Empresas y tribulaciones de Maqroll el Gaviero II
by Álvaro Mutis Jaramillo"La obra completa de Álvaro, su vida misma, son las de un vidente que sabe a ciencia cierta que nunca volveremos a encontrar el paraíso perdido". Gabriel García Márquez Este segundo volumen que recoge las venturas y desventuras de Maqroll el Gaviero inicia con Amirbar, que recibe su título de una mina situada en un lugar recóndito de la cordillera colombiana, llamada así por el quejido que el aire produce al entrar en sus grutas. El Gaviero ha abandonado los mares para buscar allí fortuna, pero no encuentra nada más que soledad, ansiedad y delirio. El silbido del viento le trae la llamada del mar, que lo reclama como una más de sus criaturas. En Abdul Bashur, soñador de navíos abandonamos por un momento a Maqroll para conocer al amigo fiel con el que comparte, del Caribe al Mediterráneo, sus empresas y viajes. El marino libanés tiene un anhelo: encontrar el barco ideal, y en esta búsqueda imposible llegará al cumplimiento de su fatal destino. Tríptico de mar y tierra es el broche con el que Mutis cierra el ciclo dedicado a las andanzas de Maqroll. En él se concentran tres narraciones breves, sendas experiencias en la vida del Gaviero que le revelaron regiones del alma hasta entonces para él desconocidas y en las que, muy a su pesar, o a pesar de sí mismo, había estado navegando sin saberlo
Empresas y tribulaciones de Maqroll el Gaviero: La Nieve del Almirante | Ilona llega con la lluvia | Un bel morir | La última escala del tramp steamer (Empresas y tribulaciones de Maqroll el Gaviero #1)
by Álvaro Mutis<P>Maqroll el Gaviero emprende en La Nieve del Almirante (1986) un desesperado viaje corriente arriba por las aguas del río Xurandó, en el que, bajo un sol inclemente y a merced de la enfermedad, recorrerá, náufrago, el camino hacia el verdadero sentido de una existencia que no es sino para el riesgo. <P>Le encontramos de nuevo en Ilona llega con la lluvia (1988), a bordo del Hansa Stens con rumbo a Panamá, donde se convertirá en un marinero en tierra obligado por los brazos de Ilona hasta que otra mujer, Larissa, le señale nuevos viajes. <P>«La muerte transforma la vida en destino», que decía Malraux, parece ser la máxima que rige las andanzas del Gaviero en Un bel morir (1989), pero, a pesar de verse involucrado en una historia de contrabando y tragedia, sobrevivirá para embarcarse en La última escala del tramp steamer (1988), en un viejo y destartalado carguero que recoge cualquier mercancía en cualquier puerto con tal de continuar viaje, una hermosa metáfora sobre los amores transitorios e imposible que terminará, como no podía ser de otro modo, en naufragio.
Relatos de mar y tierra
by Álvaro MutisNadie como Álvaro Mutis ha conjugado tan genuinamente en prosa la infusión de vida, el dandismo, la precisión intelectual y los más oscuros sabores de la lírica. El autor, se inició en la narrativa breve, que presentamos reunida en este volumen, con Diario de Lecumberri, donde tamiza -hasta convertirlas en una ficción desolada pero luminosa sobre la condición humana- sus experiencias en la cárcel mexicana conocida como «Palacio Negro». En La mansión de Araucaíma sugiere un drama gótico en una hacienda cuyos habitantes se desenmascaran al ritmo de una prosa sensual y feroz. Con los relatos finales de La muerte del estratega, el autor colombiano traza sus conjeturas sobre la condición simultánea de la vida y la muerte, mientras que en Los textos de Alvar de Mattos, así como en los Intermedios, nos regala una serie de juegos lúcidos sobre las hebras de la Historia. El libro se cierra con Un rey mago en Pollensa, relato inédito en el que Mutis evoca, a modo de epílogo vital y literario, un episodio perdido de Maqroll el Gaviero.
