        Enjambre (Swarm)

        by Joaquín Areta

        The stories of Enjambre (Swarm), Joaquín Areta's first novel, take place in a torrid, dry Neuquén, province of Argentina. Carlos, a retired engineer, takes care of his old mother; a boy from the suburbs, Bairon, waits alone, by the road, for cyclists to pass; Iñigo, a young agricultural engineer marked by his relationship with his father, must solve an invasion of aggressive bees. These stories are composed by matters that, only in appearance, are trivialities: a line of ants that persists in accompanying Carlos' elderly mother; a rectangle of black dirt at the bottom of his garden; Bairon's secret collection of stones and arrowheads; the monument in his neighborhood that commemorates the clash between the conquerors and the original inhabitants; the threatening presence of the police; the small "treasures" left behind by someone gone, which bring us echoes of the military dictatorship; the spines of the alpataco trees in the memory of Iñigo; a glass of juice filled with ice-cubes; the nauseating smell of an ambulance ... A swarm of images that orbits around bonding: between characters, between past and present, between territory and inhabitants. These stories together give shape to a particular Universe, in which the silence, the things that are not said and those which are simply implied, make the atmosphere  more and more intriguing and unsettling until we’re also reached by its sting. Joaquín Areta’s writing enables a new way of showing and saying that will imply, as well, a different way of reading and perceiving. This novel becomes intense and moving, taking on the brightness of what we cannot stop contemplating.

        Iker Muniain

        Un balón, un escudo, una vida

        by Patxi Xabier Fernández

        Passionate, rebellious, non-conformist, rascal, fighter, referent. Faithful to some colors. There are many ways to define Iker Muniain, but only one to know the person who hides behind the footballer. “That boy with curly hair glued to a ball”, as Joaquín Caparrós recalls, the coach who made him debut at the age of 15, has already spent more than a decade making history with the Athletic Club shirt. This book tells how fame came to him as a teenager, how he fought off two serious knee injuries, how he became captain of his dream team, and how he snuck into a final dressed incognito. A journey through a unique life, in which pain and defeat are mixed with success and happiness. Very few know what elite football is like inside; In this authorized biography, Iker dares to tell it.

        Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems

        by Committee on Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems, National Research Council

        When waterfowl began to die from selenium poisoning at Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge in California's San Joaquin Valley, considerable alarm arose among environmental and agricultural specialists. This new volume suggests that Kesterson is not a unique problem and the events there offer important lessons for the future. Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems uses the San Joaquin experience to suggest how we can prepare for similar problems elsewhere. As one committee member put it, "There will be elsewheres"--trace elements and organic contaminants are being concentrated by irrigation in many river basins. This book addresses how the Kesterson crisis developed, how irrigation can endanger water quality, and how economic, legal, and other factors impede our ability to respond to water quality problems. The committee explores how to study these problems, unraveling complex issues and clarifying the varying perspectives of farmers, environmentalists, scientists, and other key figures. This dispassionate analysis of a controversial topic will be useful to policymakers, resource managers, and agricultural specialists and farmers, as well as specialists in hydrology, water quality, irrigation, law, and environmental quality. It will also be useful as a case study in the environmental policy classroom.

        Tracking the Texas Rangers

        The Twentieth Century

        by Edited by Bruce A. Glasrud and Harold J. Weiss, Jr.

        Tracking the Texas Rangers: The Twentieth Century is an anthology of fifteen previously published articles and chapter excerpts covering key topics of the Texas Rangers during the twentieth century. The task of determining the role of the Rangers as the state evolved and what they actually accomplished for the benefit of the state is a difficult challenge. The actions of the Rangers fit no easy description. There is a dark side to the story of the Rangers; during the Mexican Revolution, for example, some murdered with impunity. Others sought to restore order in the border communities as well as in the remainder of Texas. It is not lack of interest that complicates the unveiling of the mythical force. With the possible exception of the Alamo, probably more has been written about the Texas Rangers than any other aspect of Texas history. Tracking the Texas Rangers covers leaders such as Captains Bill McDonald, “Lone Wolf” Gonzaullas, and Barry Caver, accomplished Rangers like Joaquin Jackson and Arthur Hill, and the use of Rangers in the Mexican Revolution. Chapters discuss their role in the oil fields, in riots, and in capturing outlaws. Most important, the Rangers of the twentieth century experienced changes in investigative techniques, strategy, and intelligence gathering. Tracking looks at the use of Rangers in labor disputes, in race issues, and in the Tejano civil rights movement. The selections cover critical aspects of those experiences—organization, leadership, cultural implications, rural and urban life, and violence. In their introduction, editors Bruce A. Glasrud and Harold J. Weiss, Jr., discuss various themes and controversies surrounding the twentieth-century Rangers and their treatment by historians over the years. They also have added annotations to the essays to explain where new research has shed additional light on an event to update or correct the original article text.
