A Cuban City, Segregated
A microhistory of racial segregation in Cienfuegos, a central Cuban port city Founded as a white colony in 1819, Cienfuegos, Cuba, quickly became home to people of African descent, both free and enslaved, and later a small community of Chinese and other immigrants. Despite the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity that defined the city’s population, the urban landscape was characterized by distinctive racial boundaries, separating the white city center from the heterogeneous peripheries. A Cuban City, Segregated: Race and Urbanization in the Nineteenth Century explores how the de facto racial segregation was constructed and perpetuated in a society devoid of explicitly racial laws.

Glimpses
Glimpses is about an eye-opening look into three lives: Geneva, Marcella, and Tasha. They are very successful and hardworking women. Their paths in life have many turns, do-overs, stops, and starts. They own up to their actions, no matter the outcome. But whatever happens, they remain in each other’s lives, from grade school to present. They are an undivided force. Their challenges are shared and created through people they encounter, decisions made because of life’s ups and downs, thoroughly influencing the path to learning and growing confident and strong. Join the journey as the ladies travel the hills and valleys on the road to strength, understanding the elusive face of love . . .
Progress in Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis, Computer Vision, and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 21st Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition, CIARP 2016, held in Lima, Peru, in November 2016. The 69 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 131 submissions. The papers feature research results in the areas of pattern recognition, biometrics, image processing, computer vision, speech recognition, and remote sensing. They constitute theoretical as well as applied contributions in many fields related to the main topics of the conference.
Chemical Carcinogenesis
This volume will provide a contemporary account of advances in chemical carcinogenesis. It will promote the view that it is chemical alteration of the DNA that is a route cause of many cancers. The multi-stage model of chemical carcinogenesis, exposure to major classes of human carcinogens and their mode-of-action will be a focal point. The balance between metabolic activation to form biological reactive intermediates and their detoxification, ensuing DNA-lesions and their repair will be profiled. It will describe the chemical changes that occur in DNA that result from endogenous insults including epigenetic changes that lead to gene silencing. It will describe major mechanisms of mutagenesis, affects on tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes, and how cell-cycle check points can be by-passed by the "stealth-like" properties of chemical carcinogens. Environmental agents that can promote tumor formation will be discussed. The monograph will have wide appeal as a knowledge base for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty interested in this aspect of cancer causation and research.
Where No Ravens Fly
After a long hiatus following the death of his wife, Annie Blue, sometime Pinkerton Agent, Deputy US Marshal and freelance detective Lucas Santana is once again called to serve. The smooth-talking, well-read Wyoming private eye is ordered south to Riverton County Texas, to investigate the rumoured growing unrest there. Washington is worried that the ambitions of one man could destroy the peace on that lonely stretch of borderline. The ambitious Frank Vagg controls the local law on both the Mexican side and the Texas side of the Rio Grande, straddled as it is by his headquarters, the township of San Pedro. Santana's attractive contact, Henri Larsson, wary at first of the senior operative with the reputation for action, proves to be more of a match than he would like. Santana attracts trouble like horse manure attracts dung beetles and it isn't too long before he is compelled to use his big Colt. When the lead begins to fly he is joined by fellow Pinkerton agents Joshua Beaufort and Jacob Benbow and the body count grows in the grim, grey borderline county where no ravens fly.
The Dark Trail to Nowhere
Lucas Santana is a freelance range detective working for both the US Marshals Service and the Pinkerton Detective Agency in the 1880s. A wanted man in some States, he takes great care where he rides and has a number of off-the-cuff aliases - and is not too shy about lining his own pockets in order to finance his Wyoming Wildcat ranch. When a number of gold coins surface in South Texas, loot from a long ago three-quarters of a million dollar heist at the end of the Civil War, both Pinkerton and the US Marshals call on his services to find the source of that gold. The problem is, he is not the only one searching for it. Then when a fellow agent is murdered in cold blood, Santana's quest becomes personal and he sets off on the long dark trail to nowhere....
AACR 2016: Abstracts 1-2696
The AACR Annual Meeting is a must-attend event for cancer researchers and the broader cancer community. This year's theme, "Delivering Cures Through Cancer Science," reinforces the inextricable link between research and advances in patient care. The theme will be evident throughout the meeting as the latest, most exciting discoveries are presented in every area of cancer research. There will be a number of presentations that include exciting new data from cutting-edge clinical trials as well as companion presentations that spotlight the science behind the trials and implications for delivering improved care to patients. This book contains abstracts 1-2696 presented on April 17-18, 2016, at the AACR Annual Meeting.
Estudante blindado
Desde 2011 venho trabalhando com profunda paixão pelo desenvolvimento de Alta Performance nos Estudos de estudantes de todos os cantos do Brasil. Estudei Neurociência, Coaching, Programação Neurolinguística, tudo voltado para uma melhora na qualidade de vida de alunos do Ensino Médio, Vestibulandos e Estudantes Universitários, bem como concurseiros em geral. Demorei para sentir a segurança em dizer que sou um dos maiores especialistas no país em Rotina de Estudos. Aprendi com meus erros, e não quero que os mesmos sejam cometidos por outras pessoas. A vida é curta, não precisamos perder tempo. Cora Coralina disse que "nada faz sentido se não tocarmos o coração das pessoas", e, "feliz daquele que aprende o que ensina e transmite o que sabe." Tocar o coração de um estudante seria organizar a sua Inteligência Emocional, para juntos caminharmos de modo a potencializar os resultados em seus estudos. Organizar pensamentos, sentimentos, hábitos de vida, a mesa de estudos, abraçar e puxar a orelha. Tudo isso é encontrado neste livro. E pode acreditar: esse material irá mudar a sua vida.
