Oran. 1919. Frahona Aknin es una joven judía-sefardita que sumerge sus narices en una librería cada que puede y sueña con viajar por diferentes lugares para conocer a escritores, pintores y grandes pensadores. El destino la cruza con José Tomás Nieto, un médico colombiano que busca limpiar su alma del horror que lleva impregnado a causa de las cicatrices que le dejó la Primera Guerra Mundial. El amor que surge entre ambos los lanza a una travesía sin retorno que empuja a Frahona a desafiar su religión, su cultura y las tradiciones de su familia, decisión que pone sobre sus hombros una maldición que amenaza con acompañarla para siempre. Juntos intentarán oponerse al designio de las imprecaciones, a la París ocupada por los Nazis y al dolor constante del abandono que parece seguirlos a cualquier lugar que vayan. La dolorosa y emotiva historia de una vida marcada por la pérdida

For the last eighteen years we have been deeply involved in a cooperative effort with our Latin American colleagues in genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and molecular biology. We have been in close contact with scientists in a number of centers and have helped to organize symposia, workshops, and so forth, in an effort to accelerate their development and make their substantial work known. These symposia in Latin America have been quite successful. The fifteenth will take place in Brasilia in 1977. At the request of colleagues, we are in the process of developing a similar series in Asia. The first very successful symposium was held in Calcutta in 1973. We were most pleased when Dr. Amir Mu...
Genetic diversity is of fundamental importance in the continuity of a species as it provides the necessary adaptation to the prevailing biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, and enables change in the genetic composition to cope with changes in the environment. Genetic Diversity in Plants presents chapters revealing the magnitude of genetic variation existing in plant populations. The increasing availability of PCR-based molecular markers allows the detailed analyses and evaluation of genetic diversity in plants and also, the detection of genes influencing economically important traits. The purpose of the book is to provide a glimpse into the dynamic process of genetic variation by presenting the thoughts of scientists who are engaged in the generation of new ideas and techniques employed for the assessment of genetic diversity, often from very different perspectives. The book should prove useful to students, researchers, and experts in the area of conservation biology, genetic diversity, and molecular biology.
En los primeros años de la década de los cincuenta, Quirino Sandoval, joven barbero del barrio de Luyano, se ve obligado a tomar el camino del exilio (del primer exilio) hacia otros barrios menos conflictivos. Recala en la calle Veintitrés, cerca del cementerio. Allí encuentra trabajo en una antigua barbería regentada por la vieja matriarca Trina, acostumbrada por la falta de hombres a llevar las riendas de su negocio y su familia. Encuentra también amor, nocturno y clandestino, de la mano de la rotunda hija Trinita, y la amistad y la camaradería del nieto, Crisanto, empeñado en pulir su imagen y «desasnarlo». Mientras Quirino se entrega a un proceso de desarrollo personal que le a...

In 2018, the International Symposium on Nanogeoscience was held in Guiyang, China. Scholars from around the globe gathered to discuss recent progress and development trends in various aspects of nanogeoscience, including nanomineralogy. Nanomineralogy, an important aspect of nanogeoscience, focuses on the composition, structure, and physical and chemical properties of nanoscale minerals and their interrelations with other Earth critical components. To give a sampling of the latest progress in nanomineralogy and related fields, we offer this Special Issue, which describes a full range of recent nanomineralogic achievements relating to everything from nanominerals and geochemistry, mineral nan...
Written by some of the world's leading goat meat scientists, and drawing from the most recent publications in the field, this book comprehensively covers the most important areas of goat meat production. Chapters discuss the role of genetics, breeding, reproduction, and nutrition in producing good quality, profitable goat meat. The mineral, amino acid and fatty acid composition of goat meat is also addressed, along with a discussion of its nutritive value, aimed at highlighting its health benefits over other red meats.
