En Busca de Un Sueño

Kenia - Junio 2007

By: Arq Francisco Montalvo Serrano

Esta es la historia de Mi Papá realizando el sueño de su vida y donde al fi n logra conseguirlo, mi Hermano Paco sabiendo de ese sueño y también apasionado de África lo logra llevar a cabo para que lo pudiera disfrutar antes de morir. Antes del viaje mi Papá nos heredó un gran cumulo de cartas escritas, su colección de piedras pintadas y barnizadas por Él, y un disco de música con todas las canciones que le gustaban con el título de "Por Si Acaso", Él siempre dijo que de la vida debería de despedirse cuando la vida le sonriera mas y en el momento en que te se sintieras más feliz y satisfecho. Ciertamente el viaje le dio la oportunidad de que la vida le sonriera como nunca lo había hecho, conoció todos los lugares que siempre soñó y tuvo el momento más feliz de su vida: el final del trayecto donde le abre los brazos a la vida y le pide que lo tomara y se lo llevara. Este libro es parte de su legado, el único libro escrito de manera coloquial, ya que tiene cuentos, novelas y poemas, fue escritor, poeta, pintor, arquitecto y bohemio. Por lo pronto les dejo este sueño cumplido para que lo vivan con Él, está lleno de anécdotas, de historias, fotografías y pensamientos de la travesía y el desenlace con un final donde nos hereda su legado y nos dice quien y como fue.

Latino/a Thought

Culture, Politics, and Society

By: Francisco Hernández Vázquez,Rodolfo D. Torres

Latino/a Thought brings together the most important writings that shape Latino consciousness, culture, and activism today. This historical anthology is unique in its presentation of cross cultural writings especially from Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban writers and political documents that shape the ideology and experience of U.S. Latinos. Students can read, first hand, the works or authors who most shaped their cultural heritage. They are guided by vivid introductions that set each article or document in its historical context and describe its relevance today. The writings touch on many themes, but are guided by this book's concern for a quest for public citizenship among all Latino populations and a better understanding of racialized populations in the U.S. today. No other book offers readers such a rich history of the Latino heritage experienced in this book in the voices and political actions whose influence reached across generations.

Modern Spain

Politics and Society since 1874

By: Francisco J. Romero Salvadó

Using a wealth of varied sources, this book is an inspiring and essential gateway to understanding the foundations of modern Spain. Francisco J. Romero Salvadó employs a chronological framework to chart the country's experience, commencing with the Restoration of the Bourbon Monarch in 1874 up to the present day. Modern Spain is a vital contribution to the study and debate of this country's history and politics. It provides a thorough, yet concise, study of nearly 150 years of tumultuous historical evolution. It examines the crisis of traditional liberal politics and the subsequent ill-fated attempts at reform through the military dictatorship headed by General Miguel Primo de Rivera and the progressive Second Republic that ensued. The outcome being three years of tragic civil war, followed by the long 40-year dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. It concludes by exploring Spain's successful and surprisingly rapid transition to democracy and the challenges that it now faces in the 21st century. Romero Salvadó uproots the many myths and blatant distortions that have often surrounded the history of Spain. By offering an analysis within a European context, he also challenges the traditional view of the exceptional character of the country, encapsulated in the motto 'Spain is different!' On the contrary, this book so convincingly contends, Spain is a perfect example to show the troubled and often violent path to modernity that western societies had to undergo in their transition from elite to mass politics.

The Art of Political Murder

Who Killed the Bishop?

By: Francisco Goldman

In this New York Times Notable Book, the Pulitzer Prize–finalist undertakes his own investigation into the murder of a Guatemalan bishop. Named a Best Book of the Year by the Washington Post Book World, the Chicago Tribune, the Economist, and the San Francisco Chronicle Two days after releasing a groundbreaking church-sponsored report implicating the military in the murders and disappearances of some two hundred thousand Guatemalan civilians, Bishop Juan Gerardi was bludgeoned to death in his garage. Gerardi was the country’s leading human rights activist, but the Church quickly realized it could not rely on police investigators or the legal system to solve the crime. Instead, Church leaders formed their own investigative team: a group of secular young men who called themselves Los Intocables—the Untouchables. Author Francisco Goldman spoke to witnesses no other reporter was able to reach, observing firsthand some of the most crucial developments in this sensational case. Documenting the Latin American reality of mara youth gangs and organized crime, The Art of Political Murder tells the incredible true story of Los Intocables and their remarkable fight for justice. “Becoming by turns a little bit Columbo, Jason Bourne and Seymour Hersh, Goldman gives us the anatomy of a crime while opening a window to a misunderstood neighboring country that is flirting with anarchy.” —The New York Times Book Review

