El mundo hispanohablante contemporáneo: historia, política, sociedades y culturas is a comprehensive and innovative book for advanced students of Spanish. Offering a constructivist approach to the study of the civilizations, cultures and histories of the contemporary Spanish-speaking world, the book focuses on learning as an active process that enables learners to develop high-level critical thinking skills through the exposure, research, examination and discussion of a variety of authentic films, songs and literary texts. Divided into twelve chapters, each chapter begins with an introduction to the general topic followed by various activities that lead students to critically analyse a range of authentic materials. Learners are able to practice higher level critical-thinking and linguistic skills through a wealth of tasks and exercises which culminate in a capstone section that requires the application of the concepts learned and sources utilized throughout the lesson. El mundo hispanohablante contemporáneo: historia, política, sociedades y culturas offers great flexibility and adaptability to suit advanced courses in Hispanic culture and civilization. Each chapter is methodologically designed with a balanced mix of activities for individual and teamwork. Additional resources are available online for both instructors and students.

There are an estimated forty-eight million Latinas/os living in the United States, roughly sixteen percent of the population. Not only are they the largest minority group in the country but also the youngest: one out of five children is Latina/o. The rise in the Latina/o population has caused for panic in some areas of the country, resulting in hostile and sometimes violent racism and xenophobia, and yet, much of that hatred is fueled not on facts but rather on myths about immigration. To date, most studies on immigration have been data driven, focusing on migrating groups or policy analyses. Latina/o Hope is different. It incorporates salient theories on migration as it moves toward a new theorizing, one that views immigration from the immigrant's perspective. Thus, it integrates research into the depiction of various slices of immigrant experience—the young women disappearing in the city of Juarez, the various students at various stages of their educational journeys, the young children in need of ESL programs, the ethnically-mixed immigrants, the undocumented workers, and others. Latina/o Hope discusses the impact of neoliberal policies and global capitalization on the daily lives of Latina/o immigrants, serving as an inspiration for dialogue, praxis and imagination to love and serve one another.
Lourdes Odette Aquitania Ricasa is an artist and a world traveler. She loves to paint and took painting lessons at the Mission Renaissance Art School in Pasadena, California, in Biarritz, France, Alicante, Spain and Bishkek Kyrgyzstan. She has on display more than one hundred works of art. Wandering from one moment to the next from Vanuatu to Tasmania and then perhaps she will be back to Vanuatu, sometimes with a sudden crisis of the heart, in which she does not act or react. Some unconscious choices how a particular individual behaves, leading to a drama of psychological inclination. Running with Echoes of Desire is a clear exercise of her talents, a special type of poetry for readers. For without love, without poetry, we become squeezed in social conventions. Destined to satisfy our literary cravings, a fleeting movement, a magnetic power has exerted a distinct influence in the art of her writing. The book jump starts our imagination. It tells us about life. Words that shine to new truths. It contains more than two hundred fifty poems and newsletters and her Art sketches. Excitingshe prefers to stay at the Paradores of Spain, chains of Palaces in Santiago de Compostela, Leon, Ducal Palace of Lerma, Trujillo and the Posada Dos Loios de Evora in Portugal. These places immortalizes yesterday, where the past emerges when Kings and royalty stayed here. There were times, she stayed in dorm beds in Iceland and Lake Baikal, Siberia. She quips It was so much fun. I made a lot of friends. Having traveled to two hundred eleven countries, her book is a premiere show case, the world on pages begins in her journeys. At times telling us what we do not already know or somehow we never framed the way she expresses it.
