Palmdale

By: Norma H. Gurba,Nicholas J. West

One of the nations fastest growing cities and a center for the aerospace and defense industries, Palmdale began in 1886 with the doomed colony of Palmenthal in a land plentiful with Joshua trees and jackrabbits but very little water. The gateway to the southern Antelope Valley, Palmdale has enjoyed a rich, diverse, and eventful history while resourceful pioneers created neighboring communities of unique character. Littlerock, a pearadise, became the fruit basket for the Antelope Valley. Neil Armstrong, before becoming the first man to walk on the moon in 1969, resided in Juniper Hills. Pearblossoms rustic landscape was ideal for early cowboy movies. The crumbling site of Llano del Rio is the location of perhaps the most important nonreligious utopian colony in Western American history. Valyermo owes its existence to the San Andreas Fault, and the Big Rock Creek area became known for Noah Beery Sr.s Paradise Trout Club, a favorite rendezvous for many Hollywood movie stars and notables.

Citizens in the Present

Youth Civic Engagement in the Americas

By: Maria de los Angeles Torres,Irene Rizzini,Norma Del Rio

Although media coverage often portrays young people in urban areas as politically apathetic or disruptive, this book provides an antidote to such views through narratives of dedicated youth civic engagement and leadership in Chicago, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro. This innovative comparative study provides nuanced accounts of the personal experiences of young people who care deeply about their communities and are actively engaged in a variety of public issues. Drawing from extensive interviews and personal narratives from the young activists themselves, Citizens in the Present presents a vibrant portrait of a new, politically involved generation.

Pura vida

Beginning Spanish

By: Norma Lopez-Burton,Marques Pascual,Pardo Ballester

In Pura vida (Life is good)Spanish is more than vocabulary and grammar, just as Spanish-speaking cultures are more than products and practices. In this learner-centered introductory program, the authors’ commitment to a methodology based on true-to-life experiences brings Spanish to life. Pura vida is the discovery of a Spanish-speaking world through the experiences of real people who share anecdotes and reflections on those experiences. Students relate to these people and make deeper, more meaningful connections between language and culture, and acquire Spanish with an unparalleled sense of personal engagement. In this 12-chapter introductory program, students don’t only learn Spanish for real life, but also from real life. They discover that there is not just one homogeneous Hispanic culture, but rather that each Spanish-speaking country has its own rich, unique culture and that the people who live in these countries speak one common language with different accents, characteristics, and idiosyncrasies. The program offers truly seamless integration of cultural notions and language instruction and features 100% contextualized and personalized activities.

Vanishing Sands

Losing Beaches to Mining

By: Orrin H. Pilkey,Norma J. Longo,William J. Neal,Nelson G. Rangel-Buitrago,Keith C. Pilkey,Hannah L. Hayes

In a time of accelerating sea level rise and increasingly intensifying storms, the world’s sandy beaches and dunes have never been more crucial to protecting coastal environments. Yet, in order to meet the demands of large-scale construction projects, sand mining is stripping beaches and dunes, destroying environments, and exploiting labor in the process. The authors of Vanishing Sands track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States. They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for saving not only beaches, dunes, and associated environments but also lives and tourism economies everywhere.

Meditación Fronteriza

Poems of Love, Life, and Labor

By: Norma Elia Cantú

This collection is a beautifully crafted exploration of life in the Texas-Mexico borderlands. Written by Norma Elia Cantú, the award-winning author of Canícula, this collection carries the perspective of a powerful force in Chicana literature—and literature worldwide. The poems are a celebration of culture, tradition, and creativity that navigates themes of love, solidarity, and political transformation. Deeply personal yet warmly relatable, these poems flow from Spanish to English gracefully. With Gloria Anzaldúa’s foundational work as an inspiration, Meditación Fronteriza unveils unique images that provide nuance and depth to the narrative of the borderlands. Poems addressed to talented and influential women such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Adrienne Rich, among others, pour gratitude and recognition into the collection. While many of the poems in Meditación Fronteriza are gentle and inviting, there are also moments that grieve for the state of the borderlands, calling for political resistance.

Cell Volume and Signaling

By: Peter Lauf,Norma Adragna

In front of you is the finished product of your work, the text of your contributions to the 2003 Dayton International Symposium on Cell Volume and Signal Transduction. As we all recall, this symposium brought together the Doyens of Cellular and Molecular Physiology as well as aspiring young investigators and students in this field. It became a memorable event in an illustrious series of International Symposia on Cell Volume and Signaling. This series, started by Professors Vladimir Strbák, Florian Lang and Monte Greer in Smolenice, Slovakia in 1997 and continued by Professors Rolf Kinne, Florian Lang and Frank Wehner in Berlin in 2000, is projected for 2005 in Copenhagen to be hosted by our colleague, Professor Else Hoffmann and her team. We dearly miss Monte Greer to whom this symposium was dedicated and addressed so eloquently by Vladimir Strbák in his Dedication to Monte. Monte and I became friends in Smolenice and had begun to discuss the 2003 meeting only a few days before his tragic accident in 2002. There are others who were not with us, and we missed them, too. We would not have been able to succeed in this event without the unflagging support of our higher administration at Wright State University, the NIDDKD of the National Institute of Health, and the Fuji Medical System (see Acknowledgments).

