        Olive Oil and Health

        by Edited by Jose L Quiles, Carmen Ramirez-Tortosa, Parveen Yaqoob

        Nutritional aspects of dietary fats, in general, and of olive oil in particular, are of great interest in many nutrition-related pathologies in which they are implicated. Olive oil plays an important role in the reduction of blood cholesterol levels, hence reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is a good source of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and vitamin E and there is also emerging evidence that olive oil has a role in reducing the incidence of certain types of cancer. This book discusses and summarizes current research and knowledge on olive oil.

Hurley, Fiona Impson, Cally Jansen, Nolweth

        The book provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge about "wattles", a large clade of over 1000 species of trees and shrubs in the genus Acacia, most of which are native to Australia. It examines the biology, ecology, evolution, and biogeography of wattles in their native ranges, including the evolutionary forces that have driven past speciation and adaptation to diverse environments, the conservation status, uses and human perceptions of these species. It considers the different histories of the introductions and proliferation of wattles as alien species in different parts of the world since c. 1850 (the Anthropocene), situated within relevant political, socio-economic and scientific contexts, together with an analysis of how awareness of their impacts as invasive species has changed over time. Differences in the dynamics and trends associated with the introduction, naturalization and invasion of wattles in different parts of the world are reviewed. The book also synthesizes the global distribution of wattles using diverse data sources, alongside trends, patterns and projections of global uses of wattles. It discusses the genetics, biotic interactions, and ecological, economic and social impacts of invasive wattles. The first comprehensive global synthesis in book form of aspects of the biology, ecology, biogeography and management of one of the world's most important woody plant genera. Provides the foundation for the assessment of evidence-based information required to formulate sustainable management strategies for non-native plants that have both benefits and negative impacts. Sheds new light on many aspects of plant invasion science. This book is aimed at academics and students in the field of ecology, and at managers of natural and anthropic ecosystems, policy-makers and regulators, and the general public interested in biology and environmental science.

        Tongolele did not know how to dance

        by Sergio Ramírez

        Sergio Ramiréz’s returns to the noir genre with a novel about Nicaragua and the end of the Revolution's dream. We are in the middle of the twenty-first century, in a Nicaragua in the mist of popular revolts, which are being brutally repressed by the government, backed by the sinister executive arm of the head of the secret services. Inspector Dolores Morales must confront from a distance that terri-ble being dubbed Tongolele, ultimately responsible for his exile in Honduras, and who, with coldness and cynicism and partly thanks to the divinatory advice of his mother, pulls many a string of the country's deranged politics.Sergio Ramírez’s skillful prose gradually reveals a murky network, full of secrets, betrayals and dark maneuvers that Inspector Morales will have to face, backed by the ineffable Lord Dixon, Doña Sofía Smith and the rest of his associates. For, in that never-ending convulsive Nicaragua, any misstep might result in the ultimate demise of anyone who dares confront in any manner of way, no matter how petty it might appear, the powers that be.

      • SECRETOS DEL CLANDESTINAJE (Secrets of the underground)

        Las vidas que alumbraron el levantamiento zapatista (The lives that illuminated the Zapatista uprising)

