The aftermath of the Civil War saw the Ku Klux Klan founded as a white supremacist insurgency of former Confederate rebels. But the Klan saw its greatest growth in the first decades of the 20th century. By 1925, with a membership of about four million, it was established in every state of the Union.

Las affordances son las oportunidades para la acción presentes en nuestros entornos. Es, quizás, el objeto de percepción más común en nuestro día a día: percibimos los pomos de las puertas como agarrables, las mismas puertas como traspasables, las escaleras como escalables, etc. Pese a que la influencia del término está creciendo mucho debido al auge de las ciencias cognitivas corporizadas y situadas, no existe una obra de referencia en el mundo hispanohablante que presente la idea de affordance y su potencial para distintas teorías y ciencias. Este volumen, el primero en lengua castellana completamente dedicado a este tema, viene a llenar ese hueco ofreciendo a los lectores una selección de capítulos especialmente escritos para esta ocasión, en el que se incluye una introducción teórica e histórica a las affordances, varios estudios filosóficos sobre el tema y finalmente una sección con distintas aplicaciones de las affordances en diversos campos de estudio y disciplinas, desde la robótica o el arte a la biología o las ciencias sociales.
