Death Ryders
DON'T DANCE WITH THE DEVIL When you make a deal with the Devil, something is guaranteed to go wrong. Diego Ramos learns this the hard way as his deal with Satan turns rotten, and Hell's Death Ryders are sent to collect on the bounty that's been placed on his head. In this dark and cheeky story, anything can happen--especially when demons, vampires, and witches come along for the ride. With the help of a stranger, will Diego be able to escape the unrelenting Death Ryders, or is he fated to meet his end on Earth, only to begin an eternity in who knows where?
The Plan de San Diego
The Plan of San Diego, a rebellion proposed in 1915 to overthrow the U.S. government in the Southwest and establish a Hispanic republic in its stead, remains one of the most tantalizing documents of the Mexican Revolution. The plan called for an insurrection of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and African Americans in support of the Mexican Revolution and the waging of a genocidal war against Anglos. The resulting violence approached a race war and has usually been portrayed as a Hispanic struggle for liberation brutally crushed by the Texas Rangers, among others. The Plan de San Diego: Tejano Rebellion, Mexican Intrigue, based on newly available archival documents, is a revisionist interpretati...

Quichean Civilization
The Quiche state in Guatemala flourished for several centuries before being destroyed by the conquistadors in 1524. During the early years of the ensuing period, the Quicheans recorded their past history and legends, writing in their own language but using the Latin alphabet. Many of these chronicles have survived, each illuminating various aspects of pre-conquest Quichean culture. Organized in six sections, Quichean Civilization categorizes all the documented sources describing the Quiche Maya. I. Introduction II. Native Documents III. Primary Spanish Documents IV. Secondary Sources V. Modern Anthropological Sources VI. A Case Study: Título C'oyoi This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1973.
Diseño creativo: manual de ideas
La intuición y las corazonadas son como puertas que se abren para permitir que salga algo oculto del interior. Es eso que se conoce como "talento". Aquello que sabemos hacer mejor, lo disfrutamos intensamente y su resultado siempre es sorprendente, porque habla de lo que somos, no de lo que aparentamos ser. Hay que hacer para pensar y hay que pensar para hacer. Es un diálogo entre el cerebro y la mano. Teoría y práctica que se relacionan mediante comportamientos cotidianos conjuntos. Por ello, no hay límites más que los que uno mismo se impone, y hay quienes prefieren separar el pensar del hacer. Si los integras, logras elevar el nivel de tu Diseño Creativo. Diseño creativo de Juan Diego Ramos Betancur, con una escritura cálida y cercana, ofrece en cada uno de sus capítulos reflexiones que nacen de una fecunda experiencia de docencia que, si bien se ha alimentado en libros e investigaciones, ha tenido como fuente a la vida misma y su pulsión creadora. Por eso, esta escritura, sus ideas y relatos son un homenaje a la libertad de nuestro hacer cotidiano. Y a la alegría de ese hacer.

In the Hands of Strangers
In the Hands of Strangers is a collection of sixty-seven documents by writers and witnesses from the past, both black and white, that offer perspectives on the trade and movement of slaves. Many elucidate the long-standing discord between North and South over the issue of slavery. Documents are divided into three parts that cover the African slave trade, the internal U.S. slave trade, and the series of conflicts and crises that led to the Civil War. They cover a variety of topics including the forced transport of slaves throughout East Coast and Gulf Coast states, buying and selling of slaves, increasingly contentious debates over the legitimacy of slavery, and effects of the breakup of families. The volume concludes with a brilliant essay by Frederick Douglass that asks the question: &"What shall be done with the Negro?&"
