Libro que recorre la trayectoria vital de una de las mujeres más representativas de la historia de la Revolución cubana. La idea de abordar su vida desde la concepción de una biografía intelectual tiene como objetivo entender la evolución de su pensamiento a partir de su relación con el contexto histórico en el que se desenvolvió, referentes intelectuales y su propia praxis revolucionaria. Enfatiza su papel como presidenta de Casa de las Américas por su labor fundamental como fundadora y creadora de uno de los espacios más importantes dentro del panorama intelectual cubano. Esta biografía demuestra el valor de Haydée como intelectual orgánica de la Revolución cubana y como dirigente de una de las instituciones culturales más relevantes para la cultura latinoamericana y caribeña en el siglo xx.

El siglo XIX cubano estuvo marcado por dos ramas fundamentales de la economía y la agricultura en la nación, la producción de azúcar y tabaco. Este último atrajo la atención de empresarios y negociantes de todo el orbe. Es así como en el año 1840 el alemán Hermann Dietrich Upmann llega a las costas habaneras en busca de la prometedora fortuna. Esta es la historia de una época próspera, no solo para aquel alemán que fundaría una de las marcas de habanos más reconocidas hasta hoy, sino para otros que llegaron del país europeo. Al cabo, es la historia de una tradición cubana de producción y consumo de aquellas hojas enrolladas que ya disfrutaban los habitantes nativos de esta Isla.

Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
In the last 20 years, there has been a remarkable emergence of innovations and technological advances that are generating promising changes and opportunities for sustainable agriculture, yet at the same time the agricultural sector worldwide faces numerous daunting challenges. Not only is the agricultural sector expected to produce adequate food, fiber, and feed, and contribute to biofuels to meet the needs of a rising global population, it is expected to do so under increasingly scarce natural resources and climate change. Growing awareness of the unintended impacts associated with some agricultural production practices has led to heightened societal expectations for improved environmental,...
