A to Z of Earth Scientists, Updated Edition
A to Z of Earth Scientists, Updated Edition is a comprehensive A to Z reference of Earth scientists in areas including plate tectonics, climate change, and planetary science. Designed for high school through early college students, this is an ideal reference of notable Earth scientists from the 19th century to the present. Featuring nearly 200 entries and 100 black-and-white photographs, this title uses the device of biography in order to put a human face on science—a method that adds immediacy to the prose for the high school student who may have an interest in pursuing a career in the earth sciences.

Cherokee DNA Studies
Most claims of Native American ancestry rest on the mother's ethnicity. This can be verified by a DNA test determining what type of mitochondrial DNA she passed to you. A hundred participants in DNA Consultants multi-phase Cherokee DNA Study did just that. What they had in common is they were previously rejected--by commercial firms, genealogy groups, government agencies and tribes. Their mitochondrial DNA was not classified as Native American. These are the "anomalous" Cherokee. Share the journeys of discovery and self-awareness of these passionate volunteers who defied the experts and are helping write a new chapter in the Peopling of the Americas. "The Yateses' DNA findings are revolutionary." --Stephen C. Jett, Atlantic Ocean Crossings. "Monumental."--Richard L. Thornton, Apalache Foundation.
The Carboniferous Timescale
The print edition is published as 2 hardback volumes, parts A and B, and sold as a set. The Carboniferous was the time of the assembly of Pangaea by the collision of the Gondwanan and Larussian supercontinents, and the principal interval of the late Paleozoic ice ages. These tectonic and climatic events caused dramatic sea-level fluctuations and climate changes and produced a Carboniferous world that was diverse topographically and climatologically, perhaps only rivalled in that diversity by the late Cenozoic world. Furthermore, the Carboniferous was a time of the accumulation of vast coal deposits of great economic and societal significance. The temporal ordering of geological and biotic ev...
Neuronorma.Colombia.
El envejecimiento poblacional es una realidad global, y Colombia no es ajena a dicho proceso; este cambio demográfico trae consigo la necesidad de diagnosticar e intervenir las enfermedades neurodegenerativas que afectan a dicha población; la evaluación neuropsicológica es un proceso fundamental para responder a esta necesidad. Este libro presenta el resultado de un Proyecto multicéntrico de normalización de instrumentos de evaluación en población mayor de 49 años, ofreciendo una herramienta estandarizada y fiable para el diagnóstico neuropsicológico. Se presentan las características metodológicas y de interpretación, así como la descripción rigurosa de casos clínicos con diferentes patologías del sistema Nervioso Central estudiados con la batería. Se ilustra su utilidad clínica y su rol dentro del proceso de evaluación. También se presentan perfiles gráficos realizados a través de la Unidad de Trabajo, herramienta que unifica la calificación, interpretación y presentación de los perfiles.
Lunáticos, eclécticos y elementales
La escritura como un proceso alquímico para liberar la voz interior a ese otro yo, un ser completo; una catarsis, aliviar sentimientos,; un modo de dejar constancia de lo vivido presentar un testimonio como en el caso de una activista yaqui, hablarle a la luna, musa de numerosas expresiones artísticas o hacer de alguno de los elementos: tierra, agua, aire y fuego, el personaje central de un relato: cualquiera que sea la motivación de cada autora o autor, siempre su aportación será original y parte de lo que desea mostrar a los demás, tal vez una suerte de legado.
Corpus Delecti
The most comprehensive volume on performance art from the Americas to have appeared in English, Corpus Delecti is a unique collection of historical and critical studies of contemporary Latin performance. Drawing on live art from the 1960s to the present day, these fascinating essays explore the impact of Latin American politics, popular culture and syncretic religions on Latin performance. Including contributions by artists as well as scholars, Fusco's collection bridges the theory/practice divide and discusses a wide variety of genres. Among them are: * body art * carpa * vaudeville * staged political protest * tropicalist musical comedies * contemporary Venezuelan performance art * the Chicano Art movement * queer Latino performance The essays demonstrate how specific social and historical contexts have shaped Latin American performance. They also show how those factors have affected the choices artists make, and how their work draw upon and respond to their environment.
