The Life and Times of Pancho Villa
Based on archival research, this study of Pancho Villa aims to separate myth from history. It looks at Villa's early life as an outlaw and his emergence as a national leader, and at the special considerations that transformed the state of Chihuahua into a leading centre of revolution.
A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse
Does gender condition politicians’ discourse strategies in parliament? This is the question we try to answer in A Gender-based Approach to Parliamentary Discourse: The Andalusian Parliament. This book, written by experts in the field of discourse analysis, covers key aspects of political discourse such as gender, identity and verbal and nonverbal strategies: intensification, enumerative series, non-literal quotations, pseudo-desemantisation, lexical colloquialisation, emotion, eye contact and time management. It provides a large number of examples from a balanced gender parliament, the Andalusian Parliament, and it focuses mainly on argumentation, since parliamentary discourse is above all argumentative. This book will prove invaluable to students and teachers in the field of discourse analysis, and more specifically of political discourse, and will also be very useful to politicians and anyone interested in communication strategies. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

Educar en valores en los albores del siglo XXI: Pensamiento estético-filosófico y comunicación
En los albores del siglo XXI se hace bien necesario estimular a las futuras generaciones universitarias para que se decanten por una conciencia responsable y decidida a la hora de educar en valores, atendiendo, como un camino edificante y enriquecedor, al binomio pensamiento estético-filosófico y comunicación. Para ello, los siete capítulos que articulan el diseño conceptual y arquitectura del presente volumen circunscriben su atención, entre la ciencia y la concepción artística, a la diversidad cultural educativa, las relaciones interdisciplinares y multidisciplinares, la transversalidad y, claro está, las acciones colegiadas y de coope-ración orquestadas por variados equipos de investigación procedentes de reconocidos centros académicos de naturaleza y proyección internacional.

Birds without a Nest
"I love the native race with a tender love, and so I have observed its customs closely, enchanted by their simplicity, and, as well, the abjection into which this race is plunged by small-town despots, who, while their names may change, never fail to live up to the epithet of tyrants. They are no other than, in general, the priests, governors, caciques, and mayors." So wrote Clorinda Matto de Turner in Aves sin nido, the first major Spanish American novel to protest the plight of native peoples. First published in 1889, Birds without a Nest drew fiery protests for its unsparing expose of small town officials, judicial authorities, and priests who oppressed the native peoples of Peru. Matto de Turner was excommunicated by the Catholic Church and burned in effigy. Yet her novel was strongly influential; indeed, Peruvian President Andres Avelino Caceres credited it with stimulating him to pursue needed reforms. In 1904, the novel was published in a bowdlerized English translation with a modified ending. This edition restores the original ending and the translator's omissions. It will be important reading for all students of the indigenous cultures of South America.
