        "I don't consider myself fundamentally as a professional. I'm basically an adventurer." (Orson Welles) My company is me, my friends, who give their opinion about my work, the authors who discuss about which cover to use for their work, and my dear ghost writers who have always accompanied me. Together with this group of people, I have achieved a catalog of titles of constant sale, that do not age, ranging from local and Latin American literature to personal improvement books; these are "longsellers" I never stop reprinting them. I like books and I venture into it.

        Journey to the Land of Men

        by Mónica-Ramón Ríos

        Journey to the Land of Men follows Gege, a skilled orphan raised by a sword master near Puna in Los Andes. In a post-apocalyptic future, the Southern Globe (formerly South America) is governed by women who nurture the Earth with mestizo knowledge. Invading armies of men threaten their peaceful existence due to outdated extractive economies. Gege becomes crucial in the conflict, joining a group of young warriors to uncover the enemy's leaders. With Ena, the future leader of the Southern Globe and Gege's love interest, they embark on a dangerous mission dragged as men. Tragedy strikes when Gege's teacher is killed, fueling suspicions of a traitor. As they journey through Central America towards the Caribbean, they liberate cities and face perilous landscapes. As they reach Florida and then New York with the help of an underground organization, Gege discovers Ena's identity as a trans woman, who has travel to undergo sex change. In love, Gege supports Ena, but soon learns Ena's family is responsible for her teacher's death. Driven and confused, Gege ventures alone to the enemy's stronghold, enduring torture and uncovering shocking truths about her own identity: her mother, the leader who liberated the Southern Globe came from across the Atlantic and was betrayed by Ena’s mother, the current leader. Gege escapes with unexpected help from Ena and her surviving teacher, unleashing her latent powers to eliminate the enemy. She sets sail across the Atlantic to explore her ancestral roots, entrusting Ena with leading the Southern Globe.

        UN WESTERN EN LA PAMPA SALITRERA

        by RIQUELME, LEAL, RIVERA

        Tras el término de la Guerra Civil de 1891, el desierto del Norte Grande chileno se ha convertido en tierra fértil para la llegada de aventureros, contrabandistas y bandoleros, todo en busca de un solo objetivo: obtener la riqueza que yace bajo el suelo atacameño. Allí, en medio de la pampa, las historias del Flaco, la Rubia y el Indio se entrecruzan, mientras la oficina salitrera Santa Fe se alza como el escenario perfecto para una trama marcada por la cuestión social, los engaños, la rapidez del gatillo y la sed de venganza

        La vuelta al perro

        by Cynthia Rimsky

        In a small town in Buenos Aires province, surrounded by soy fields, weekend homes that multiply like books, and weeds with healing powers that could feed the whole world, the writer goes out to walk her dog, fed up with how everything around her has productive meaning. Is it possible to write against meaning?  She walks around and finds the men meeting behind a house beneath the biggest false pepper tree in town, telling stories among the scattered junk as if they were in the Pampas version of a literary salon. She watches the hares, takes her motorcycle to buy eggs, chats with her neighbor, and comes up with questions that may bring her closer to glimpsing the sacred.

        Dempsey and the Wild Bull

        The Four Minute Fight of the Century

        by John Jarrett

        They still call it the most sensational fight ever for the world heavyweight championship, between champion Jack Dempsey and his hammer-fisted Argentine challenger, Luis Angel Firpo. Back in the Roaring Twenties, 85,000 packed into New York's Polo Grounds to see all three minutes fifty-seven seconds of it. Nobody asked for their money back. In the first round Firpo was floored seven times, but got up to deck the champion, then knocked him clean into the press section. Pushed back into the ring as the count reached nine, the champion survived the round, thinking he had been knocked out. In round two, Dempsey knocked Firpo out in fifty-seven seconds. The four-minute Fight of the Century was over! 'The Wild Bull of the Pampas' became Argentina's most famous citizen, after the infamous Perons. Dempsey, half a million dollars richer, rested and rusted for three years before losing his title to Gene Tunney.

        Uruguay

        by Tim Burford

        They won the first soccer World Cup and there's a lot of beef raised on the pampa. That's all most people know about Uruguay. Bradt's Uruguay remains the only dedicated English-language guide to a country that's small yet bursting with character showing that the adventurous tourist can uncover much more. It provides in-depth coverage of the capital Montevideo, where the colonial Old City is being restored. There's also detailed information on the coastal city of Colonia (which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List) as well as Punta del Este, where the Buenos Aires beautiful crowd flocks to the beaches each summer. There's advice, too, for active travellers who can rattle their whips on cattle-ranching estancias and spin their sticks in a game of polo or two and for nature enthusiasts keen to watch wildlife in the western wetlands and birds in Cabo Polonio and Santa Teresa. Plus, the book investigates the Brazilian influences behind Uruguay's music and dance, and the country's Afro-Uruguayan culture, most noticeable in Carnaval.

