Electrochemistry for Cultural Heritage

By: Antonio Doménech-Carbó,María Teresa Doménech-Carbó

This monograph overviews the importance of electrochemistry in the field of cultural heritage, including archaeology, conservation and restoration topics. The application of electrochemical techniques in these domains have experienced a notable growth during the last ten years, in particular with regards to the elucidation of composition, manufacturing techniques and chronology of archaeological artefacts. This book describes the application of solid state electrochemistry techniques for the use of samples at the nanogram level from paintings, metallic, ceramic, glass, glazed, wooden, and other objects, and it also includes the description of new dating procedures for archaeological objects made of these materials. It is a valuable contribution to the field of cultural heritage and will be of great interest to archaeologists, conservators and restorers as well as to physicists and chemists working on the scientific examination of works of art.

Midnight Blue: A Good Old Fashion Mystery and Love Story

By: Antonio F. Vianna

After the bodies of Sue Murphy and Steve McElroy are exhumed, a tiny needle puncture wound is found on the left arm of Steve McElroy, while signs of strangulation are evident on the neck of Sue Murphy. What previously had been reported as two independent deaths from natural causes is now being considered second-degree murders, punishable by life imprisonment. This change of opinion directly conflicts with what previously seemed to have been an unshakable premise. Were the original police investigation and medical report composed of half-truths and shadowy suppositions resulting from incompetence? Were lies purposely told to conceal the truth? Were there other suspects not investigated? What really happened? This is fiction, but is so powerful it could be real. You will admire some of the characters while despising others. When you think you’ve figured out what is going on, you realize there are other clues that dangle, screaming to be told. Then, when you add to the mix the card of love, you realize that what you thought was true no longer is. The final riddle’s answer is up to you.

Preserving Early Texas History

Essays of an Eighth-Generation South Texan

By: José Antonio López

At a time in our history where the Spanish Mexican roots of this great place we call Texas are being questioned, this third volume of selected essays is most timely. For example, if Texas history begins in 1836 as implied in mainstream Texas history, why then is everything historically old (towns, roads, rivers, mountain ranges, regions, etc.) named in Spanish? Our ancestors’ legacy is why we have a right to practice our heritage year-round; not just during Hispanic History Month. Importantly, the network of vibrant communities in New Spain connected by the Camino Real are indeed what first attracted U.S. Anglo Saxon and Northern European immigrants to Texas and the west. In remembering our ancestors, “Aquí todavía estamos, y no nos vamos”. (Here we still are and we’re not leaving.)

Running with the Moon

By: Antonio Gray

Running with the Moon

By: Antonio Gray

Many claim love can be exalted in many ways. Interestingly, Running with the Moon is an evasive and favorable collection of love poetry. As an illustration, a boy is running alongside the woods, parallel with the moon. The boy represents the challenges with love; he is growing from a boy into the stages of a man. Lets examine: when I was a child, my brother and I were constantly amazed by how the moon followed us while we were walking or even running. Still, the equivocal thoughts never cease to rattle ones mind as a child. In the adult stage, you find out its your gravitational pull. In essence, urban life, and the anger of it, is very much depicted in this book, an experience that keeps the reader guessing. With satisfaction, there is never a dull moment of poetry. Gray paints further along, even with his experiences in animal life. Running with the Moon also includes Daily Task and Gia and the Ghost.

Anaesthesia, Pain, Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine — A.P.I.C.E.

Proceedings of the 10th Postgraduate Course in Critical Care Medicine Trieste, Italy — November 13–19, 1995

By: Antonio Gullo

This critical care medicine book substantially differs from others due to the range of peculiarities that characterize it. Since it deals with acute patients in critical conditions, this is, as it were, a 'borderline'book,in the sense that it is intended for those, who, in their activity, need a continuous and in-depth interdisciplinary approach to optimize the quality of the treatments offered to critically-ill patients. This book helps to have a better understanding of the current limits of human intervention and aims at supplying updated guidelines; in particular, it is intended for those who, although having to guarantee continuity and top-quality therapies, must decide when and why the collaboration with and intervention by experts is necessary.

