EL MÁS IMPORTANTE PENSADOR DEL SIGLO XX EN UNA BÚSQUEDA INTELIGENTE Y EMOTIVA DE LA RAZÓN HISTÓRICA DEL PERÚ Pieza representativa de la monumental obra de Jorge Basadre Grohmann, este volumen de artículos y ensayos, aparecidos en diarios y revistas del pais y el extranjero, es uno de los mejores esfuerzos intelectuales del siglo pasado por comprender, interpretar y definir la esencia del desarrollo historico del Peru.Entre sus paginas el autor ejerce un llamado para la conformacion de "una conciencia de la patria y de la integracion nacional". Lo hace procurando dirigir su discurso al ciudadano, en especial a los educadores y las nuevas generaciones, en quienes cifra el destino de la nacion. A ambos los conmina a pensar el Peru como una continuidad que atraviesa las epocas y los periodos y se proyecta generoso siempre hacia el futuro, lejos de los compartimentos estancos propios del sistema educativo, asi como del "eruditismo infertil" y de las luchas fratricidas. En suma, una apuesta por el si, por la promesa democratica, por la integracion del territorio y sus habitantes, incluso a pesar de "la barata retorica electoral" y los reveses del siglo XIX.Meditaciones sobre el destino historico del Peru es un conjunto de textos de esmerado rigor pedagogico y filosofico, en el que abunda la lucidez y el optimismo. De alli que este libro resulte insoslayable para entender, aun hoy, por que debemos buscar el bien comun por encima de nuestras diferencias politicas, sociales y culturales. estas Meditaciones son el sustento de la obra de Basadre, los planos de la catedral. Aqui estan sus motivaciones y esperanzas, sus juicios mas generales, las leyes y axiomas del sistema basadriano.Alberto Vergara

Description of the goal of the e-book: present a critical and alternative approach in relation to Mansons book, seeking to stimulate further reflection on the topic and offer new perspectives to readers.The book "The Subtle Art of Liging the F*dse" by Mark Manson has become a great sales success, presenting a unique and unusable approach to achieving a better life. With his irreverent and stripped style, Manson proposes a strategy that involves basically failing to care about things that arent worth it and focus on the important stuff.However, although it has won many readers and fans, Mansons approach has been the subject of criticism for being simplistic and shallow in some respects. It is rightly with the aim of presenting a critical and alternative vision in relation to Mansons book that this e-book was created.Over the next few pages, we will present a detailed analysis of each of the main points of Mansons approach, looking to show its limitations and flaws, as well as present new perspectives and more complete approaches to a better life.Our goal is not to undeserving Mansons oeuvre, but rather to stimulate further reflection on the topic, offering readers a more critical and comprehensive view on how to live a more full and satisfying life. We hope that this e-book will be a valuable source of insights and reflections for all those who wish to achieve a better life, in a more healthy, realistic and complete way.

Childhood obesity is a growing public health problem involving excessive accumulation of body fat in children and adolescents. This condition is one of the most pressing concerns today, given its substantial impact on the health and well-being of younger generations. This chapter will discuss the definition and prevalence of childhood obesity, as well as highlight the importance of the topic in the context of public health.Definition and Prevalence of Childhood ObesityChildhood obesity is characterized by excess body weight that is associated with health risks. It is often assessed using the body mass index (BMI), which takes into account the relationship between weight and height. When the BMI of a child or adolescent is above the established limits for their age group, they are considered obese. However, it is worth mentioning that childhood obesity is not just an aesthetic problem, but a health issue that is closely linked to a number of medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. It has become a global phenomenon, affecting both developed and developing countries. The transition from less healthy eating patterns, combined with a sedentary lifestyle and constant exposure to ultra-processed foods , contributed to the spread of this problem. Childhood obesity rates vary by region and population, but in many places, the numbers are alarming and indicate a public health crisis.Importance of the Topic and Its Relevance to Public HealthChildhood obesity should not be underestimated as its implications go far beyond individual health concerns. It has a profound impact on communities, health systems and the broader economy. Obese children are at greater risk of becoming obese adults , increasing the chances of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases. This puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, consuming valuable resources that could be allocated elsewhere.In addition, childhood obesity also influences social and emotional issues. Obese children often face discrimination, bullying and low self-esteem , which can hinder their psychosocial development. This can have lasting effects throughout life, affecting quality of life and productive participation in society.In light of these challenges, addressing childhood obesity has become a global priority. The need for effective preventive interventions, nutritional education programs, promotion of physical activity and changes in public policies is crucial to reverse this worrying trend. This book will explore these issues in detail, providing insights into the underlying causes, consequences , and multidisciplinary approaches that can be taken to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic comprehensively and effectively.

