Relato sobre la génesis y desarrollo de la primera labor apostólica corporativa del Opus Dei, que ayuda a entender su mensaje y la veloz expansión de estas iniciativas por los cinco continentes. Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer funda el Opus Dei en Madrid, ocho años antes de que estalle la guerra civil española. Se encuentra en Madrid solo, con veintiséis años, la gracia de Dios y buen humor -solía decir- y un mensaje en las manos entonces desconcertante: la llamada universal a la santidad en la vida ordinaria. En este relato el autor analiza la primera actividad de apostolado corporativo del Opus Dei, impulsada directamente por su fundador: un libro que ayuda a conocer las claves de su espiritualidad, extendida años más tarde por todo el mundo.

"Although an entirely unknown part of higher education worldwide, there are literally hundreds of universities that are owned/managed by families around the world. These institutions are an important subset of private universities-the fastest growing segment of higher education worldwide. Family-owned or managed higher education institutions (FOMHEI) are concentrated in developing and emerging economies, but also exist in Europe and North America. This book is the first to shed light on these institutions-there is currently no other source on this topic Who owns a university? Who is in charge of its management and leadership? How are decisions made? The answers to these key questions would normally be governments or non-profit boards of trustees, or recently, for-profit corporations. There is another category of post-secondary institutions that has emerged in the past half-century challenging the time-honored paradigm of university ownership. Largely unknown, as well as undocumented, is the phenomenon of family-owned or managed higher education institutions. In Asia and Latin America, for example, FOMHEIs have come to comprise a significant segment of a number of higher education systems, as seen in the cases of Thailand, South Korea, India, Brazil and Colombia. We have identified FOMHEIs on all continents-ranging from well-regarded comprehensive universities and top-level specialized institutions to marginal schools. They exist both in the non-profit and for-profit sectors".
