Ecosystem Services in Patagonia
This book aims to quantify and discuss how societies have directly and indirectly benefited from ecosystem services in Patagonia; not only in terms of provisioning and cultural services, but also regulating and supporting services. Patagonia, a region that stretches across two countries (ca. 10% in Chile and 90% in Argentina), is home to some of the most extensive wilderness areas on our planet. Natural grasslands comprise almost 30% of the Americas, including the Patagonian steppe, while Patagonian southern temperate forests are important for carbon sequestration and storage, play a pivotal role in water regulation, and have become widely recognized for their ecotourism value. However, prof...
Epidemiology of Electromagnetic Fields
Appeals to a Wide Audience Fueled by more than 30 years of intensive research and debate on the impact of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on everyday life—starting with residential exposure to magnetic fields and the development of childhood cancer in the 70s and continuing with risk of exposure via wireless communications in present day—Epidemiology of Electromagnetic Fields addresses ongoing public and scientific controversy surrounding the possible effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) to human health, and provides an in-depth introduction into the methodology of environmental epidemiology that is appropriate for all levels, from student to practicing engineer. Exposure to EMF Focusing...
Moving Verses
From Wild Tales to Zama, Argentine cinema has produced some of the most visually striking and critically lauded films of the 2000s. Argentina also boasts some of the most exciting contemporary poetry in the Spanish language. What happens when its film and poetry meet on screen? Moving Verses studies the relationship between poetry and cinema in Argentina. Although both the poetics of cinema and literary adaptation have become established areas of film scholarship in recent years, the diverse modes of exchange between poetry and cinema have received little critical attention. The book analyses how film and poetry transform each another, and how these two expressive media behave when placed in...

Erotismo velado y decoro en "María", de Jorge Isaacs
El erotismo escondido de la prosa isaacsiana no está solamente detrás de los encajes de María, o enredado en sus trenzas, o en sus miradas, ni en los mórbidos brazos de la mulata Salomé, está por todos los intersticios de su obra. En los rumores, aromas, texturas y colores de las descripciones vallecaucanas. En este universo narrativo se ve, se oye, se huele, se palpa y se prueba el erotismo detrás de cada rama, de cada hoja, de cada pliegue de las nubecillas de oro, de cada talle de cualquier mujer u hombre que está a su vista. Es un universo narrativo cuyo alcance va más allá del romanticismo lacrimógeno en el cual se ha querido encasillar, pero que, para fortuna de todos, está siendo reevaluado. Con toda certeza podemos llamar a este universo de Isaacs como el paraíso narrativo de la poesía americana del siglo XIX. La naturaleza es la más amorosa de las madres cuando el dolor se ha adueñado de nuestra alma, y si la felicidad nos acaricia, ella nos sonríe (Isaacs, 2005: 91).

It shifts critical focus from national identity and issues to a more multifaceted transnational, hemispheric, and global approach. Its emphasis is on the paradigm transition from the purportedly homogeneous to the heterogeneous.
