Este libro expone una tragedia que nunca debió suceder y que continúa ocurriendo. En la ribera del lago de Chapala, el más grande de México y la principal fuente de abasto de agua para la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara, se sufre una problemática ambiental, cultural y de salud, anclada en una historia de desigualdad e injusticia. Resultado de un amplio proyecto inter/transdisciplinario, el volumen da cuenta del proceso y los resultados de una investigación realizada en las comunidades de Mezcala y San Pedro Itzicán, cuyo propósito fue abordar el conjunto de violencias estructurales de las que son objeto sus pobladores a fin de facilitar la comprensión de los múltiples factores qu...

Ante la tendencia de minusvalorar el buen periodismo frente a los beneficios comerciales, el fracaso de dos proyectos de televisión y la contracción de un diario de larga data en la ciudad de Guadalajara, en este informe se documenta además la inoperancia de los mecanismos institucionales para la protección de periodistas y procesos que garanticen el derecho de acceso a la información. También se documenta el análisis del programa A toda máquina por su perfil oficialista que encubrió irregularidades del gobierno, y el estudio de dos publicaciones católicas: El Puente, de Ciudad Guzmán y el Semanario de la Arquideósesis de Guadalajara.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Home Reading Service

In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...

The Membranes

The Mosquito Bite Author

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

Enological Repercussions of Non-Saccharomyces Species 2.0

The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast species is currently a biotechnology trend in enology for which they are being broadly used to improve the sensory profile of wines because they affect aroma, color, and mouthfeel. They have become a powerful biotool to modulate the influence of global warming on grape varieties, helping to maintain the acidity, decrease the alcoholic degree, stabilize wine color, and increase freshness. In cool climates, some non-Saccharomyces can promote demalication or color stability by the formation of stable derived pigments. Additionally, non-Saccharomyces yeasts open new possibilities in biocontrol for removing spoilage yeast and bacteria or molds that can produce and release mycotoxins and, thereby, help in reducing applied SO2 levels.
