Viajeros hispanoamericanos en Madrid
Es una deliciosa recopilación de textos de autores y viajeros hispanoamericanos que pasaron por Madrid y describieron lo que vivieron y vieron, algunos con sorna otros con críticas, otros con nostalgia, otros con viveza, otos con la lógica visión de alguién de fuera y otros con planteamientos políticos. Todos ellos anunciando un Madrid decadente, o en esplendor, pero a la vez con la idea de que Madrid para ellos es un referente necesario. En sus páginas hay textos de gran belleza estética y algunos de fina ironía de autores tan renombrados como Martí, Darío, César Vallejo, Carpentier, Neruda, Guillén o Mario Vargas Llosa. Una nueva visión para los amantes de Madrid.

A Tale of Two Cedars
From May 24-28, 2010, an international symposium on western redcedar (Thuja plicata) and yellowcedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis [syn. Chamaecyparis nootkatensis]) was held at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The symposium was entitled "A Tale of Two Cedars" and brought together local, regional, national, and international experts to present cultural, biological, management and economic information on the two species. Although some papers or posters focused on just one of the cedars, many of the presenters covered both species and discussed the similarities and differences between them. This proceedings includes abstracts or short papers from all of the formal presentations or posters presented at the symposium.
