Book Description
Abortion, divorce, and the family: how did the state make policy decisions in these areas in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile during the last third of the twentieth century? As the three countries transitioned from democratic to authoritarian forms of government (and back), they confronted challenges posed by the rise of the feminist movement, social changes, and the power of the Catholic Church. The results were often surprising: women's rights were expanded under military dictatorships, divorce was legalized in authoritarian Brazil but not in democratic Chile, and no Latin American country changed its laws on abortion. Sex and the State explores these patterns of gender-related policy reform and shows how they mattered for the peoples of Latin America and for a broader understanding of the logic behind the state's role in shaping private lives and gender relations everywhere.

Book Description
This publication highlights numerous violations made on women who have undergone abortion in Chile, and examines the legal framework of Chile's abortion law, as well as the criminal procedure involved in these prosecutions. Chapter 1 describes the evolution of the protection of reproductive rights and how the prohibition constituted to violations on health-related and other human rights. Chapter 2 discusses Chilean health policy and abortion as the cause of public health problem. Chapter 3 provides analysis of domestic legislation and court records of women who were prosecuted for abortion, with discussions of actual individuals prosecuted for abortion. Chapter 4 summarizes the social and economic data on the women prosecuted for abortion, as well as on the abortion providers, which includes all women who had abortions, even those who were not prosecuted because they were minors or victims of abortion. Lastly, chapter 5 presents several recommendations at the national and international levels in the cessation of prosecution of women who have undergone abortion, with emphasis on the roles of international donors and the universal and regional human rights systems.

Book Description
Pensando en bendecir a cuantos tengan a bien leer lo que a continuación trato de expresar es que me he dado a la tarea de escribir unos cuantos renglones basados en experiencias recibidas en gran parte por medio de matrimonios a los que tanto un servidor como mi esposa hemos tenido el privilegio de poder aconsejar, aunque también incluyo algunas de nuestras propias experiencias en cuanto a lo que es la vida matrimonial con toda una gama de situaciones por las que el ser humano transita en su diario vivir; es por eso que he decidido dar titulo a esta humilde declaración y llamarla "Diario de una persona común".

Book Description
This is a valuable book.....It is a work of wide learning. It deals with a topic which, as the author states in his preface, has been much neglected in spite of the fact that biblical scholars and theologians have always paid lip service to the importance of law in Jewish life. It is a book which should be on the library shelf of every serious student of the New Testament. - Fr. Pius, O.F.M.C. Franciscan Friary, Crawley. J. Duncan M. Derrett was, until his retirement, Professor of Oriental Laws at the University of London. He has author works on legal history as well as 'Jesus's Audience', 'Studies in the New Testament' (6 vols.), 'The Sermon on the Mount', 'The Anastasis', and 'The Bible and the Buddhists'.
