The Art of Love (& Loathing)
Stephen Daniel Ruiz's debut novel is a character-driven first-person narrative about Arthur Kimble: an addict struggling with his sobriety, his shortcomings as a father, and his inability to accept change. Friends with an imaginary talking pigeon, Arthur is forced to face questions of integrity and principle while attempting to redefine his life.
When Forests Run Amok
Daniel Ruiz-Serna examines how the devastation caused by war impacts nonhuman inhabitants in the forests and rivers in the traditional lands of Indigenous and Afro-Colombian peoples.
Coconut Versus
This book is published by Floricanto Press.Everyone calls Miguel Reyes a coconut, brown on the outside and white on the inside. Among his family in central California, he's the too soft city-boy. His family try to teach him what it means to be a Reyes and to understand manhood and its value within a rural life. Miguel doesn't always want to be a man by their often-conflicting definitions. In Arizona, he's a brown boy in an upper-class, white neighborhood. He has no real friends as no one there seems to understand how someone could be brown without being poor. He spends most of his time alone or playing video games with his little brother Angel, yet Angel is already starting to excel past Mig...
Moro
A tan sólo 15 kilómetros de la península ibérica, al otro lado del Estrecho de Gibraltar, existe otro mundo. La linde del Estrecho es una cuchilla implacable que separa el Norte del Sur. "Moro" cuenta la historia de alguien del Sur que sueña con ser Norte. Y que decide transformar ese sueño en una realidad. La epopeya moderna de cientos de africanos que cada año atraviesan el Estrecho intentando construirse un futuro de prosperidad en Europa. Hassam, el protagonista de esta novela, decide “dar el salto” a la búsqueda de un mundo nuevo. Gracias al ejercicio de la violencia logrará sobrevivir en un entorno hostil y amenazante, ascendiendo paulatinamente en la escala social. A partir de una labor previa de trabajo de campo e investigación sobre las condiciones de vida de la inmigración ilegal, y con un estilo seco, áspero y punzante, "Moro" narra el ascenso y al mismo tiempo la degradación de un espalda mojada marroquí. Una historia que podría leerse como una novela de aventuras, si no fuera porque retrata comportamientos y hechos que están produciéndose en nuestra vida cotidiana y que no resultan nada complacientes.
The Persistence of Violence
Why is Colombia so violent? Beyond even the horrors of the conflict between the guerrilla, the paramilitary, and the government, the history of the nation is scarred by acts of violence. It has also been marked by resistance to that history--by moments of hope.The Persistence of Violence transcends the obvious places as sources and indices of this story, delving into the complex and conflicted world of popular culture, from football to television to tourism to the environment.

Bio- and Bioinspired Nanomaterials
A comprehensive overview of nanomaterials that are inspired by or targeted at biology, including some of the latest breakthrough research. Throughout, valuable contributions from top-level scientists illustrate how bionanomaterials could lead to novel devices or structures with unique properties. The first and second part cover the most relevant synthetic and bioinspired nanomaterials, including surfaces with extreme wettability properties, functional materials with improved adhesion or structural and functional systems based on the complex and hierarchical organization of natural composites. These lessons from nature are explored in the last section where bioinspired materials are proposed ...
Transient Stability of Power Systems
The market liberalization is expected to affect drastically the operation of power systems, which under economical pressure and increasing amount of transactions are being operated much closer to their limits than previously. These changes put the system operators faced with rather different and much more problematic scenarios than in the past. They have now to calculate available transfer capabilities and manage congestion problems in a near on line environment, while operating the transmission system under extremely stressed conditions. This requires highly reliable and efficient software aids, which today are non-existent, or not yet in use. One of the most problematic issues, very much needed but not yet en countered today, is on-line dynamic security assessment and control, enabling the power system to withstand unexpected contingencies without experienc ing voltage or transient instabilities. This monograph is devoted to a unified approach to transient stability assessment and control, called SIngle Machine Equivalent (S1ME).
