Patrimonio emplumado de la Universidad del Norte. Guía de campo
El campus de la Universidad del Norte posee ese sutil y poderoso hechizo Caribe hecho de luces y brisas, de perfumes y cantos; su magia verde y fresca tiene el sello de la biodiversidad que convierte jardines y plazas en un oasis estético, intelectual y ambiental. El propósito de esta guía, que contiene una detallada descripción de 42 especies de aves, es visibilizar el patrimonio emplumado que pasa desapercibido para estudiantes, profesores, funcionarios y visitantes, para reconectarlos con la naturaleza circundante. Así mismo, la guía servirá como material de trabajo en la asignatura Aves del Caribe colombiano y para los ciudadanos interesados en el medio ambiente que no cuentan con...

A Better Man
Maya wants Nick to be less of a workaholic, to come home earlier, to spend some time with his children. Nick wants a divorce. With his mind made up, Nick is determined to leave. But it comes as a shock to realize how much it will cost him to walk away. As a stay-at-home mum, Maya is entitled to everything. Then an unlikely solution presents itself: Nick needs to act like a better man. If he plays the part of a good husband and father, Maya will become happier and more self-sufficient - and Nick's pay-out to her will be far cheaper. But as Nick pretends to be a better man he becomes one. He remembers why he fell in love with Maya, and what a great couple they can be. Everything seems to be back on track. Until Maya finds out exactly what Nick had been planning...
Romans and Blacks (Routledge Revivals)
Roman literature seems to provide plenty of instances of contempt towards foreign or black individuals, but it is an untenable assumption that such distaste amounts to a racist attitude, particularly considering how elusive the definitions of 'race' and 'racism' are. Making extensive use of developments in sociological theory and psychology, Romans and Blacks, first published in 1989, presents an innovative and illuminating picture of black-white relations in Roman society. It is argued that 'race' as a somatic identification that entails permanent and genetically transmitted social disabilities was absent, and that the main deference-entitling distinctions in the Roman world were socio-cultural rather than somatic. Therefore, Professor Thompson concludes, references to black skins and negroid features should be interpreted in aesthetic terms. This wide-ranging study brings welcome clarity to the discussion of blacks in the Roman world, and is valuable for all students of race relations as well as classicists and historians.
