Zuamgenolu
Entre el primer Zuamgenolu y el presente “ha corrido abundante agua”. Entre 2016 y la actualidad, el pueblo mapuche ha sufrido varios y mediáticos vejámenes por parte del Estado chileno y la sociedad dominante. Con la publicación de esta segunda parte del libro Zuamgenolu sus autores invitan a releer, repensar y rediscutir el pasado, pero muy especialmente, a debatir en torno al presente y al futuro de las sociedades que cohabitan en el Wallmapu y en el Chile del siglo XXI. Los actuales procesos de revitalización de la lengua, visibilización de colectivos mapuche, arte, poesía y propuestas políticas de sus organizaciones, entre otros aspectos involucrados, hacen de este libro un d...

Epics of Empire and Frontier
First published in 1569, La Araucana, an epic poem written by the Spanish nobleman Alonso de Ercilla, valorizes the Spanish conquest of Chile in the sixteenth century. Nearly a half-century later in 1610, Gaspar de Villagrá, Mexican-born captain under Juan de Oñate in New Mexico, published Historia de la Nueva México, a historical epic about the Spanish subjugation of the indigenous peoples of New Mexico. In Epics of Empire and Frontier—a deft cultural, ethnohistorical reading of these two colonial epics, both of which loom large in the canon of Spanish literature—Celia López-Chávez reveals new ways of thinking about the themes of empire and frontier. Employing historical and litera...
The World Through Picture Books
"The World Through Picture Books (WTPB) is a programme of the IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section in collaboration with IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People) Children's Librarians all over the world understand how important picture books in both traditional and digital formats are for children, for their development, cultural identity and as a springboard into learning to read for themselves.

The 3rd edition highlights 530 picture books, from 57 countries and featuring 37 languages. It is fully digital and the catalogue as well as a poster and bookmark can be downloaded free of charge." --
Searching the Heavens and the Earth
Jesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.