Sepharad

By: Antonio Muñoz Molina

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Sepharad

By: Antonio Muñoz Molina

From one of Spain's most celebrated writers, an extraordinary, inspired book--at once fiction, history, and memoir--that draws on the Sephardic diaspora, the Holocaust, and Stalin's purges to tell a twentieth-century story. Shifting seamlessly from the past to the present and following the routes of escape across countries and continents, Muñoz Molina evokes people real and imagined who come together in a richly allusive pattern--from Eugenia Ginsburg to Grete Buber-Neumann, the one on a train to the gulag, the other heading toward a Nazi concentration c& from a shoemaker and a nun who become lovers in a small Spanish town to Primo Levi bound for Auschwitz. From the well known to the virtually unknown--all of Molina's characters are voices of separation, nostalgia, love, and endless waiting. Written with clarity of vision and passion, in a style both lyrical and accessible, Sepharad makes the experience our own. A brilliant achievement.

Admiration and Awe

Morisco Buildings and Identity Negotiations in Early Modern Spanish Historiography

By: Antonio Urquízar-Herrera

This book offers the first systematic analysis of the cultural and religious appropriation of Andalusian architecture by Spanish historians during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. To date this process of Christian appropriation has generally been discussed as a phenomenon of architectural hybridisation. However, this was a period in which the construction of a Spanish national identity became a key focus of historical discourse. As a result, cultural hybridity encountered partial opposition from those seeking to establish cultural and religious homogeneity. Spain's Islamic past became a major concern in this period and historical writing served as the site for a complex negotiation of identity. Historians and antiquarians used a range of strategies to re-appropriate the meaning of medieval Islamic heritage as befitted the new identity of Spain as a Catholic monarchy and empire. On the one hand, the monuments' Islamic origin was subjected to historical revisions and re-identified as Roman or Phoenician. On the other hand, religious forgeries were invented that staked claims for buildings and cities having been founded by Christians prior to the arrival of the Muslims in Spain. Islamic stones were used as core evidence in debates that shaped the early development of archaeology, and they also became the centre of a historical controversy about the origin of Spain as a nation as well as its ecclesiastical history.

Electrochemistry of Immobilized Particles and Droplets

Experiments with Three-Phase Electrodes

By: Fritz Scholz,Uwe Schröder,Rubin Gulaboski,Antonio Doménech-Carbó

This second edition of a successful and highly-accessed monograph has been extended by more than 100 pages. It includes an enlarged coverage of applications for materials characterization and analysis. Also a more detailed description of strategies for determining free energies of ion transfer between miscible liquids is provided. This is now possible with a “third-phase strategy” which the authors explain from theoretical and practical points of view. The book is still the only one detailing strategies for solid state electroanalysis. It also features the specific potential of the techniques to use immobilized particles (for studies of solid materials) and of immobilized droplets of immiscible liquids for the purpose of studying the three-phase electrochemistry of these liquids. This also includes studies of ion transfer between aqueous and immiscible non-aqueous liquids. The bibliography of all published papers in this field of research has been expanded from 318 to now 444 references in this second edition. Not only are pertinent references provided at the end of each chapter, but the complete list of the cited literature is also offered as a separate chapter for easy reference.

Writing in the Air

Heterogeneity and the Persistence of Oral Tradition in Andean Literatures

By: Antonio Cornejo Polar

Originally published in 1994, Writing in the Air is one of the most significant books of modern Latin American literary and cultural criticism. In this seminal work, the influential Latin American literary critic Antonio Cornejo Polar offers the most extended articulation of his efforts to displace notions of hybridity or "mestizaje" dominant in Latin American cultural studies with the concept of heterogeneity: the persistent interaction of cultural difference that cannot be resolved in synthesis. He reexamines encounters between Spanish and indigenous Andean cultural systems in the New World from the Conquest into the 1980s. Through innovative readings of narratives of conquest and liberation, homogenizing nineteenth- and twentieth-century discourses, and contemporary Andean literature, he rejects the dominance of the written word over oral literature. Cornejo Polar decenters literature as the primary marker of Latin American cultural identity, emphasizing instead the interlacing of multiple narratives that generates the heterogeneity of contemporary Latin American culture.