Legendary Locals of the Antelope Valley

Legendary Locals of the Antelope Valley

By: Norma Gurba

In exploring the panorama of the Antelope Valley's history and its people's varied aspirations, determination, and accomplishments, it is easy to see the lasting and dramatic impacts they have made. A few are famous, like young Frances Gumm, who went on to become legendary actress Judy Garland, or Richard "Dick" Rutan, who circled the world nonstop on a single tank of gas in the Rutan Voyager aircraft. Most, however, never knew fame during their lives. Some came seeking gold or worked on the railroads, the Los Angeles Aqueduct, and Borax 20 Mule Teams. Others forged ahead, farmed difficult landscapes, and found success in providing for their families. A poet laureate, the father of Death Valley geology, a suffragette who went on to achieve national fame, and individuals who broke through color barriers are among those who have made the Antelope Valley what it is today.

La Historia de Nila

Basado En Hechos de La Vida Real

By: Norma Nelly Aguirre

Este libro, está dirigido a todas las personas interesadas en observar ciertos patrones o esquemas mentales de sus familias, para identificar algunos incidentes o, eventos que se repiten de generación en generación que bloquean el gozo de la vida. Cuando nos damos el permiso de observar estos esquemas mentales, podemos seguir el hilo de los acontecimientos hasta encontrar de dónde provienen. De esta manera, tenemos la opción de notar lo obvio y algunas veces lo sutil para lograr entender la forma en que nuestra vida ha sido alterada. La historia de Nila, es el viaje de un alma que pasa por las cadenas intergeneracionales de su grupo familiar desde sus ancestros, colaterales, hasta sus descendientes, para vivir toda clase de experiencias buenas, regulares, y malas, con el fin de trascenderlas para evolucionar a estados más altos de conciencia. El enfoque de la historia, apunta especialmente, a la parte emocional del ser humano que es la más ignorada y a la que menos prestamos atención, la cual, obviamente nos afecta. Algunas emociones como la tristeza, la rabia, la ansiedad, la depresión, por hechos ocurridos en el pasado, no nos permiten fluir con la vida. La invitación es leer esta narración con mente abierta y tomar aquella parte con la cual se identifique cada uno. Todas las familias tienen sus historias que de una u otra manera han modificado el presente de sus integrantes. Muchos eventos de las mismas podrían observarse para tomar conciencia, no repetir y facilitar así, nuestro proceso evolutivo.

Mormon Battalion

United States Army of the West, 1846-1848

By: Norma Ricketts

Few events in the history of the American Far West from 1846 to 1849 did not involve the Mormon Battalion. The Battalion participated in the United States conquest of California and in the discovery of gold, opened four major wagon trails, and carried the news of gold east to an eager American public. Yet, the battalion is little known beyond Mormon history. This first complete history of the wide-ranging army unit restores it to its central place in Western history, and provides descendants a complete roster of the Battalion's members.

Luisa Capetillo, Pioneer Puerto Rican Feminist

With the Collaboration of Students from the Graduate Program in Translation, the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, Spring 1991

By: Norma Valle Ferrer

Luisa Capetillo (1879-1922) was a pioneer in the struggle for women's and workers' rights. A feminist and an anarchist, she earned her living as a labor leader and journalist. She wrote brilliant theoretical essays and published four books, including several plays. Ahead of her time, she espoused vegetarianism, a daily regime of Swedish calisthenics, and was the first woman in the Caribbean to wear pants in public. Her life can be read as a dramatic novel, every day an intense ode to personal and political liberation. This biography, the only in-depth historical account of her life and work, rescued her from oblivion and made her a popular icon throughout Latin America. This edition, the first available in English, brings Capetillo's inspiring story to a broader audience.

Canícula

Snapshots of a Girlhood en la Frontera. Updated Edition.

By: Norma Elia Cantú

Winner of the Premio Aztlán Literary Prize Canícula—the dog days—a particularly intense part of the summer when most cotton is harvested in South Texas. In Norma Cantú’s fictionalized memoir of Laredo in the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s, it also represents a time between childhood and a still-unknown adulthood. Snapshots and the author’s re-created memories allow readers to experience the pivotal events of this world—births, deaths, injuries, fiestas, and rites of passage. In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the original publication, this updated edition includes newly written pieces as well as never-before-published images—culled from hundreds of the author’s family photos—adding further depth and insight into this unique contribution to Chicana literature.

Este libro fue escrito en el año 2001 y ampliado en el 2014, trata el tema de la democracia a través del tiempo, desde el hombre primitivo hasta principios del siglo XXI.

Ella no reniega del valor de la democracia, por el contrario, afima que si la dejaran existir, sería el mejor sistema político. Y asegura que cualquier hombre la comprende mejor a través de su razón que a través de los textos que alteran su concepto.

PPH Took My Daughter

By: Norma D. Soto

What is this book about? Well, it's about life! When you read this book, You will know more about primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). You will know more about who God is. You will learn how to deal with the loss of a loved one. You will definitely learn about my daughter Priscilla and her courage. She is the very reason I wrote this book. You will learn about this phenomenal high-energy young mother, loving wife, and an awesome daughter, sister, and a friend to many. PPH stole her from this world in a blink of an eye! This fatal disease I speak about in this book is a monster, a thief, an uncaring disease that invades the life of healthy innocent women aged eighteen to forty years old. PPH Took My Daughter, 2ND edition tells the story of how God helped our family through this dreadful ordeal. I pray and hope that this book will inspire you not only to know what Jesus and His love did for us, but most of all that you can know that you are not alone. And in the process of reading this book, you will find it in your heart to fall in love with your Creator and be blessed. I hope the information about PPH will shed some light on the procedure and what to expect. But for sure you will not be able to do this alone. It takes faith in a physician and his name is Jesus!
