Book Description
Modernism in Havana reached its climax during the turbulent years of the 1950s as a generation of artists took up abstraction as a means to advance artistic and political goals in the name of Cuba Libre. During a decade of insurrection and, ultimately, revolution, abstract art signaled the country’s cultural worldliness and its purchase within the international avant-garde. This pioneering book offers the first in-depth examination of Cuban art during that time, following the intersecting trajectories of the artist groups Los Once and Los Diez against a dramatic backdrop of modernization and armed rebellion. Abigail McEwen explores the activities of a constellation of artists and writers invested in the ideological promises of abstraction, and reflects on art’s capacity to effect radical social change. Featuring previously unpublished artworks, new archival research, and extensive primary sources, this remarkable volume excavates a rich cultural history with links to the development of abstraction in Europe and the Americas.

Book Description
Ensayo que trata de la época de la ilustración y el fluir de ideas entre Europa y América que antecedieron a la independencia de México, haciendo énfasis en el papel que desempeñó el pensador mexicano José Antonio Alzate y Ramírez y la vigencia que tiene en nuestros días su pensamiento vanguardista que alcanzó reconocimiento mundial, basándose en el aprovechamiento de los recursos propios y en la fe ciega de la capacidad de los propios mexicanos de poder estar a la par que cualquier académico a nivel mundial. Al final de la obra se analiza la aplicabilidad actual del pensamiento de Alzate en nuestro país.

Book Description
El querer Cuidar el Medio Ambiente, es el poder cambiar a mejores condiciones de Calidad de Vida. Las personas de este planeta, comprenden que la Buena Calidad es realizar una actividad, lo mejor posible, aún en actividades que se creen simples como, barrer, cocinar, lubricar una pieza de la máquina, etc. Porque yo creo que la Buena Calidad está en todo lo que hacemos. Por eso considero que la Calidad empieza por las personas o por uno mismo, realizando un trabajo correctamente en materiales, tiempo y con un método estandarizado y que lo que se requiere para trabajar con Calidad es, QUERER HACERLO, claro que también es necesario Saber cómo hacerlo y para eso se requiere de la capacitación y se necesita Poder trabajar o sea tener las habilidades físicas y mentales para realizar una tarea determinada. No creo en lo que dicen muchas personas de que "ya no hay valores", sino que considero que los valores allí están, existen bajo todos los cielos estrellados, porque son Universales, y que somos nosotros los seres humanos los que no damos la talla, y no me curo en salud, porque los valores no se aprenden, podemos obtener las máximas calificaciones en asignaturas de Ética, pero ser malos ejemplos para otras personas, en nuestras acciones morales y nos verán como deshonestos, viciosos, mentirosos, etc. Porque los Valores no se enseñan ni se aprenden, sino que se viven. Ese es el propósito de este libro, concientizar mediante la cultura el Cuidado del Medio Ambiente en base a la Ética y los Valores.
