Book excerpt: Mientras Dante caminaba en medio de aquellos pasillos rodeado de toda clase de libros; su mente se concentr tanto en esas incgnitas que realmente andaba buscando y que no lograba encontrar. Estaba tan concentrado que por un momento dej de sentir el lugar y sinti que su mente se alejaba de su cuerpo. Se encontr una vez ms en el mundo de los sueos; esos sueos que lo perseguan con ms frecuencia ltimamente. Sinti el aire clido y fuerte que le robaba su gorra y al querer cubrirse su cabeza con sus manos corpulentas su pelo se le incrustaba en ellas. Senta un olor que no descifraba y un ruido que le llegaba hasta la mdula de sus huesos. Era un ruido seco que lo torturaba. Perciba algo ms, algo que no haba sentido o visto antes. Algo que le pareca De pronto sinti un suave movimiento y una voz que haba odo antes. Era la voz de Maribella que lo estaba sacando de aquel sueo o trance. La copa se le haba cado y el contenido se haba desparramado sobre la delicada alfombra. Se sinti abochornado y dese desaparecer de inmediato; pero, la suave voz de Maribella lo tranquiliz. Lo tom de la mano y lo dirigi al sof ms prximo. Dante se dej conducir sin oponer resistencia. Todava parte de su mente deambulaba. Transcurri un buen tiempo para que se recuperara por completo. Cuando lo hizo se disculp por el dao que haba causado. Aunque Maribella le mencion que el dao era lo de menos, que lo ms importante era que se sintiera bien; Dante segua disculpndose. Para que no siguiera sintindose culpable, Maribella fue a la cocina y volvi con unos lquidos especiales para sacar manchas en alfombras. Dante se tom el tiempo de hacerlo y terminada la labor, pareci recuperar no slo su estado de nimo si no tambin su energa. Maribella observando tal cambio lo confront directamente y sin evasivas. Le pregunt que ella necesitaba saber exactamente que le haba pasado. Dante comprendiendo que si Maribella estaba de su parte no tena porque ocultarle lo que le haba pasado. Total, haba venido para eso. Poniendo cada detalle en su respectivo lugar, le explic que los sueos a que l se refera y lo que le acababa de suceder eran exactamente iguales. La nica diferencia, aclar, es que era la primera vez que le pasaba despierto. Le explic detalle por detalle de todo lo que se acordaba. Al final del relato le mencion que haba un evento que no se acordaba. Le prometi que tan pronto viniera a su mente lo escribira y se lo iba a comunicar. Maribella, despus de escuchar la narracin y haber estudiado detenidamente la lmina y ledo el pie de gravado, aquella narracin conectaba en cierto punto. Maribella le dijo, Dante vuelve a revisar ahora esta pgina detenidamente y extrae cualquier similaritud que tu mente registre. Dante hizo lo que Maribella le peda y despus de esforzar la mente hasta el lmite exclam, Maribella! Maribella! Hay algo en comn en esta pgina y mis sueos. Mira la posicin y color de las hojas, qu t observas en ellas? Cambiando de posicin y agarrando el libro, Maribella las observ detenidamente y despus de unos momentos le dijo, lo nico que puedo observar es, que da la impresin, que el pintor de esta lmina pint las hojas en una forma que representaran que un violento viento las estaba moviendo. A lo que se refiere al color se dira que es otoo o estn pasando por un tiempo de sequa. Efectivamente, le contest Dante hace unos momentos en mi sueo, si se le puede llamar as, sent un viento fuerte. Tan fuerte que me quit la gorra de mi cabeza. Adems, sent que ese viento estaba acompaado de un calor sofocante. Pareca que estaba en un lugar en el que no haba llovido por mucho tiempo; o quizs, me atrevera a decir, cerca de un lugar desrtico. Haba algo extra, algo que por primera vez se me presentaba en mis sueos. Estaba a punto de visualizar lo que era cuando cuando volv en s. Dante no quera que Maribella se sintiera mal. En verdad, l le agradec

Download or read book Wine Globalization written by Kym Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this anthology, editors Kym Anderson and Vicente Pinilla have gathered together some of the world's leading wine economists and economic historians to examine the development of national wine industries before and during the two waves of globalization. The empirically-based chapters analyze developments in all key wine-producing and consuming countries using a common methodology to explain long-term trends and cycles in wine production, consumption, and trade. The authors cover topics such as the role of new technologies, policies, and institutions, as well as exchange rate movements, international market developments, evolutions in grape varieties, and wine quality changes. The final chapter draws on an economic model of global wine markets, to project those markets to 2025 based on various assumptions about population and income growth, real exchange rates, and other factors. All authors of the book contributed to a unique global database of annual data back to the mid-nineteenth century which has been compiled by the book editors.

