The Power of Entrepreneurs

Politics and Economy in Contemporary Spain

By: Mercedes Cabrera,Fernando del Rey

Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.

Secretos y cenizas

Una historia de amor ante el peligro de una guerra que pudo cambiar el destino de América.

By: Mercedes Santos

1738, Carina de Ulloa recibe la carta que cambiará su vida. Su padre, un marino de la Armada Real destinado al Virreinato de Nueva Granada, le pide que se reúna con él en Cartagena de Indias. La esperan una fortuna en cacaotales y un aristócrata venido a menos con quien casarse. Pero al desembarcar le informan que su padre fue asesinado y su prometido se casó con otra. Pronto Carina descubrirá los turbios negocios de su padre, el contrabando generalizado, el clima de guerra que se vive en todo el Caribe entre España e Inglaterra, la existencia de una hermanastra mulata perseguida por la Inquisición y los pasquines difamatorios que la han puesto en ridículo antes de llegar a la ciudad. Su camino se cruzará con el de Diego de Veranz, un malcriado aristócrata desterrado de la ciudad acusado de un crimen, que tras su fachada de bonvivant trabaja en secreto para la Corona. Oculto tras el disfraz de letrado, ayudará a la mujer a la que él mismo convirtió en el hazmerreír de toda Cartagena. Ambos buscan venganza, pero serán arrollados por un elemento imprevisto: la pasión.Las plantaciones de cacao, las misas negras en las ciénagas, el poder de la Inquisición y el lujo de la corte virreinal, el pirateo en Jamaica y Tortuga, el asalto inglés a Portobello y el ataque inglés a Cartagena -el mayor en la historia naval hasta el de Normandía doscientos años después-, son el escenario de esta heroica novela de amor.

Cuentos de la mitología Griega VI

By: Mercedes Aguirre,Alicia Esteban Santos

Allá adonde nunca alcanzó a penetrar la mirada del hombre, ni la huella de su pie se ha dejado sentir? O, acaso, sólo las de algún héroe más divino que humano, transportado a esas lejanías por la magia de poderes sobrenaturales. En lugares tan remotos, tan perdidos que causa pavor siquiera imaginarlos. Envueltos en la bruma de los sueños terroríficos, ¿los ha creado quizás nuestra fantasía para encerrar en ellos, ?bajo llave?, a tantos seres horripilantes de los que la razón consciente desea huir?

Collecting from the Margins

Material Culture in a Latin American Context

By: María Mercedes Andrade

Collecting from the Margins

Material Culture in a Latin American Context

By: María Mercedes Andrade

From the cabinets of wonderof the Renaissance to the souvenir collections of today, selecting, accumulating, and organizing objects are practices that are central to our notions of who we are and what we value. Collecting, both private and institutional, has been instrumental in the consolidation of modern notions of the individual and of the nation, and numerous studies have discussed its complex political, social, economic, anthropological, and psychological implications. However, studies of collecting as practiced in colonized cultures are few, since the role of these cultures has usually been understood as that of purveyors of objects for the metropolitan collector. Collecting from the Margins: Material Culture in a Latin American Context seeks to counter the historical understanding of collecting that posits the metropolis as collecting subject and the colonial or postcolonial society as supplier of collectible objects by asking instead how collecting has been practiced and understood in Latin America. Has collecting been viewed or portrayed differently in a Latin American context? Does the act of collecting, when viewed from a Latin American perspective, unsettle the way we have become accustomed to think about it? What differences, if any, arise in the activity of collecting in colonized or previously colonial societies? Spanning the period after the independence wars until the 1980s, this collection of ten essays addresses a broad range of examples of collecting practices in Latin America. Collecting during the nineteenth century is addressed in discussions of the creation of the first national museums of Argentina and Colombia in the post-independence period, as well as in analyses of the private collections of modernistas such as Enrique Gómez Carrillo, Rubén Darío, José Asunción Silva, and Delmira Agustini at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. The practice of collecting in the twentieth century is discussed in analyses of the self-described revolutionary practices of Oswald de Andrade, Augusto de Campos and the films of Ruy Guerra, as well as the polemical collections of Pablo Neruda, and the unsettling collections portrayed in Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude.

The Quest for Certainty in Early Modern Europe

The Quest for Certainty in Early Modern Europe

From Inquisition to Inquiry, 1550–1700

By: Barbara Fuchs,Mercedes García-Arenal

This interdisciplinary collection explores how the early modern pursuit of knowledge in very different spheres – from Inquisitional investigations to biblical polemics to popular healing – was conditioned by a shared desire for certainty, and how epistemological crises produced by the religious upheavals of early modern Europe were also linked to the development of new scientific methods. Questions of representation became newly fraught as the production of knowledge increasingly challenged established orthodoxies. The volume focuses on the social and institutional dimensions of inquiry in light of political and cultural challenges, while also foregrounding the Hispanic world, which has often been left out of histories of scepticism and modernity. Featuring essays by historians and literary scholars from Europe and the United States, The Quest for Certainty in Early Modern Europe reconstructs the complexity of early modern epistemological debates across the disciplines, in a variety of cultural, social, and intellectual locales.

