La muerte y la novela
En las obras de Darío Jaramillo Agudelo y Tomás González la muerte constituye una inquietud permanente. Pero ante ella, a diferencia de las visiones que la asocian con fatalismo y tragedia, con la total degradación y la derrota, estos autores exploran una perspectiva intermedia que contiene tanto lo atroz como la posibilidad de experimentar cierto bienestar, cierta libertad. En La muerte y la novela: Del escepticismo a la plenitud en Darío Jaramillo Agudelo y Tomás González se abordan las narraciones Memorias de un hombre feliz y Las noches todas desde la anterior perspectiva, mostrando cómo en ellas la conciencia de la finitud modifica la representación del mundo de los personajes ...
Coastal Bottom Boundary Layers And Sediment Transport
This book is intended as a useful handbook for professionals and researchers in the areas of Physical Oceanography, Marine Geology, Coastal Geomorphology and Coastal Engineering and as a text for graduate students in these fields. With its emphasis on boundary layer flow and basic sediment transport modelling, it is meant to help fill the gap between general hydrodynamic texts and descriptive texts on marine and coastal sedimentary processes. The book commences with a review of coastal bottom boundary layer flows including the boundary layer interaction between waves and steady currents. The concept of eddy viscosity for these flows is discussed in depth because of its relation to sediment d...

State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
