For most Western audiences, Cuba is a touristic paradise stuck in time and virtually detached from world technology networks by the US embargo - anything but a hub of industrial innovation and high value-added biotechnology. However, a closer look reveals more subtle but equally powerful stories that challenge the homogenizing assumptions of conventional economics and open up scope for more sophisticated reflections on Cuban economy and industry. From this kind of enquiry emerges the case of the internationally respected Cuban biotech industry as the most successful case of science and technology policy in the country's economic history. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, exploring issues such as interdependency, purpose and history as natural constituencies of the innovation process. It also examines the dynamic and crucial role played by the state in the formation of innovative business enterprises. This book will be of interest to academic researchers in the fields of innovation and economic development.

It's a history that has involved periods of great friendship with robust trade and loose immigration policies. But the US-Mexican relationship has also been beset by wars, drug trade, and human trafficking. And with the latest Trump-induced xenophobia towards Mexico this book contextualizes how it is the latest swing in the up-and-down two-hundred-year history between these countries. THROUGH THESE WALLS also addresses how the broken relationship between these countries have been repaired in the past and will provide clarity to the current debate regarding building the wall and America's posture towards immigrants.

La obra POBRE NACION RICA es un relato alegorico que propone mejoras, escrito en forma de fabula, para una sociedad cada vez mas compleja, donde la letra didactica compite en desventaja frente a los populares medios electronicos. Al describir el entorno de miseria e inseguridad, el autor examina una paradojica realidad que nos aleja del desarrollo (miles de comunidades como "El Barrio del Pozo" testimonian el retraso). Denuncia la desigualdad producto del desgastado modelo centralista que persiste disfrazado de federalismo. En la trama, personajes singulares dan testimonio de una nacion antigua cuya adolescencia no ha sido superada.

La acelerada introduccion de las Tecnologias de la Informacion y las Comunicaciones en los procesos sustantivos de las universidades cubanas ha cambiado las acciones necesarias a realizar por el profesor para elaborar un curso, creando cierta dependencia en este proceso. Esta investigacion tiene como objeto el proceso de produccion de cursos en formato digital, para elaborar una concepcion teorica metodologica que favorezca la actividad independiente del profesor en este procedimiento; partiendo del estudio de los fundamentos teoricos y practicos del objeto y de la experiencia documentada de varias universidades en el Centro de Referencia para la Educacion de Avanzada (CREA) del Instituto Superior Politecnico "Jose Antonio Echeverria" (Cujae). La concepcion favorece la autoeducacion del profesor mediante orientaciones y ayudas que posibilitan el desarrollo de estrategias de aprendizaje durante la actividad del profesor en la produccion de un curso. Sirve de apoyo a aquellos profesores que pretendan enfrentarse al proceso de forma individual."
