Las cuatro vidas de Steve Jobs

By: Daniel Ichbiah

No existe un Steve Jobs, sino que debemos hablar de cuatro Jobs (el joven indeciso que no sabe qué hacer con su vida, el fundador de Apple, el hijo pródigo propietario de Pixar y su regreso triunfal a la marca de la manzana con el lanzamiento del iPod, el iPhone y el iPad). En todas sus vidas el éxito ha sido el denominador común, un éxito alcanzado gracias a un talento desmesurado, un carisma arrollador y una dedicación absoluta a la persecución de sus objetivos. Sin duda una obra de referencia sobre uno de los grandes genios de nuestra época.

Children in Street Situations

A Concept in Search of an Object

By: Riccardo Lucchini,Daniel Stoecklin

This book provides new insights on the lives of children in street situations by providing analyses from a qualitative perspective on the sociology of childhood. It proposes some insightful perspectives on the current discussion about the rights of children in street situations. It includes a unique selection of texts, which were initially published in French, written by the authors of this volume, on the lives of children in street situations in Latin America and China, that are now available to an English readership. It challenges obstacles, linked to macrosocial issues such as inequalities, images of the child, the separation of public/private spheres, urban dynamics and structural adjustments, as well as to microsocial dimensions such as identity, motivation, and activities that are constitutive of street situations. The book discusses the situations experienced by children, highlighting children’s reflexivity and strategies as social factors, and shedding new light on the debate “agency within structure”.

Decolonizing Ethnography

Undocumented Immigrants and New Directions in Social Science

By: Carolina Alonso Bejarano,Lucia López Juárez,Mirian A. Mijangos García,Daniel M. Goldstein

In August 2011, ethnographers Carolina Alonso Bejarano and Daniel M. Goldstein began a research project on undocumented immigration in the United States by volunteering at a center for migrant workers in New Jersey. Two years later, Lucia López Juárez and Mirian A. Mijangos García—two local immigrant workers from Latin America—joined Alonso Bejarano and Goldstein as research assistants and quickly became equal partners for whom ethnographic practice was inseparable from activism. In Decolonizing Ethnography the four coauthors offer a methodological and theoretical reassessment of social science research, showing how it can function as a vehicle for activism and as a tool for marginalized people to theorize their lives. Tacking between personal narratives, ethnographic field notes, an original bilingual play about workers' rights, and examinations of anthropology as a discipline, the coauthors show how the participation of Mijangos García and López Juárez transformed the project's activist and academic dimensions. In so doing, they offer a guide for those wishing to expand the potential of ethnography to serve as a means for social transformation and decolonization.

Todos mis padres - Saga completa

By: Daniel Arias

‘Todos mis padres’ es una saga que relata los amores de la esclava fugitiva Akukéiohn y el aventurero adolescente Rómulo Vilches. Akukéiohn y Rómulo son dos parias que intentan hacer una familia y criar un hijo en medio de la fiebre del oro de Tierra del Fuego, allá por 1886, en la Argentina. Todos mis padres es una novela repleta de otras novelas, algunas casi independientes. Los devenires de Akukéiohn, RómuloVilches y su hijo (y de todos los padres de ese hijo) desaparecen y reaparecen en la proliferación de historias de predicadores, guerreros, gauchos, oligarcas, revolucionarios, chamanes, hampones y médicos. La saga exige un lector que se someta a perderse en el laberinto, llevado a tumbos de la mano de un narrador experto, a cambio de la promesa de un final donde todas las piezas se reencuentren con una precisión de relojería. Esa esperanza, asombrosamente, se cumple. Lector, bienvenido a una maquinaria narrativa como ya no se hacen.

Science, Society and the Environment

Applying Anthropology and Physics to Sustainability

By: Michael R. Dove,Daniel M. Kammen

In an era when pressing environmental problems make collaboration across the divide between sciences and arts and humanities essential, this book presents the results of a collaborative analysis by an anthropologist and a physicist of four key junctures between science, society, and environment. The first focuses on the systemic bias in science in favour of studying esoteric subjects as distinct from the mundane subjects of everyday life; the second is a study of the fire-climax grasslands of Southeast Asia, especially those dominated by Imperata cylindrica (sword grass); the third reworks the idea of ‘moral economy’, applying it to relations between environment and society; and the fourth focuses on the evolution of the global discourse of the culpability and responsibility of climate change. The volume concludes with the insights of an interdisciplinary perspective for the natural and social science of sustainability. It argues that failures of conservation and development must be viewed systemically, and that mundane topics are no less complex than the more esoteric subjects of science. The book addresses a current blind spot within the academic research community to focusing attention on the seemingly common and mundane beliefs and practices that ultimately play the central role in the human interaction with the environment. This book will benefit students and scholars from a number of different academic disciplines, including conservation and environment studies, development studies, studies of global environmental change, anthropology, geography, sociology, politics, and science and technology studies.

