Social Network Theory and Educational Change offers a provocative and fascinating exploration of how social networks in schools can impede or facilitate the work of education reform. Drawing on the work of leading scholars, the book comprises a series of studies examining networks among teachers and school leaders, contrasting formal and informal organizational structures, and exploring the mechanisms by which ideas, information, and influence flow from person to person and group to group. The case studies provided in the book reflect a rich variety of approaches and methodologies, showcasing the range and power of this dynamic new mode of analysis. An introductory chapter places social network theory in context and explains the basic tools and concepts, while a concluding chapter points toward new directions in the field. Taken together, they make a powerful statement: that the success or failure of education reform ultimately is not solely the result of technical plans and blueprints, but of the relational ties that support or constrain the pace, depth, and direction of change. This unique volume provides an invaluable introduction to an emerging and increasingly important field of education research.

Translation and Cognition assesses the state of the art in cognitive translation and interpreting studies by examining three important trends: methodological innovation, the evolution of research design, and the continuing integration of translation process research results with the core findings of the cognitive sciences. Several of the volume’s essays focus on fruitful new process research methods, such as eye tracking and keystroke logging that have arisen to supplement the use of think-aloud protocols. Another set of contributions investigates how some central theories, concepts, and methods from our sister disciplines of psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience can inform our understanding of translation processes and their development in novices and experts. Yet another set of essays argues that methodological innovation and integration with the cognitive sciences can lead to more robust research designs and theoretical frameworks to explain the intricacies of cognitive processing during translation and interpreting. Thus, this timely volume actively demonstrates that a new theoretical and methodological consensus in cognitive translation studies is emerging, promising to greatly improve the quality, verifiability, and generalizability of translation process research.

L’origen d’aquesta Miscel·lània és sens dubte motiu d’alegria. La iniciativa sorgeix d’un grup d’amics, a finals de l’any 2010. El llibre vol ser un sentit homenatge a Salvador Tarragó, arquitecte, historiador i professor d’història de l’Enginyeria Civil a l’Escola d’Enginyers de Camins de la UPC, amb motiu de la seva jubilació. Ens referim a la trajectòria de tots aquests anys, com a investigador i professor, però, també, home d’acció, amb la iniciativa i el coratge que ha demostrat en diversos àmbits culturals i socials de Catalunya, Galícia, Andalusia, Madrid i de manera indirecta d’Amèrica Llatina. El llibre es divideix en tres apartats: Biogràfics, on es recullen els diversos reconeixements d’amics, estudiants i persones properes a Salvador al llarg de la seva trajectòria; Aportacions, articles de treballs de recerca o reflexió més personals, i finalment, Antologia de textos de Salvador Tarragó ordenats cronològicament.

Caravan, como cualquier lugar de la tierra, no es ajeno a los contrastes naturales del hombre, mas no asi a la naturaleza per se. Contrastes que mas parecen contradicciones propias del desarrollo y de la condicion humana. Las circunstancias y los hechos -cantidad de experiencia-, sin entrar en calificativos absurdos, obedecen a un destino (no como mera sancion). Ese que no da mayores posibilidades de eleccion; pero que recomienda esperanza e inutiliza la amargura, para llevar a sus protagonistas a una total justificacion de lo que no puede justificarse. Elige o no elige el hombre? Digamos, pues, que desde nuestro punto de vista y dentro de un marco de ilusiones si lo hace. Los habitantes se preocupan por vivir mejor, y eso los lleva a dos situaciones: ignorar o esperar. Dos opciones que marcan una pauta de vida.
