This study examines Latino national political coalitions in the United States with a focus on Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. It argues that Latino national political coalitions are an avenue of political empowerment for the Latino Community, but face social, economic, and political challenges in the Latino community.

Recent debates about the Anthropocene have prompted a re-negotiation of the relationship between human subjectivity and nonhuman matter within a wide range of disciplines. This collection builds on the assumption that our understanding of the nonhuman world is bound up with the experience of space: thinking about and with nonhuman spaces destabilizes human-scale assumptions. Literary form affords this kind of nonanthropocentric experience; one role of the critic in the Anthropocene is to foreground the function of space and description in challenging the conventional link between narrative and human (inter)subjectivity. Bringing together New Formalism, ecocriticism, and narrative theory, the included essays demonstrate that literature can transgress the strong and long-established boundary of the human frame that literary and narrative scholarship clings to. The focus is firmly on the contemporary but with strategic samplings in earlier cultural texts (the American transcendentalists, modernist fiction) that anticipate present-day anxieties about the nonhuman, while at the same time offering important conceptual tools for working through them.

Readers encounter the environment through literature in ways not available to everyday perception. This is especially clear when a text integrates the grand vistas of what is known as the bird's-eye view. In this welcome contribution to the contemporary theoretical discussion about storied environments and non-human perceptions, David Rodriguez presents an original interpretation of the aesthetics of the view from above. Focusing on fiction by twentieth-century American writers including Willa Cather, Paul Bowles and Don DeLillo, Rodriguez skilfully combines ecocriticism, narrative theory and phenomenological approaches to literature to develop the term 'form of environment'. This theory of literary fiction foregrounds the environment not as setting or historical context, but as an equal agent with the human figures and scales that are normally the focus of literary analysis.

Starting with the sinister rumblings of World War II in 1939 up to the jubilant celebration of its end in 1945 and the bitter aftermath, this sweeping saga recounts the experiences of Pawel, a Polish Jew from Krakow. Pawel and his family are the early victims of the ravages of war. He narrowly escapes the concentration camps to become a member of the French Resistance, before being rescued by the British and enlisted in the Royal Air Force.As the war escalates, Pawel and his fellow pilots engage in dangerous rescue missions and air combat across North Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean, Australia, and Europe, in a series of historic encounters that culminate in the Battle of Berlin. Against the background of death and destruction, Pawel fathers two children. His former Austrian fianc, Ada Eissmann, has spurned their love to return to her Nazi heritage, and has disowned their relationship and his paternity of the child she carries. After finding love again with Janelle and fathering her child, he is separated from her when they have to flee to safety to escape the Nazi death squads. Finding his love and his two children becomes a personal mission for him, representing hope and the chance for happiness after years of conflict, danger, deprivation and loss.

Most people are familiar with the general theme of the Book of Job: a righteous man suffers, holds on to his faith, and is greatly rewarded in the end. But there is so much more to it than that. The questions posed in the Book of Job are some of the most profound questions anyone can ask. They explore the origin of Satan, the problem of evil in a world created by an all-powerful and loving God, the true motivation for service to God, the insidious power of legalism, the purpose of life, and so much more!Author David Rodriguez takes us on a journey through the Book of Job, in hopes that it leaves readers with a greater appreciation for God and His dealings with us.

Why are there so many different Christian denominations when we all have the same Bible? True, some Bibles include a few extra books, and some groups may use different versions of Scripture, but this hardly explains that tremendous diversity of doctrine and practice we see throughout Christendom. Most of these differences are not the result of different Bibles or different versions. Much of the disagreement is not over what the Bible says, it is over what the Bible means. Most Christians would agree that the words of Scripture are true and authoritative- but are divided over divining the meaning of those authoritative words. We must understand the difference between Scripture and theology. Scripture is what is written. Theology is the meaning of what is written. In "e;The Lord's Supper"e; we will examine the variety of traditions regarding Communion in light of the New Testament.

La Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Económicas tiene entre sus objetivos misionales el apoyo a la investigación, a la difusión del conocimiento, a los estudios de la realidad nacional y el estímulo a la formación de investigadores, académicos y profesionales en el campo de la economía, que aporten su conocimiento al desarrollo integral y sostenible de la economía colombiana. Al publicar las ponencias ganadoras del concurso de FENADECO —Jesús Antonio Bejarano—, las cuales han sido presentadas cada año en los respectivos congresos, la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Económicas reconoce el esfuerzo de los estudiantes y asume los resultados que han sido valorados como de alta calidad por parte de los jurados del Banco de la República. Confiamos en que este esfuerzo contribuya a cimentar el diálogo intergeneracional en los nuevos economistas, y que esta publicación sirva de soporte a la investigación económica en las diferentes universidades de la nación.

Esta publicación propone entender la luz como la materia primordial de la construcción del espacio, para lo cual es necesario sintetizar los conceptos, las técnicas y las herramientas utilizadas para este fin. El texto busca que tanto los estudiantes de arquitectura como los profesionales experimentados comprendan las consideraciones y los procedimientos involucrados en el diseño de sistemas de iluminación natural y artificial, a partir de una perspectiva centrada en el uso eficiente de la luz y los dispositivos arquitectónicos que permiten controlarla. El texto y las ilustraciones desarrolladas en esta investigación buscan construir en el estudiante de arquitectura la capacidad intuitiva para manipular la materia a partir de las propiedades de la luz y así afectar positivamente las cualidades del espacio. Para este fin, se plantean en cada capítulo diferentes ejemplos y ejercicios de aplicación que desarrollan una aproximación crítica al uso de las diferentes estrategias de iluminación, tanto natural como artificial. Este libro es la continuación de la investigación iniciada en Eficiencia lumínica en arquitectura. El mayor esfuerzo se concentra en la traducción e ilustración de varios conceptos complejos a un lenguaje sencillo, con una visión referida constantemente al proyecto de arquitectura. Además, profundiza sobre varios aspectos que en la primera investigación se manejaron a nivel introductorio y mantiene su enfoque didáctico gracias a la inclusión de casos prácticos, tablas de referencia y numerosos ejemplos extraídos de la arquitectura colombiana, con lo cual se hace un sencillo homenaje a los arquitectos que han demostrado el carácter material de la luz en su obra.
