Описание: This volume proposes new ways of understanding the historical semantics of the relationship between humans and nature in South America in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The authors in this volume use the notion of asymmetry to discuss the representations of and forms of knowledge about nature circulating in, and about, colonial and postcolonial South America. They argue that the production of knowledge about the American natural space widened the power gap between the Europeans colonizers and the local population. This gap, therefore, rests on what we call 'asymmetric ecologies': Eurocentric epistemic orders excluded forms of indigenous, mestizo, and Creole knowledge about nature. By looking at literary as well as non-literary sources, such as natural histories, travel narratives, encyclopaedias or medical writing, the essays in this volume trace the origins of new theoretical paradigms (ecocriticism, biopolitics, transarea studies, etc.), and examine the regional cultural, identity, and epistemic conflicts that undercut the Eurocentric narrative of enlightened modernity.

Bondkeepers and Bloodhunters have been fighting since the beginning of time.
The firsts, the protector of an ancient and powerful bond with the animals, which in exchange have given them special abilities.
The seconds, always been jealous of these powers, are strong believers that animals are inferior beings, meat to hunt and eat, nothing more.
This never-ending war comes to a halt when the Bloodhunters find a way to break these specials bonds using black magic. Without their animals, called Totums, the Bondkeepers also lose their super powers. All seems lost. The Bloodhunters have won. Or at least that was what everyone believed until, two generations after, the bonds are starting to form again ...
Ryan and Sarah belong to the first generation who is regaining the bonds but they know nothing about this. All they know is that they have to reach Animalia, a training camp for Bondkeepers where they can find which one is their Totum and develop their powers.
Unfortunately, the Bloodhunters won't let this happen and they will do anything to stop them.

This book depicts the life and struggle of maintenance in seeking better ways and means to improve the reliability of the equipment and assets. The author shares his experience on how to achieve such feat. Transitioning from a reactive to a proactive maintenance stage is not an easy tasks but it is not also an impossible tasks. What the author believes is that the key to everything is educating the maintenance people on what maintenance is all about. Training is where we acquire knowledge to develop the skills required to do our job right. This book contains real life stories, struggles and actual experiences by the author in his career in maintenance and currently as a Reliability and Maintenance Consultant. Every industry must change their paradigm and realize that maintenance are not repair people. The meaning of the word maintain is simply to preserve our equipment and assets. And we can only preserve our assets if maintenance are equipped with the right knowledge on how to perform their jobs right the first time around. I have written this book in order to reach out to industries in search of discovering ways to improve not only their equipment and assets but as well as their maintenance human resources. Remember that maintenance is not a department, it is not a function or any organization but rather maintenance are humble and down to earth human being, hence let us provide them with the respect that they truly deserve because that is all they ask for.

Описание: TENACITY is the story about the life experiences of the author, Jos Rolando Villarreal, J.D. It is an American immigration story that reflects the life stories of many immigrants who came, and continue to come from all parts of the world, to the United States of America seeking to realize the American Dream.What do present-day immigrants confront when they reach the USA and commence to navigate their journey in seeking the American dream as they define it? How can present-day immigrants to the USA confront a complex cultural system that causes bewilderment, confusion, and perplexity that on occasion hinders and impedes progress towards success? Jos Rolando Villarreal answers these challenging questions by presenting his own immigration story.American immigration life stories are basically about individuals who came or were brought to the United States out of economic necessity, hunger for better opportunities, or even worse, seeking asylum due to oppression in their country. The author's story is no different. While his life story reflects an unpleasantly rough, and at times severely cruel reality that most immigrants have confronted for centuries, it is also a story of resilience. It is a story about immigration, migration, navigation, and adaptation to change in order to realize the American dream. The author was terco (determined) and he had the tenacity to confront and overcome the myriad harsh realities and barriers faced by immigrants in order to navigate successfully toward the American dream. He feels content that he realized the American dream, as he defines it, while striving to be successful as a son, husband, father, grandfather, attorney, administrator, adjunct college professor, city mayor, staff training consultant, and best of all, as an American citizen.The author gives specific historical references to his experiences facing adversity in the areas of institutional racism in education, the criminal justice system, economics, and politics. The author gives special attention to the area of leadership development tools, such as conflict resolution and synergy, which can be used to enhance one's capacity to navigate the aforementioned adversarial situations.Being an American immigrant is a state of mind, a tangle of conundrums and contradictions, but with the end goal of becoming an American in the most transparent and purest sense. From the various identity labels of a documented immigrant, Mexican, Mexican-American, Chicano, Latino, or Hispanic, the author emerges as a quintessential American, proud of his Mexican heritage. His primary intent in writing this book is to inspire immigrants, documented and undocumented, and by extension to anyone who is related to immigrants or works with immigrants. The secondary purpose of this book is to leave a valuable legacy to his family, children, grandchildren. Through the use of memoirs of leadership and cultural competence, the author shows others how to successfully navigate the journey in the USA as immigrants.This book culminates in the author's presentation of highly effective leadership tools which can be utilized by the reader in the pursuit of the American dream, however that dream is defined.
