Par Carlos Saura. 2023
Las memorias del añorado Carlos Saura, uno de los grandes del cine español. Premio Nacional de Cinematografía (1980), Goya de…
Honor (2022) y nominado a los Oscar y a los Globos de Oro. «Con el estado de ánimo de quien reconoce que la vida ha sido amable con uno y sabiendo que sería un desagradecido si no reconociera que, hasta ahora, los momentos placenteros han superado con creces a aquellos otros dominados por la amargura y la desesperación, me encuentro, con noventa años a las espaldas y en un siglo distinto a aquel en que nací, en condiciones de reflexionar sobre lapersistencia de ciertas imágenes en la retina. Esas imágenes me han acompañado para recordarme que sí hay una respuesta a las grandes preguntas: ¿De dónde vienes y adónde vas? Vengo de allí, de la guerra. Voy allá, hacia la muerte, y, entre medias, la vida de cada día». Carlos Saura, nombre clave de la historia del cine español, falleció el 10 de febrero de 2023, días antes de recibir el Goya de Honor a toda su carrera. Tenía noventa y un años y dejaba atrás siete décadas repletas de películas, premios, reconocimientos yexperimentos estéticos de muy diversa índole por supuesto en cinematografía, pero también en teatro, fotografía, ópera y literatura. También dejó el manuscrito casi terminado de unas memorias que alguna vez dijo que nunca escribiría. De imágenes también se vive es el testimoniode una vida y una obra extraordinarias por el que desfilan muchos de los grandes nombres del cine y la cultura del último siglo.Ordesa

de Literatura (El Heraldo) El fenómeno literario de 2018 ESTA HISTORIA TE PERTENECE Escrito a ratos desde el desgarro, y siempre desde la emoción, este libro es la crónica íntima de la España de las últimas décadas, pero también una narración sobre todo aquello que nos recuerda que somos seres vulnerables, sobre la necesidad de levantarnos y seguir adelante cuando nada parece hacerlo posible, cuando casi todos los lazos que nos unían a los demás han desaparecido o los hemos roto. Y sobrevivimos. ** Premio al Libro Altoaragonés 2018 Críticas: «Ordesa es la carta del náufrago que esperábamos desde hacía años. Llegó a las librerías cabalgando sobre una ola de espuma que al retirarse la dejó en la orilla. [...] bastaba leer la primera página para advertir que aquella llamada de socorro venía de lo más hondo de nosotros mismos. Nos reclamaba porque en cierto modo, además de sus protagonistas, éramos también sus autores. [...] Describía con palabras nuevas, ordenadas de una manera insólita, lo que habíamos sido y aquello de lo que pretendimos salvarnos. Por medio de una prosa que iba y venía en un vaivén hipnótico, alternaba la fiereza con la piedad, el sí con el no, el ahora con el ayer. Total, que tras leer esa primera página nos la llevamos a casa.»Juan José Millás, Babelia «Libro potente, sincero, a ratos descarnado, sobre la pérdida de los padres, sobre el dolor de las palabras que no se dijeron y sobre la necesidad de querer y ser querido. Muy bien escrito, además. No me extraña que esté teniendo éxito.»Fernando Aramburu «En las páginas de esta novela, que podríamos resumir como una sincera y dura carta de amor a sus padres, [...] he descubierto todo un apasionante laberinto de memorias desordenadas y caóticas. Una historia delicada, sanadora y necesaria. Una reflexión sobre el pudor.»Sara Carbonero«Una puñalada que, lejos de matarte, te cura, pero no está exenta de dolor. Es un cañonazo que te cimbrea el alma. Un recorrido del autor por su visión de España en estas últimas décadas a través del duelo de su mirada a sus padres. Desde la honestidad más cruda y generosa. Una panoplia de confesiones inconfesables que nos va conmoviendo en cada cabriola literaria. Impredecible en sus formas, en sus modos. Cada llegada a un renglón nuevo te aborda como un ladrón en cada vuelta de la esquina. No lo ves venir, y te emociona a traición. Por la espalda. Qué valentía de libro. Qué manera tan agradable y placentera de sufrirlo. Atrévanse.»Dani Rovira «Hace falta mucha precisión para contar estas cosas, hace falta el ácido, el cuchillo afilado, el alfiler exacto que pincha el globo de la vanidad. Lo que queda al final es la limpia emoción de la verdad y el desconsuelo de todo lo perdido.»Antonio Muñoz Molina«Uno de los libros más humanos, más profundos, más reconfortantes que yo he leído en mucho tiempo.»Lorenzo Silva «Un libro hermoso y estremecedor, compuesto a partes iguales de culpa, rabia y amor.»Ignacio Martínez de Pisón «Un escritor único, brillante y desprejuiciado, que va por libre y al que no le importa arriesgar.»Sara Mesa «Nadie debe dejar de leer Ordesa, de Manuel Vilas. Es el libro de 2018, y eso que hay y habrá grandes libros. El amor como medicina. La pobreza como enfermedad. La literatura como pócima.»Luisgé MartínAssim Vejo a Minha Vida

