangement of its water and sediments. The analysis of ‘Making water security’ is more than yet another story of how modern projects of water security have legitimized often violent dispossessions of Nile land and water. It shows how no water user is confined by the roles assigned by project engineers and planners. As ongoing modern ‘development’ of the river reduces the prospects for new large diversions of water, the targeted subjects of development and modernization make use of newly opened spaces to carve out their own projects. They creatively mobilize old irrigation and drainage infrastructures in ways that...
This book discusses different approaches for successful pest-management through biotechnological interventions. Pest management is directly associated with the agricultural productivity. The book introduces the reader to various kinds of biopesticides that have been developed and are being developed for field application. Chemical pesticides have been widely used to control pests, and these induce pesticide resistance as well as other environmental problems. This book discusses the necessity to develop alternate pest control strategies, especially environment-friendly and target-specific biopesticides against destructive pests. The book describes important aspects such as microbial biopesticides, plant-based biopesticides, natural products that act against pests and the various other biotechnological advances and limitations of these biopesticides. It provides an in-depth knowledge of the latest research and development in the area of biopesticides. This informative book is meant for students and researchers in the fields of biotechnology, agriculture and applied microbiology.

This volume of the "Documentary History of the Jews in Italy" is the ninth of the second series, illustrating the history of the Jews in Sicily based on notarial and court records. It is the sequel to the eight volumes of the first series. Notarial deeds drawn up by public notaries in Palermo and elsewhere and cases brought before the Pretorian Court in Palermo present a kaleidoscopic picture of the private lives of the Jews of Sicily during the last three centuries of their presence on the island. They illustrate the economic, social and religious history of the Jewish minority and the relations with the Christian majority. Much information is provided on trade and commerce, crafts and professions, religious and family life. Some light is thrown also on the internal life of the communities, particularly the larger ones, including organization and institutions, the synagogue, education, customs and traditions. Although the surviving legal deeds present only a fraction of the total drawn up in those years, they are copious and abundant. Over 30,000 documents of this group were selected for publication, most appearing here for the first time. While some documents are discussed at...
A best seller when first published in Germany in 2003, Jens Malte Fischer's "Gustav Mahler" has been lauded by scholars as a landmark work. He draws on important primary resources--some unavailable to previous biographers--and sets in narrative context the extensive correspondence between Mahler and his wife, Alma; Alma Mahler's diaries; and the memoirs of Natalie Bauer-Lechner, a viola player and close friend of Mahler, whose private journals provide insight into the composer's personal and professional lives and his creative process.Fischer explores Mahler's early life, his relationship to literature, his achievements as a conductor in Vienna and New York, his unhappy marriage, and his work with the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic in his later years. He also illustrates why Mahler is a prime example of artistic idealism worn down by Austrian anti-Semitism and American commercialism. "Gustav Mahler" is the best-sourced and most balanced biography available about the composer, a nuanced and intriguing portrait of his dramatic life set against the backdrop of early 20th century America and fin de siecle Europe.
Industrial crops offer farmers new market opportunities to increase their revenue by producing high-value products, focusing on fiber, forest, and energy crops, industrial oilseeds, rubber and resins, pharmaceuticals, and more. Technological innovations in agriculture have facilitated higher yields, but conserving crop genetic resources and diversity remains crucial for sustainable agricultural production. This poses a challenge that can be addressed through modern tools of biotechnology and genomics, utilizing the wealth of sequenced plant genomes. This book addresses the need for knowledge in managing the risks and conservation of genetic diversity associated with advanced technology. It provides comprehensive coverage of plant genomics and biotechnology, catering to post-graduate students, researchers, employees of seed and biotechnology companies, as well as instructors in plant genetics, breeding, and biotechnology fields.
Geometrical notions and methods play an important role in both classical and quantum field theory, and a connection is a deep structure which apparently underlies the gauge-theoretical models in field theory and mechanics. This book is an encyclopaedia of modern geometric methods in theoretical physics. It collects together the basic mathematical facts about various types of connections, and provides a detailed exposition of relevant physical applications. It discusses the modern issues concerning the gauge theories of fundamental fields. The authors have tried to give all the necessary mathematical background, thus making the book self-contained.This book should be useful to graduate students, physicists and mathematicians who are interested in the issue of deep interrelations between theoretical physics and geometry.
