Publicado en el contexto de la visita de Benedicto XVI a México, este libro revela el archivo de documentos secretos…
del Vaticano sobre el caso Maciel, demostrando con ello que, desde hace más de 60 años, las máximas autoridades de la Iglesia católica conocían la conducta criminal del fundador de los Legionarios Descubra los documentos sobre Maciel que El vaticano había mantenido en secreto hasta hoy . "Lamentablemente llegamos con mucha lentitud y atraso a estas cuestiones. De alguna manera estaban ocultas y sólo desde el año 2000 contamos con asideros concretos al respecto" aseguró Benedicto XVI al periodista alemán Peter Seewald en 2010. En contraste, este libro representa un paso decisivo para evidenciar que el papa no habla con la verdad al referirse al "caso Maciel". Joseph Ratzinger presidió la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe durante veinticuatro años. Por la naturaleza de su cargo, debió conocer los expedientes, publicados aquí por primera vez, donde se registraban la drogadicción y la pederastia del fundador de la Legión de Cristo. Desde la década de 1940 existía información suficiente para que las autoridades eclesiásticas procedieran contra Maciel. Sin embargo, el sacerdote michoacano obtuvo la protección y el silencio cómplice de la curia romana durante más de medio siglo. A la luz de esas consideraciones, la presente obra pone de relieve la aguda crisis del catolicismo originada por la pederastia clerical y cuestiona duramente la acelerada beatificación de Juan Pablo II, quien alguna vez llegó a calificar al líder de los Legionarios como una "guía eficaz de la juventud". Que el lector juzgue por sí mismo.By Pedro Calderón de la Barca. 2014

más excelente y preciosa del teatro de Calderón de la Barca.Isabel cuenta a su padre, alcalde de Zalamea, que ha sido raptada y violada por el capitán Álvaro de Ataide, al que ofrecieron hospedaje cuando llegó al pueblo la compañía de soldados en avance hacia Portugal. El alcalde, don Pedro Crespo, no acata más justicia que la propia y condena el atropello cometido contra su hija, ya que #Al rey, la hacienda y la vida / se ha de dar, pero el honor/ es patrimonio del alma, / y el alma sólo es de Dios#.By William Shakespeare. 2014
Ideas que han cambiado el mundo. A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado…
la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Éstos son los mejores escritos de Shakespeare sobre el poder en todas sus formas: en el amor, en la guerra, en la política y en la familia. De las desmesuradas ambiciones de Macbeth al frágil control de la autoridad de Ricardo II, de las violentas rivalidades del rey Lear a la exquisita poesía de sus sonetos de amor, estos textos muestran, con sutileza filosófica y agudeza psicológica, cómo los hombres se manipulan y dominan mutuamente. Comentarios sobre la colección Great Ideas: «De veras que la edición es primorosa y pocas veces contenido y continente pueden encontrarse mejor ensamblados y unidos. ¡Qué portadas! Para enmarcar. [...] Ante las Great Ideas, solo cabe quitarse el sombrero. ¡Chapeau!»ABC «Taurus propone un doble envite con este lanzamiento. Por un lado aumenta su compromiso con el ensayo; por otro, recupera el gusto por la estética. A los volúmenes se les ha proporcionado una portada delicada y cuidada (copian el original británico) que invita a la lectura.»La Razón «Un fenómeno editorial.»The Guardian «Aparte de los contenidos, en general muy bien elegidos, son tan bonitos que si los ven seguro que cae alguno.»El País «Ideas revolucionarias, crónicas de exploraciones, pensamientos radicales... vuelven a la vida en estas cuidadísimas ediciones, muy atractivas para nuevos lectores.»Mujer Hoy «Grandes ideas bien envueltas. De Cicerón a Darwin, esta colección entra por los ojos.»Rolling Stone «Original y bella iniciativa la emprendida por Taurus con su colección Great Ideas.»Cambio 16 «Hay libros inmortales, libros únicos que contienen pensamientos y reflexiones capaces de cambiar el mundo, tesoros en miniatura reagrupados en la colección Great ideas.»Diario de LeónBy Lope De Vega. 2014

