Back to Basics in Physiology

O2 and CO2 in the Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems

By: Juan Pablo Arroyo,Adam J. Schweickert

Back to Basics in Physiology: O2 and CO2 in the Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems exploits the gap that exists in current physiology books, tackling specific problems and evaluating their repercussions on systemic physiology. It is part of a group of books that seek to provide a bridge for the basic understanding of science and its direct translation to the clinical setting, with a final aim of helping readers further comprehend the basic science behind clinical observations. The book is interspersed with clinical correlates and key facts, as the authors believe that highlighting direct patient care issues leads to improved understanding and retention. Physiology students, including graduate and undergraduate students, nursing students, physician associate students, and medical students will find this to be a great reference tool as part of an introductory course, or as review material. - Exploits the gap that exists in current physiology books, tackling specific problems and evaluating their repercussions on systemic physiology - Provides a bridge for the basic understanding of science and its direct translation to the clinical setting - Interspersed with clinical correlates and key facts, highlighting direct patient care issues to help improve understanding and retention - Ideal physiology reference for physiology students, including graduate and undergraduate students, nursing students, physician associate students, and medical students

Rudo Ensayo

A Description of Sonora and Arizona in 1764

By: Juan Nentvig

Just as the Rudo Ensayo is more an historic document than a mere history, so this new translation of it is more a documented interpretation than simply a new translation. The translator/editors bring their expert knowledge of the area, the language, and the history to every page of Nentvig's manuscript. Pradeau and Rasmussen have clarified many of the ambiguities of earlier translations by Smith (1863) and Guiteras (1894), and have added substantial annotations to the author's accounts of fauna and flora, native culture, and Spanish outposts. An incomparable record of a twelve-year mission in 18th century Sonora, the Rudo Ensayo as rendered in modern English is also a fascinating travelogue through an untamed land.

Nightmares of the Lettered City

Banditry and Literature in Latin America, 1816-1929

By: Juan Pablo Dabove

Nightmares of the Lettered City presents an original study of the popular theme of banditry in works of literature, essays, poetry, and drama, and banditry's pivotal role during the conceptualization and formation of the Latin American nation-state. Juan Pablo Dabove examines writings over a broad time period, from the early nineteenth century to the 1920s, and while Nightmares of the Lettered City focuses on four crucial countries (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and Venezuela), it is the first book to address the depiction of banditry in Latin America as a whole. The work offers close reading of Facundo, Do–a Barbara, Os Sert›es, and Martin Fierro, among other works, illuminating the ever-changing and often contradictory political agendas of the literary elite in their portrayals of the forms of peasant insurgency labeled "banditry."Banditry has haunted the Latin American literary imagination. As a cultural trope, banditry has always been an uneasy compromise between desire and anxiety (a "nightmare"), and Dabove isolates three main representational strategies. He analyzes the bandit as radical other, a figure through which the elites depicted the threats posed to them by various sectors outside the lettered city. Further, he considers the bandit as a trope used in elite internecine struggles. In this case, rural insurgency was a means to legitimize or refute an opposing sector or faction within the lettered city. Finally, Dabove shows how, in certain cases, the bandit was used as an image of the nonstate violence that the nation state has to suppress as a historical force and simultaneously exalt as a memory in order to achieve cultural coherence and actual sovereignty. As Dabove convincingly demonstrates, the elite's construction of the bandit is essential to our understanding of the development of the Latin American nation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Vida de Ignacio Agramonte

By: Juan José Expósito Casasús

La Vida de Ignacio Agramonte de Juan José Expósito Casasús constituye un mito de la cultura cubana. Durante generaciones en las escuelas de la Isla se cuentan las hazañas de Agramonte como parte de un ciclo de relatos de dimensiones épicas. Esta Vida de Ignacio Agramonte recoge parte de las cartas que intercambiaron entre sí Agramonte y Amalia, el amor de su vida. Asimismo, contiene documentos militares que informan de las operaciones de la guerra de independencia cubana. Agramonte luchó contra fuerzas más numerosas y mejor equipadas. Su inventiva para sortear con astucia estas desventajas lo convirtieron en líder muy respetado. Llaman, además, la atención los capítulos en que se refieren las polémicas entre los revolucionarios cubanos. Se discutía, en esencia, el modo de gobernar la República cubana en armas y sus instituciones democráticas. Asimismo merecen interés los Decretos y documentos constitucionales aquí incluidos y, en particular, los de Agramonte. En este periodo de la historia cubana se proclama la abolición de la esclavitud. También se redacta una nueva Constitución para Cuba. Mientras, los independentistas cubanos se debatían entre un modelo dictatorial de gobierno en plena guerra y el ideal Republicano y democrático, defendido por Agramonte.

Toward Filipino Self-Determination

Beyond Transnational Globalization

By: E. San Juan Jr.

Granted formal independence in 1946, the Philippines serves as a battleground between the neoliberal project of capitalist globalization and the enduring aspiration of Filipinos for national self-determination. More than ten million Filipino workers—over one-tenth of the country's total population—work as contract workers in all parts of the world. How did this "model" colony of the United States devolve into an impoverished, war-torn neocolonial hinterland, a provider of cheap labor and raw materials for the rest of the world? In Toward Filipino Self-Determination, E. San Juan Jr. explores the historical, cultural, and political formation of the Filipino diaspora. By focusing on the work of significant Filipino intellectuals and activists, including Carlos Bulosan and Philip Vera Cruz, as well as the issues of gender and language for workers in the United States, San Juan provides a historical-materialist reading of social practices, discourses, and institutions that explain the contradictions characterizing Filipino life in both the United States and in the Philippines.

Modernity and Colombian Identity in the Music of Carlos Vives y La Provincia

Travels to the Land of Oblivion

By: Manuel Sevilla,Juan Sebastián Ochoa,Carolina Santamaría-Delgado,Carlos Eduardo Cataño Arango

By the late 1980s and early 1990s, a great number of TV shows and music acts blossomed in Colombia, all of which resorted to regional identity as the narrative core for a renewed idea of national identity. Among them was “Clasicos de la provincial,” an album by Colombian singer Carlos Vives and his band La Provincia (1993), which marked the beginning of a successful career that has spanned nearly three decades. Vives´s work not only earned much deserved recognition in the musical industry from the beginning, but most importantly, has come to be renowned as a landmark in the cultural history of Colombia. This book is the first in-depth analysis focused on the creation and production process of Vives´s work, its main musical and literary features, and its influence on other musicians and in the construction of a narrative about national identity that is still relevant today. More than fifty interviews with Vives and members of the band, musicians, journalists, radio programmers, musical producers, and other key players of the process, together with an extensive review of hundreds of documents, are the sources for this book, which earned its authors a national award in Colombia (2015).

Struggles for Recognition

Melodrama and Visibility in Latin American Silent Film

By: Juan Sebastián Ospina León

Struggles for Recognition traces the emergence of melodrama in Latin American silent film and silent film culture. Juan Sebastián Ospina León draws on extensive archival research to reveal how melodrama visualized and shaped the social arena of urban modernity in early twentieth-century Latin America. Analyzing sociocultural contexts through film, this book demonstrates the ways in which melodrama was mobilized for both liberal and illiberal ends, revealing or concealing social inequities from Buenos Aires to Bogotá to Los Angeles. Ospina León critically engages Euro-American and Latin American scholarship seldom put into dialogue, offering an innovative theorization of melodrama relevant to scholars working within and across different national contexts.