Breaching the Bronze Wall: Franks at Mamluk and Ottoman Courts and Markets

Breaching the Bronze Wall: Franks at Mamluk and Ottoman Courts and Markets

By: Francisco Apellániz

Breaching the Bronze Wall deals with the idea that the words of honorable Muslims constitutes proof and that written documents and the words of non-Muslims are of inferior value. Thus, foreign merchants in cities such as Istanbul, Damascus or Alexandria could barely prove any claim, as neither their contracts nor their words were of any value if countered by Muslims. Francisco Apellániz explores how both groups labored to overcome the ‘biases against non-Muslims’ in Mamlūk Egypt’s and Syria’s courts and markets (14th-15th c.) and how the Ottoman conquest (1517) imposed a new, orthodox view on the problem. The book slips into the Middle Eastern archive and the Ottoman Dīvān, and scrutinizes sharīʿa’s intricacies and their handling by consuls, dragomans, qaḍīs and other legal actors.

The Xavante in Transition

Health, Ecology, and Bioanthropology in Central Brazil

By: Carlos E. A. Coimbra,Nancy M. Flowers,Francisco M. Salzano,Ricardo V. Santos

The Xavánte in Transition presents a diachronic view of the long and complex interaction between the Xavánte, an indigenous people of the Brazilian Amazon, and the surrounding nation, documenting the effects of this interaction on Xavánte health, ecology, and biology. A powerful example of how a small-scale society, buffeted by political and economic forces at the national level and beyond, attempts to cope with changing conditions, this study will be important reading for demographers, economists, environmentalists, and public health workers. ". . . an integrated and politically informed anthropology for the new millennium. They show how the local and the regional meet on the ground and under the skin." --Alan H. Goodman, Professor of Biological Anthropology, Hampshire College "This volume delivers what it promises. Drawing on twenty-five years of team research, the authors combine history, ethnography and bioanthropology on the cutting edge of science in highly readable form." --Daniel Gross, Lead Anthropologist, The World Bank "No doubt it will serve as a model for future interdisciplinary scholarship. It promises to be highly relevant to policy formulation and implementation of health care programs among small-scale populations in Brazil and elsewhere." --Laura R. Graham, Professor of Anthropology, University of Iowa Carlos E. A. Coimbra Jr. is Professor of Medical Anthropology at the National School of Public Health, Rio de Janeiro.Nancy M. Flowers is Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology, Hunter College. Francisco M. Salzano is Emeritus Professor, Department of Genetics, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Ricardo V.

Late Cretaceous/Paleogene West Antarctica Terrestrial Biota and its Intercontinental Affinities

By: Marcelo Reguero,Francisco Goin,Carolina Acosta Hospitaleche,Tania Dutra,Sergio Marenssi

One of the most intriguing paleobiogeographical phenomena involving the origins and gradual sundering of Gondwana concerns the close similarities and, in most cases, inferred sister-group relationships of a number of terrestrial and freshwater vertebrate taxa, e.g., dinosaurs, flying birds, mammals, etc., recovered from uppermost Cretaceous/ Paleogene deposits of West Antarctica, South America, and NewZealand/Australia. For some twenty five extensive and productive investigations in the field of vertebrate paleontology has been carried out in latest Cretaceous and Paleogene deposits in the James Ross Basin, northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP), West Antarctica, on the exposed sequences on James Ross, Vega, Seymour (=Marambio) and Snow Hill islands respectively. The available geological, geophysical and marine faunistic evidence indicates that the peninsular (AP) part of West Antarctica and the western part of the tip of South America (Magallanic Region, southern Chile) were positioned very close in the latest Cretaceous and early Paleogene favoring the “Overlapping” model of South America-Antarctic Peninsula paleogeographic reconstruction. Late Cretaceous deposits from Vega, James Ross, Seymour and Snow Hill islands have produced a discrete number of dinosaur taxa and a number of advanced birds together with four mosasaur and three plesiosaur taxa, and a few shark and teleostean taxa.

