Academic Language/Literacy Strategies for Adolescents

A "How-To" Manual for Educators

By: Debra L. Cook Hirai,Irene Borrego,Emilio Garza,Carl T. Kloock

Fast-paced, practical, and innovative, this text for pre-service and in-service teachers features clear, easily accessible lessons and professional development activities to improve the delivery of academic language/literacy education across the content areas in junior/middle school and high school classrooms. Numerous hands-on tools and techniques demonstrate the effectiveness of content-area instruction for students in a wide variety of school settings, particularly English language learners, struggling readers, and other special populations of students. Based on a strong professional development model the authors have been instrumental in designing, Academic Language/Literacy Strategies for Adolescents addresses: motivation attributes of academic language vocabulary: theory and practice reading skills development grammar and writing. A wealth of charts, graphs, and lesson plans give clear examples of academic language/literacy strategies in action. The appendices – a key component of the practical applications developed in the text – include a glossary, exemplary lessons that address key content areas, and a Grammar Handbook. In this era of increased accountability, coupled with rapid demographic change and challenges to traditional curricula and pedagogical methods, educators will find this book to be a great resource.

Beyond the Latino World War II Hero

The Social and Political Legacy of a Generation

By: Maggie Rivas-Rodríguez,Emilio Zamora

Maggie Rivas-Rodríguez 's edited volume Mexican Americans & World War II brought pivotal stories from the shadows, contributing to the growing acknowledgment of Mexican American patriotism as a meaningful force within the Greatest Generation. In this latest anthology, Rivas-Rodríguez and historian Emilio Zamora team up with scholars from various disciplines to add new insights. Beyond the Latino World War II Hero focuses on home-front issues and government relations, delving into new arenas of research and incorporating stirring oral histories. These recollections highlight realities such as post-traumatic stress disorder and its effects on veterans' families, as well as Mexican American women of this era, whose fighting spirit inspired their daughters to participate in Chicana/o activism of the 1960s and 1970s. Other topics include the importance of radio as a powerful medium during the war and postwar periods, the participation of Mexican nationals in World War II, and intergovernmental negotiations involving Mexico and Puerto Rico. Addressing the complexity of the Latino war experience, such as the tandem between the frontline and the disruption of the agricultural migrant stream on the home front, the authors and contributors unite diverse perspectives to harness the rich resources of an invaluable oral history.

Imprints of Jesus of Nazareth

The Veil and the Shroud

By: Liberato De Caro,Emilio Matricciani

The book is a collection of papers – now up-dated – on the most important relics of Christianity: (a) the Veil of Manoppello, on which the face of Jesus of Nazareth alive is impressed; (b) the Shroud of Turin, on which the full body of Jesus dead is impressed. Nobody knows how the images were impressed 2000 years ago. The reader may not agree that they relate to Jesus of Nazareth – known to Christians as Jesus Christ – and that they are 2000 years old, just like biased scholars continue to deny, despite the overwhelming, largely documented proof found on the Shroud and now also on the Veil, which is scientifically examined here for the first time. Based on these papers, we dare to conclude that the man depicted in both relics is Jesus of Nazareth, who was born, very likely, on 6 January 1 AD and died on Good Friday 23 April 34 AD.

A fuego lento

A fuego lento

By: Emilio Bobadilla

La obra maestra del escritor cubano Emilio Bobadilla como narrador es A fuego lento. La primera parte de la novela transcurre en Ganga, inspirada en la ciudad colombiana de Barranquilla, donde Bobadilla vivió algunos meses en 1898. El cuadro que traza A fuego lento es esperpéntico. Por entonces Barranquilla era un puerto principal de Colombia y era llamada "La Nueva York de Colombia", "La Nueva Barcelona" o "La Nueva Alejandría". Tenía varios cines, y las compañías de ópera italianas y de teatro españolas se presentaban allí. A ese lugar llega el doctor Eustaquio Baranda, un exiliado dominicano que ha estudiado medicina en París. El personaje atrae a las poderes locales, los mismos que después lo aborrecen despechados porque ha conquistado los favores de Alicia, deseada por uno de los prohombres lugareños. Baranda se va a París con Alicia. Y allí se consume su vida en el apetito social de Alicia —exaltado por sus ambiciones y la influencia provinciana de los antiguos conocidos de Ganga—. Muere a pesar de la presencia balsámica de una francesa fina, culta, delicada y distinguida a la que el doctor Baranda renuncia por no tener el valor de separarse de Alicia.

Four Brothers

By: Emilio Alberto Sarabia

Ramón Medellín was fortunate to be able to leave the politics of Porfirio Díaz’s regime in the capital for a fertile valley in the state of Guanajuato, where he learned to be a rancher and support his family. But he couldn’t avoid the impending violence forever, and soon the Revolution arrives at his doorstep, with federales fighting rebels in his peaceful valley. Soon, his sons are scattered to the winds, seeking their fortunes during a time when bandits—whether government troops or rebels—roamed the land. Each young man struggles with the opportunities and dangers thrown in his path, which ultimately leads north to the United States: Socorro is detained in a slave labor camp and nearly loses his life, José ends up in Europe as the First World War breaks out and Felipe meets the love of his life in San Antonio while searching for his missing brothers. Ultimately, the family is reunited, building lives for themselves and their families in Houston, Texas, and becoming entrepreneurs and pillars of the Mexican-American community. Set in war-torn Mexico and segregated Texas in the early twentieth century, Sarabia’s debut novel depicts the experiences of many Mexican Americans whose forebears left the chaos and violence of the Mexican Revolution in search of a better life in the U.S.

Metaheuristics Algorithms in Power Systems

By: Erik Cuevas,Emilio Barocio Espejo,Arturo Conde Enríquez

This book discusses the use of efficient metaheuristic algorithms to solve diverse power system problems, providing an overview of the various aspects of metaheuristic methods to enable readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the field and of conducting studies on specific metaheuristic algorithms related to power-system applications. By bridging the gap between recent metaheuristic techniques and novel power system methods that benefit from the convenience of metaheuristic methods, it offers power system practitioners who are not metaheuristic computation researchers insights into the techniques, which go beyond simple theoretical tools and have been adapted to solve important problems that commonly arise. On the other hand, members of the metaheuristic computation community learn how power engineering problems can be translated into optimization tasks, and it is also of interest to engineers and application developers. Further, since each chapter can be read independently, the relevant information can be quickly found. Power systems is a multidisciplinary field that addresses the multiple approaches used for design and analysis in areas ranging from signal processing, and electronics to computational intelligence, including the current trend of metaheuristic computation.

Decentralizing Revenue in Latin America

Why and How

This book analyzes the reasons for lackluster performance selected Latin American countries in mobilizing subnational own-source revenues and explores policy options to increase these revenues as efficiently and equitably as possible. Seven case studies--Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela--span a wide range of characteristics, including federal and unitary countries, different geographical sizes, levels of economic development, and degrees of revenue decentralization. In this book, subnational governments include both intermediate and local levels of government, which are distinguished in the case studies. Together, the case studies provide a reasonably representative picture of the challenges faced throughout Latin America in mobilizing subnational own-source revenues in a manner that supports equitable growth.
