Google Scholar

When you want to find academic information I recommend the google scholar site. In this website you will find papers, books and documents of basic sciences, social sciences, literature, among many others. I study sociology and permanently we have to look for similar research. These investigations help us to get some idea, for background or to follow a thread of research. In Google scholar documents are generally indexed and belong to research centers and universities around the world. One of the many pro's is that you can find research in many languages. A counter is that there are not many complete books. In general, Google scholar is a powerful search engine for academic content. You can also refine your search by year, relevance and language. Although the search engine is quite powerful you will not find everything here and there are other portals associated with various databases. Although the site is quite complete, it does not have everything either. You will not find any relevant books either, the strong point of the site is the papers. Do not think it is a library but it is a good search engine for research.

My experience with the blog

A few years ago I made a blog and shared things to talk but I closed it because I was not very motivated by the format. But this time it was different because having a theme to post with several colleagues the dynamic changes. First because you have to write in English, which adds an extra difficulty in writing and reading. Writing a common theme among classmates makes it entertaining because you discover things that in general are not discussed much. Writing in English implies that you have to think a lot more about what you want to say, which also makes you wonder better what you want to write. In relation to the photos, in some post it was difficult to choose an image that synthesized what was written. When reviewing my post I also realize that I am a little obsessed with the guitar, is that I love her! jajajaj In general I think it has been a very good pedagogic exercise and also useful to go letting go of writing in English. I have felt very comfortable writing this and the ...

Roger Waters in Santiago 2007

In this new post, I will write about the best concert I've ever been to. In my life I have attended several quite good concerts. But the first one I went is my favorite and the most beloved, I mean the concert "The dark side of the moon " by Roger Waters. The concert was at the National Stadium on March 14, 2007.  At that time I was 22 year old and I was studying in Valparaiso. Roger Waters was a member of the English rock band Pink Floyd, composing much of the band's lyrics and songs. "The dark side of the moon" is a trascendental album in rock music, and is considered by many critics as the best rock album of all time. The concert was incredible. Before it started people were very restless and excited. There were people of all ages. The concert began and the stadium vibrated, one classic theme after another, played with mastery. The sound was incredible and the lights and special effects were worthy of any Pink Floyd concert. I remember that ...
