From the beginning of time there have been stories about the existence of other worlds. Most believed that in such a vast universe Earth could not be the only inhabited planed. Perhaps there are other species akin to our own speculating on exactly the same theory of existence? There is a book of unknown origin older than any existing manuscript know to man and because of its uniqueness is heavily guarded. It is The Ancient Troneica with protectors known as High Lords from the Temple of Tekret. We will soon discover that we are not alone. Earth is one of seven plains that exist in our dimension. Under constant threat from an unimaginable evil that possibility has now become a reality. The battle will be fought in the shadows of San Francisco where the book has been located. The Darkness wants unity, pursuing its opponents relentlessly and without mercy to fulfill the Circle. The heavy burden of succumbing to a nightmare and surviving rests on the shoulders of Jason King and Lucy White. This is a journey of discovery and terror leading them towards a destiny that could take their very souls.
Con un epígrafe de Sõren Kierkegaard inicia Curtis Bauer su poemario: «El mayor de todos los peligros, perderse a sí mismo, puede ocurrir inadvertidamente en el mundo, como si no fuera nada». Y es que para este poeta el peligro yace en la distracción, en no darse cuenta. Por eso regresa a lo ido, a un pasado que requiere ser revisitado. América, las distintas américas que conforman el universo de Bauer, se nos presenta en una crudeza llevada a la abstracción. Máquinas, manchas de petróleo, mares de tierra, salamandras, un mundo con atisbos de esperanza y su olor a jazmín. Aquí hay estaciones de una edad a la que Bauer regresa y se pregunta si la belleza es, si la justicia es, si la niña es, si el amor es, y si lo que muestra es lo que nos mantiene asidos a la patria.
El inglés es difícil y el español es difícil. A veces la clave para aprender es diversión e interés. Estas historias son divertidas e interesantes.

The first Latin American to receive a Nobel Prize for Literature, the Chilean writer Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) is often characterized as a healing, maternal voice who spoke on behalf of women, indigenous peoples, the disenfranchised, children, and the rural poor. She is that political poet and more: a poet of philosophical meditation, self-consciousness, and daring. This is a book full of surprises and paradoxes. The complexity and structural boldness of these prose-poems, especially the female-erotic prose pieces of her first book, make them an important moment in the history of literary modernism in a tradition that runs from Baudelaire, the North American moderns, and the South American postmodernistas. It's a book that will be eye-opening and informative to the general reader as well as to students of gender studies, cultural studies, literary history, and poetry. This Spanish-English bilingual volume gathers the most famous and representative prose writings of Gabriela Mistral, which have not been as readily available to English-only readers as her poetry. The pieces are grouped into four sections. "Fables, Elegies, and Things of the Earth" includes fifteen of Mistral's...
In Confessions of a Berlitz-Tape Chicana, celebrated author Demetria Martinez gives voice to her own "tongue-tied generation" by sharing her deeply personal views of the world. In a series of essays, Martinez brings her trademark blend of humor and irony to bear on a variety of topics. Demonstrating her passion for searching out the truth rather than passively accepting the official story, Martinez explores issues of religion and culture, including the nature of Catholicism, life in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and the Spanish language. On a more personal level, she also describes her political and social activism, the creative act of writing poetry, and her own journey with bipolar disorder.
El volumen IV da continuidad a la serie Árboles de Costa Rica, iniciada hace 42 años y encargada de describir la flora arbórea de un país rico en biodiversidad. Esta guía de campo presenta 238 especies con hojas simples, comprendidas en 18 familias de plantas (Fabaceae-Malpighiaceae). Solo 39 de ellas son endémicas, lo cual significa que la obra incluye especies con amplia distribución, y por ello tendrá gran utilidad en la región centroamericana. El libro ofrece información sobre grupos de árboles (familias) conocidos por su importancia económica, muy diversos, taxonómicamente complejos y dominantes en nuestros bosques. La información por especie ha sido unificada para lograr el máximo paralelismo entre ellas y así facilitar la identificación comparativa. Las ilustraciones proveen caracteres diagnósticos relevantes que caracterizan a cada especie, y los mapas de distribución ayudan a fortalecer las decisiones al momento de hacer una identificación. Además, las fotografías ilustran la belleza e identidad de algunas de las especies. Este volumen resume el trabajo intenso de exploración y estudios taxonómicos hechos sobre nuestros bosques en los últimos 33...
Volume one of a two volume set outlining and comparing three approaches to the study of language labelled 'structural-functionalist': functional grammar (FG); role and reference grammar (RRG); and systemic functional grammar (SFG).
Tales of risk and danger, suffering, disease, horror, and death. Tales, also, of courage and dignity, hard work, and human endurance in the face of hostile nature and the frequent brutality of men. And tales flavored with piquant touches of humor and bemused irony. These are the stories of the Uruguayan writer Horacio Quiroga, here presented in an important compilation of thirteen of his most compelling tales, sensitively selected and translated by J. David Danielson. Author of some two hundred pieces of fiction, often compared to the works of Kipling, Jack London, and Edgar Allan Poe, Quiroga set many of his stories in the territory of Misiones in northeastern Argentina, the subtropical jungle region where he spent much of his life. Included here are stories from Los desterrados (1926) often said to be his best book, as well as others from Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte (1917), Anaconda (1921), and El Desierto (1924). The publication of this selection marks the first appearance in English of all but two of the thirteen stories. Quiroga here presents a wide range of characters: parents and children, servant girls and prostitutes, landowners and lumber barons, foremen and...
In as our barrio turns...who the yoke b on, alurista poet-filetero filosofo snaps shots of his singular history in wickedly funny, blashemous travelogues through his yourth and activist days. He twists our tongues in the vernacular that we as Chicano Mexicanos find snugly familiar and exhilarating.
