Spanish Poetry of the Twentieth Century
Twentieth-century Spanish poetry has received comparatively little attention from critics writing in English. Andrew Debicki now presents the first English-language history published in the United States to examine the sweep of modern Spanish verse. More important, he is the first to situate Spanish poetry in the context of European modernity, to trace its trajectory from the symbolists to the postmodernists. Avoiding the rigid generational schemes and catalogs of names found in traditional Hispanic literary histories, Debicki offers detailed discussions of salient books and texts to construct an original and compelling view of his subject. He demonstrates that contemporary Spanish verse is ...

Historia de Cádiz
Si existe una ciudad con un pasado espléndido y largo al mismo tiempo, ésa es, sin lugar a dudas, Cádiz. Tres mil años aproximados de historia, su condición de casi isla abierta al Atlántico, al Mediterráneo, a Europa, África y América otorgan a su historia un poderoso atractivo. Desde sus lejanos orígenes, donde realidad y mitología se confunden, hasta los tiempos contemporáneos con su protagonismo en los grandes movimientos políticos del siglo xix, sin olvidar tampoco el largo periodo intermedio en que la ciudad se convertiría en puerta de las Indias y Emporio del Orbe, Cádiz constituye un punto de referencia obligado en la historia de España, de Europa e, incluso, del mund...

Additionally, the book covers the use ...
El Hierro a través de la cartografía [1507 - 1899]
La razón de ser de este libro es el estudio de la cartografía histórica de la Isla en todos sus aspectos. Normalmente, el historiador se apoya en la cartografía para fortalecer sus conclusiones o simplemente para ilustrar alguno de los hechos que narra. Sin embargo, el cartólogo o, si se quiere, el cartófilo, elabora toda la información a partir del mapa o plano y la historia pasa a ser una ciencia auxiliar. La isla de El Hierro es la más occidental de las islas Canarias. Con una superficie de 268,71 km2, es también la más pequeña del archipiélago canario. Los modernos volcanólogos consideran que la isla es el producto de una fractura tectovolcánica triple que forma una estrell...
Hybrid Nations
This book is an interdisciplinary study that addresses the critical role that gender plays in the formation of national identities in Latin America that are negotiated and challenged within extreme struggles for power. This study, which traverses the national landscapes of Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, and Guatemala and covers the time span between 1837 and 1946, is linked by the author's common strategy of employing gender codes in order to challenge overtly masculinist hegemonic political orders. One of the goals of this investigation is to explore the fissures that surface as a result of the ongoing fluctuations of gender codes, due in part to the diverse shifting of institutions of power during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. By disturbing deleterious conceptualizations associated with femininity and masculinity, one can embark upon new and open-ended readings of these historical national texts, and appreciate the groundbreaking strides of early revolutionary Latin American writers. -- Publisher description.

Inverse Methods for Atmospheric Sounding
Annotation Rodgers (U. of Oxford) provides graduate students and other researchers a background to the inverse problem and its solution, with applications relating to atmospheric measurements. He introduces the stages in the reverse order than the usual approach in order to develop the learner's intuition about the nature of the inverse problem.