        by Federico Ramírez

        Faced with the repression of the popular student movement, which in October 1968 culminated in the Tlatelolco massacre, dozens of guerrilla groups emerged in Mexico. Conceived to confront an implacable enemy, these organizations had to develop and act clandestinely, behind the back of the law, without being able to fully achieve their objective of linking up with the people they were trying to lead towards revolution, since they only came to public light in quick and small propaganda actions or in violent confrontations with soldiers and police, who persecuted with equal ferocity both militants and frightened citizens suspected of sympathizing with the subversives.In society, concerns arose without a clear and reliable answer: Who are these people really? Why do young people who could have a decent future expose themselves to almost certain death? And what is their daily life like; what do they do when they are not robbing banks? Where do they get their weapons? How can they abandon their parents, their partners, their children? What drives the increasingly rare survivors to continue fighting decade after decade without renouncing their ideas? The novel Secretos del clandestinaje offers a comprehensive and authoritative answer to these questions; it is an authentic narrative based on shocking real events that the author witnessed and knew directly from more than twenty years of militancy as a member of the Directorate of the National Liberation Forces and the Command of the Zapatista Army.When opening the book, hundreds of gray men and women who talk, dress, walk, work and travel, without distinguishing themselves from those around them? because their purpose is precisely to go unnoticed while they follow a policeman, acquire military manuals, receive donations of medicines, work in an oil company, rent apartments with assumed names, fill out forms in an embassy, teach or take classes, chat in parks and ice cream parlors, drive a cab, sell ground coffee in markets and restaurants... to fulfill the modest mission that day corresponds to them in the great project: to silently build the revolutionary organization to overthrow the regime.Through the lens of literary art, the reader will see everything from student rallies to jungle camps, passing through safe houses, recruitment of combatants, political debates, armed confrontations, persecutions, ambushes... acts, thoughts, emotions of men and women who, in the search for a world of justice and freedom, gave their lives and, if the time came, also their death.     Ante la represión al movimiento estudiantil popular, que en octubre de 1968 culminó con la masacre de Tlatelolco, surgieron en México docenas de grupos guerrilleros. Concebidas para enfrentar a un enemigo implacable, estas organizaciones tuvieron que gestarse y actuar en el clandestinaje, a espaldas de la ley, sin poder lograr a plenitud su objetivo de vincularse con el pueblo al que pretendían conducir hacia la revolución, pues sólo salían a la luz pública en rápidas y pequeñas acciones de propaganda o en violentos enfrentamientos con soldados y policías, quienes perseguían con igual saña tanto a los militantes como a los atemorizados ciudadanos sospechosos de simpatizar con los subversivos.En la sociedad surgían entonces inquietudes sin una contestación clara y confiable: ¿Quiénes son en realidad esas personas? ¿Por qué se exponen a una muerte casi segura jóvenes que podrían tener un futuro decoroso? ¿Y cómo es su diario vivir; qué hacen cuando no andan asaltando bancos? ¿De dónde sacan sus armas? ¿Cómo pueden abandonar a sus padres, su pareja, sus hijos? ¿Qué impulsa a los cada vez más escasos sobrevivientes a seguir luchando década tras década sin renunciar a sus ideas? La novela Secretos del clandestinaje ofrece una respuesta amplia y autorizada a esas preguntas; es una narración auténtica basada en impactantes hechos reales protagonizados y conocidos directamente por el autor en más de veinte años de militancia como integrante de la Dirección de las Fuerzas de Liberación Nacional y de la Comandancia del Ejército Zapatista.Al abrir el libro saldrán a escena centenares de hombres y mujeres grises que hablan, visten, caminan, laboran y viajan, sin distinguirse exteriormente de quienes los rodean… porque su propósito es precisamente pasar desapercibidos mientras siguen a un policía, adquieren manuales militares, reciben donativos de medicinas, trabajan en una empresa petrolera, rentan departamentos con nombres supuestos, llenan formularios en una embajada, imparten o toman clases, charlan en parques y neverías, conducen un taxi, venden café molido en mercados y restaurantes… para cumplir la modesta misión que ese día les corresponde en el gran proyecto: construir en silencio la organización revolucionaria para derrocar al régimen.Con el lente del arte literario verá el lector desde mítines estudiantiles hasta campamentos en la selva, pasando por casas de seguridad, reclutamiento de combatientes, debates políticos, enfrentamientos armados, persecuciones, emboscadas… actos, pensamientos, emociones de hombres y mujeres que en la búsqueda de un mundo de justicia y libertad entregaron su vida y, si acaso llegó el momento, también su muerte.

        Pura sangre (Pure blood)

        by Moisés Ramírez

        With a rhythmic irregularity that breaks its own voice, this work contains a deceptive but measured movement, as if it were the footwork of a boxer, which gradually envelops the reader. There is a singular back-and-forth in this collection of poems: scenarios described through sensations, through immaterial elements; and sensations exposed through physical ingredients. There is bebop. Words are left behind. And then they come back on their own, lashing out. It is not surprising, then, that inside this book there is a reference to Thelonious Monk, an expansive creator who took harmony to its ultimate consequences. As the author himself puts it, this book is a horse on the prairie.

        La visión del hombre en el pensamiento de Aristóteles

        by Ramírez Daza y García, Rómulo; Del Toro Comte, Cristina

        Aristóteles ha legado a la posteridad y a la cultura universal una gran herencia intelectual, dando solución de continuidad a su pasado y proyectándose luminosamente a su futuro que es justo nuestro presente. Sus ideas han sido acápite de muchas ciencias y sus enseñanzas han trascendido todas las fronteras desde Macedonia al resto del mundo, influenciando a intelectuales de toda cepa en distintos tiempos e intensidades diversas: filósofos, científicos, humanistas, teólogos y artistas; todo lo cual lo coloca como un “clásico” en el sentido fuerte del término. Releerlo es acercarse y descubrir sus magnas aportaciones que hoy en día damos por sentadas sin saber muchas veces que fueron suyas, y que se presentaron como novedosas y originales para su tiempo. Su visión del hombre se presenta unificada en este breve y conciso estudio, que permitirá adentrar al lector en una de las líneas más importantes del pensamiento del autor y en los fundamentos históricos y presentes de nuestra mentalidad occidental.