        Los mejores días

        by Magalí Etchebarne

        Certain events unfold, exquisitely and poetically, until we reach an illuminating passage: the precise moment of learning something important. With rare maturity for someone in her thirties, in the manner of Clarice Lispector, Lorrie Moore, or Grace Paley, these stories are a space for inquiry. Undoubtedly, this first book by Magalí Etchebarne is the best possible beginning to a work. It is also the book we all wish we could write someday. I Acevedo

      • Manual of Grasses for North America

        by Editors: Mary E. Barkworth, Laurel K. Anderton Kathleen M. Capels, Sandy Long, Michael B. Piep

        Grasses are the world's most important plants. They are the dominant species over large parts of the earth's land surface, a fact that is reflected in the many different words that exist for grasslands, words such as prairie, veldt, palouse, and pampas to mention just a few. As a group, grasses are of major ecological importance, as soil binders and providers of shelter and food for wild animals, both large and small. Some grasses, such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, tef, and sugar cane are major sources of calories for humans and their livestock; others, primarily bamboos, are used for construction, tools, paper, and fabric. More recently, the seed catalogs that tantalize gardeners each winter have borne witness to an increasing appreciation of the aesthetic value of grasses. Designed as a successor to the classic volume by Hitchcock and Chase, the Manual of Grasses for North America reflects current taxonomic thought and includes keys, illustrations, and distribution maps for the nearly 900 native and 400 introduced species that have been found in North America north of Mexico. In addition, it presents keys and illustrations for several species that are known only in cultivation or are of major agricultural significance, either as progenitors of bread wheat and corn or as a major threat to North American agriculture because of their ability to hybridize with crop species. Prepared by the editors of volumes 24 and 25 of Flora North America, the Manual is a major reference work for grasses that will retain its value for many years. Yet, in only 640 pages in sturdy paperback binding, it is useable and affordable for the field and classroom

        Ancestral Knowledge in Agri-Allied Science

        by Ratan Kumar Saha

        Indigenous knowledge is the knowledge of the indigenous people inhabiting different geographical regions of the world with their own language, culture, tradition, belief, folklore, rites and rituals. Indigenous knowledge so developed is based on necessities, instinct, curiosity and observations of ethnic groups to mitigate the immediate situations. Eventually, this local knowledge in course of time gets socially accepted and validated which finally inters into the social life and subsequently become the Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) of the society as a whole. As such, scientist in this knowledge base economy who are in research of new ideas and innovations expect that indigenous knowledge may hold significant message which may be of use to remedy the deficiencies in modern agricultural and environment related issues. There is a need for studying and documenting traditional knowledge in different ecological and cultural environments. Several researchers are working on ITK in different fields of agriculture and allied sectors. There is a demand for a standard book on the overview of ITK. This book is designed in such a way that will give an overview of ITK, the differences between Science & ITK, different tools and techniques used in ITK, classification, importance & utilization of ITK, and recent ongoing researches on ITK in different parts of India. The objective of this book is to encourage the study of ethnic knowledge in different field of agriculture and allied sector. It is also an attempt to circulate amongst a larger group of readers regarding the importance of indigenous knowledge in scientific world. This book will, perhaps, be well received in all the Agricultural Universities, Animal Husbandry & Fisheries University, State Govt. Agri-allied Departments, Private and Public Sector Institutions where training, teaching, research and extension of agri-allied sector is undertaken.

        Los Fantasmas del Viento

        by Oscar Barrientos/Cristian Escobar/Mirko Vukasovic

        Magallanes, – escriben sus autores-  la última región de Chile en ser colonizada, posee una historia que ni bien termina de ser narrada, es necesario escribirla nuevamente; una serpiente con plumas de pingüino, con pezuñas de guanaco, que se muerde la cola y habla en español, croata, con un acento sureño “cantadito” al son de una estufa con agua para el café, mientras afuera nieva, llueve y sale el sol simultáneamente. “Los Fantasmas del Viento” es una publicación que busca actualizar y enfrentar tanto a magallánicos como a chilenos no sólo con la historia de la Región, si no también con la cultura y naturaleza increíble, fantasiosa, descabellada y últimamente, muy real

        UMA AND THE WATER OF THE SEA

        Story based in an ancient Aymara ritual

        by Colomba Elton

        Uma is an Aymara girl who lives in the high Andean zone and dreams of seeing the sea. This becomes a reality thanks to the imperative need of her community: to obtain sea water for a ritual that allows the rains to return to her village. This story allows us to understand how some people from South America, whose ancestors occupied the territory long before the current borders were established, live. It shows how some communities have a close relationship with their geography and the cycles of nature, and thank through offerings to the Pachamama or Mother Earth. This helps us to remember that we all depend on nature, but we have moved away from it. The story also speaks to us of austerity, of a simple life, in the midst of an era of extreme consumerism; a simple life, but, precisely because of this, valuable and full of meaning.
