San Francisco's Castro
Nestled in the Eureka Valley area, the Castro is arguably the most well-known of San Francisco's neighborhoods, having been the epicenter of the gay rights movement since the 1970s. This new collection of photographs shows the area's growth from a smattering of Victorian houses built for working-class families in the 1870s to the flood of young gay men who settled in the neighborhood during the 1970s. This influx transformed the area and led to the rise of Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person elected to a major public office. This book also chronicles the 1978 assassination of Milk and Mayor George Moscone, the subsequent riots, and the effects of AIDS on the community in the 1980s and 1990s. Ultimately, these stirring images bear witness to the resilience of the Castro today.

IRIDIUM
Iridium é unha historia de amor. Ou é unha historia de discriminacións e inxustizas. Ou é unha historia sobre a amizade máis aló das dificultades. Ou é unha historia sobre unha raíña do Instagram e un malote moi malo. Esta novela conta a historia de Iris, unha rapaza que cursa primeiro de bacharelato e que, coma tantas e tantos do seu tempo, quere vivir a vida con intensidade. Pero Iris ten, ademais, unha discapacidade froito dun accidente de tráfico que lle deixa secuelas importantes. É unha raíña do Instagram, onde ten milleiros de seguidores en todo o mundo. Seareiros que ignoran o que lle pasa e que se o soubesen igual non a quererían tanto. É, pois, unha novela de denuncia da hipocrisía de moitos “normais” que desprezan a todas e a todos os que son diferentes. Mais, sobre todo, Iridium conta unha historia de amor. Porque todas e todos, independentemente do que nos suceda, sentimos igual. E Iris sente, e goza, e chora, e ri, e sofre coma calquera.
The Tupac Amaru and Catarista Rebellions
Portrays the three indigenous rebellions that threatened Spanish control of its South American colonies more than a quarter century before the Wars of Independence (1808-1825). This collection includes maps, a chronology of the rebellions, and a glossary of terms.
English-Spanish Translation, Through a Cross-cultural Interpretation Approach
As translation involves more than mere mechanics but as a discipline tied to cultural understanding, translators must focus on the dissimilarities and incongruities between the source and target societies, as well as their languages. Francisco Castro-Paniagua has written a book that will enable those involved in this process to begin to understand the differences between the Anglo-Saxon and Hispanic cultures in a more cohesive manner. Drawing from Lévi-Strauss, Paz, Hymes, among others, the author focuses first on a general theory of the two cultures, and then discusses their most basic traits. The work concludes by analyzing the published translations of two works.