Summa de Maqroll el Gaviero
by Álvaro MutisEn Maqroll el Gaviero, «esta especie de otro yo que escribe mis cosas», habita la obra poética de Álvaro Mutis. <P><P>Por los poemas que presentamos yerra su carácter fabuloso, el torrente de lo vivo y lo imaginario, la voz que canta al viaje, que recrea las batallas y las vidas de otros hombres, que recoge los vestigios del amor, que zarpa a la muerte, una voz casi ancestral que celebra la maravilla perdida. <P><P>Liberados de ataduras formales y de género, los versos de Álvaro Mutis dan fe del inesperado prodigio que obran las palabras, como apunta el poema que cierra el volumen, en manos de «infatuados tribunos ávidos de un poder hecho de sombra y desventura.»
An Evolutionary Story of Agency: How Life Evolved to Act on its Own (Foundations for Interdisciplinarity in the Life Sciences: Concise Monographs)
by Juli Peretó Álvaro MorenoThis open access book exposes the role of "agency" in the history of life. Agency is understood as the capacity of an organism to act, make decisions, and exercise control over its actions in order to achieve goals or to navigate and interact with its environment. The question of agency has become a hot and controversial topic in Biology and Philosophy of the Natural Sciences. This volume studies said topic through its historical expressions, investigating how and why it has appeared, and what was its selective advantage in the past, assuming a continuity in how it has evolved in different life forms. By also explaining how and why agency has evolved and become more complex in some branches of the tree of life, the authors show how life has made its way on our planet with forms of agency as diverse as those shown by bacteria, plants or animals, which are the most sophisticated and complex agents. The book is of great interest to a broad audience, whether philosophically or biologically inclined, interested in understanding fundamental aspects of how life works and in seeking explanations for why life has been so successful on planet Earth.

Advances in Tourism Economics: New Developments
by Peter Nijkamp Manuela Sarmento Álvaro Matias'Advances in Tourism Economics' follows his predecessor 'Advances in Modern Tourism Research' (2007) in providing a thorough assessment of state-of-the-art economic research in this rapidly developing field. The authors start by analyzing the recent upsurge of model-based economic research in the field, which builds on powerful tools in quantitative economics, such as discrete choice models, social accounting matrices, data envelopment analyses, impact assessment models or partial computable equilibrium models including environmental externalities. The volume originates from this novel research spirit in the area and aims to offer an attractive collection of operational research tools and approaches. It forms an appealing record of modern tourism economics and positions the field within the strong tradition of quantitative economic research, with due attention for both the demand and supply side of the tourism sector, including technological and logistic advances.
Impact Assessment in Tourism Economics
by Peter Nijkamp João Romão Álvaro MatiasThis book presents a series of studies on the socio-economic impacts of tourism, with a special focus on the determinants of tourism competitiveness at the destination level. The authors offer a systematic overview of this important issue, presenting relevant empirical studies from different parts of the world, based on modern theoretical approaches and adequate analysis tools, in the context of their policy or managerial implications. The first part of the book discusses the analysis and assessment of quantitative tourism impacts on local economies, while the second part focuses on non-material aspects of tourism development, in particular those related to the role of innovation and human resources. The final section highlights the different dynamics often observed in tourism destinations arising from the interaction between tourists and local communities.
Quantitative Methods in Tourism Economics
by Peter Nijkamp Manuela Sarmento Álvaro MatiasTourism economics is partly based on established principles from the economics discipline, but it also incorporates elements from sociology, psychology, organization theory and ecology. It has over the years turned into an appealing multi-disciplinary oriented approach to the understanding of the impacts of leisure time in a modern society, including cultural heritage, sustainable quality of life, and industrial organization of the hospitality industry. The increasing dynamics in the tourist industry and its worldwide effects will continue to attract the attention of both the research and the policy sector in the years to come. Rather than speculating on non-observed facts, there is a clear need for evidence-based research in order to map out the complex dynamics of the tourist industry. The present volume comprises novel studies - mainly of a quantitative-analytical nature - on the supply, demand and contextual aspects of modern tourism. It contains a sound mix of theory, methodology, policy and case studies on various tourism issues in different parts of the world.
