Presents more than two hundred poems by sixteen Spanish and Latin American poets from the Renaissance and baroque periods and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in Spanish and in English translations by noted poets.
Juana Inés de la Cruz was acclaimed in her time as the "Phoenix of Mexico", America's tenth muse; a generation later she was forgotten. Rediscovered 300 years later, her works were reissued and she is now considered one of the finest Hispanic poets of the seventeenth century. Her works speak directly to our concern for the freedom of women to realize themselves artistically and intellectually. This anthology contains a selection of her poems.

Aquatic microorganisms are tidily related to the carbon cycle in aquatic systems, especially in respect to its accumulation and emission to atmosphere. In one hand, the autotrophs are responsible for the carbon input to the ecosystems and trophic chain. On the other hand, the heterotrophs traditionally play a role in the carbon mineralization and, since microbial loop theory, may play a role to carbon flow through the organisms. However, it is not yet clear how the heterotrophs contribute to carbon retention and emission especially from tropical aquatic ecosystems. Most of the studies evaluating the role of microbes to carbon cycle in inland waters were performed in high latitudes and only a...

El marido más firme (1620-21), es una comedia mitológica, en la que adorna la fábula de Orfeo con episodios cotidianos: bodas, celos, etc. y una acción secundaria en torno al personaje de Aristeo. Orfeo se decide por el tipo de amor marital que defiende la dios Diana, en oposición al carácter libidinoso que representa Venus. En El marido más firme Lope intenta dar lo máximo de sí al pretender, y conseguir, aunar un aparato escénico espectacular y la que es probablemente la acción más sólida de todas sus comedias mitológicas. Este interés se manifiesta desde el mismo inicio de la obra, momento en el que las dos tramas míticas comienzan a imbricarse de un modo tan íntimo que al final no se puede entender una sin la otra. Lejos estamos de las dos tramas paralelas que el autor presentaba en la temprana Adonis y Venus, en las que estos dos personajes poco o nada tenían que ver con la otra pareja protagonista, Atalanta e Hipómenes, unidos a los anteriores sólo por circunstancias coyunturales.
