La Jirafa
En 2004 nace La Jirafa. Los miembros del taller literario de la Casa de la Cultura contaban ya con un espacio para publicar sus trabajos: una columna semanal en El Diario de Zapotlán, generada por Milton Peralta. Después se publicaría dos veces a la semana y terminaría convirtiéndose en una sección sabatina, de una, dos y hasta tres páginas dedicadas a la cultura. Es cierto que había espacios para los jóvenes del taller en El ágora del Diario de Colima, Crisol, Orfeo e incluso Luvina, sin embargo era necesario un escaparate permanente y que además tuviera presencia inmediata en la ciudad, una revista o una editorial estaban lejos del presupuesto y La Jirafa resultaba la mejor opción. Las consecuencias de La Jirafa se manifestaron rápidamente. Varios alumnos del taller ganaron el certámen de poesía Juegos Florales de Zapotlán y otros tantos fueron contratados por periódicos locales, hubo quien obtuvo estímulos a la creación a nivel estatal. Para 2006 en coordinación con el Archivo Histórico de Zapotlán salió a la luz la colección Estación Sur, media docena de bien cuidadas plaquetas, cuyo objetivo era publicar la ópera prima de los autores en ciernes.
WJP Rule of Law Index 2016
The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
Obras escogidas
La obra de ficción de Guillermo Jiménez es prácticamente imposible de conseguir, el lector común o el estudioso de la literatura se enfrenta a esta carencia que ni la panacea de internet puede solucionar. Exceptuando un volumen que publicó la UNAM, otro par a cargo del Archivo Histórico de Zapotlán el Grande, por cierto con escasa o nula distribución en las librerías, y una novela corta en la web, sólo se puede constatar la existencia de la obra de este zapotlense por referencias bibliográficas especializadas. Ante esta realidad el Centro Universitario del Sur y la Editorial Universitaria de la Universidad de Guadalajara abrazaron el proyecto de conjuntar en un volumen la obra de ...
Beach Management Tools - Concepts, Methodologies and Case Studies
This book provides an overview of beach management tools, including carrying capacity, beach nourishment, environmental and tourism awards (like Blue Flag or others), bathing water quality, zoning, beach typologies, quality index, user's perception, interdisciplinary beach monitoring, coastal legislation, shore protection, social and economic indicators, ecosystem services, and coastal governance (applied in beach case studies). Beaches are one of the most intensely used coastal ecosystems and are responsible for more than half of all global tourism revenues, and as such the book introduces a wide range of state-of-the-art tools that can be used to deal with a variety of beach challenges. Each chapter features specific types of tools that can be applied to advantage in beach management practices. With examples of local and regional case studies from around the globe, this is a valuable resource for anyone involved in beach management.
A Guide to the Latin American Art Song Repertoire
A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.
Wildlife of the Tibetan Steppe
The Chang Tang, the vast, remote Tibetan steppe, is one of the most forbidding places on earth. Yet this harsh land is home to a unique assemblage of large mammals, including Tibetan antelope, gazelle, argali sheep, wild ass, wild yak, wolves, snow leopards, and others. Since 1985, George B. Schaller and his Chinese and Tibetan co-workers have surveyed the flora and fauna of the Chang Tang. Their research provides the first detailed look at the natural history of one of the world's least known ecosystems.
Ibrahim & Reenie
Ibrahim is a young Muslim guy walking from Cardiff to London. He has his own reasons, and his own mental and physical struggles to deal with along the way. What he hadn't counted on was a chance meeting with 75-year-old East Londoner Reenie before he's hardly started. With her life's luggage in a shopping trolley, complete with an orange tent and her pet cockatiel, Reenie is also walking the M4, and not for charity. As they share a journey their paths stretch out before and behind them into the personal and political turns of European history in ways neither could have foreseen. An impressive and daringly human book from novelist David Llewellyn.
Entrepreneurial Selves
Entrepreneurial Selves is an ethnography of neoliberalism. Bridging political economy and affect studies, Carla Freeman turns a spotlight on the entrepreneur, a figure saluted across the globe as the very embodiment of neoliberalism. Steeped in more than a decade of ethnography on the emergent entrepreneurial middle class of Barbados, she finds dramatic reworkings of selfhood, intimacy, labor, and life amid the rumbling effects of political-economic restructuring. She shows us that the déjà vu of neoliberalism, the global hailing of entrepreneurial flexibility and its concomitant project of self-making, can only be grasped through the thickness of cultural specificity where its costs and pleasures are unevenly felt. Freeman theorizes postcolonial neoliberalism by reimagining the Caribbean cultural model of 'reputation-respectability.' This remarkable book will allow readers to see how the material social practices formerly associated with resistance to capitalism (reputation) are being mobilized in ways that sustain neoliberal precepts and, in so doing, re-map class, race, and gender through a new emotional economy.
Industrial Communications and Networks
Wireless communications are the primary means of industrial communications. They facilitate faster and accurate communication as well as transfer of data for varied purposes. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in this field in recent times. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of industrial communications and networks. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of industrial communications as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
