Description
The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers.
Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions...

Del análisis de una serie de definiciones académicas de la pobreza, surge un rasgo común a todas: la falta total o ausencia relativa de activos sociales, que derivan en limitaciones concretas a las posibilidades de vida digna. Sin embargo, la conceptualización no ha logrado desestructurar este fenómeno.
Para algunos, la pobreza se resuelve con igualdad de oportunidades. Pero no puede haber igualdad de oportunidades sin igualdad de capacidades,...

12) A Way of Being
Author
Description
A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More personal and philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development and ends with a person-centered prophecy, in which he predicts a future changing in the direction of more humaneness. Now, fifteen years later, the psychiatrist and best-selling author Dr. Irvin Yalom...

From police on the street, to the mayor of New Orleans and FEMA administrators, government officials monumentally failed to protect the most vulnerable residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast during the Katrina disaster. This violation of the social contract undermined the foundational narratives and myths of the American nation and spawned a profound, often contentious public debate over the meaning of Katrina's devastation. A wide range of voices...

Description
Changing the Course of AIDS is an in-depth evaluation of a new and exciting way to create the kind of much-needed behavioral change that could affect the course of the global health crisis of HIV/AIDS.

Todo museo comercia con el pasado y la memoria, y en esa conservación y reunión de objetos -siempre se ha dicho- descansa su ficción fundadora: uno al lado del otro y todos juntos, cada objeto cuenta de por sí una historia, pero asiste, a su vez, al significado colectivo de una historia mayor. La reunión de elementos heterogéneos se vuelve, en un museo, una representación al tiempo que una explicación de una cierta porción del mundo. Los...
