"This book traces the history of rock 'n' roll in Mexico and the rise of the native countercultural movement La Onda (the wave). This story frames the most significant crisis of Mexico's postrevolution period: the student-led protests in 1968 and the government-orchestrated massacre that put an end to the movement".--BOOKJACKET.

Pai de filho depressivo, é o resultado de uma longa experiência que vivi com a depressão de meu filho e que tem por finalidade chamar a atenção de pais, avós, professores, pastores e líderes para essa triste realidade. Em nosso caso, as duas tentativas de suicídio não alcançaram o resultado por intervenção milagrosa do Senhor, mas, infelizmente, nem todos os pais tiveram a mesma sorte. Não se trata de um manual técnico, mas sim de um descritivo analítico escrito em linguajar de fácil assimilação, cujo objetivo é o de alcançar o maior número de lares e famílias que lutam contra a depressão em suas casas. Este livro também é indicado, como obra de orientação e auxílio, a todas as pessoas que ainda que de maneira indireta mantenham contato com pessoas deprimidas e ansiosas. Por fim, esta obra não deve ser utilizada como substitutivo ao tratamento médico, mas sim como auxílio a todos aqueles que, assim como eu, passaram ou estão enfrentando um quadro depressivo na família, posto que apresenta respostas a uma série de questionamentos, tanto dos pais quanto dos próprios enfermos.

Medical Geology is a rapidly growing field concerned with the relationship between natural geological factors and human and animal health, as well as with improving our understanding of the influence of environmental factors on the geographical distribution of health problems. This book brings together the work of geoscientists and medical/public health researchers, which addresses health problems caused, or exacerbated by geological materials (rocks, minerals, atmospheric dust and water) and processes (including volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Among the environmental health problems discussed in this book are: exposure to toxic levels of trace essential and non-essential elements such a...
In this work, two new coefficients have been proposed: the Coefficient of Proportional Variance (Cpv) and the Coefficient of Content Validity (Ccv). The Coefficient of Proportional Variance proposes a solution to the problem of measuring and evaluating the relative variability of a given distribution, obviating the problems of subjective interpretation and value judgments. The mathematical relationship derived from the Cpv allows for a more precise and more scientific interpretation of relative variability of data. The Coefficient of Content Validity permits the calculation of the content validity for each item, as well as the total content validity, of any data collection instrument that has been subjected to the evaluation of several judges (Panel of Experts Technique). Until now, according to the psychometric and statistical literature, a quantitative estimator of the content validity of a measuring instrument had not been achieved.
