The Silence of the Dogs
Love for dogs is the source of The Silence of the Dogs, the story of two very different ones: Bonita was a street dog, while Spark was of a nobler lineage. They met and lived by chance-or destiny-in a strange, parallel world to our own. A moving story that celebrates the marvelous nature of dogs, The Silence of the Dogs expresses the tenderness and affection they feel and suffer because of humans. Often, when considering the ferocity of man touching the lives of most creatures, it seems that the intelligence and nobility of dogs are superior to that of humans. With real settings, such as Caracas, Bogota, Miami, Chicago, La Crosse, and Madison, Wisconsin; and real photographs, Bonita and Spark come to life in this most emotional of stories, set in these times of human cruelty and social injustice.
How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

El Silencio de Los Perros
El amor hacia los perros es el origen de El Silencio de los Perros, la historia de dos de ellos muy diferentes: Bonita, una perra callejera y Spark, un perro de noble cuna. Se conocieron y vivieron por azares del destino, en un mundo extraño paralelo al nuestro. Una historia conmovedora que celebra la naturaleza maravillosa de los perros, El Silencio de los Perros expresa la ternura y el cariño que estos llegan a sentir y a sufrir por los seres humanos. En muchas ocasiones, cuando la ferocidad del hombre toca la vida de casi todas las criaturas, parece que la inteligencia y nobleza de los perros son superiores a la de los hombres. En ambientes reales, tales como Caracas, Bogotá, Miami, Chicago, La Crosse y Madison, Wisconsin y con fotografías reales, Bonita y Spark cobran vida en esta historia, de las más emotivas que podamos leer en tiempos de crueldad humana e injusticia social.

The Great Woman Singer
Licia Fiol-Matta traces the careers of four iconic Puerto Rican singers—Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández, Ernestina Reyes, and Lucecita Benítez—to explore how their voices and performance style transform the possibilities for comprehending the figure of the woman singer. Fiol-Matta shows how these musicians, despite seemingly intractable demands to represent gender norms, exercised their artistic and political agency by challenging expectations of how they should look, sound, and act. Fiol-Matta also breaks with conceptualizations of the female pop voice as spontaneous and intuitive, interrogating the notion of "the great woman singer" to deploy her concept of the "thinking voice"—an event of music, voice, and listening that rewrites dominant narratives. Anchored in the work of Lacan, Foucault, and others, Fiol-Matta's theorization of voice and gender in The Great Woman Singer makes accessible the singing voice's conceptual dimensions while revealing a dynamic archive of Puerto Rican and Latin American popular music.
