    Critiquing the teaching and learning of English in Chile: Challenges and opportunities for transformative practice
    (Taylor and Francis, 2024) Veliz, L.; Barahona, Malba; Darwin, S.
    This edited volume challenges the hegemonic values and practices that have shaped the contemporary state of English language education in Chile, offering a space for a transformative vision that prioritises pedagogical practices grounded in (g)localised methodologies and epistemologies. Providing insights into English language teacher education and the pedagogical practices that teachers enact in diverse contexts, chapters delve into a critical scrutiny of prevalent issues in ELT education and explore new opportunities for innovation, reconsideration and reconceptualisation of policy and practice. Motivated by the drive for transformative, context-sensitive and culturally relevant practice, contributors critically engage with the socio-cultural and socio-political context of Chilean English language researchers, offering a systematic analysis of the profound effects of entrenched neoliberal ideologies in education, as well as how these act to influence and shape teaching practices, policies, and outcomes. In highlighting the inherent limitations and inequities perpetuated by neoliberal policies, contributors offer alternative perspectives and solutions designed to promote more equitable, inclusive, and socially just second language educational practices. Providing a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between Chile's political history, socio-economic evolution, and the rise of English language education, this book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of applied linguistics, teaching and learning English as a foreign/second language, and initial English language teacher education. Policy makers working in ELT in the Chilean context may also find the volume of use.

    Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Tribology
    (CRC Press, 2024) Berman, Diana; Rosenkranz, Andreas; Marian, Max
    © 2025 Diana Berman, Andreas Rosenkranz, and Max Marian.Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Tribology introduces the rudiments of engineering surfaces and teaches the basic phenomena of interacting surfaces in relative motion, major modes of friction and wear, and theories of contact evolution and lubrication. Fundamental topics include friction, wear, and lubrication; surface properties and surface topography; friction of surfaces in contact; wear and surface failures; biotribology; boundary lubrication; fluid properties; hydrodynamic lubrication; bearing selection; and introductory micro- and nanotribology. This book also considers the relationship between nano- and macrotribology, rolling contacts, tribological problems in magnetic recording and electrical contacts, and monitoring and diagnosis of friction and wear. • Offers a comprehensive review of the fundamentals, providing basic information for scientists and engineers just being introduced to the tribology field • Teaches tribological methods of measurements and characterization • Includes examples of real-life tribological problems and case studies of engineering problems and solutions • Gives an overview of current advancements in the field • Features end-of-chapter problems, solutions to exercises, and accompanying video content for reinforcement of material This textbook is written for students taking courses in tribology and lubrication, as well as surface engineering. It will also appeal to scientists and engineers who are new to tribology. The text also offers sample laboratory demonstrations available to qualifying adopting professors.

    Claudio Gay: el científico que delineo chile en el siglo XIX
    (Sicomoro Editorial, 2024) Sagredo Baeza, Rafael
    En este libro, Rafael Sagredo Baeza explora la destacada labor del naturalista francés Claudio Gay (1800-1873) y su impacto en el conocimiento de Chile. Gay, quien llegó a América como corresponsal del Museo de Historia Natural de París, realizó exhaustivas exploraciones y comisiones para el Estado chileno, plasmando sus hallazgos en los treinta volúmenes de su “Historia Física y Política de Chile” (1844-1871). Su obra monumental sintetiza el conocimiento de la época y le valió honores en Europa. El libro revela el papel fundamental de Gay en la comprensión científica de Chile y en la proyección de su identidad. Gay se presenta como un modelo de científico cuyo aporte sistemático y prolongado ha dejado una huella duradera en el campo de la ciencia.