This book showcases the important, but often understudied, work of Nigerian women playwrights. As in many spheres of life in…
Nigeria, in literature and other creative arts the voices of men dominate, and the work of women has often been sidelined. However, Nigerian women playwrights have made important contributions to the development of drama in Nigeria, not just by presenting female identities and inequalities but by vigorously intervening in wider social and political issues. This book draws on perspectives from culture, language, politics, theory, orality and literature, to shine a light on the engaged creativity of women playwrights. From the trail blazing but more traditional contributions of Zulu Sofola, through to contemporary postcolonial work by Tess Osonye Onwueme, Julie Okoh, and Sefi Atta, to name just a few, the book shows the rich variety of work being produced by female Nigerian dramatists. This, the first major collection devoted to Nigerian women playwrights, will be an important resource for scholars of African theatre and performance, literature and women’s studies.By Rhiannon Davies, Lorana Bartels. 2021

statement. Victim impact statements are used in sentencing to outline the harm caused to victims. There has been little research on the impact statement experiences of sexual offence victims. This book fills this gap, examining the perspectives of six adult female victims and 15 justice professionals in Australia. This is supplemented by analysis of 100 sentencing remarks, revealing how courts use such statements in practice. This book examines victims’ experiences of preparing and submitting statements, justice professionals’ experiences of working with victims to submit statements, and the judicial use of impact statements in sentencing. It identifies an overarching lack of clarity around the purpose of impact statements, which affects the information that can be included and the way they can be used by the court. It consequently explore issues associated with balancing the expressive and instrumental purposes of such statements, and the challenges in communication between professionals and victims of crime. The findings highlight several issues with the operation of impact statement regimes. Based on these findings, the book makes recommendations to clarify such regimes, to improve communication between justice professionals and victims of crime, and to enhance the therapeutic goals of such statements. An accessible and compelling read, this book is essential reading for all those engaged with victimology, sentencing, and sexual violence.By Jody Bechtold, Alyssa Wilson. 2021

The abuse of psychoactive chemicals touches individual lives in countless ways, and clients frequently hint in therapy sessions at problems related to substance misuse. But historically, substance abuse treatment has been regarded as a separate specialty, for which students and trainees often prepare along tracks different from those leading to licensing or certification as psychotherapists. Few non-specialists feel completely competent and willing to grapple closely with the issues these clients present, in spite of the fact that such problems are quite frequent among client populations.In this book, Cynthia Glidden-Tracey lays out an integrated, holistic, and effective approach to clients' inevitably intertwined problems, which encourages all practitioners to develop skills for detecting, assessing, and addressing substance use whenever concerns about it emerge in the course of therapy. She describes the frequent co-occurrence of substance misuse and other mental health problems, reviews therapy models and current professional questions, and empowers practitioners with the latest scientific knowledge about the causes and effective treatment of addictions. Throughout, her points are grounded in rich clinical examples.By Richard H. McCuen, Brent Benda. 2006

misinterpret their symptoms as a sign of some other problem. Health care professionals who are entrusted by society to identify such problems routinely fail to do so. When addictions are recognized, they are confined to substance use, which overlooks the wide array of activities that engage people in an addictive manner. Further, when addictions are detected, they are in their most advanced and difficult to treat phases. In large part this is due to the all or none way we think about addiction; either you are addicted or not. In reality, an addiction does not emerge fully formed; what starts out as just having fun, gradually, over time, becomes a problem. To limit the devastation created by late stage addictions and reap the benefits of early detection, this book provides questionnaires that screen for a wide array of chemical and behavioral addictions at all stages of development. Much in the same way we learned the early warning signs of cancer, this book explores different ways to recognize the early and often subtle signs of addiction. Unlike cancer, where people rush to get treatment, facing an addiction is associated with guilt and ambivalence. To navigate these feelings and get help, the book provides a step-by-step guide for how to prepare the addicted person, be it oneself or someone else, to change an addiction.By Edith Hamilton. 1937