The Mexican Lindbergh

Captain Emilio Carranza Rodríguez

By: Leticia Roa Nixon,Rosa Mercedes Pujols

At 22 years of age, Captain Carranza was considered The Mexican Lindbergh for his long-distance flights. Not only was he a pilot, but also a military man. In 1928, Captain Carranza set his goals in the The Goodwill Flight. Once completed his flight from Mexico City to Washington, DC the young wouldn't fly back in the middle of a bad storm if it wasn't for a telegram from General Amaro ordering to go back to Mexico immediately. His plane crashed shortly after he departed. Thanks to the Legion Post of Mount Holly, NJ every first weekend of July, there's a ceremony in memory of The Mexican Lindbergh.

The Hand That Feeds You

By: Mercedes Rosende

The sequel to last year’s much-lauded Crocodile Tears (“Reads like a marvellous mash-up of Anita Brookner and Quentin Tarantino.” The Times). The attempted robbery of the armored truck in the back streets of Montevideo is a miserable failure. A lucky break for the intrepid Ursula who manages to snatch all the loot, more hindered than helped by her faint-hearted and reluctant companion Diego. Only now, the wannabe robbers are hot on her heels. As is the police. And a private detective. And Ursula's sister. But Ursula turns out to be enormously talented when it comes to criminal undertakings, and given the hilarious ineptitude of those in pursuit, she might just pull it off. She is an irresistible heroine. A murderess with a sense of humor, a lovable criminal with an edge and she is practically invisible to the men who dominate the deeply macho society of Uruguay.

Sin fronteras

Inclusive Spanish Grammar Guidebook

By: Liana Stepanyan,María Mercedes Fages Agudo,Carolina Castillo Larrea,Goretti Prieto Botana

Sin fronteras: Inclusive Spanish Grammar Guidebook is the first ever Spanish language text to teach non-binary and gender-neutral language. It is an invaluable resource for intermediate and advanced learners that offers concise explanations and exercises for the major clausal structures, tenses, and moods. Along with including non-binary and gender-neutral language, the volume also incorporates the voseo, or the use of vos as a second-person singular pronoun that is common in many Latin American countries. This book expands the scope of traditional grammar instruction by including tasks such as reading, writing, discussions, and independent research in order to support the development of the competencies necessary to thrive in the increasingly interconnected and diverse world. Sin fronteras is suitable for independent study or for supplemental use in conversation classes, classes for heritage speakers, classes with focus on the professions (e.g., medical Spanish, Spanish for business), and literature classes.

The Orient in Spain

Converted Muslims, the Forged Lead Books of Granada, and the Rise of Orientalism

By: Mercedes Garcia-Arenal Rodriquez,Fernando Rodríguez Mediano

Taking as its main subject a series of notorious forgeries by Muslim converts in sixteenth-century Granada (including an apocryphal gospel in Arabic), this book studies the emotional, cultural and religious world view of the Morisco minority and the complexity of its identity, caught between the wish to respect Arabic cultural traditions, and the pressures of evangelization and efforts at integration into “Old Christian” society. Orientalist scholarship in Early Modern Spain, in which an interest in Oriental languages, mainly Arabic, was linked to important historiographical questions, such as the uses and value of Arabic sources and the problem of the integration of al-Andalus within a providentialist history of Spain, is also addressed. The authors consider these issues not only from a local point of view, but from a wider perspective, in an attempt to understand how these matters related to more general European intellectual and religious developments.

Six Real Women Discuss How They Put Themselves at the Top of Their To-Do List

By: Miami Bombshells,Patricia San Pedro,Annie San Roman,Tammi Leader Fuller,Sara Rosenberg,Lydia Sacasa,Mercedes Soler-Martinez

It's easy to feel like we're alone in our struggles, but when we're able to share our stories with other women, we realize how alike we really are. There is comfort in numbers and knowing that we're not alone. -- Patricia As women, we take care of everyone else before ourselves. Now is the time to put your needs at the top of your to-do list, because if not now, when? -- Annie We realized we're not perfect, and we're pretty sure we're not alone. Besides, beauty -- and being a "bombshell" -- is more about being courageous than curvaceous. -- Mercedes Although these are our stories, we're really just the "stand-ins" for all women who struggle to juggle. This book is about things most women can totally relate to but would never discuss in public. -- Tammi Maybe having it all isn't having it all at all. We're trying to be happy with "enough," so let's lower the bar a little and start enjoying the lives we've created for ourselves. -- Sara We created our Bombshell Circle to provide unconditional support to one another. Dish & Tell highlights the power of girlfriends. Read the book and start your own circle (and make sure you have plenty of wine and chocolate!). -- Lydia

Mathematical Investigations

Concepts and Processes for the Introductory Algebra Student

By: Phil DeMarois,Mercedes A. McGowen,Darlene Whitkanack

Reflective of AMATYC and NCTM standards for teaching mathematics, this text (the first in a series of two texts) aims to make mathematics truly accessible to all students by taking an active approach to learning. Focused on mathematical reasoning and problem-solving strategies, Mathematical Investigations presents a series of carefully sequenced investigations where students gather data and work collaboratively to discover key concepts. The function concept is central to all topics from Chapter 3 forward and is explored through multiple representations. This text explores variables, notation, and processes explicitly rather than assuming students have mastered these concepts in previous courses. Content is explored in depth, and contextual problems are revisited throughout the text to create a spiral that gives students multiple opportunities to master important skills and concepts. Graphing calculators are integrated throughout the text to help students discover patterns and interpret data intelligently. Students construct their knowledge of a particular topic in a real-world context and then reinforce this knowledge through reflection, practice, and synthesis with other topics as they work through the text.
