Book Description
La salud es, probablemente, una de las temáticas de mayor sensibilización social en el momento actual. La preocupación por la misma se debe al aumento incesante de enfermedades hipocinéticas, derivadas de un estilo de vida donde predomina el sedentarismo, el estrés, la alimentación inadecuada, el consumo de tabaco, alcohol, medicamentos y otras drogas, etc. Todas estas circunstancias pueden ser modificables o prevenidas con una correcta educación para la salud, fundamentalmente desde la infancia y adolescencia, por ser éstas las edades más significativas en cuanto a la adquisición de hábitos de vida relacionados con la salud. No hay lugar a la duda en cuanto a los numerosos efectos positivos del ejercicio físico moderado y controlado para la mejora de la calidad de vida, verdadera preocupación social y sanitaria. Además, debido al evento deportivo que se nos aproxima en nuestro contexto (Juegos Mediterráneos Almería 2005), es sumamente importante conocer los hábitos deportivos y el estilo de vida de toda la juventud de nuestra ciudad, con vistas a desarrollar campañas de formación, educación y concienciación ciudadana con respecto a la promoción del deporte para todos y a la utilización de la actividad físicodeportiva como una fuente de diversión y catarsis en el tiempo libre de los jóvenes almerienses. Por todo ello, creemos de máxima importancia el conocimiento de los resultados de esta investigación por parte de las instituciones y de la sociedad almeriense.

Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Book Description
In this influential 1925 essay, presented here in Spanish and English, José Vasconcelos predicted the coming of a new age, the Aesthetic Era, in which joy, love, fantasy, and creativity would prevail over the rationalism he saw as dominating the present age. In this new age, marriages would no longer be dictated by necessity or convenience, but by love and beauty; ethnic obstacles, already in the process of being broken down, especially in Latin America, would disappear altogether, giving birth to a fully mixed race, a "cosmic race," in which all the better qualities of each race would persist by the natural selection of love.

Book Description
This ground-breaking book is the first to describe in detail how teachers, supported by university educators and education advisers, might plan and implement innovative ideas based on sound theoretical foundations. Focusing on the teaching and learning of intercultural communicative competence in foreign language classrooms in the USA, the authors describe a collaborative project in which graduate students and teachers planned, implemented and reported on units which integrated intercultural competence in a systematic way in classrooms ranging from elementary to university level. The authors are clear and honest about what worked and what didn’t, both in their classrooms and during the process of collaboration. This book will be required reading for both scholars and teachers interested in applying academic theory in the classroom, and in the teaching of intercultural competence.

Book Description
Partiendo del personaje de Laocoonte, devorado por la violencia desatada entre dos ciudades helénicas, la muestra, además de incluir la serie de "Los desastres de la guerra", de Goya, reúne a más de treinta artistas, nacionales e internacionales, comprometidos con su tiempo, cuya mirada nos enfrenta a situaciones y sentimientos que brotan de la sinrazón, del miedo, de la amenaza, situaciones que proceden de la política, esto es, de la instancia pública que debería ser garante de la paz, la libertad de actuación y pensamiento, y la concordia, y que, si bien han existido en todas las épocas, alcanzan en nuestro tiempo unas cotas inimaginables de impunidad -irresponsabilidad- y amplitud -genocidio.

Book Description
The contributors to this volume have collaborated to present their work on introducing competences in intercultural communication and citizenship into foreign language education. The book examines how learners and teachers think about citizenship and interculturality, and shows how teachers and researchers from primary to university education can work together across continents to develop new curricula and pedagogy. This involves the creation of a new theory of intercultural citizenship and a procedure for implementation. The book is written by teacher researchers who aim to help other teachers, and concludes with reflections on the lessons they have learnt which will help others to implement these ideas in their own practice. The book is essential reading for foreign language educators and researchers, students in pre-service teacher training and teachers in in-service training.

Book Description
Language acquisition is a human endeavor par excellence. As children, all human beings learn to understand and speak at least one language: their mother tongue. It is a process that seems to take place without any obvious effort. Second language learning, particularly among adults, causes more difficulty. The purpose of this series is to compile a collection of high-quality monographs on language acquisition. The series serves the needs of everyone who wants to know more about the problem of language acquisition in general and/or about language acquisition in specific contexts.

Book Description
The origins of learner corpus research go back to the late 1980s when large electronic collections of written or spoken data started to be collected from foreign/second language learners, with a view to advancing our understanding of the mechanisms of second language acquisition and developing tailor-made pedagogical tools. Engaging with the interdisciplinary nature of this fast-growing field, The Cambridge Handbook of Learner Corpus Research explores the diverse and extensive applications of learner corpora, with 27 chapters written by internationally renowned experts. This comprehensive work is a vital resource for students, teachers and researchers, offering fresh perspectives and a unique overview of the field. With representative studies in each chapter which provide an essential guide on how to conduct learner corpus research in a wide range of areas, this work is a cutting-edge account of learner corpus collection, annotation, methodology, theory, analysis and applications.
