"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year b...
A Twice-told Tale
Essays on Iberian views of the age of conquest through literature and cinema
Carlos Monsiv‡is
One of MexicoÕs foremost social and political chroniclers and its most celebrated cultural critic, Carlos Monsiv‡is has read the pulse of his country over the past half century. The author of five collections of literary journalism pieces called cr—nicas, he is perhaps best known for his analytic and often satirical descriptions of Mexico CityÕs popular culture. This comprehensive study of Monsiv‡isÕs cr—nicas is the first book to offer an analysis of these works and to place Monsiv‡isÕs work within a theoretical framework that recognizes the importance of his vision of Mexican culture. Linda Egan examines his ideology in relation to theoretical postures in Latin America, the U...
Self-Organized Arrays of Gold Nanoparticles
This thesis addresses the fabrication and investigation of the optical response of gold nanoparticle arrays supported on insulating LiF(110) nanopatterned substrates. Motivated by the discovery of the intriguing effects that arise when electromagnetic radiation interacts with metallic nanostructures, the thesis focuses on the application of bottom-up approaches to the fabrication of extended-area plasmonic nanostructures, and the optimization of their optical response. By developing a sophisticated effective-medium model and comparing the experimental findings with model calculations, the author explores the role of the interparticle electromagnetic coupling and array dimensionality on the collective plasmonic behavior of the array, giving insights into the physical mechanisms governing the optical response.
Surface Science
In this book "surface science" is understood in a broad sense, taken to include two-dimensional structures such as thin films and superlattices. Thecontributions reflect current research activities in surface and thin-film science in Latin-America, presenting a clear picture of the research centers, equipment and expertise available in the region in this rapidly developing field of physics. The topics treated cover the whole spectrum of the subject, with the latest theoretical results beingreported alongside details of industrial applications such as materials characterization and photovoltaic cells. Surface scientists, engineers and research admistrators will find this volume of interest.

Nada mexicano me es ajeno
Archivo abierto y a la par ámbar y cristal, "Nada mexicano me es ajeno: papeles sobre Carlos Monsiváis", reúne una miscelánea textual alborotada pero congruente y crítica. Esta alacena compuesta por 16 pliegos acecha y asedia ese espacio cultural, esa zona amistosa y adversaria llamada Carlos Monsiváis, cifra de una persona, autor de una obra y una escritura, personaje, agonista y protagonista, ícono y aun mito; que atraviesa este tren de papel. El volumen incluye seis cartas intercambiadas entre 1970 y 1972, por Carlos Monsiváis, desde Londres; con el crítico literario mexicano y hombre de letras José Luis Martínez, juiciosamente presentadas por su hijo Rodrigo Martínez Baracs. "Nada mexicano me es ajeno" es un libro plural sobre una persona multánime. Incluye a su vez una muestra de algunas caricaturas y un recuento de los exvotos luctuosos que periodistas, dibujantes, artistas, caricaturistas, intelectuales y amigos, le dedicaron con motivo de su transición a la otra orilla. Entre estas dádivas destaca la imagen creada por Rafael Barajas Durán "El Fisgón", que se brinda como portada.
