This is the credo and seminal text of the movement which was later
characterized as liberation theology. The book burst upon the scene
in the early seventies, and was swiftly acknowledged as a
pioneering and prophetic approach to theology which famously made
an option for the poor, placing the exploited, the alienated, and
the economically wretched at the centre of a programme where "the
oppressed and maimed and blind and lame" were prioritized at the
expense of those who either maintained the status quo or who abused
the structures of power for their own ends. This powerful,
compassionate and radical book attracted criticism for daring to
mix politics and religion in so explicit a manner, but was also
welcomed by those who had the capacity to see that its agenda was
nothing more nor less than to give "good news to the poor", and
redeem God's people from bondage.
A guide to disrupting harmful mindsets and practices in our schools
so that students can thrive where they are.In many schools and
districts, students of color living in low-income communities are
told in simple and covert ways every day that they must leave their
communities if they want to be successful. The message may be
well-intentioned, but the leave to succeed (L2S) mindset is a
dangerous narrative that affects students' sense of self. Students
start to wonder: Are low-income or marginalized communities
inherently "bad"? What happens to the people who don't "make it
out"? Who is worthy of success? Instead, Nancy GutiÉrrez and
Roberto Padilla turn the L2S mindset on its head to interrogate how
school and district leaders can nurture and support students to
find success in their own communities. They share real-world
vignettes, reflection questions, and clear and simple tips to build
an asset-based, uplifting approach that honors the backgrounds,
cultures, and strengths of Black and Brown communities. You will
learn how to * Recognize how the L2S mindset is pervasive in many
schools. Encourage students to develop their unique stories of self
that highlight their cultural backgrounds. Build schools that are
innovative, offer a community-rich curriculum, and are held
accountable to provide deep learning to all students. Rewrite the
dominant narrative in your school system to become a disruptive yet
positive force in education. Embrace the moral responsibility to be
an equitable, fair, and compassionate leader to all students, no
matter their socioeconomic backgrounds. No one is truly served by
deficit-based narratives, and for every student to feel valued and
affirmed, schools and districts must embrace the idea that any
student in any school can stay in their community and prevail.

The book's primary intention is to serve as a roadmap for
professionals working in developing countries interested in the
Nexus Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) approach. The book shows
a multi-disciplinary approach, showcasing the importance of the
proper use of Nexus WEFE when implementing certain development
programs in regions around the globe. It can be presented as a
manual for an individual that either wishes to implement
intervention projects following the NEXUS approach or students
interested in cooperation and development. The book begins with a
general explanation of the theoretical concepts and implementation
processes of Nexus WEFE and continues getting into case studies,
explaining the importance of proper implementation and potential
drawbacks and solutions to them. This book has a particular focus
on the European Union cooperation policies when implementing such
an approach in developing countries.

Today's global markets demand that companies of all sizes look to
international markets for potential customers. The successive
crises that have taken place in the last decade make the
internationalization of companies essential. This situation is
further aggravated in the case of SMEs, as surviving only from
national markets is becoming increasingly difficult. Indeed, the
economic sphere is in constant flux, which demands that companies
have a great capacity for adaptation to face the new challenges of
an ever more globalized and difficult market. In this context, new
forms of business communication are emerging, especially through
the web and new technologies. Digital marketing and the
dissemination of corporate information have become key processes
for the success of companies. It is therefore crucial to research
different digital marketing processes and ways of breaking down
linguistic and cultural barriers between users from different
sociolinguistic contexts. Innovative Perspectives on Corporate
Communication in the Global World contains different contributions
focused on the description of methods, processes, and tools that
can be adopted to achieve corporate internationalization goals. The
chapters provide a comprehensive review of the why, what, and how
of disseminating corporate information and promoting corporate
digital communication into internationalization processes. These
strategies can be related to the development of digital tools, the
design of new corporate communication strategies, the proposal of
new ways of breaking social and linguistic barriers between
technology users, or the creation of new methodologies aimed at
evaluating the effectiveness of digital marketing strategies. This
book is ideal for marketers, managers, executives, entrepreneurs,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in new corporate communication strategies and their effectiveness.

"My desire is that this book may help readers to know more fully
the God of biblical revelation and, as a result, to proclaim God as
the God of life". Who is God? Where is God? How are we to speak of
God? Gutierrez looks at these classic questions through a review of
the Bible, and his answers challenge all Christians to a deepening
of faith.
