Manual de historia del derecho. Tomo V
Esta obra, dividida en seis tomos, desarrolla la historia del derecho en Guatemala desde una visión analítica del jurista, es decir, a través de una lectura crítica de las normas jurídicas decretadas en el país en relación con el contexto histórico (estructuras sociales, políticas y económicas) y los procesos específicos circundantes al momento de su emisión. El quinto tomo inicia describiendo la restauración del sistema democrático, el Gobierno de Óscar Humberto Mejía Víctores (1983-1986) y el proceso de elaboración de la Constitución. Luego, se aborda el mandato de Vinicio Cerezo Arévalo, conocido como el primer Gobierno civil bajo la vigencia de la Constitución Política de 1985. Enseguida, se describe el segundo Gobierno civil liderado por Jorge Serrano Elías y el golpe de Estado acaecido en 1993. El tomo cierra con el mandato de Ramiro de León Carpio, caracterizado por las reformas constitucionales previas a la firma de la paz.
Self Portrait in Green
'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.

This is partially due to their antioxidant power since other interactions with cell functions have been discovered. What’s more, phenolic compounds are involved in many functions in plants, such as sensorial properties, structure, pollination, resistance to pests and predators, germination, processes of seed, development, and reproduction.
