Paraula de la terra
Amb motiu de la investidura com a doctor honoris causa el professor Enric Valor, la Universitat de València reconeixia públicament la impagable tasca intel•lectual i cívica de l’insigne escriptor i gramàtic valencià. Ara, aquest volum aplega, a més dels parlaments de l’acte acadèmic i d’una bibliografia, un recull de gran interès documental –articles publicats en revistes i diaris des dels anys 30-, que ens mostra els aspectes menys divulgats del nostre autor. Es completa amb una tria dels millors estudis i comentaris sobre les seues obres. En suma, uns materials d’entranyable valor per resseguir la trajectòria d’aquest gran mestre de la paraula.
The Spanish Economy
This book examines the pattern of growth of the Spanish economy in the last few decades, and studies the causes of its labour productivity, and the special features characterising business cycles in Spain.
La Lucha
A front-line human rights defender fighting murderous impunity in the Mexican borderlands The Mexican border state of Chihuahua and its city Juárez have become notorious the world over as hotbeds of violence. Drug cartel battles and official corruption result in more murders annually in Chihuahua than in wartorn Afghanistan. Thanks to a culture of impunity, 97 percent of the killings in Juárez go unsolved. Despite a climate of fear, a small group of human rights activists, exemplified by the Chihuahua lawyer and organizer Lucha Castro, works to identify the killers and their official enablers. This is the story of La Lucha, illustrated in beautiful and chilling comic book art, rendering in rich detail the stories of families ripped apart by disappearances and murders—especially gender-based violence—and the remarkably brave advocacy, protests, and investigations of ordinary citizens who turned their grief into resistance.
Lurid & Cute
'I had this vision very clearly of a book in which I would record my total experience, and I knew how it should sound: with all the tones that no one ever admires, – the Gruesome, Tender, Needy, Sleazy, Boring, the Lurid and the Cute.’ In this way the hero of Adam Thirlwell’s new novel describes the book you hold between your hands: a delirious tale of backchat and low tricks, all of which begin when our hero wakes beside a woman who is bleeding, unconscious and not, unfortunately, his wife... And then, of course, events get very much worse. SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2015 WINNER OF THE E.M. FORSTER AWARD 2015
Disabling Obesity
Obesity is currently regarded as one of the major health challenges of the developed world. Excess body weight is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and even psychiatric problems and is estimated to cause nearly 3 million deaths per year worldwide. Obesity is not necessarily associated with comorbidities: there are indeed metabolically healthy obese individuals. Thus, we need to consider individuals presenting simple with obesity separately from those at risk of developing or who have already developed complex clinical states potentially leading to disability. Comorbidities can tip the balance of inde...
Nucleic Acids Chemistry
This book compiles recent research on the modification of nucleic acids. It covers backbone modifications and conjugation of lipids, peptides and proteins to oligonucleotides and their therapeutic use. Synthesis and application in biomedicine and nanotechnology of aptamers, fluorescent and xeno nucleic acids, DNA repair and artificial DNA are discussed as well.
Tejas Verdes
'We are not beggars. I am not here for you to cast your pity at me like breadcrumbs tossed to a cripple. Because I know you're listening to me; and my voice won't be silent, not yet.' Tejas Verdes ('Green Gables'), once a sea-side resort, was an infamous Chilean torture and detention centre during the early years following the Pinochet coup in 1973. Fermín Cabal's humane and powerful play traces the life of a young woman who vanished one night in Santiago. Beneath the tolling of the church bells, her voice and the voices of those who share her story ring out with poetic beauty and overwhelming love.
Transition Metals in Organic Synthesis
This volume is designed to disseminate practical expertise in this important and demanding area of chemistry to undergraduate and postgraduate students in universities and to researchers working in the chemical industry. The authors have considerable practical and teaching experience in theareas they cover. Topics include transition metal-promoted oxidations, palladium-catalysed carbon-carbon bond formation, ferrocene chemistry, applications of organoiron complexes in organic synthesis, applications of titanocene and zirconocene complexes in organic synthesis and arene chromiumtricarbonyl chemistry.