Par Olga Griswold, Jennie L Watson. 2023
This textbook provides a practical guide to grammar and style choices for college writers, giving students a basic vocabulary for…
thinking and talking about language use and enabling them to make purposeful choices in their writing. Each section includes a short overview of a grammatical topic accompanied by exercises for raising the students’ awareness of and skills in using specific grammatical structures. It focuses on the practical and rhetorical functions of grammatical structures as they are used in expository and analytic writing, rather than on de-contextualized grammatical rules. Students will develop a repertoire of grammatical choices and understand the strategic reasons for making these choices in their writing for various audiences. It particularly attends to the structures that present the most difficulty for college students from multilingual communities and communities where a non-standard dialect of English is used on a daily basis. This textbook can be used as a core textbook for grammar course as well as a supplementary text for composition courses. It is also suitable for courses tailored to multilingual, advanced non-native, or non-standard speakers of English.Stays and Corsets Volume 2: Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body
Par Mandy Barrington. 2019
In this second volume of Stays and Corsets, Mandy Barrington continues to create historical patterns for a modern body shape.…
This book contains all new corset patterns with a range of silhouettes that span over 300 years, from the late 16th century to the early 20th century. The corset patterns are generated from an original historical garment and have been designed for a wide range of female figures and sizes. The technique of flat pattern drafting your stays or corset will enable you to change the shape of the wearer to create an authentic historic silhouette. All calculations have been worked out for the reader and are provided in easy-to-read tables, which avoids extremely difficult, time-consuming and inaccurate re-sizing of historical patterns. Some prior knowledge of pattern drafting is helpful; however, each pattern has step-by-step instructions supported by clear diagrams that will take you through each stage of the pattern drafting process. The final result is an accurate period stays or corset pattern for your model.Myofascial Induction™ 2-volume set: An Anatomical Approach to Fascial Dysfunction
Par Andrzej Pilat. 2023

effect of manual interventions on underlying body structures.Using over 700 photographs and diagrams these volumes reveal fascial architecture to the reader in all its glory, and sets out the principles and practice of Myofascial Induction. The author's own teaching and practice provide the material that explains and illustrates fascial anatomy and therapeutic procedures. The beautiful full color photographs and videos of dissections of non-embalmed cadavers show the continuity of the fascial system and its dynamic links to other body systems. By demonstrating the effect that therapy has on body structures the book will be of interest and practical value to the physical therapist, osteopath, chiropractor, physician and all bodyworkers dedicated to manual therapy, as well as to researchers wishing to build on this ground-breaking material.Volume 1 covers the science and principles of Myofascial Induction and its applications to the upper body. Volume 2 addresses its applications to the thoracic and lumbar spine, the pelvis, and the lower body.Principles of Public Finance (Routledge Library Editions)

