The End of the World as They Knew it
Maps the shifting constructions of the space of the South in Argentine discourses of identity, nation, and self-fashioning. This book examines how representations of the South - as primitive, empty, violent, or a place of potential - inform Argentine liberal ideology.
The Argentine Novel
Long a scholar of Romance languages at Syracuse University, Lichtblau (1925-2000) extended his 1997 bibliography from 1990 through 1999 and added some earlier works left out of the original. Citations from the mother volume are included but without the critical commentaries and bibliographical references. The arrangement is alphabetical by author, and the articles discuss, in Spanish, both novels and critical studies of them and of the author. No index is provided.

How to Rise to the Top...and Stay There!
The present dire economic environment has greatly affected business and the opportunities for advancement or even holding a job. Even universities, although not directly in business, are feeling the impact of diminishing endowments, resulting in lower disposable funds and reduction in innovative, unproven programs, which, in the past, often led to breakthroughs. These conditions we hope are only temporary, and they will not affect careers in the long run. This book is written to guide the reader on how to progress in his or her chosen career, how to reach a high position in which one is actually in charge of a unit, department, school, or business and how to run it successfully.
Naked to the Bone
By the late 1960s, the computer and television were linked to produce medical images that were as startling as Roentgen's original X-rays. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic reasonance imaging (MRI) made it possible to picture soft tissues invisible to ordinary X-rays. Ultrasound allowed expectant parents to see their unborn children. Positron emission tomography (PET) enabled neuroscientists to map the brain. In this lively history of medical imaging, the first to cover the full scope of the field from X-rays to MRI-assisted surgery, Bettyann Kevles explores the consequences of these developments for medicine and society. Through lucid prose, vivid anecdotes, and more than seventy st...
Premios Nobel de literatura
Hasta ahora no existía ningún libro escrito por un especialista que hiciera un análisis crítico global de los escritores galardonados con el Premio Nobel, existiendo sólo información enciclopédica superficial y mayoritariamente procedente de fuentes oficiales, lo que bloquea la posibilidad de una mirada crítica del conjunto.

Imperial Technoscience
A study of science and technology practices that shows how even emergent aspects of research and development remain entangled with established hierarchies. In the last four decades, during which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a cutting-edge medical technology and a cultural icon, technoscientific imaginaries and practices have undergone a profound change across the globe. Shifting transnational geography of tecchnoscientific innovations is making commonly deployed Euro/West-centric divides such as west versus non-west or “innovating north” versus “non-innovating south” increasingly untenable—the world is indeed becoming flatter. Nevertheless, such dualist divides, ...
Gastrointestinal Radiology
Unique among all medical texts on the subject, this volume provides a direct, stepwise approach to the differential diagnosis of abnormal findings on gastrointestinal radiographs. Each of the book's 80 chapters shows a specific radiographic pattern...lists every disease entity it could possibly be...and helps the reader confirm, refine, or reject differential diagnoses to reach the best clinical diagnosis. Using a "pattern approach," chapters focus on specific radiologic abnormal appearances rather than disease entities and outline the typical signs, symptoms, and predisposing factors for the abnormality. This edition features hundreds of new images and a new section on MRI of the liver.
