Each of the fifteen chapters begins with a brief selection in Spanish from a recent Spanish-language publication. Following the reading selection a questionnaire based on the content of the reading material channels the student into using vocabulary employed in the reading. Three topics are then given, suggested by the content of the reading and designed to provoke conversation in class or to serve as themes for compositions. The second part of each chapter is a study of language difficulties often encountered by American students at the junior or senior level of Spanish language study. Each of these sections is based on a word or phrase appearing in the reading. The third section of each chapter is a grammar lesson which presents one of the principal topics of Spanish syntax, stressing those points of the topic which continue to be problematical to advanced students. Each grammar section consists of a clearly worded explanation of the basic theory underlying the topic under discussion, which is further clarified by a large number of example sentences.

Book excerpt: En diversos documentales que han circulado por los medios informativos e inclusive en la Internet, el 2012 aparece el año del Juicio Final o el "Hunab-Ku", según las profecías de los mayas, mencionado que la raza humana y nuestro planeta sufrirán una catástrofe de proporciones inimaginables. Estos hechos se ven vinculados a un fenómeno cósmico que ocurre cada 25, 800 años y que tendrá lugar en el solsticio de invierno del 2012, cuando la Tierra se encuentre alineada con el Sol y el centro de nuestra galaxia, la vía Láctea, donde existe un agujero negro ocasionando alteraciones en el manto terrestre y por consiguiente, en la superficie de nuestro planeta. A raíz de estos augurios que vaticinan un peligro inminente a la Tierra y a sus pobladores, los protagonistas de esta increíble aventura, se hacen a la tarea de iniciar una investigación científica que les proporcionara una información más exacta de la realidad, del peligro que estaba a punto de desatarse, y esto era a la vuelta de la esquina ya que, de ocurrir esta catástrofe, ocurriría en tan solo dos años. El resultado de dicha investigación hace que uno de ellos exponga una hipótesis aterradora y descabellada, la "supe-marea del manto terrestre" ejercida por las fuerzas gravitacionales del Sol y el agujero negro. Con la ayuda de dos geofísicos estadounidenses emprenden una odisea que inicia con la búsqueda de un lugar seguro y la creación de un refugio que pueda contener los embates apocalípticos de dicho efecto gravitacional cósmico. Sin embargo, los eventos dan inicio mucho antes de lo esperado por lo que se ven obligados a adelantar sus planes de huída y de sobrevivencia, viéndose envueltos en una serie de controversias ante las decisiones que tienen que tomar con respecto a cuántos y quiénes debían acudir a San Pedro y lo que tenían que llevar consigo. "Todo lo que inicia tiene un fin". Desde que el ser humano existe, y de acuerdo con la historia que nos habla de Oráculos y profetas, siempre ha esperado con temor el día en que llegue éste final. ¿Ficción o una realidad? ¿El año 2012 pondrá fin a la existencia del ser humano sobre la faz de la Tierra? ¿Podrá soportar nuestro planeta, y nosotros mismo, seremos capaces de sobrevivir a esta devastadora ecuación cósmica?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive English-language collection of work ever by "the greatest poet of the twentieth century--in any language" (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) "In his work a continent awakens to consciousness." So wrote the Swedish Academy in awarding the Nobel Prize to Pablo Neruda, the author of more than thirty-five books of poetry and one of Latin America's most revered writers, lionized during his lifetime as "the people's poet." This selection of Neruda's poetry, the most comprehensive single volume available in English, presents nearly six hundred poems, scores of them in new and sometimes multiple translations, and many accompanied by the Spanish original. In his introduction, Ilan Stavans situates Neruda in his native milieu as well as in a contemporary English-language one, and a group of new translations by leading poets testifies to Neruda's enduring, vibrant legacy among English-speaking writers and readers today.

Download or read book Post Petrarchism written by Roland Greene and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-Petrarchism offers a theoretical study of lyric poetry through one of its most long-lived and widely practiced models: the lyric sequence, originated by Francis Petrarch in his Canzoniere of the late fourteenth century. A framework in which poems are suspended according to some organizing or unifying principle, the lyric sequence emerges from European humanist culture as a poetic discourse that represents personal experience and operates as a kind of fiction. Here Roland Greene proposes that since Petrarch the lyric sequence has survived in European and American literatures--from Shakespeare's Sonnets to The Waste Land to Trilce--as a complex in which formal, generic, and cultural designs intersect, and as an embodiment of lyric discourse at its most extensive, inclusive, and ambitious. Enabled by a theoretical introduction to the genre at large, the book treats the founding and elaboration of the vernacular sequence in six major texts by Petrarch, Philip Sidney, Edward Taylor, Walt Whitman, W. B. Yeats, Pablo Neruda, and Martin Adan. Throughout Greene shows how Petrarchism has evolved as lyric discourse through its exposure to such events as the Reformation and Puritanism, the settlement of the New World, and the various modernisms of Europe and the Americas.

Download or read book The Geographies of Social Movements written by Ulrich Oslender and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Geographies of Social Movements Ulrich Oslender proposes a critical place perspective to examine the activism of black communities in the lowland rain forest of Colombia's Pacific Coast region. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in and around the town of Guapi, Oslender examines how the work of local community councils, which have organized around newly granted ethnic and land rights since the early 1990s, is anchored to space and place. Exploring how residents' social relationships are entangled with the region's rivers, streams, swamps, rain, and tides, Oslender argues that this "aquatic space"—his conceptualization of the mutually constitutive relationships between people and their rain forest environment—provides a local epistemology that has shaped the political process. Oslender demonstrates that social mobilization among Colombia's Pacific Coast black communities is best understood as emerging out of their place-based identity and environmental imaginaries. He argues that the critical place perspective proposed accounts more fully for the multiple, multiscalar, rooted, and networked experiences within social movements.
