La Universidad, como el dios Jano, presenta dos caras de un único rostro: una mira hacia la investigación e innovación (sean de naturaleza formal, de contenidos o ambos) y la otra hacia los discentes a quienes transmite los logros hallados en unas aulas cada vez más tecnologizadas. Queda claro, por tanto, que la investigación y la docencia son nucleares en la misión de la Academia y en su visión destaca la mejora de la sociedad de la que se nutre y a la que sirve. En esta ecuación binómica tenemos que añadir indefectiblemente el elemento de la divulgación de estos nuevos contenidos y estructuras, de manera que libros como el presente, junto con los demás que conforman la colección Estudios Aranzadi especializada en Ciencias Sociales y Ates y Humanidades así como de su Docencia, suponen el último jalón en el que la Universidad muestra ante todos, expertos y público general, su labor especializada. Los capítulos que conforman el presente título, incluidos en la colección Estudios Aranzadi, han superado el imprescindible requisito que certifica la calidad científica de los resultados plasmados: el de la doble revisión por pares ciegos (peer review) lo que...

"The first-ever anthology of plays by Chicana playwright Silviana Wood"--Provided by publisher.
My dad envies me. I've been an orphan since I was eight months old. Unfortunately, I was mistreated by a bad and envious father, and my whole life has been a torment with him. I will describe, in this book, my father as the person who has done the most harm to me throughout my life, for I have never encountered another person like him. Throughout my life, he has sabotaged my achievements, put me wrong with all the family and friends, and never wanted me to get ahead because he feels less than me. Of course, I have forgiven him for all the evil he has done to me, and I ask God to give him good things despite all the damage he has done to me and even though he has never asked me for an apology. I hope that no one will suffer what I have suffered and that there are no more other fathers like him.
En este libro, yo, Rosa, te llevo a través de mi vida, desde la niñez hasta la actualidad. Recuerdo personas, abusos y buenos momentos. Este libro comenzó como un diario. Yo anoté pensamientos que vinieron a mi mente. No todas las piezas están en orden secuencial y los nombres de personas han sido cambiados, pero la historia es la misma. Mi esperanza es que mi historia toque el corazón de personas y paren la violencia doméstica, y los abusos de niños y animales. Así Fue Nuestra Niñez Extraordinary, Riveting, Inspirational... In this book, I, Rosa, take you through my life, from childhood to the present. I recall times of struggle, abuse, and good memories. This book began as a journal, and because I wrote thoughts down as they came to me, not all parts are in sequential order. Names of people have been changed, but the story remains the same. My hope is that my story will touch someone’s heart and bring attention to issues of child, domestic, and animal abuse. This Was Our Childhood
