Paisajes del aislamiento
Cuando en un rectángulo convergen treinta autores seleccionados en una convocatoria abierta, doce textos invitados y más de cuarenta ilustraciones, obtienes esto: una seductora antología sobre la experiencia del aislamiento. Una vez que te asomes en ella te sorprenderá la variedad de sensaciones, hallazgos, temores y deseos que puede suscitar en cada ser humano el abrazo de las cuatro paredes, mientras el aire del contagio masivo sopla en la calle. Mírate en este espejo, amable lector: encontrarás en él no una sola imagen sino un mosaico de breves prosas poéticas, ensayos e incluso narraciones que trazan un paisaje literario multicolor. Descubre algo de ti en estas páginas y averigua a dónde llevan los portales que el distanciamiento social ha abierto en las pantallas de nuestra conciencia.
Totem
A land of history, magic and legend.... Sarah Cooley, 14, and her friends want to return to Bear Valley in Olympic National Park before Buckhorn begins mining erbium, a substance rumored to detoxify coal.

Victoria Oldsea, Buckhorn's project manager, hopes to take her son Jared camping as a break from work before the mining begins. A terrible windstorm upends everything.

The Secret Legacy
Nobel Peace Prize winner and noted Maya activist Rigoberta Menchú Tum returns once more to the world of her childhood in The Secret Legacy. Seven-year-old Ixkem is chosen by her grandfather amongst all the villagers to inherit the responsibility for tending his special cornfield. Ixkem goes to the field and begins to shout and stomp to frighten away the animals who would like to share the harvest. Suddenly a mass of tiny creatures appear — the b'e'n — secret animal spirits of which there is one for every human on earth. They take Ixkem into the underworld, where she tells them the amazing stories that her grandfather has told her. In exchange the b'e'n whisper a secret for her to take to her grandfather.

Car Safety Wars
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...

No Accident
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...
Imaginación y sentido
Este es un libro colectivo. En más de un sentido. En primer lugar, recoge dinámicas y estrategias enfocadas a la creación literaria entre bachilleres, diseñadas e implementadas por pasantes o egresados de la carrera de Letras Hispánicas de la Universidad de Guadalajara que participan en el proyecto Luvina Joven, que coordina talleres de creación para estudiantes de preparatoria del Sistema de Educación Media Superior (sems) y algunos centros de la red universitaria. Pero a la vez estas actividades se nutren de un gran número de fuentes, muchas de ellas anónimas, porque derivan de las experiencias individuales de cada uno de los coordinadores de los talleres, recogidas a su vez de la participación tanto sistemática como informal en diversos espacios que se enfocan a estos mismos propósitos. La buena educación, a final de cuentas, es colectiva, y habría que remontarnos a nuestros maestros, y a los maestros de nuestros maestros hasta llegar al Primer Maestro, y seguir el proceso para identificar quién enseñó qué, con la consideración de que aquello que yo aprendí lo enseñaré a mi manera, y si mi alumno se vuelve maestro, continuará este proceso sin fin.
Estrogen Receptors
"This 8-chapter book is written by experts from China, Mexico, Portugal, United Kingdom and the United States of America. The book is focused on estrogen receptor structure, functions and clinical significance. Though we are unable to address all aspects of the estrogen receptors, we have analysed and discussed estrogen receptors or their isoforms in some major estrogen receptor-related disorders including cancers, endocrine diseases, respiratory diseases and obesity. The information provided by this book should aid our understanding the role of estrogen receptors in human diseases. This book will be of great value not only for clinicians interested in estrogen receptor-related diseases but also for basic scientists working in the field of estrogen receptors"--
