Book Description
En este libro se recogen las contribuciones de una constelación de autores que, desde su práctica científica cotidiana, han dedicado importantes esfuerzos para señalar y advertir, tanto a sus colegas de profesión como al público en general, sobre la naturaleza social de la ciencia y la responsabilidad social del científico. El quehacer científico no es ideologicamente neutro, nunca lo ha sido y nunca lo será. En los conceptos científicos que se desarrollan y construyen históricamente está embutida una visión social particular y una ideología llena de preconceptos. El científico promedio tiende a ignorar las consecuencias del tipo particular de ciencia que desarrolla. Este libro pretende advertir sobre algunos de los peligros que se derivan de ello, así como promover acciones coherentes con dichas reflexiones.

Book Description
Art i ciència, que per a molta gent poden semblar dues activitats ben separades, han tingut i tenen molts punts en comú. Al llarg de la història, artistes i científics s’han proporcionat mútuament eines de treball, materials nous o motius d’inspiració. En aquesta obra, s’expliquen de manera amena i assequible temes com el descobriment de pigments nous gràcies a l’evolució de la química o les tècniques modernes que permeten conèixer molts detalls sobre obres pictòriques, estudiar estils i detectar fraus o datacions equivocades. A més a més, s’explora la visió del món que es desprèn de diverses obres a partir de la influència mútua entre l’art, d’una banda, i l’astronomia, la biologia, les matemàtiques o la física, de l’altra.

Book Description
Combining intellectual and social history, Teresita Martinez-Vergne explores the processes by which people in the Dominican Republic began to hammer out a common sense of purpose and a modern national identity at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Hoping to build a nation of hardworking, peaceful, voting citizens, the Dominican intelligentsia impressed on the rest of society a discourse of modernity based on secular education, private property, modern agricultural techniques, and an open political process. Black immigrants, bourgeois women, and working-class men and women in the capital city of Santo Domingo and in the booming sugar town of San Pedro de Macoris, however, formed their own surprisingly modern notions of citizenship in daily interactions with city officials. Martinez-Vergne shows just how difficult it was to reconcile the lived realities of people of color, women, and the working poor with elite notions of citizenship, entitlement, and identity. She concludes that the urban setting, rather than defusing the impact of race, class, and gender within a collective sense of belonging, as intellectuals had envisioned, instead contributed to keeping these distinctions intact, thus limiting what could be considered Dominican.

Adrián Ormache, a high-flying lawyer with a beautiful wife and two daughters, leads a privileged and glamorous life in one of Lima’s wealthiest neighbourhoods. But when his mother dies, he discovers a letter amongst her possessions making shocking claims about her now long-dead husband, Adrián’s father – a commander in the army during the Peruvian Civil War of the 1980s. As well as being linked to atrocities committed against the ‘Shining Path’ guerrillas, it appears that he also kidnapped and kept a local girl, whose family now seeks retribution. Shocked out of his comfortable existence, Adrián becomes obsessed with finding the girl at the heart of the mystery, and sets out to face the harrowing realities of Peru’s recent past, and uncover the truth about his father.