Download or read book On Becoming Cuban written by Louis A. Pérez Jr. and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this masterful work, Louis A. Perez Jr. transforms the way we view Cuba and its relationship with the United States. On Becoming Cuban is a sweeping cultural history of the sustained encounter between the peoples of the two countries and of the ways that this encounter helped shape Cubans' identity, nationality, and sense of modernity from the early 1850s until the revolution of 1959. Using an enormous range of Cuban and U.S. sources--from archival records and oral interviews to popular magazines, novels, and motion pictures--Perez reveals a powerful web of everyday, bilateral connections between the United States and Cuba and shows how U.S. cultural forms had a critical influence on the development of Cubans' sense of themselves as a people and as a nation. He also articulates the cultural context for the revolution that erupted in Cuba in 1959. In the middle of the twentieth century, Perez argues, when economic hard times and political crises combined to make Cubans painfully aware that their American-influenced expectations of prosperity and modernity would not be realized, the stage was set for revolution.
Download or read book Crises and Transformation in the Mediterranean World written by Jordi Catalan Vidal and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection presents an economic history of Catalonia and its economic crises, from Roman times to the political difficulties of the present day. It considers how the strong identity of the Catalan people has been reinforced in critical episodes such as the commercial revolution of the Late Medieval Age, the 1640 rebellion, the Succession War of 1705-1714, the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the strong repression during early Francoism. The book also explores how historical parallels from Catalonia’s past might shed light on the long-term consequences of the Great Recession of 2007-9 and recovery in the EU, showing how the typical Mediterranean approach of adjusting to crises by depreciating currencies and expanding public deficits has been less straightforward during the most recent financial crisis. A particularly deep slump has contributed to fostering the claim for independence of Catalonia in recent times, echoing larger dissatisfaction with EU monetary policy. With a comprehensive overview of major events in Catalonian economic history and their broader implications to European political economy and development, this book will be of interest to students and academics in economic history, social history, and monetary economics.
Download or read book Why Democracy Failed written by James Simpson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this distinctive new history of the origins of the Spanish Civil War, James Simpson and Juan Carmona tackle the highly-debated issue of why it was that Spain's democratic Second Republic failed. They explore the interconnections between economic growth, state capacity, rural social mobility and the creation of mass competitive political parties, and how these limited the effectiveness of the new republican governments, and especially their attempts to tackle economic and social problems within the agricultural sector. They show how political change during the Republic had a major economic impact on the different groups in village society, leading to social conflicts that turned to polarization and finally, with the civil war, to violence and brutality. The democratic Republic failed not so much because of the opposition from the landed elites, but rather because small farmers had been unable to exploit more effectively their newly found political voice.

Download or read book Histories of Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean written by Ana Isabel Queiroz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioinvasions is a current top research subject for natural sciences, social sciences and humanities and a major concern for conservationists, land managers and planners. In the last decades, new findings, perspectives and practices have revealed the multifaceted challenges of preventing new introductions and dealing with those invasive species that harm natural ecosystems, economy and human welfare. This book brings together environmental historians and natural scientists to share their studies and experiences on the human dimensions of biological invasions from the ancient past to the current challenges. The collection of papers focuses on the Mediterranean region and deals with aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems on the mainland and islands, ranging from marine and freshwater environments to coastal marshlands and forests. A wide diversity of animals and plants are featured, from marine fishes to marine and freshwater crustaceans, invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals, to grasses, shrubs and trees. This book is a contribution to the scientific debate on how to deal with the historical dimensions of biological invasions, fostering dialogue between cultural and ecological explanations of environmental change, to inform environmental policy and management. It has been organized in three sections: the first is the editors’ introduction, in which they review the existing literature and highlight relevant concepts and ideas; the second is about alien species in the Mediterranean region; the third includes cases from other Mediterranean-type regions.
Download or read book From Maps to Metaphors written by Robin Fisher and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summers of 1792-94, George Vancouver and the crew of the British naval ships Discovery and Chatham mapped the northwest coast of North America from Baja California to Alaska. Taking the art and technique of distant voyaging to a new level, Vancouver eliminated the possibility of a northwest passage and his remarkably precise surveys completed the outline of the Pacific. But to map an area is to appropriate it � to begin to bring it under control � and Vancouver's charts of the northwest coast were part of a process of economic exploitation and cultural disruption. The chapters in this illuminating book are written from a variety of perspectives and provide new insights on many aspects of Vancouver's voyages, from the technology employed to the complex political and power relationships among European explorers and the Native leadership.