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by excessive excess body fat, which can have effects on physical and emotional health. In the contemporary world, obesity has become a global epidemic, affecting people of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds. Understanding obesity and its intrinsic relationship to nutrition is critical to effectively addressing this issue.Definition of Obesity and its CausesObesity is defined by the body mass index (BMI), a measure that relates an individuals weight to height. A BMI of 30 or more indicates obesity. However, obesity is not just a matter of aesthetics. It is associated with a number of serious health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea and various forms of cancer.The causes of obesity are multifactorial and complex. They involve the interaction between genetic, environmental, behavioral and metabolic factors. The abundant availability of high-calorie foods rich in vitamins and sugars, along with a sedentary lifestyle, are the main factors that have created for the rise in obesity rates. Additionally, individual metabolic issues and hormonal imbalances can also play a role in predisposing to obesity.Importance of Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of ObesityNutrition plays a crucial role in both preventing and treating obesity. The relationship between food consumption and weight gain is direct, as excess calories consumed are stored as body fat. Therefore, taking a balanced approach to diet is essential.A balanced diet consists of providing the body with the nutrients it needs for proper function, while controlling total caloric intake. This involves a proper mix of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and vitamins, as well as taking in essential vitamins and minerals.When considering obesity prevention and treatment, it is important to take a long-term approach. Extremely restrictive or drastic diets can result in temporary weight loss, but they are often unsustainable and can lead to the accordion effect. Instead, the focus should be on promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyle changes, including conscious food choices and regular physical activity.In summary, obesity is a global challenge that affects the health and well-being of many people. Nutrition plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of obesity, and a balanced, long-term approach is needed to achieve lasting results. Throughout this ebook, we will explore in detail how nutrition can be a powerful ally in the journey to combat obesity and the search for a healthier lifestyle.

Presentation of the objectives of the book and the proposal to offer an alternative perspective to "The Power of Habit."Welcome to the book "Unveiling Habits: An Alternative Approach to The Power of Habit Book." In this work, we embark on a journey of exploring and questioning traditional theories about habits, presenting an alternative perspective to that proposed by the author Charles Duhigg in his acclaimed book.Since the publication of "The Power of Habit," many readers have been inspired by Duhiggs ideas about how habits shape our lives and how we can transform them to achieve success and happiness. However, while we recognize the merit of your contributions, we also believe that it is essential to question and deepen the understanding of the complex mechanisms that govern our automatic behaviors.Our approach is not simply to challenge Duhiggs work for contesting. On the contrary, we seek to expand knowledge on the subject of habits and to provide readers with a more complete and refined view of how they are formed, how they are maintained and how they can be modified.Our goal is to go beyond the simplistic idea that all habits follow a pattern of trigger-routine-reward, highlighting that habits are much more complex than this formula. We will investigate the influence of the social and cultural context on the formation of habits, as well as the importance of self-awareness for the change of entrenched behaviours.As we dive into this journey, we will seek support in recent research on neuroscience, behavioral psychology and other relevant disciplines. We will be looking for a deeper understanding of the brain connections that support habits, as well as identifying effective strategies for the adoption and maintenance of positive habits.Throughout the next chapters, we invite you to reflect with us and question the established premises without fear of exploring new horizons. Our intention is to offer a complementary rather than competitive approach to Duhiggs work, providing readers with a comprehensive and grounded view of the habits that govern our lives.We hope that, at the end of this journey, you will feel empowered to understand better the mechanics of habits and to make conscious choices that lead you to a healthier, more productive and satisfying life. Accompany us in discovering the nuances and secrets behind habits, and together we will unravel the power that they really exercise in our lives.

Estas páginas son para quienes han comprobado azorados cómo una izquierda que hasta ayer luchaba por la libertad de expresión en Occidente hoy justifica la censura en nombre del no ofender; esa que ayer comia curas y ahora se alia con el oscurantismo religioso en detrimento del laicismo para oprimir a la mujer y a los homosexuales; esa que a la liberacion sexual responde con un nuevo puritanismo, que de la lucha contra el racismo ha pasado a alimentar y a minimizar su forma mas letal en las calles y en los templos de Europa y de las Americas: el antisemitismo. Estos capitulos son un intento por comprender las razones, los mecanismos y las consecuencias encerrados en esta traicion. Alejo Schapire tiene la lucidez y la valentia para descubrir y señalar los desvios de esta izquierda en un ensayo tan documentado como audaz. El analisis de la situacion actual alerta sobre la tentacion totalitaria y el relativismo cultural que acechan desde el progresismo biempensante, pero que tambien tienen su correlato en el auge del populismo nacionalista y de extrema derecha. Un libro imprescindible que traspone rotulos y categorias en el intento de defender las ideas de manera coherente, sin traiciones.
