This book offers a comprehensive overview of the rhythms of contemporary industrial football in its context: Nepotism, repression of sexuality, religious indoctrination, frequent corruption, sectarian educational centres and antisocial networks. The book proposes alternatives for a more pluralistic football and reflects on social transformation, arguing that sport must be understood in its ideological context. In short, Futbología is a critical work that invites reflection on the values and structure of modern football, proposing a comprehensive analysis and the search for a more just and democratic model.

The United Nations currently prioritises the need to transcend the concept of occupational health as mere occupational risk prevention, taking on objectives such as worker well-being and care for the environment. It argues that an organisation must take a holistic approach in order to be responsible and sustainable.. In this sense, the triple bottom line model highlights the three Ps: people, planet, profit, where the balance between these three objectives is essential to achieve effective, efficient and sustainable management. This report places special emphasis on the issue of gender and age management in social economy organisations, especially cooperatives.

This book is the result of the synergy between professionals and academics specialising in active ageing, empowerment in adulthood and health promotion. The work offers a multifaceted view of this new reality, ranging from personal preparation for retirement to the role that older people play in their community through volunteering and social activism. It prioritises health education as a facilitator of learning and the consolidation of skills that promote well-being. These teachings are equally valuable for both older people and informal carers who deal with situations of frailty. It advocates a multidisciplinary approach that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities of the ageing process in contemporary society.

This book pays tribute to a generation of women whose knowledge, skills and efforts create everyday food strategies within the context of the popular conception of the Mediterranean diet. Often overlooked, older women are a fundamental pillar in preserving our cultural and gastronomic heritage. It is not just a matter of feeding the family, but also of organising, calculating, weighing up and, above all, sharing. Faced with the socio-economic, cultural and health threats posed by the McDonaldisation of our lifestyles, the women of the Casablanca neighbourhood (Zaragoza) explain, among many other things, what they think, how they make ends meet, what their culinary preferences are, what they eat, where they shop, who they eat with, what their diets and celebratory meals are like and, most importantly, what could be done to improve our diet. The study, carried out using a combination of quantitative and qualitative strategies, constitutes a psychosocial approach to the creation of dietary strategies.

Violence is an issue associated with human beings since the dawn of history. Used as a method of subjugation and power, it has a particular impact on women, who suffer it in its many different forms. The solution to this social scourge is outlined through the promotion of conflict resolution using social and problem-solving skills as well as an education based on respect and empathy. This book has been developed by the Well-being and Social Capital research group, with the help of various collaborators and experts in the field of violence in its various forms. Its coordinator, Miguel Ángel Cañete, is a member of the group and an expert in psychological work with victims of gender-based violence.

The Japanese community residing in Spain is a clear example of the evolution of migratory phenomena in a European context of economic crisis and questioning of the welfare state. From the first migratory flows in the late 1970s to the present day, both their demographic composition (feminisation of immigration) and their migratory objectives, social networks and role in the host society have been changing.
This work aims to take the first steps towards gaining empirical knowledge about the social reality surrounding Japanese people who emigrate to Spain. It also seeks to address the phenomenon of migration as a normalising process, far removed from stereotypes that stigmatise the immigrant population.

Rather than industrialised texts in academic format intended for high-impact journals, even if their impact is minimal, this collective book presents the reflections and real experiences of coaches, physical trainers and psychologists working on football. For this reason, the different chapters do not contain lengthy digressions and the theoretical reflections are kept to a minimum. We have no doubt that the texts will serve as a reference for professionals who want to carry out mental preparation in this sport. Books like this contribute to the development of knowledge in the field and to the definitive establishment of psychology in the world of football.

The texts collected in this book allow us to address the relationship between food and culture at different levels. They range from more general topics that lead us to reflect on current phenomena with broad social implications (biotechnologies, genetically modified foods, migration, etc.) to more specific reflections on aspects such as food preferences, language and idiomatic expressions and the history of specific products. Additionally, they address aspects that particularly affect individuals as social beings (gender, age, medicine, eating disorders, etc.). After all, one thing is clear: eating means much more than providing the body with the nutrients it needs to function.

‘Views and voices of immigration’ aims to raise awareness of the plurality of scenarios behind the apparent and narrow concept of migration. It reflects on provenances, origins, disciplines and perspectives, highlighting the cross-cutting nature of the phenomenon of migration. This ranges from food, the economy, stereotypes and legal issues to words, literature, cinema and advertising. Immigration can indeed be found in everything because it reflects what it means to be human: searching, inquiring and striving to improve.

‘Bodies that speak’ is a collective work that aims to bring together a critical and applied vision of how we understand the body, with its social representations and influence on the definition of gender and identity. Research into the body and gender from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective helps us to understand and assess the evolution of perceptions and behaviours, both individual and collective. It is also a privileged way to delve into a myriad of issues: current eating habits, the consequences of migration processes, advertising, the media and eating disorders. These are some of the topics covered in this book in relation to the body, offering insight into the many social dimensions in which its meanings develop.
