Esta tesis es exponente de una trayectoria en la que se aborda la participación de las personas mayores como elemento central para que las sociedades se adapten al envejecimiento. La relevancia de las prácticas participativas se argumenta a partir de tres ejes: a) las concepciones sociales del envejecimiento que permiten situar los fundamentos de las políticas y sus expresiones, las cuales se concretan a través de una variedad de soportes y acciones; b) la expresión plural y diversa de la participación de las personas mayores en su cotidianeidad y el reconocimiento de las singularidades en la expresión de sus voces; y, c) el acercamiento propositivo a la participación articulada en el entorno local, utilizando como marco de referencia la propuesta de Ciudades Amigas de las Personas Mayores formulada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Asimismo, el compendio de artículos presentados abarca diferentes líneas en relación al envejecimiento y la participación, articuladas en los ejes anteriormente mencionados. La primera, analiza la función de la participación de las personas mayores en una sociedad que envejece. La necesidad de comprender el binomio envejecimiento-cambio requiere la aplicación de enfoques que sean conectivos y dinámicos a fin de captar tanto las conexiones entre el envejecimiento y las diferentes esferas de la vida cotidiana como las transformaciones en los comportamientos y en las formas de vida. La segunda línea examina las prácticas sociales de las mujeres mayores que ocupan posiciones de responsabilidad en asociaciones de distinto tipo desde la perspectiva del envejecimiento activo y aporta información acerca de cómo ellas conciben su actividad cuando ocupan posiciones formales de poder, cuáles son las actividades que realizan y en qué condiciones, así como sobre la relación entre el trayecto vital y el ejercicio de funciones directivas. La tercera línea muestra que en la participación social de las mujeres mayores se enlazan las esferas pública y privada, ofreciendo un claro ejemplo de estrategias de transformación social. Ellas cuestionando su cotidianeidad muestran fortalezas alejadas de una visión deficitaria del envejecimiento. Esta visión se contrasta con la que proporcionan los profesionales que, si bien reconocen las aportaciones de las mujeres en la transformación de los centros de personas mayores, no se implican en la promoción de su empoderamiento. Las conclusiones sostienen la idea de que solo revisando los esquemas con los que operamos tendremos la oportunidad de avanzar en la adaptación de nuestra sociedad al envejecimiento. Este, no puede entenderse ajeno a los cambios sociales, económicos, culturales y tecnológicos que estamos viviendo desde los primeros años del siglo XXI. Avanzar en formas de participación inclusiva demanda revisar nuestras concepciones de manera que la heterogeneidad sea reconocida. La superación del eje autonomía funcional- dependencia favorece una apertura a la participación de las personas cuando necesitan apoyos y cuidados. Finalmente, los espacios de proximidad y las interacciones significativas emergen como condiciones favorables al ejercicio plural de ciudadanía.

The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

This volume provides an unparalleled exploration of ethics and museum practice, considering the controversies and debates which surround key issues such as provenance, ownership, cultural identity, environmental sustainability and social engagement. Using a variety of case studies which reflect the internal realities and daily activities of museums as they address these issues, from exhibition content and museum research to education, accountability and new technologies, Museums, Ethics and Cultural Heritage enables a greater understanding of the role of museums as complex and multifaceted institutions of cultural production, identity-formation and heritage preservation. Benefitting from ICOM’s unique position in the museum world, this collection brings a global range of academics and professionals together to examine museums ethics from multiple perspectives. Providing a more complete picture of the diverse activities now carried out by museums, Museums, Ethics and Cultural Heritage will appeal to practitioners, academics and students alike.

Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

Superb general account.' Times Literary Supplement The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.