LOVE ECHOES...SHARE AND INSPIRE Having traveled to two hundred ninety-five (295) countries, islands and territories, her book is a premiere show case, the world on pages of journeys. From the streets of Faroe Islands, the jebel of Yemen, Las Geel caves in Somaliland, the smallest island nation of Nauru, the remote St. Helena Islands, Far Away from it all – the Robinson Crusoe Islands, the kasbahs of Algeria, the Delap Elementary School in Marshall Islands, interviewing locals in the island of Kiribati, Filipinos living abroad...unstoppable, giving classic poetry a fresh face. Chugging in a reed boat in Lake Titica, Bolivia, perusing flea markets and vintage old world Zaragoza, Spain - Sixty three million years ago Dinosaur (iche nites) foot prints traceable in the Asturias region - reverting back to a past era. Yemen, with villages perched steep on the hills, hanging precariously, clinging like eagle's nest to the sides of cliffs. Family homes on top of giant boulders. The underground villages of the Berbers in Tunisia, featured in the movie Star Wars. Frozen in time rock churches of Lalibela Ethiopia, the fascinating islands of the Maldives, Solomon Islands, Kiribati in the Phoenix Islands entices you to book a flight tomorrow. Highlights also include white-water rafting down the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe, cradling a baby tiger at the Daktari Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa; hiking up the Masada in Israel; sampled snake meat in the night market of Taiwan and the mopane worms in the local market of Gabon. Love cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action. Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love. Currently, her total travel is believed to be calculated at more than three million miles. She has traveled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, newly opened for tourist visas.
Uno de los grandes problemas de la infinidad que existe, referente a la escasa cultura de la lectura en México es la poca promoción de actividades de sensibilización a la lectura. Me refiero desde luego a las instituciones oficiales que por antonomasia le corresponde realizar todo lo referente a esta área. Por lo mencionado a priori, al no existir espacios o escaparates donde los niños y jóvenes puedan dar a conocer su gran creatividad e imaginación, simple y sencillamente la sociedad deja de evolucionar para quedar en el oscurantismo, como en el Medioevo. En esa patética pasividad, a los niños se les coarta la posibilidad de seguir desarrollando a su máxima capacidad su creatividad. Una vez analizado profundamente durante muchos años y como docente de la Primaria "Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez", de Palenque, Chiapas; México; vi que existía la necesidad imperiosa de hacer realidad todas las actividades del gran proyecto cultural visionario, pero cultura en el amplio sentido de la palabra; que inicié hace aproximadamente veinte años, y precisamente la publicación de la presente obra que contiene las producciones literarias de alumnos de primaria y secundaria, solo es uno de los elementos cristalizados del proyecto. Pero enfatizo algo, no solo es suficiente realizar todo lo mencionado a priori, sino debe existir la necesidad imperiosa de ser filántropo para realizar todo aquello que para la gran mayoría de los entes lo tienen concebido como imposible, es decir; su chip ya se lo programaron para que piensen y actúen como tal. Es nuestra responsabilidad evitar a toda costa que esto le ocurra a las nuevas generaciones.
Latinos in the United States have fought hard to attain equality, especially in the field of education. The Praeger Handbook of Latino Education in the U.S. focuses on this fight for equal educational access and represents a significant addition to American educational literature. The contributors to this volume reveal that many Latino children still face challenges that were present many decades ago. In addition to such obstacles as cultural conflicts and racism, they also face teachers, curricula, and assessments that are not always respectful to their backgrounds. Educators, parents, policy makers, and communities across the country will find this work a goldmine of detailed historical and current information.
The so-called "Non-conventional geophysical-geochemical exploration methods" are used, in the particular case of oil and gas exploration, for the detection and mapping of active microseepage of light hydrocarbons with a vertical nature on the gas-oil accumulations. The non-seismic exploration methods used in Cuba are: Remote Sensing, Gravimetry, Aeromagnetometry, Airborne Gamma Spectrometry (AGS) and Morphometry (non-conventional, from the Digital Elevation Model 90x90m). The AGS also classifies, as a non-conventional geophysical-geochemical method, together with the Redox Complex. Besides, it is of interest to know the geological-structural framework where these microseepage occur. That is why the benefits of using these methods (excluding Redox Complex), prior to their integration with geological and seismic data, translate into a first approximation, valid for an initial understanding of geology and mapping of favourable areas of possible gas-oil interest. Finally, from the implementation of these methods (including Redox Complex), perspective sectors for oil and gas are obtained, once the integration with geology and seismic has been carried out. The book presents a brief theoretical account of the methods used and, as practical results, a set of perspective sectors of possible interest for exploration in Cuba. As a complementary result, the book also offer an evaluation of the areas that meet the petroleum-geologist premises for the presence of large accumulations of high quality oil in Cuba.
