La musculación, o el arte de desarrollar los musculos, ha adquirido en nuestros dias un lugar de excepcion en los sistemas de entrenamiento deportivo. Sea cual sea su especialidad, el deportista consagra una parte mas o menos importante de su tiempo de trabajo a la musculacion. Por otra parte, los modelos corporales del hombre y la mujer suelen estar representados por individuos que ostentan una fuerte musculacion. Asi pues, podemos decir que la admiracion por la musculación se halla ampliamente extendida entre la población. No obstante, desarrollar las cualidades y el volumen de los musculos exige unos conocimientos anatomicos fisiologicos que el autor, Frederic Delavier, plasma en este libro. La obra describe, de forma clara y precisa, la mayoria de los movimientos de musculacion. Cada ejercicio esta representado por un dibujo de gran calidad, que permite visualizar claramente los grupos musculares implicados. Cada ilustracion se acompaña de un texto con todas la indicaciones prácticas necesarias para permitir, tanto al principiante como al atleta experimentado, disenar sus propias sesiones de entrenamiento. Su original descripcion anatomica y morfologica, asi como el rigor cientifico de sus dibujos, hacen de este libro una util herramienta de trabajo tanto para los estudiantes como para los profesores, medicos y cinesiterapeutas que la utilizaran como obra de referencia..

This volume explains why some contemporary Latin American labor-based parties adapted successfully to the challenges of neoliberalism and working class decline. It argues that loosely structured party organizations tend to be more flexible than the bureaucratic structures found in most labor-based parties. The argument is illustrated through an analysis of the Argentine (Peronist) Justicialista Party (PJ). The book shows how PJ's fluid internal structure allowed it to adapt and transform itself from a union-dominated populist party into a vehicle for carrying out radical market-oriented economic reforms..

Through nine intimate first-person narratives, Out of War tells the story of the Children's Movement for Peace, a network of organizations struggling against the forty-year civil war in Colombia. Readers will meet young people like Juan Elias, who decided he could best avenge his father's murder by fighting to end the war; Maritza, who found refuge in the peace movement after her family and friends abandoned her in the communas of Medellin; and Beto, who works for the peace he never had in his abusive home. The voices of these children are raw and real, and their stories are nothing short of inspirational. In 1996, the Children's Movement for Peace helped organize the Children's Mandate, a referendum on children's rights in Colombia. Two million children turned out to vote for their right to peace, sending the Colombian government a powerful message about its inability to control the violence within its borders. Since then, the Movement has worked to help children cope with loss, displacement, poverty, and other effects of the war. It has also taught children how to resolve conflict without fighting. The movement's work is impressive, yet Out of War is really about the individual children who lead the group. Through them, readers will learn not only about the tenuous life of children in Colombia, but about what it means to give back to your community and face adversity with true courage and hope..

Unlike most other emerging South American democracies, Venezuela has not succumbed to a successful military coup d'©tat during four decades of democratic rule. What drives armed forces to follow the orders of elected leaders? And how do emerging democracies gain that control over their military establishments? Harold Trinkunas answers these questions in an examination of Venezuela's transition to democracy following military rule and its attempts to institutionalize civilian control of the military over the past sixty years, a period that included three regime changes.

Trinkunas first focuses on the strategic choices democratizers make about the military and how these affect the internal civil-military balance of power in a new regime. He then analyzes a regime's capacity to institutionalize civilian control, looking specifically at Venezuela's failures and successes in this arena during three periods of intense change: the October revolution (1945-48), the Pact of Punto Fijo period (1958-98), and the Fifth Republic under President Hugo Ch¡vez (1998 to the present). Placing Venezuela in comparative perspective with Argentina, Chile, and Spain, Trinkunas identifies the bureaucratic mechanisms democracies need in order to sustain civilian authority over the armed forces..
