En nuestro folclor colombiano, la Patasola es una mujer monstruosa que tiene una sola pierna en forma de pezuña y un aspecto aterrador. Sin embargo, es la protectora de los animales y del medio ambiente. En esta historia una firma petrolera extranjera se instala en un lugar de los llanos orientales para perforar la tierra, con el consecuente daño ecológico. Uno de los personajes principales, "el gringo", es además abusivo y desconsiderado con los animales silvestres que encuentra a su paso, lo que despierta la ira de la Patasola. Es una obra de teatro para niños desde los diez años, que ofrece divertidas situaciones, y, a la vez, despierta la conciencia del cuidado de los recursos hídricos, la flora y la fauna, en los jóvenes lectores. Al final presenta sugerencias de montaje, vestuario, caracterización de personajes y escenografía, que facilitarán la puesta en escena.
The first hemispheric study to trace how women in the Americas obtained the right to vote, Women's Suffrage in the Americas pushes back against the misconception that women's movements originated in the United States. The volume brings Latin American voices to the forefront of English-language scholarship. Suffragists across the hemisphere worked together, formed collegial networks to support each other's work, and fostered advances toward women gaining the vote over time and space from one country to the next. The collection as a whole suggests several models by which women in the Americas gained the right to vote: through party politics; through decree, despite delays justified by women's supposed conservative politics; through conservative defense of traditional roles for women; and within the context of imperialism. However, until now historians have traditionally failed to view this common history through a hemispheric lens.

Moot Court competitions constitute an alternative model of human rights training, giving students the skills to contribute to the development of international human rights law and thus make them qualified advocates for human rights change in their home countries and abroad. By focusing on the perfection of oral as well as written skills, participants are more likely to be successful not only in cases brought before their home courts, but in front of international tribunals and other organs. Such competitions have opened the doorway for more human rights classes in law schools, more clinical training programs, more NGOs dedicated to human rights law, and overall more lawyers dedicated to participating in an expanded notion of a human rights community. As demonstrated in this volume, moot court competitions have revolutionized human rights legal education in Africa, Europe and the Americas.
