FictionA Genious and a Scoundrel
by María Luisa Martínez
How did a Caravaggio, painted between 1605 and 1609, end up at a Madrid auction in 2021? Un Genio y un Canalla meticulously reconstructs the Ecce Homo's mysterious journey, a painting initially attributed to José de Ribera, now recognized as the work of the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Spanning the Italian Baroque, the post-war era, and the 21st century, María Luisa Martínez Haces's novel explores the creation, hidden trajectory, and astonishing rediscovery of this lost masterpiece, guiding us through interconnected lives caught in a web of artistic ambition, human passions, and moral compromises. From its genesis to its clandestine passage to Spain, to the detective work that unearthed its true origins – revealing it in the hands of a Spanish family before its acquisition by a British collector – the novel weaves historical fact with fictional characters, culminating in its current display at the Museo del Prado, a testament to the enduring power of hidden truths. Like Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring, Un Genio y un Canalla ignites the imagination, but unlike its predecessor, this novel dares to expose the high price of artistic genius, blurring the line between what we believe and what we know to be true.

For millennia people have travelled to religious sites for worship, initiatory and leisure purposes. Today there are hundreds, if not thousands, of religious pilgrimage routes and trails around the world that are used by pilgrims as well as tourists. Indeed, many religious pilgrimage routes and trails are today used as themes by tourism marketers in an effort to promote regional economic development. Providing a holistic approach to religious pilgrimage routes and trails, this book: - Addresses important conceptual themes such as sustainable local development, regional economic development, heritage identity and management, and promoting environmentally friendly practices; - Includes global case studies to help transfer theory into good practice; - Calls for further discussion of the importance of better planning, management, and maintenance of these routes and trails, so that the positive benefits of this type of tourism development can be fully realized. An important resource for those interested in religious tourism and pilgrimage, this book is also an invaluable collection for academics and policy-makers within heritage tourism and regional development.

Fiction
A faint smell of shit
by Miguel Esteva
After a night that, at his age, could be mistaken for passion, Calvo, guided by the persistent shouts of the street musician on the corner, enters a house in Colonia Roma, where he finds the naked body of a young girl. Despite having solved two cases, for Calvo, the girl’s dilemma is just another accident in Mexico City—an issue belonging to someone else that he prefers not to get involved in, especially now that his firm, Calvo Abogados, has a steady flow of clients and various cases keeping the business and his life afloat. But another related crime, now with an undeniable proximity, prompts him to reflect, and against his own battered principles, he decides to investigate. More than just taking on the case, the problem consumes him, yet tracking down clues proves difficult. It is only through the fortuitous involvement of a neighbor and the mysterious appearance of a politician from the old guard that Calvo begins to piece together his investigation—one, he is told by his neighbor, that is tied to an ancient legend from Greek mythology.

Indigenous Knowledge (IK) reviews cutting-edge research and links theory with practice to further our understanding of this important approach's contribution to natural resource management. It addresses IK's potential in solving issues such as coping with change, ensuring global food supply for a growing population, reversing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable practices. It is increasingly recognised that IK, which has featured centrally in resource management for millennia, should play a significant part in today's programmes that seek to increase land productivity and food security while ensuring environmental conservation. By drawing together strands of biocultural diversity research into natural resources management, this book: - Provides an overview of conceptual issues around IK and its contributions to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation; - Addresses key themes via case studies from bioculturally diverse regions of the world; - Displays a wide range of methodologies and outlines a possible agenda to guide future work. An invaluable resource for researchers and postgraduate students in environmental science and natural resources management, this book is also an informative read for development practitioners and undergraduates in agriculture, forestry, geography, anthropology and environmental studies.

Humanities & Social SciencesÉtica aplicada
Desde la medicina hasta el humor
by Mauricio Correa Casanova y Adela Cortina
Resulta indesmentible que hoy la realidad social exige a la filosofía moral comprometerse con la vida cotidiana. La ética aplicada configura una forma nueva de saber, de reflexionar sobre los problemas morales y de proponer recomendaciones para la acción. Empresas, servicios públicos, colegios profesionales o entidades sin fines de lucro, entre muchos otros, han incorporado los nuevos modos éticos de saber y hacer, y universidades de todo el mundo abordan este tema a través de cátedras, programas y centros de investigación. Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos sobre distintos ámbitos de la ética aplicada, como la ecología, la biomedicina, la empresa o la economía, que el lector común seguramente ya reconoce. Otros, en cambio, se presentan aquí con toda su novedad para situarnos ante desafíos inéditos en campos como la neuroética, el deporte, la ciudad y el humor. El principal objetivo es ofrecer a jóvenes y adultos, alumnos o profesores, funcionarios públicos o del mundo privado, perspectivas éticas en los más diversos ámbitos de la sociedad que contribuyan a encarnar la moralidad en la vida diaria, que es sin duda el real sentido de la ética aplicada. "La tarea de la razón práctica no consiste solo en enunciar lo que se debe hacer, sino también en tomar carne en las instituciones, transformándolas desde dentro. De ahí que la ética aplicada sea un elemento ineludible de cualquier diseño institucional que desee funcionar con bien, incluso lo es de cualquier proyecto de investigación que quiera recibir el visto bueno".

Religion: generalFebruary 2014HORA SANTA
Propuestas para orar y adorar
by Jáuregui Castelo, Juan
El libro nos ofrece varias “horas santas” nacidas en contexto del triduo pascual, pero que pueden ser muy bien usadas en otros momentos de oración y exposición ya que, sin duda, la Iglesia está recuperando la oración y adoración al Santísimo. Bastarán pequeños retoques de referencia a los días del Triduo Pascual. Hora Santa es el espacio de oración que la comunidad (o algunas personas de la comunidad cristiana) dedican a rezar delante del Santísimo.

May 2018El tigre en la casa
by Fernando Lizalde, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía
"Fernando Lizalde representa un caso raro en la poesía mexicana, al menos, por dos razones: una, que su reconocimiento como poeta sólo se dio pasados los cuarenta años con la publicación de El tigre en la casa, y que, por la vertiente primordial de su país, ha sido y es el más brillante, por no decir el real y único, heredero de la poesía maldita, sobre todo el linaje francés: de Rutebeuf y Villon, de Baudelaire y Rimbaud, de Lautréamont y Artaud. De todos, sin duda, su influencia para Arthur Rimbaud o para Émile Nelligan, Charles Baudelaire."