Sex, Identity and Hermaphrodites in Iberia, 1500–1800

By: Francisco Vazquez Garcia

Early modern European thought held that men and women were essentially the same. During the seventeenth century, medical and legal arguments began to turn against this ‘one-sex’ model, with hermaphroditism seen as a medieval superstition. This book traces this change in Iberia in comparison to the earlier shift in thought in northern Europe.

The First Maya Civilization

Ritual and Power Before the Classic Period

By: Francisco Estrada-Belli

When the Maya kings of Tikal dedicated their first carved monuments in the third century A.D., inaugurating the Classic period of Maya history that lasted for six centuries and saw the rise of such famous cities as Palenque, Copan and Yaxchilan, Maya civilization was already nearly a millennium old. Its first cities, such as Nakbe and El Mirador, had some of the largest temples ever raised in Prehispanic America, while others such as Cival showed even earlier evidence of complex rituals. The reality of this Preclassic Maya civilization has been documented by scholars over the past three decades: what had been seen as an age of simple village farming, belatedly responding to the stimulus of more advanced peoples in highland Mesoamerica, is now know to have been the period when the Maya made themselves into one of the New World's most innovative societies. This book discusses the most recent advances in our knowledge of the Preclassic Maya and the emergence of their rainforest civilization, with new data on settlement, political organization, architecture, iconography and epigraphy supporting a contemporary theoretical perspective that challenges prior assumptions.

Las Placas Tectónicas No Existen

Y Otras Afirmaciones HeréTicas...

By: Francisco J. Madrigal

En este ensayo, el autor plasma unos desafiantes y controversiales conceptos sobre el origen del Gran Cañón del Colorado, los cuales, aún cuando él insiste en que son totalmente evidentes, a las demás personas nos resultan difíciles de digerir. Además, utilizando la misma tónica del tema del Gran Cañón, niega que los glaciares tengan el poder erosivo que los expertos les otorgan, como en la formación del Valle de Yosemite. Sin embargo, aún más controversial puede resultar la negación que hace de la existencia de las Placas Tectónicas, y en forma categórica afirma que, aún cuando los científicos aseguran que la teoría de las Placas Tectónicas da una explicación coherente y elegante sobre la supuesta formación y deriva continentales, esta teoría le parece francamente ridícula y absurda y, por supuesto, expone con sobriedad y sencillez las razones por las que contradice tal teoría. Adelantándose al pensamiento de los lectores, el mismo autor se pregunta por qué tuvo que ser él quien desarrollara esta teoría, si es carente de toda instrucción en la materia. El autor ha declarado que está consciente de la oposición y de las críticas a que se verá expuesto, sin embargo, menciona que está dispuesto a defender su afirmación en cualquier foro y ante cualquier personaje.

Human Evolution

Trails from the Past

By: Camilo J. Cela-Conde,Francisco J. Ayala

Human Evolution provides a comprehensive overview of hominid evolution, synthesising data and approaches from fields as diverse as physical anthropology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, genetics, archaeology, psychology and philosophy. The book starts with chapters on evolution, population genetics, systematics, and the methods for constructing evolutionary trees. These are followed by a comprehensive review of the fossil history of human evolution since our divergence from the apes. Subsequent chapters cover more recent data, both fossil and molecular, relating to the evolution of modern humans. A final section describes the evolution of culture, language, art, and morality. The authors are leading experts in two complementary fields of scholarship, physical anthropology and molecular evolution. Throughout the book they successfully integrate their expertise in evolutionary theory, phylogenetics, genomics, cultural evolution, language, aesthetics and morality to produce a cutting edge textbook, copiously illustrated and with an extensive and up-to-date bibliography. It will be suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate level students taking courses on human evolution within departments of biology, anthropology, psychology and philosophy. The book will also appeal to a more general audience seeking a readable, up-to-date and inclusive treatment of human origins and evolution.
