July 2006Die Tablas von Daimiel
Ein Umwegzeugenbericht zum Prozeß gegen Slobodan Miloševic
by Peter Handke
Seine Beziehung zu Serbien und Slobodan Miloševic brachte Peter Handke nicht nur viel Kritik, sondern oft auch undifferenzierte Diffamierungen ein. In Paris wurde eines seiner Theaterstücke vom Spielplan genommen, die Stadt Düsseldorf verweigerte ihm den zuerkannten Heinrich Heine-Preis 2006 - höchste Zeit nun, seine Sichtweise kennenzulernen. In "Die Tablas von Daimiel" erzählt Peter Handke, warum und in welcher Form er zum Zeugen der Kriege auf dem Balkan wurde. Hier macht er seine Einstellung zu den mörderischen Auseinandersetzungen, ihren Voraussetzungen und Konsequenzen, unmißverständlich – für jeden, der lesen will – deutlich.

Traditional stories (Children's/YA)2019The Tables of Sarwa
by Guiomar du Bois, Marciano Berrocal
Sarwa’s paintings known as «tablas» are one of the few pictorial manifestations of contemporary Peruvian indigenous culture. The colorful paintings were declared national cultural heritage by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, representing an important pre-Columbian tradition considered to be a form of communication and a key-element in the social life of the people of Sarwa in Ayacucho, in the center of the country. They’re usually painted over wood, but a variety of materials are used. The natural paint is extracted from soil and plants, and feathers are traditionally used instead of brushes. Being a cultural expression, “tablas” are also in constant evolution. They currently depict not only the history of the family generation by generation, but also include elements from the regional oral tradition, myths and community history.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2019Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social
by Juan David Enciso
Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together. This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.

Business & managementJuly 2020Liderazgo centrado en la persona
La propuesta de Carlos Llano
by Murcio Rodríguez, Ricardo
La tarea de dirigir tiene un lugar preponderante en la empresa. Carlos Llano fue pionero en el estudio de la acción directiva, en un contexto que ya buscaba una renovación en las teorías del management. Para Llano, la dirección de empresas –y, por lo tanto, de las personas que en ellas laboran– no puede reducirse a un sistema, sino que debe respetar la naturaleza física, espiritual, racional y libre de todo ser humano. Con robustas bases antropológicas, Llano plantea un nuevo modelo de gestión basado en la flexibilidad y la participación, que hace de la empresa un lugar de desarrollo de la persona que contribuye a la construcción de una mejor sociedad. Llano vislumbró que este nuevo paradigma requiere un nuevo estilo de liderazgo, uno que –centrado en la persona– concibe la dirección como un servicio. Este libro rastrea los fundamentos teóricos de su propuesta. Carlos Llano ha sido el pensador que mejor ha sabido integrar filosofía y management. A través de los conceptos perennes de la filosofía, nos ofreció una perspectiva única y genuina de la dirección de empresas. En este libro, Ricardo Murcio nos desmenuza el pensamiento de su profesor y maestro, y nos vuelve a recordar que el centro de la actividad empresarial y de la toma de decisiones deben ser las personas (Joan Fontrodona, IESE Business School).

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureApril 2021Sueños de la Euro
El torneo que reconcilió a un continente
by Miguel L. Pereira
As Paul Auster once said, football is the miracle that allowed Europe to hate itself without destroying itself. The ball has done more than any other political project for brotherhood in a land too used to fighting with itself. After each conflict, it was necessary for the ball to be there to make the continent a space of union and not a perpetual trench. For this reason, every time the European Championship is held, there is a part of the world that looks into each other's eyes and shakes hands. For this reason, when we write about the 60 years of history of this emblematic tournament, we are really drawing our memories, our fears and our desires as Europeans. Because the dreams of Delaunay, Panenka, Charisteas, Aragonés or Éder are also our dreams.

In this first adventure, Dogo, Oli and Niko are excited about the upcoming skate competition in their town, which they hope to win. But something will come along to upset their plans of non-stop practice with no distractions: a strange character who seems to be hiding out in the Cervantes school’s old library, and who corresponds to the description of a bloodthirsty robot whose legend is the talk of the schoolyard.
