The Syntactic Variation of Spanish Dialects
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the syntactic variation of the dialects of Spanish. More precisely, it covers Spanish theoretical syntax that takes as its data source non-standard grammatical phenomena. Approaching the syntactic variation of Spanish dialects opens a door not only to the intricacies of the language, but also to a set of challenges of linguistic theory itself, including language variation, language contact, bilingualism, and diglossia. The volume is divided into two main sections, the first focusing on Iberian Spanish and the second on Latin American Spanish. Chapters cover a wide range of syntactic constructions and phenomena, such as clitics, agreement, subordination, differential object marking, expletives, predication, doubling, word order, and subjects. This volume constitutes a milestone in the study of syntactic variation, setting the stage for future work not only in vernacular Spanish, but all languages.
William Hanson and the Texas-Mexico Border
"In his introduction to this manuscript, John Weber describes how, throughout his years of research on his earlier book on South Texas, he kept coming across the figure of William Hanson (1866-1931). Hanson appeared in reports of efforts to eliminate Mexican American voting in South Texas, in accusations of wrongdoing by Texas Rangers, and elsewhere. It wasn't until Weber completed his first book that he was able to go back into the archives, start pulling on threads, and begin to piece together a fuller picture of Hanson's life and activities. This project contains the fruits of his investigation. This is not a full biography of Hanson (the existing records do not really allow that), but ra...
Sepsis
Sepsis is the major cause of death in non-cardiologic intensive care units around the world. Every year, billions of dollars are consumed in the treatment of sepsis and in research to understand its complex pathophysiology and therefore obtain future therapeutic opportunities. Despite the efforts of the scientists and medical practitioners, the mortality rates are still high and the incidence of sepsis is increasing. In this book we provide an update on several aspects of sepsis. Starting from the history of the disease and finishing with treatment of sepsis-associated organ dysfunctions, this book offers a wide scope of well-written and complete reviews concerning pathophysiological and therapeutic characteristics of sepsis. We hope that the work of the authors will provide a significant forum of discussion on the topic, and increase the awareness of the healthcare team regarding the important aspects of early recognition and treatment of this severe condition.
Latin American Classical Composers
Building on the strengths of the first edition, the second edition of Latin American Classical Composers: A Biographical Dictionary presents expanded and updated coverage of its topic with an aim to be comprehensive. The authors have conducted exhaustive research to fill in gaps and correct minor errors in the first edition, adding young composers and documenting deaths since 1996, when the first edition appeared. Hundreds of composers are represented in this volume, which presents biographical data, including dates of birth and death, personal information about composers' background and training, and a selective listing of each composer's works. Sources for further study are noted within each entry. An index of composers by country rounds out this work.

Carotid Body: A New Target for Rescuing Neural Control of Cardiorespiratory Balance in Disease
The carotid body (CB) is in charge of adjusting ventilatory and cardiovascular function during changes in arterial blood gases. Regardless this essential function, the CB has been implicated in the sensing of other physiological signals such as changes in blood flow and glucose levels. More important, malfunction of the CB chemoreceptors has been associated with the progression and deterioration of several disease states such as hypertension, heart failure, renal failure, insulin resistance, diabetes and sleep apnea. Although the mechanisms involved in the alterations of the CB function in pathophysiology are currently under intense research, the development of therapeutic approaches to rest...
La gestión política de la moneda y la edificación de la hacienda pública mexicana, 1825-1857
El presente libro es un acercamiento a la historia fiscal y monetaria mexicana a partir de la construcción de una categoría de análisis denominada gestión política de la moneda. Este planteamiento es producto del estudio de las condiciones que hicieron posible la apertura de casas de moneda estatales y su arrendamiento a compañías privadas a partir de 1825. Las cecas de Guanajuato, Zacatecas y la Ciudad de México sirven de escenario para mostrar el funcionamiento de estos acuerdos contractuales, los ajustes que sufrieron a lo largo del tiempo, la operación de arreglos institucionales (formales e informales), así como la agencia de actores públicos y privados, tanto nacionales como...
La caída del Imperio Otomano y la creación de Medio Oriente
Este libro da seguimiento a uno de los cambios más extraordinarios conocidos por el mundo moderno, cuando después de la Gran Guerra, en 1918, el Imperio Otomano culminó una era de grandes realizaciones. Una profunda transformación tuvo lugar para dar origen a nuevos países, por lo general en los territorios que había mantenido bajo su dominio durante cuatro siglos. Ahora parece imposible imaginar que en la extensión de ese imperio, albergaran su historia varias naciones y culturas, con diferentes religiones y distintas lenguas. Con la intervención de las potencias como el Imperio Británico, Francia y Estados Unidos, principalmente, se crearon; Siria, Líbano, Egipto, Jordania, Irak,...