The Cher Bible: 2018 Ultimate Edition

By: Daniel Wheway

She's been there and done everything, before any of us." – Christina Aguilera Cher started her career as a backing vocalist for Phil Spector's iconic Wall of Sound, before shooting to superstardom herself with the sixties anthem I Got You Babe. Cher mastered folk-rock, achieved three US #1's during the singer-songwriter era of the 1970's, whilst having a glittering television career. She made her mark on disco, Broadway and the 1980's hair metal scene and earned the highest acting honor available. Cher absolutely conquered the 1990's dance scene whilst in her 50's, and was given the Goddess Of Pop title in her 60's. Along the way, Cher has knocked The Beatles off #1, had five US Hot 100 hits simultaneously, appeared on the Live Aid stage, had US#1 movies with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, attended Madonna's wedding in a purple wig, called David Letterman an "asshole", inaugurated Disneyland, had the highest-grossing female tour of all-time, had hits in six decades and held Lady Gaga's meat purse. Rightfully coined the "Goddess of Pop", Cher has conquered music, film and television during her 50-year showbiz career, selling 100-million records, grossing $650-million on tour, drawing $700-million at the U.S. Box Office and winning Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. She is one-half of highly-successful duo Sonny & Cher, a multi-million-selling doll, multi-million-selling fitness icon, hit songwriter, enduring sex symbol, award-winning television producer, film director, video director, award-winning fashion icon, author, model, humanitarian, mother, daughter, and of course the idol of a highly diverse fan base. Cher topped the US Hot 100: before Barbra Streisand did; before Michael Jackson, Elton John, David Bowie and Rod Stewart were famous; and before Celine Dion and Mariah Carey were even born. She had solo hits before Tina Turner and Diana Ross did, and had reinvented herself multiple times (from folk-rock hippie, glamorous TV host, disco diva, rock chick to serious actress) before Madonna had even released her first single. Her music has been covered by a range of artists from Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder to Britney Spears. And she broke barriers in censorship and style to pave the way for generations of outlandish female starlets such as Cyndi Lauper, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga. "She's a bright and truly funny gal. It goes without saying she is talented and will be doing her thing for as long as she wants to." – Dionne Warwick

The Poetry and Music of Joaquín Sabina

An Angel with Black Wings

By: Daniel J. Nappo

The Poetry and Music of Joaquín Sabina: An Angel with Black Wings is a thoroughly researched exploration of the life, music, and song lyrics of the celebrated Spanish singer-songwriter Joaquín Sabina. Often called "the Spanish Dylan," Sabina has established his own highly poetic space over the course of his forty-plus years as a recording artist. Using selected song lyrics from his fifteen studio and three major live albums, Daniel J. Nappo analyzes Sabina's use of antithesis, simile, metaphor, synesthesia, rhyme, and other rhetorical and poetic devices. Nappo also devotes a chapter to Sabina's ability as a narrator and concludes the book with a comparison of Sabina's best work with that of the American singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan.

Imperio de Kovan

By: Daniel Igual Merlo

El emperador Mastuh ha muerto y deja un extenso imperio a su hija, Hansa. Esta es tan solo una niña y desde hace más de dos siglos no ha reinado una mujer en el imperio de Kovan. Al producirse la muerte del emperador, su hermano, Jonrrak, regresa de las conquistadas tierras de Cirimeria con la Legión Extranjera y da un golpe de estado en el imperio para derrocar a su sobrina y hacerse con el trono imperial. Un grupo de guardias logra salvar a la princesa y huir de la capital, Ciudad Baluarte. Sin embargo, la lucha se extiende por todo el imperio entre los partidarios de la princesa Hansa y los partidarios de Jonrrak. Las sacerdotisas del imperio, las célebres Korais, únicas capaces de utilizar magia en el imperio, también se posicionan a favor de uno u otro bando. El conflicto por el dominio de Kovan está servido. Es una lucha por el control de territorios y de ideologías. Sin embargo, también desde las fronteras exteriores del imperio acechan enemigos poderosos, dispuestos a destrozar al imperio. Daniel Igual Merlo. Nacido en Móstoles (Madrid) en 1987, es licenciado en Historia y Periodismo. Desde muy temprana edad su afición por la novela fantástica le llevó a escribir relatos de este género. Siempre busca en sus aventuras el nexo entre fantasía épica y el protagonismo colectivo de varios personajes cuyas historias se entrelazan en la trama principal. En ocasiones, sus relatos tienen un paralelismo con acontecimientos históricos. Tras su primera saga “Las aventuras de Alan Braw”, ahora en “Imperio de Kovan” nos muestra una historia épica en la que dos contendientes luchan por alcanzar el poder de un territorio existiendo en ambos bandos personajes inolvidables, tanto hombres como mujeres, que protagonizan toda la trama.

