Whilst studying abroad at Salamanca University, French student Natascha is tasked by her grandmother to discover the truth behind the disappearance of her English friend, Joan, who was happily married to a Spaniard before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Initially reluctant, Natascha is gradually drawn into the past and begins to uncover the tragic last few months of Joan’s life in the beautiful village of Santo Domingo, nestled beneath the Bejar Mountains. Her enquiries are hampered by the overwhelming reluctance of the locals to speak of that horrific period in history, but Natascha is undeterred in her determination to reveal the truth – even if it leads her into danger... Told in parallel is the story of Joan (or Juana); from her wedding in Burgos to the birth of her daughter and married life in Santo Domingo. This book details the violent struggles of civil war in a well-researched, emotionally-driven manner. Inspired by true events, it begins with Franco’s African army sweeping northwards, with killer squads employed to search out pockets of resistance. An uncompromising look at the plight of ordinary people during the horrors of the Spanish Civil War.
Are your children being taught scientific "proofs" that have already been disproven? Much of the world has been convinced to abandon God because of a few classic "proofs of evolution" in schoolbooks. The Vanishing Proofs of Evolution shows how one after another of these very convincing "proofs" has been found to be untrue. Don't just stand and watch while your kids and their teachers are being deceived. Give them the knowledge that will build their faith and help them help others. It's all explained in this scientifically-sound book, which clearly shows that true science supports the Creation position and disproves evolution. The book presents powerful evidence that God is the Creator, and concludes with an introduction to Him. Discover how easy it can be to defend the Creation position. Recommendation: “The Vanishing Proofs of Evolution” is an excellent source of the positive evidence for creation while describing the scientific evidence against the theory of evolution."

Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...