Par Bill Atweh, John A. Malone, Jeffrey R. Northfield. 1998
Research and Supervision in Mathematics and Science Education provides student researchers and their supervisors with information about both the essentials…
of planning, conducting, reporting, and publishing qualitative research, and the characteristics of quality supervision. It is focused primarily for postgraduate research students in mathematics and science education and their supervisors. It will also be of interest to students and faculty in other disciplines that use educational and sociological research paradigms. The volume builds on two phenomena of recent years: first, the increasing momentum of postgraduate research in mathematics and science education and, second, the resulting need of those involved for knowledge about doing research and about engaging in quality supervision. The decision to address both research and supervision in one volume is a response to the fact that faculty who supervise postgraduate research often are in need of resources covering not only aspects of project and thesis supervision, but also the knowledge to assist students in research design, especially in the qualitative field. Drawing on recent research and practice, the authors of the chapters in this book illustrate approaches and strategies that have been used successfully with, and by, postgraduate students. The book also has a strong future orientation, describing how postgraduate supervision and research will change as more and more students gain access to and make use of the vast array of technological resources now available. A necessary and unique addition to books in the field of postgraduate research and supervision, this volume's particular appeal stems from its practical approach, its creative future perspective, and the wide generalizability of the thinking and ideas it presents.The Role of Religion in Modern Societies (Routledge Advances in Sociology)
Par Detlef Pollack, Daniel V. A. Olson. 2007
Does modernization lead to the decline of religion? This question lies at the centre of a key debate in the…
sociology of religion. During the past decade American scholars, using primarily American data, have dominated this debate and have made a strong case that the answer to this question is no. Recently, however, a new crop of European scholars, working with new sources of European data, have uncovered evidence that points toward an affirmitive answer. This volume pays special attention to these trends and developments to provide the reader with a more well-rounded understanding of the many ways in which religion interacts with modernization. Respected scholars such as David Voas, Steve Bruce and Anthony Gill examine modern societies across the world in this splendid book which will interest sociologists, political scientists, historians, and theologians in equal measure.Community as Doctor: New perspectives on a therapeutic community (Historical Issues In Mental Health Ser.)

Par Roger C. Schank. 2004
In the author's words: "This book is an honest attempt to understand what it means to be educated in today's…
world." His argument is this: No matter how important science and technology seem to industry or government or indeed to the daily life of people, as a society we believe that those educated in literature, history, and other humanities are in some way better informed, more knowing, and somehow more worthy of the descriptor "well educated." This 19th-century conception of the educated mind weighs heavily on our notions on how we educate our young. When we focus on intellectual and scholarly issues in high school as opposed to issues, such as communications, basic psychology, or child raising, we are continuing to rely on outdated notions of the educated mind that come from elitist notions of who is to be educated and what that means. To accommodate the realities of today's world it is necessary to change these elitist notions. We need to rethink what it means to be educated and begin to focus on a new conception of the very idea of education. Students need to learn how to think, not how to accomplish tasks, such as passing standardized tests and reciting rote facts. In this engaging book, Roger C. Schank sets forth the premises of his argument, cites its foundations in the Great Books themselves, and illustrates it with examples from an experimental curriculum that has been used in graduate schools and with K-12 students. Making Minds Less Well Educated Than Our Own is essential reading for scholars and students in the learning sciences, instructional design, curriculum theory and planning, educational policy, school reform, philosophy of education, higher education, and anyone interested in what it means to be educated in today's world.Assessing Expressive Learning: A Practical Guide for Teacher-directed Authentic Assessment in K-12 Visual Arts Education
Par Charles M. Dorn, Robert Sabol, Stanley S. Madeja, F. Robert Sabol. 2003
Assessing Expressive Learning is the only book in the art education field to date to propose and support a research-supported…
teacher-directed authentic assessment model for evaluating K-12 studio art, and to offer practical information on how to implement the model. This practical text for developing visual arts assessment for grades 1-12 is based on and supported by the results of a year-long research effort primarily sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, involving 70 art teachers and 1,500 students in 12 school districts in Florida, Indiana, and Illinois. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate that creative artwork by K-12 students can be empirically assessed using quantitative measures that are consistent with the philosophical assumptions of authentic learning and with the means and ends of art, and that these measures can reliably assess student art growth. A further goal was to provide a rationale for the assessment of student art as an essential part of the K-12 instructional program and to encourage art teachers to take responsibility for and assume a leadership role in the assessment of art learning in the school and the school district. Assessing Expressive Learning: *reports on current assessment methods but also stresses a time-tested portfolio assessment process that can be used or adapted for use in any K-12 art classroom; *includes the assessment instruments used in the study and several case studies of art teachers using electronic portfolios of student work, a bibliography of major art assessment efforts, and a critical review of current methods; *is designed to be teacher- and system-friendly, unlike many other art assessment publications that provide only a review of information on assessment; and *both documents an experiment where artistic values and aesthetic issues were considered paramount in the education of K-12 students in the visual arts, and also serves as a guide for the conduct of similar experiments by art teachers in the nation's schools--the research methodology and results are reported in an appendix in a format that will enable educational researchers to duplicate the study. This volume is ideal as a text for upper-division undergraduate and graduate classes in visual arts education assessment, and highly relevant for college art education professors, researchers, and school district personnel involved in the education and supervision of art teachers, and researchers interested in performance measurement.