The Illusion of Conscious Will, New Edition

By: Daniel M. Wegner

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Illusion of Conscious Will, New Edition

By: Daniel M. Wegner

A new edition of Wegner's classic and controversial work, arguing that conscious will simply reminds of us the authorship of our actions. Do we consciously cause our actions, or do they happen to us? Philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, theologians, and lawyers have long debated the existence of free will versus determinism. With the publication of The Illusion of Conscious Will in 2002, Daniel Wegner proposed an innovative and provocative answer: the feeling of conscious will is created by the mind and brain; it helps us to appreciate and remember our authorship of the things our minds and bodies do. Yes, we feel that we consciously will our actions, Wegner says, but at the same time, our actions happen to us. Although conscious will is an illusion (“the most compelling illusion”), it serves as a guide to understanding ourselves and to developing a sense of responsibility and morality. Wegner was unable to undertake a second edition of the book before his death in 2013; this new edition adds a foreword by Wegner's friend, the prominent psychologist Daniel Gilbert, and an introduction by Wegner's colleague Thalia Wheatley. Approaching conscious will as a topic of psychological study, Wegner examines cases both when people feel that they are willing an act that they are not doing and when they are not willing an act that they in fact are doing in such phenomena as hypnosis, Ouija board spelling, and dissociative identity disorder. Wegner's argument was immediately controversial (called “unwarranted impertinence” by one scholar) but also compelling. Engagingly written, with wit and clarity, The Illusion of Conscious Will was, as Daniel Gilbert writes in the foreword to this edition, Wegner's “magnum opus.”

Acapulco Gold

By: Daniel West

Dimitri is a man on a mission; Caesar, the mastermind of a ruthless Mexican drug cartel, is holding Juanita, the love of his life, captive. Dimitri and his best friend Richard, a retired police officer, head to Mexico City to try to rescue Juanita from Caesar's grasp. To accomplish their rescue mission they recruit, Dan, an alcoholic writer, his son Daniel, a computer genius, an unforgettable group of severely washed up mercenaries, Gouvea, a rival drug lord, and Charles, a disillusioned district director who works for the US Justice Department in Mexico City. Sparks fly as Dimitri and friends butt heads with the Rodriguez cartel. Dimitri's group of misfits begin their misadventure by inciting a shootout that the newspapers infamously refer to as: "The Great Clown Masacree." They then create mayhem in other assorted twists and turns, which finally lead to a very unforgettable conclusion.

Beyond Literary Studies

A Counter-Theoretical Approach

By: Daniel Ferreras Savoye

This response to the current crisis in the field of literary studies describes the fundamental flaws of poststructuralist literary criticism, which has become a self-serving enterprise at the expense of scholarship at large and students in particular. Outlining an improved approach that meets the expectations of 21st-century students and teachers, the author proposes a new definition of the literary object of study which addresses the inconsistencies of the literary canon by including nontraditional narratives such as films, comic books and pop songs.

How Borges Wrote

How Borges Wrote

By: Daniel Balderston

A distinguished poet and essayist and one of the finest writers of short stories in world letters, Jorge Luis Borges deliberately and regularly altered his work by extensive revision. In this volume, renowned Borges scholar Daniel Balderston undertakes to piece together Borges's creative process through the marks he left on paper. Balderston has consulted over 170 manuscripts and primary documents to reconstruct the creative process by which Borges arrived at his final published texts. How Borges Wrote is organized around the stages of his writing process, from notes on his reading and brainstorming sessions to his compositional notebooks, revisions to various drafts, and even corrections in already-published works. The book includes hundreds of reproductions of Borges’s manuscripts, allowing the reader to see clearly how he revised and "thought" on paper. The manuscripts studied include many of Borges’s most celebrated stories and essays--"The Aleph," "Kafka and His Precursors," "The Cult of the Phoenix," "The Garden of Forking Paths," "Emma Zunz," and many others--as well as lesser known but important works such as his 1930 biography of the poet Evaristo Carriego. As the first and only attempt at a systematic and comprehensive study of the trajectory of Borges's creative process, this will become a definitive work for all scholars who wish to trace how Borges wrote.
