Empty Stone | Piedra vac’a
Subtraction is the word that designates the writing operation that Felipe García Quintero practices in Empty Stone. The operation is difficult because it is performed on the heart of the contemporary poetic problem. It would seem impossible to dive into the difficulty of the action without falling into the melodrama: is there any awareness of what is at stake when one assumes to reflect on writing and poetic language, without any hint of fear, in front of everything that has been said on the subject? Impossibility seemed cold before reading Empty Stone. Now I know its temperature, its warm condition, its simple act of being in favor, not knowing exactly of what. True uncertainty, the very one, inhabits this Empty Stone. Eduardo Milán Restar es la palabra que designa la operación de escritura que emplea Felipe García Quintero en Piedra vacía. La operación es difícil porque se realiza sobre el corazón del problema poético contemporáneo.
Fat Kid Rules The World
When Troy (a hugely overweight social leper) befriends Curt (a skinny homeless punk guitar genius), they both get much more than they bargained for. Troy's macho brother and ex-Marine father think Curt is just a junkie loser - but as Curt stopped Troy's suicide attempt, Troy can't just forget him. Curt recruits Troy as the new drummer in his punk band - but Troy has never played the drums in his life. When Curt's around, though, almost anything seems possible. An outstanding, heart-warming, funny, edgy, debut novel.
Nanotechnology in Cement-Based Construction
Many books on new smart materials are available, but specialized analysis of particular topics is still in high demand. This multiauthor book focuses on applying nanotechnology to cement-based materials to make numerous engineering applications possible. The addition of novel smart nanofillers allows the development of multifunctional composite materials, not just limited to improving mechanical strength, but also including several enhanced features. Special attention is devoted to types of nano-inclusions, novel techniques to mix components, and analysis of properties that can be achieved by paste, mortar, or concrete if added with nanofillers. Among these properties, the capability of self...
Crazy Horse's Girlfriend
Margaritte, an American-Indian teenager trapped in the Denver suburbs, deals drugs, gets pregnant, and fights against a life she hates.
Human and Animal Models for Translational Research on Neurodegeneration: Challenges and Opportunities From South America
Neurodegenerative diseases are the most frequent cause of dementia, representing a burden for public health systems (especially in middle and middle-high income countries). Although most research on this issue is concentrated in first-world centers, growing efforts in South America are affording important breakthroughs. This emerging agenda poses new challenges for the region but also new opportunities for the field. This book aims to integrate the community of experts across the globe and the region, and to establish new challenges and developments for future investigation. We present research focused on neurodegenerative research in South America. We introduce studies assessing the interpl...

The Armies
In a small town in the mountains of Colombia, Ismael, a retired teacher, spends his mornings gathering oranges in the sunshine and spying on his neighbour as she sunbathes naked in her garden. Returning from a walk one morning he discovers that his wife has disappeared. Then more people go missing, and not-so-distant gunfire signals the approach of war. Most of the villagers make their escape, but Ismael cannot leave without his Otilia. He becomes an unwilling witness to the senseless civil war that sweeps through his country with a tragic inevitability. In The Armies Rosero has created a hallucinatory, relentless, captivating narrative often as violent as the events it describes, told by an old man battered by a reality he no longer recognizes.
