Alberto García

There are few sports that are so little known as the air sports, and at the same time are so attractive for all those who love to experience the feeling of freedom, risk and many other emotions that, from up on high, seem to be reserved for the birds.However, the concept of"air sports"goes much further, and although at first glance they may seem to be reserved for a well-to-do minority, Alberto Garcia shows us in this book that there are options open to all ages and pocketbooks. From ballooning to aeroplane modelling, hang-gliding, para-gliding, ultra-lights, etc., everyone is sure to find the one that best suits their interests or the most affordable way of getting started.Technology and continuous research have made it possible to obtain high levels of safety in all of them. Furthermore, the legislative promotion and support offered by the World Air Sports Federation (FAI) and the different flying clubs have led to ever increasing regulation of these sports. Specifically in our country, the RACE is the institution that watches over aeronautical interests, in both the sports and tourism areas of this corner of aviation.The author, an aeronautics and journalism professional, through a pleasant narration that is easy to read, delves into each and every one of these sports that are gaining new followers every day, and which, following the publication of this book, will grow even more with new participants in these fascinating sports.Publication index:1.

Jorge Riechmann es una de las figuras fundamentales de la poesía española contemporánea. En su extensa obra, se integran armónicamente una inagotable intención de revelación y una profunda crítica socioeconomica centrada en la crisis ecologica. Sus versos constituyen un exigente ejercicio de denuncia y de indagacion, de exploracion de las vias para construir un mundo justo y respetuoso con la vida, cuyo eje es la relacion con el otro, con lo otro, a traves de la precision lexica, la claridad enunciativa, la interrogacion filosofica y un permanente cuestionamiento de todo lo establecido. Permiten otear formas que, desde un plano etico, desde un modo individual de vivir enfocado hacia procesos colectivos, en union con la naturaleza y con el resto de personas, deshagan la injusticia y el dolor generados por el capitalismo y la mentalidad productivista antropocentrica, y recuperen la dignidad de todo lo vivo, al tiempo que apuntan nuevas maneras de sentir, pensar y estar en el mundo.

Román García Cabezas es uno de tantos vagabundos que pueblan la ciudad ganándose la vida como puede, buscando en los Servicios Sociales la oportunidad de incorporarse al mundo laboral y, con ello, a la sociedad que le ha dado la espalda. A raiz de uno de estas propuestas, un dia le ofrecen un peculiar trabajo que habra de cambiarle la vida durante dos meses; se trata de la participacion en una pelicula inusual en la cual debe interpretarse a si mismo.Silencio, se rueda es un relato inteligente, escrito con un estilo sorprendente y de una belleza dificil de hallar en las publicaciones actuales, y que ahonda de manera sutil en cuestiones existenciales como la identidad, la ficcion como discurso narrativo de la verdad y otros aspectos de indole sociocultural.

¿Qué relación guardan la lucha contra el coronavirus y la Bioestética? ¿Puede esta novedosa disciplina aportar al análisis de la pandemia algo significativo y qué en concreto?Este texto ofrece respuestas a ambos interrogantes y revela lo fecundo de la belleza y de la union entre bioetica y estetica a la hora de considerar de un modo integral el combate frente a la epidemia. Es fruto de una investigacion internacional, que reune a destacados expertos, y de la acreditada trayectoria de los equipos y grupos que han participado en la misma.

Just as in the days of Luther, we are living in a world undergoing enormous changes in the social political, economic, religious, cultural and technological arenas. As in the times of the monk from Wittenberg, these changes also challenge and force the Church to rethink and transform itself. For this reason, the Association for Hispanic Theological Education (AETH for its name in Spanish) considers the publication of this book very relevant. Because it is about commemorating what happened five centuries ago as much as about reliving it in light of our realities.In a very particular way, this book is an invitation to the Church in general and to the Hispanic Church in particular not to forget thesis 55 raised by the authors: "We are not helpless victims, but Gods people called to be instrument of his grace, justice and reconciliation."
