Book Description
Confirming his moniker as “America’s philosopher of democracy,” John Dewey engaged in a series of public debates over the course of his lifetime, vividly demonstrating how his thought translates into action. These debates made Dewey a household name and a renowned public intellectual during the early to mid-twentieth century, a time when the United States fought two World Wars, struggled through an economic depression, experienced explosive economic growth and spawned a grassroots movement that characterized an entire era: Progressivism. Unfortunately, much recent Dewey scholarship neglects to situate Dewey’s ideas in the broader context of his activities and engagements as a public intellectual. This project charts a path through two of Dewey’s actual debates with his contemporaries, Leon Trotsky and Robert Hutchins, to two reconstructed debates with contemporary intellectuals, E.D. Hirsch and Robert Talisse, both of whom criticized Dewey’s ideas long after the American philosopher’s death and, finally, to two recent debates, one on home schooling and the other on U.S. foreign policy, in which Dewey’s ideas offer a unique and compelling vision of a way forward.

Book Description
Cuando hablo de poderes ocultos no trato de decir poderes secretos, escondidos o privatizados de modo sectario, sino que me refiero concreta y precisamente a poderes o mejor dicho facultades naturales del ser humano que éste desconoce -o al menos así lo parece, si juzgamos por sus acciones habituales- debido a que están ocultos bajo una coraza impenetrable de ignorancia y, sobre todo, de mentiras y de falacias con las que ha sido estructurada la vida de las personas corrientes con la única finalidad -no se me ocurre otra, por más que reflexiono al respecto- de manipularlas y usar, abusar y aprovecharse de ellas en todos los sentidos y a todos los niveles.

Book Description
Oculto sendero, novela inédita y testamento literario de Elena Fortún (1885-1952), por fin sale a la luz. Fortún escribe esta autobiografía novelada durante su exilio en Argentina y la firma con el seudónimo de Rosa María Castaños. La protagonista es María Luisa Arroyo, pintora y antes niña que quería vestirse de marinero, alter-ego de la autora. El camino de su vida es el sendero hacia el entendimiento de su homosexualidad, camino que avanza parejo al conocimiento y realización del potencial artístico e intelectual de la protagonista. Tras una infancia narrada al más puro estilo Fortún, María Luisa Arroyo irá dejando atrás, como la creadora de la inolvidable Celia, los dictados de la feminidad convencional para adentrarse en una modernidad inevitable y también desgarradora. Ambientada en la España anterior a 1936, Oculto sendero ofrece un retrato único y necesario de la intimidad y la lucha de una mujer excepcional.

Book Description
The sales contact has served as the paradigm for contracts in general. Moreover, it is also probably the most common contract, and certainly the most common consumer contract that there is. Furthermore, there are many mixed transactions that contain a certain element of sale, such as distribution contracts or all sorts or manufacturing contracts. This book presents the rules regarding sales contracts under European law. The principles examined here start from the idea of a uniform regime for all kind of sales transactions. Moreover, these principles aim to meet the needs of international and national commerce alike and attempt to create a truly uniform sales law, bridging the differentiation into different settings, different parties to the contract, and different object of sales. However, when deemed necessary, certain provisions are declared mandatory in consumer sales in order to protect the weaker party in the transaction involved. To that end, a balance is struck between the two major international instruments in this area, the CISG (Contracts for the International Sale of Goods) and the Consumer Sales Directive. Moreover, during the drafting process, comparative material from over 20 different EU Member States has been taken into account. The work is not only a presentation of a future model for European rules to come, but also provides a fairly detailed indication of the present legal situation in the Member States.

Book Description
"Eu te conhecia só de ouvir falar, mas agora meus olhos te veem" Jó 42:5 Saudações, me chamo Dario Oliveira, um baiano da região do Recôncavo. Essa é a história de quando, após aceitar a Jesus, não guardei a minha fé, e quase perdi minha coroa. Como a maioria dos jovens nascidos na igreja, me via como um crente desde que me entendia por gente. Até me aproximar de Deus, e me dá conta de como me encontrava longe. Nesta biografia, narro os eventos que se sucederam desde que fui acometido de um vírus maligno de dúvidas espirituais, na forma de pensamentos intrusivos e sufocantes. Dúvidas tão perturbadoras, a ponto de me conduzirem a um quadro agudo de incredulidade sem precedentes, me levando quase a abandonar o evangelho. Neste livro, também busco conscientizar o público cristão, da importância de se estreitar os laços com Deus, através do recebimento de uma das mais importantes promessas de Jesus: o batismo no Espírito Santo. Eu era um crente novato, ingénuo, não sabia que havia falsos pastores e falsos profetas em nosso meio. Ou que os homens podiam mentir e enganar no púlpito. Por estar numa igreja fundamentalista e exclusivista, que menosprezava o conhecimento bíblico e que utilizava os dons espirituais apenas em função das bênçãos materiais, eu desconhecia o fato de que, no fim dos tempos, espíritos malignos atuariam no mundo, no sentido de promover a incredulidade nos corações dos homens e lhes afastar do Verdadeiro Evangelho. E, através do meu testemunho, procuro provar que, além do importante papel da pessoa do Espírito de Deus em garantir nossa Salvação, a evidência de sua presença, o batismo no Espírito Santo, pode ser o divisor de águas na vida daqueles que não mais possuem esperanças de se soerguer espiritualmente.

Book Description
In post-Franco Spain, a re-shaping of notions of the masculine has been under way for some time. The authors of "Live Flesh" demonstrate how contemporary Spanish films, during this modern period, have contributed to this process. They do so by visualizing the ways in which Spanish men have been abandoning old self images and adopting new ones, and they explain and explore the complexity and diversity of these fresh cinematic creations of masculine identities. The book's point of focus is Spanish films of the democratic period, both popular and auteur, made by directors of national and international prominence, such as Pedro Almodovar, Alejandro Amenabar, Bigas Luna or Julio Medem, as well as films featuring acclaimed actors who have contributed to the construction of contemporary ideas of the masculine in their country, including Antonio Banderas and Javier Bardem. Using a fresh theoretical framework, embracing queer and feminist theory and concepts of nation, race and class, each chapter examines key films that represent the male body, highlighting notable elements - young, muscular, homosexual, (dis)abled, foreign and so on - and goes on to focus on recent case studies from the early 1990s to the present. An increasingly transnational Spanish cinema is a most promising field in which to explore questions of how male bodies are represented - and mediated - in film. "Live Flesh" more than fulfils this promise and goes further, to reveal how these representations have intervened in the Spanish cultural imagination.

Book Description
Madrid in the eighties, and Barcelona ten years later. In these two vibrant locales, Castaways follows the relationship between Alejandra and Julio against the backdrop of these poetic urban spaces where dreams, love, and uncertainty intertwine. Drawn to one another but constantly pushed or pulled in different directions by work, family, and life, Alejandra and Julio circle in and out of each other's lives, while first denying and then coming to accept the fact that by the time they are ready to love one another, the chance has already passed. Intensely emotive and poignant, this stunning graphic novel from Laura Pérez and Pablo Monforte depicts themes of maturity, responsibility, and human connection. Available in English for the first time with translation by Silvia Perea Labayen.
