Описание: The apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the capital of New Spain (Now Mexico City) on December 12th 1531 triggered an international alarm. Despite the slow communications of the age, the news was evaluated, transmitted, and action was taken as shown by the incendiary attempt on the Holy Shroud of Turin on December 4th 1532 at Chambery. The damage there suffered stands as a milestone, connecting both otherworldly images by a criminal plan to destroy them. The Calvinist headquarters, headed at the time by Guillaume Farel became immediately suspect, as Geneva stands barely 50 miles away from Chambery, and the accusations against them are well founded. This is a Historical novel grounded on solid facts. Novelizing to introduce the results of a multidisciplinary approach gives better entertainment without sacrificing information, which, as in this case, is followed by all the necessary underpinnings. Of general interest are the reasons ─both historical and theological─ of real events that make this fast moving, well researched, and fact-packed short novel worth reading. And the information, filling the historical vacuum on the motivation of both sides through the three Jewish-Roman wars that destroyed Israel, is just as important and entertaining.

Описание: Following World War I, and aided by the many German and Italian immigrants, the aviation industry of Latin America developed their first commercial airlines from Axis pre-WWII aircraft. While Latin American commercial aviation was greatly influenced by the German aviation industry, its military aviation focused pimarily on Italian combat aircraft. This new book features many famous Axis aircraft from the inter-war period, including the Junkers Ju 52/3m and F.13 transports, the Dornier Do J Wal flying boat, the Focke Wulf Fw 58 Weihe, the Fiat CR.20 fighter, as well as the only Japanese type, the Mitsubishi Betty. This colorful and detailed history will be of interest to WWII aviation enthusiasts and modelers alike.

Описание: In 1961 - two years after a revolution in Cuba overran the government of Fulgencio Batista - a group of Cuban exiles (backed by the CIA) landed on the beaches of the Bay of Pigs in an attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro from the new government. After three days of intense fighting on the beaches and swamps around the area, the invaders were defeated by Castro's forces and most of them surrendered, while a few managed to escape to the ships. Failures in the plans developed by the CIA and the lack of decision by the Kennedy administration were decisive in a fiasco that became one of the most shameful defeats by a US-backed operation in the 20th century. Among the forces that defended the Cuban Revolution, the Revolutionary Air Force played a key role - despite their lack of operational planes and pilots - sinking the main transport ships of the expeditionary force and forcing the others to leave, while abandoning the invading force on the beaches until they ran out of ammunition. Also, they won the control of the air space over the area - denying their use to the A-26 Invaders of the exiles - and thus leaving the ground forces with no close air support. The exiles fought remarkably against a much more powerful enemy and even won the first round of combat, but the lack of support left them with no ammunition or food, while the enemy forces thrown against them grew more and more as the hours since the landing passed by. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and had to surrender. After more than 50 years, much was written about the invasion, but only ever showing one side of the coin - told by veterans or historians from the Castro side their part of the story (and being highly subjective in the process). This book attempts to show the full picture from an objective point of view - gathering information from some of the few veterans still alive and from information both previously published and never published before.

The first book-length study of Latina/o experiences in World War II over a wide spectrum of identities and ancestries—from Cuban American, Spanish American, and Mexican American segments to the under-studied Afro-Latino experience—Latina/os and World War II probes the controversial aspects of Latina/o soldiering and citizenship in the war, the repercussions of which defined the West during the twentieth century. The editors also offer a revised, more accurate tabulation of the number of Latina/os who served in the war.
Spanning imaginative productions, such as vaudeville and the masculinity of the soldado razo theatrical performances; military segregation and the postwar lives of veterans; Tejanas on the homefront; journalism and youth activism; and other underreported aspects of the wartime experience, the essays collected in this volume showcase rarely seen recollections. Whether living in Florida in a transformed community or deployed far from home (including Mexican Americans who were forced to endure the Bataan Death March), the men and women depicted in this collection yield a multidisciplinary, metacritical inquiry. The result is a study that challenges celebratory accounts and deepens the level of scholarly inquiry into the realm of ideological mobility for a unique cultural crossroads. Taking this complex history beyond the realm of war narratives, Latina/os and World War II situates these chapters within the broader themes of identity and social change that continue to reverberate in postcolonial lives.

Описание: For Manuel Rivas, words are the most sensitive of creatures. In the same way that frogs or glow-worms are the first to manifest signs of pollution, words suffer as a result of corruption in the socio-political sphere. In his work he is a custodian of all sensitive creatures; his writings document damage and alert us to potential future harm.

Описание: La gavilla de articulos reunidos en este volumen forma un conjunto coherente de ensayos en torno a un tema comun, la vida en la Andalucia rural en sus multiples aspectos culturales, contada por viajeros extranjeros a lo largo de los dos siglos pasados. Con mayor o menor enfasis recalan en temas como la variedad y belleza del paisaje, en las costumbres culinarias, en las posadas y tabernas, en las diversiones, en fin, y las costumbres populares y folcloricas. Al tiempo, inciden en curiosas y sabrosas anecdotas que viven en persona de primera mano. Ello hace de esta singular antologia una lectura jugosa y entretenida tanto para estudiantes como academicos interesados por los lazos entre culturas. En ella se brindan frecuentes encrucijadas de caminos y encuentros multiculturales sobre los que los curiosos viajeros escriben, asombrados unas veces y perplejos otras, al enfrentar costumbres y tradiciones tan alejadas de su propio acervo cultural. Esos rasgos distintivos, que tan acusados se perfilan en el agro andaluz, con el tiempo se han ido nivelando merced a la modernizacion de los medios de transporte y la transformacion del espacio rural de antano. Los viajeros aqui destacados, en su mayoria mujeres y hombres britanicos y franceses, fueron sin duda testigos fieles y excepcionales del transcurrir de la vida cotidiana en esta peculiar y atractiva region de Espana. Los autores aqui reunidos han escrito todos ellos tesis, libros o articulos que iluminan de forma amena distintas facetas del poliedrico tema.

This volume includes eleven papers pertaining to different areas of linguistics and organised into three sections. Part I contains diachronic studies which cover data from Middle English to Present-Day English and which explore phenomena such as the status of extender tags, the distribution of free adjuncts, post-auxiliary ellipsis, and the use of ‘ephemeral’ concessive adverbial subordinators. Part II comprises studies on grammar and language processing dealing with topics such as the interaction between syntactic and structural complexity and verbal agreement with collective subjects, the influence of distributivity and concreteness on verbal agreement, the interaction of complexity and efficiency in pronoun omission in Indian English and Singapore English, and the methods and approaches used for grammar teaching in modern EFL/ESL textbooks. Finally, Part III revolves around lexis, discourse and pragmatics, with papers that discuss the development of the discoursal representation of social actors in Argentinian newspapers after the military dictatorship, the construction of women’s gender identity through positive and negative emotions in women’s magazines, and spelling-to-sound correspondence on Twitter.