Tourism Economics: Impact Analysis
by Peter Nijkamp Manuela Sarmento Álvaro MatiasThe assessment of local, regional or national impacts of an influx of tourists - of different kind and origin - has in recent years become a new challenge for economics research in the tourism sector. There is a clear need to develop solid methodologies through which the socio-economic impacts of tourism can be assessed. Tourism impact assessment - as a systematic approach to the estimation of socio-economic effects of tourism on relevant parts of the economy - has become a timely response to the need for appropriate information for stakeholders, both public and private. The present volume brings together a set of recent impact studies - of both a theoretical-methodological and an applied policy-oriented nature - , which have been selected on the basis of their originality or novel contribution to the research in this field.
Contesting Epistemologies in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies (Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies)
by Sandra L. Halverson Álvaro Marín GarcíaThis dynamic collection synthesizes and critically reflects on epistemological challenges and developments within Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies, problematizing a range of issues. These critical essays provide a means of encouraging further development by grounding new theories, stances, and best practices. The volume is a clear marker of a maturing discipline, as decades of empirical study and methodological innovation provide the backdrop for critique and debate. The volume exemplifies tendencies toward convergence and difference, while at the same time pushing against disciplinary boundaries and structures. Constructs such as expertise and process are explored, and different theories of cognition are brought to the table. A number of chapters consider what it might mean for translation to be a form of situated, or 4EA cognition, while others query interdisciplinary relationships of foundational importance to the field. Issues of methodology are also addressed in terms of their underlying philosophical assumptions and implications. This book will be of interest to scholars working at the intersection of translation and cognition, in such fields as translation studies, cognitive science, psycholinguistics, semiotics, and philosophy of science.
Todos perros

Stalin (Historia Incógnita)
by Álvaro LozanoLa historia completa del estalinismo, el régimen dictatorial más sanguinario de todos los tiempos. Alejada de las visiones tradicionales que demonizaban o, por el contrario, consideraban a Stalin un dios omnipotente, este estudio viene a cubrir una laguna en el análisis del estalinismo y su precursor principal, el tirano rojo, ya que existen numerosas biografías pero ninguna combina el planteamiento estructuralista (que enfatiza el valor de las fuerzas sociales en la evolución de la historia) y el intencionalista (que resalta el papel del individuo y su voluntad para forjar la historia) en una obra general. El estalinismo no consistió únicamente en represión y encarcelamientos, fue un sistema muy complejo, económica y socialmente revolucionario. Stalin forjó un sistema económico que transformó las vidas de los ciudadanos soviéticos y sentó las bases para el surgimiento de la URSS como superpotencia. Gracias a esta obra el lector podrá aproximarse a la experiencia soviética a través de los detalles de sus principales líderes, muy especialmente de Stalin, pero también a través de las vidas de los ciudadanos soviéticos, de las creencias que compartían y de lo que les hacía reír, así como de las ciudades y edificios donde vivían.
New Perspectives on Suicidal Behavior: Cultural Context, Clinical Assessment, and Intervention (Depression and Personality)
by Vania Martínez Álvaro Jiménez-MolinaThis book offers a comprehensive overview of current research, clinical practice, and prevention efforts related to suicidal behavior. The first section of the book focuses on theoretical frameworks and sociocultural dimensions, exploring the subjective experiences of suicidal thoughts and behaviors within diverse social contexts. It examines theoretical models, the role of personality disorders, and perspectives from indigenous communities, as well as the experiences of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, highlighting their implications for research and clinical practice. The second section focuses on clinical assessment and psychosocial interventions for suicide risk. It provides tools for early detection, evaluation, and intervention, while also addressing prevention and postvention strategies across various settings. Additionally, it explores the growing role of digital technologies in suicide prevention and treatment, offering insights into their potential applications and impact. Suicide is a significant global public health issue, claiming over 700,000 lives each year. It accounts for approximately 1.3% of all deaths, with around 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. In this context, the United Nations&’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have prioritized reducing suicide mortality as a key target for improving global health by 2030. New Perspectives on Suicidal Behavior: Cultural Context, Clinical Assessment, and Intervention is designed for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health students and professionals, advocating for a shift toward multidimensional, culturally informed frameworks to enhance the understanding, assessment, and intervention of suicidal behavior across diverse contexts.
