Sir Karl Raimund Popper (1902-1994) fue uno de los filósofos más influyentes del siglo XX. Nacido en Austria y nacionalizado británico, su obra dejó una profunda huella en disciplinas como la filosofía de la ciencia y la filosofía política. Entre sus aportaciones más destacadas se encuentran el desarrollo del falsacionismo como criterio de cientificidad y su férrea defensa de la democracia liberal frente a los totalitarismos. Además, Popper fue protagonista de algunos de los debates filosóficos más significativos de su tiempo, reflexionando sobre temas como el progreso científico, la naturaleza de la probabilidad o la tensión entre sistemas políticos abiertos y cerrados. Diversos investigadores e investigadoras examinan, con rigor y claridad, las múltiples facetas de su pensamiento y ofrecen una guía tanto para adentrarse por primera vez en su obra como para profundizar en aspectos específicos de su propuesta: cuestiones de gran relevancia como la demarcación entre ciencia y pseudociencia, el criterio de progreso científico, el papel de la predicción en la contrastación de hipótesis, las controversias en torno a la teoría cuántica y el modelo de organización de la actividad científica. No solo se recogen las principales propuestas de Popper, sino que también se estudia su influencia en debates y propuestas contemporáneas.

La obra de Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) es sin duda una de las empresas creadoras más audaces, originales y valiosas de la literatura alemana del siglo XX. La obsesión, la locura, el crimen, la descomposición en suma, bien sea de mentes, de existencias o legados en esa Austria ya rural, ya urbana, pero siempre alucinada y tenebrosa, tan denostada por el autor, son el sustrato de estas cinco piezas maestras («La gorra», «¿Es una comedia? ¿Es una tragedia?», «Midland en Stilfs», «Ungenach» y «Watten») que integran el libro. Selección y traducción de Miguel Sáenz

This two-volume book considers from a risk perspective the current phenomenon of the new Alt-Right authoritarianism and whether it represents ‘real’ democracy or an unacceptable hegemony potentially resulting in elected dictatorships and abuses as well as dysfunctional government. Contributing authors represent an eclectic range of disciplines, including cognitive, organizational and political psychology, sociology, history, political science, international relations, linguistics and discourse analysis, and risk analysis. The Alt-Right threats and risk exposures, whether to democracy, human rights, law and order, social welfare, racial harmony, the economy, national security, the environment, and international relations, are identified and analysed across a number of selected countries. While Vol. 1 (ISBN 978-3-8382-1153-4) focusses on the US, Vol. 2 illuminates the phenomenon in the United Kingdom, Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Hungary, and Russia. Potential strategies to limit the Alt-Right threat are proposed.

<div> “This timely book provides insight into the changing role of the ‘hospital’ in the face of technological, organizational innovation and ever-tightening health budgets.” </div> <div> James Barlow, Imperial College Business School, UK </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> “This book covers various relevant aspects of the hospital in different states and contexts. Underlining the importance of business models for future hospitals, this publication presents models of care from a historic and a current perspective.  All authors possess a deep insight into different health care systems, not only as scholars but as experts working for world-renowned health policy institutions such as the World Health Organization, the World Bank or the European Observatory for Health Systems.” </div> <div> Siegfried Walch, Management Center Innsbruck, Austria </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <div> “For an organisation like mine, representing those involved in the strategic planning of healthcare infrastructure, this book provides invaluable insights into what really matters – now and for the future – in the complex and contentious field of hospital development.” </div> <div> Jonathan Erskine, European Health Property Network, Netherlands </div> </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> This book seeks to reframe current policy discussions on hospitals. Healthcare services turn expensive economic resources—people, capital, pharmaceuticals, energy, materials—into care and cure. Hospitals concentrate the use and the cost of these resources, particularly highly-trained people, expensive capital, and embedded technologies. But other areas of health, such as public health and primary care, seem to attract more attention and affection, at least within the health policy community. How to make sense of this paradox? Hospitals choose, or are assigned, to deliver certain parts of care packages. They are organised to do this via “business models”. These necessarily incorporate models of care – the processes of dealing with patients. The activity needs to be governed, in the widest senses. Rational decisions need to be taken about both the care and the resources to be used. This book pulls these elements together, to stimulate a debate. </div>

1775. Commissioner Nicolas Le Floch is on a diplomatic mission to Vienna, ostensibly to deliver a bust of Marie Antoinette to her mother, the Empress Maria Theresa. His real task, however, is to investigate the breakdown of French secret intelligence in Austria. The city is a hotbed of plotting - and Nicolas only just survives an attempt on his life.On his return to France, Paris is in turmoil. The soaring price of grain and bread is causing widespread social unrest, and Nicolas' first police case is the unexplained death of a baker. Could it be that events in the French capital are somehow connected to his experiences in Vienna....?
