Textbook of Ion Channels Volume II
The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes that provides a wide-ranging refer- ence source on ion channels for students, instructors and researchers. Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells; mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light, sound, odor, and taste; and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excit- able tissues, ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells, giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment, as well...
Food for the Few
Recent decades have seen tremendous changes in Latin America's agricultural sector, resulting from a broad program of liberalization instigated under pressure from the United States, the IMF, and the World Bank. Tariffs have been lifted, agricultural markets have been opened and privatized, land reform policies have been restricted or eliminated, and the perspective has shifted radically toward exportation rather than toward the goal of feeding local citizens. Examining the impact of these transformations, the contributors to Food for the Few: Neoliberal Globalism and Biotechnology in Latin America paint a somber portrait, describing local peasant farmers who have been made responsible for p...

Hemingway's Guns
Ernest Hemingway is a mythic writer and alpha male. As a hunter and conservationist, he drew greatly from the strong example of Theodore Roosevelt, and he much enjoyed teaching newcomers to shoot and hunt. Including short excerpts from Hemingway's works, these stories of his guns and rifles tell us as much about him as a lifelong, expert hunter and shooter and as a man.
Baskowie
Nacjonalizm nie jest przypadkowym zrywem, który pojawia się znikąd. Stanowi racjonalną i naturalną odpowiedź na zmiany społeczne, ekonomiczne i polityczne, które zachodzą dookoła nas całkowicie przemieniając rzeczywistość, która nas otacza. Takiego zdania jest autorka tej książki, która opowiada o powstaniu nacjonalizmu baskijskiego, jednego z najgorętszych nacjonalizmów europejskich. Głównym tematem książki jest proces powstawania współczesnego narodu, rozwój nacjonalizmu baskijskiego i kształtowanie się tożsamości narodowej Basków. Autorka przenosi nas w czasy końca XIX wieku i pokazuje, w jaki sposób modernizacja doprowadziła do rozwoju baskijskiej ideol...
Hollywood Goes Latin
In the 1920s, Los Angeles enjoyed a buoyant homegrown Spanish-language culture comprised of local and itinerant stock companies that produced zarzuelas, stage plays, and variety acts. After the introduction of sound films, Spanish-language cinema thrived in the city's downtown theatres, screening throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s in venues such as the Teatro Eléctrico, the California, the Roosevelt, the Mason, the Azteca, the Million Dollar, and the Mayan Theater, among others. With the emergence and growth of Mexican and Argentine sound cinema in the early to mid-1930s, downtown Los Angeles quickly became the undisputed capital of Latin American cinema culture in the United States. Me...
Historia traicionada
Es necesario justificar que España no es solo un hecho jurídico desde 1812, ratificado en 1978 —se lamenta el autor—, sino que es una nación histórica. En absoluto es una nación fallida sino un potente foco de cultura interior, y civilizador de medio mundo, que cristaliza en un mestizaje humano irrepetible. Hay que subrayarlo, no por falta de evidencia, sino por el complejo de inferioridad que nos atenaza. Estas páginas se ocupan de recordarnos que España es una nación histórica y no una nación de naciones puesto que ninguna de sus regiones tiene el espesor y la densidad cultural e histórica que atesora su conjunto; ninguna se explica por sí misma. Nuestra nación es diversa,...
Sorting Out the Mixed Economy
In the years after 1945, a flood of U.S. advisors swept into Latin America with dreams of building a new economic order and lifting the Third World out of poverty. By the 1960s, they had remade the country's housing projects, river valleys, and universities. In this groundbreaking book, the author shows the entanglement of American societies and the contradictory promises of midcentury statebuilding.
