Jamás imaginó Simón Tapia Colman que la defensa de sus ideales lo abocaría a un amargo exilio. Músico polifacético y con un futuro prometedor, todas sus expectativas quedaron truncadas con el devenir de la guerra civil española, donde luchó en el bando de los vencidos. Su optimismo, vitalidad y ausencia total de rencor lo llevaron a emprender una nueva vida allende los mares. En tierras mexicanas renació a la esperanza, encontró el amor, dio abundantes frutos, alcanzó la fama y contribuyó al progreso de la cultura musical de la patria que lo acogió. Su vida es, en síntesis, su legado, tallado en múltiples facetas. Una historia apasionante, con la música como motor, protagonizada por un personaje de excepción
Los continuos flujos migratorios en, desde y hacia el continente americano constituyen uno de los fenómenos que más repercusión ha tenido en el devenir musical de los diferentes países que conforman las Américas. La música, con representaciones múltiples y como protagonista en condiciones migratorias transoceánicas, viajó a distintos contextos y estableció relaciones en torno a ejes transversales que requieren para su abordaje de diferentes aproximaciones metodológicas y una mirada amplia, más allá de fronteras geopolíticas. El presente volumen, que reúne una selección de textos en castellano, portugués, inglés y francés de investigadores de América Latina, Europa y Estad...
The objective of this book is to disseminate the rich history of the guitar in Latin America, with special emphasis on Mexico, covering a period that goes from the viceregal age to the present day. The collaborators are some of the most outstanding guitarists and researchers of the instrument from Chile, Mexico, Guatemala and the United States. The chapters aim to explore the composers, performers, repertoire and construction of the guitar since the sixteenth century in Latin America and the US, but also to comprehend the social role and economic ecosystem of the instrument. Due to the long chronology proposed, the book not only deals with the modern guitar, but also with the baroque guitar, and there is even a chapter dedicated to the traditional instruments that have historically been heirs to the Spanish guitar. The originality of this work resides in the use of historical and humanistic tools. It is based on a current bibliography, and it is one of the first books published in English on the history of the guitar in Latin America.

The relatively new technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) is an important tool to prepare samples both in the lab and on-site. SPME is a "green" technology because it eliminates organic solvents from analytical laboratory and can be used in environmental, food and fragrance, and forensic and drug analysis. This handbook offers a thorough background of the theory and practical implementation of SPME. SPME protocols are presented outlining each stage of the method and providing useful tips and potential pitfalls. In addition, devices and fiber coatings, automated SPME systems, SPME method development, and In Vivo applications are discussed. This handbook is essential for its discussion of the latest SPME developments as well as its in depth information on the history, theory, and practical application of the method. - Practical application of Solid Phase Microextraction methods including detailed steps - Provides history of extraction methods to better understand the process - Suitable for all levels, from beginning student to experienced practitioner

From molecular biology to anthropology, statistics to ancient DNA, this first volume of three presents a comprehensive global picture and a critical appraisal of human mitochondrial DNA variation.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to text forming resources in English, along with practical procedures for analysing English texts and relating them to their contexts of use. It has been designed to complement functional grammars of English, building on the generation of discourse analysis inspired by Halliday and Hasan's Cohesion in English. The analyses presented were developed within three main theoretical and applied contexts: (i) educational linguistics (especially genre-based literacy programmes) (ii) critical linguistics (as manifested in the development of social semiotics) and (iii) computational linguistics (in dialogue with the various text generation projects based on systemic approaches to grammar and discourse). English Text's major contribution is to outline one way in which a rich semantically oriented functional grammar can be systematically related to a theory of discourse semantics, including deconstruction of contextual issues (i.e. register, genre and ideology). The chapters have been organized with the needs of undergraduate students in theoretical linguistics and postgraduate students in applied linguistics in mind.
