The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved. Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies' man. He is also a Jew.

Evidence and Public Good in Educational Policy, Research and Practice
Author: Mustafa Yunus Eryaman
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319588508
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
This volume draws together interdisciplinary approaches from political philosophy, social work, medicine and sociology to analyze the theoretical foundations and practical examples of evidence-based and evidence-informed education for the public good. It presents a range of conceptions of the evidence-based and evidence-informed education and a justification for why the particular examples or issues chosen fit within that conception for the sake of public good. It explores the current literature on evidence-based and evidence-informed educational policy, research and practice, and introduces a new term, ‘evidence free’, meaning actions of some policymakers who disregard or misuse evidence for their own agenda. The demands about the quality and relevance of educational research to inform the policy and practice have been growing over the past decade in response to the Evidence-Based Education movement. However the literature is yet to tackle the question of the interrelationships between evidence, research, policy and practice in education for the public good in an international context. This book fills that gap.

Spain, a Global History
Author: Luis Francisco Martinez Montes
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788494938115
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets was arguably the first global currency, thus facilitating the creation of a world economic system-but intellectually and artistically as well. The most extraordinary cultural exchanges took place in practically every corner of the Hispanic world, no matter how distant from the metropolis. At various times a descendant of the Aztec nobility was translating a Baroque play into Nahuatl to the delight of an Amerindian and mixed audience in the market of Tlatelolco; an Andalusian Dominican priest was writing the first Western grammar of the Chinese language in Fuzhou, a Chinese city that enjoyed a trade monopoly with the Spanish Philippines; a Franciscan friar was composing a piece of polyphonic music with lyrics in Quechua to be played in a church decorated with Moorish-style ceilings in a Peruvian valley; or a multi-ethnic team of Amerindian and Spanish naturalists was describing in Latin, Spanish and local vernacular languages thousands of medicinal plants, animals and minerals previously unknown to the West. And, most probably, at the same time that one of those exchanges were happening, the members of the School of Salamanca were laying the foundations of modern international law or formulating some of the first modern theories of price, value and money, Cervantes was writing Don Quixote, Velázquez was painting Las Meninas, or Goya was exposing both the dark and bright sides of the European Enlightenment. Actually, whenever we contemplate the galleries devoted to Velázquez, El Greco, Zurbarán, Murillo or Goya in the Prado Museum in Madrid; when we visit the National Palace in Mexico City, a mission in California, a Jesuit church in Rome or the Intramuros quarter in Manila; or when we hear Spanish being spoken in a myriad of accents in the streets of San Francisco, New Orleans or Manhattan we are experiencing some of the past and present fruits of an always vibrant and still expanding cultural community. As the reader can infer by now, this book is about how Spain and the larger Hispanic world have contributed to world history and in particular to the history of civilisation, not only at the zenith of the Hispanic Monarchy but throughout a much longer span of time.

Las leyes del deporte español. Análisis y evolución histórica
Author: Antonio Rivero
Publisher: Wanceulen S.L.
ISBN: 8498230772
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 157
Book Description
España, con sus características particulares participó de las tendencias sociales, económicas, culturales y deportivas europeas desde finales del siglo XIX. Debido a la polarización entre campo y ciudad, tan acusada en la España de principios del siglo XX, -con diferencias abismales de niveles de vida y estatus cultural y económico- el deporte sólo se pudo desarrollar en los centros urbanos como una nueva actividad social. A pesar de los problemas políticos y la guerra civil, durante el siglo XX España siguió su camino en el fomento de la actividad física. El deporte, como un componente cultural más de la sociedad española, ha ido creciendo y desarrollándose, influido por los avatares sociales, económicos y políticos que han acontecido en el devenir de nuestra historia, por lo que ahora se comporta de forma similar a nuestra sociedad, de una manera dinámica y positiva, dándonos éxitos deportivos como nunca se había soñado. El prestigio deportivo español ha crecido paralelamente al que España como nación ha ido adquiriendo en las últimas décadas. La legislación deportiva ha sido compañera de las políticas deportivas desde sus comienzos. También las leyes para la regulación de la educación, en concreto de la educación física, fueron de una importancia decisiva para el desarrollo deportivo.

Women’s Football in Latin America
Author: Jorge Knijnik
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031091272
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The chapters in the Women’s Football in Latin America two volumes will look at the social and historical means of the embodied representation of gender differences that has been deeply embedded in the history of Latin American women and football. The authors identify and analyse how, in a range of ways, Latin American women have found in-between spaces, amid severe macho structures, to establish and play their football. As a result, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of sport sociology, football studies, gender studies, comparative sports studies, sports history, and Latin American sporting culture. The second volume of this edited collection integrates a range of high-quality studies on women’s football across Latin American countries to a global readership. From studies with marginalized communities, football fans but also the media and professional women’s footballers, the chapters show how fútbol has been a key part of oppressive gender structures, and ways that women have fought for gender equity within this key cultural expression in Latin America. The book also suggests a fascinating research and activist agenda for women’s football in the continent for the next decades.
