Botany, Production and Uses
by Sisir Mitra, A Aytekin Polat, Manuel Agustí, Josep Armengol, Maria Luisa Badenes, Manuel Blasco, Julián Cuevas González, Vittorio Farina, Elisa González-Dominguez, Qigao Guo, Liang Guolu, Juan José Hueso, Yuanyuan Jiang, Francisco Legaz, Hailan Lin, Shoukai Lin, Dahe Lin, Shunquan Lin, Shiwei Ma, Belén Martínez-Alcántara, Amparo Martínez-Fuentes, Carlos Mesejo, Julia Morales, Ana Quiñones, Carmina Reig, Esteban Soler, Jincheng Wu, Bisha Wu, Xianghui Yang, Peng Ze, Lifen Zhang
Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is a subtropical evergreen fruit tree indigenous to China. Records show it has been cultivated in China for over 2000 years. From this beginning, loquat has spread to more than 30 countries around the world. Grown in various regions of Asia, the Mediterranean and across the Americas, loquats suit both temperate and subtropical areas, sharing the same environmental conditions as citrus. Loquat is an increasingly commercial crop in some Asian and European countries with a good amount of international trade. Recent research has focused on improving crop yields and quality. Over 100 different varieties have been developed to meet both growers' and consumers' demands. These developments have contributed to a better understanding of the crop environment, plant growth and physiology of tree and fruit development with implications for both breeding and cultivation. This book is to be the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of the history, physiology, culture and marketing of loquat throughout the world.

May 2019Life in Translation
by Anthony Ferner
The narrator looks back on the muddle of his life as a literary translator, moving between London and Lima, Paris and Madrid, Leiden and back to London. He has long dreamt of finding literary fame, and has toiled away at his translation of an important but dauntingly bleak Peruvian novel. He struggles to complete the work, and takes on a series of dead-end jobs to make ends meet. For a while he earns a living at a large multinational company whose hidebound hierarchy infuriates him. At length he discovers his true niche as a translator of the works of a tricky doyen of Latin American fiction. Over the years, friends, family, colleagues and lovers appear, disappear and reappear, but his edgy relationships with them seem to go nowhere. He comes to the painful realisation that he, a translator, is prone to ‘misreadings’: of his own strengths and weaknesses, of the women in his life, of his colleagues, of the viability of his translation career, of the options open to him. Will this bumbling translator succeed in disentangling the knotty syntax of his own life and relationships?

Gender studies: womenJune 2012MUJERES A LA CONQUISTA DE ESPACIOS.
by ALMELA BOIX, Margarita; GUZMÁN GARCÍA, Helena; SANFILIPPO, Marina; GARCÍA LORENZO, María Magdalena
Mujeres a la conquista de espacios es el cuarto libro del Seminario sobre Literatura y Mujer (siglos XX y XXI) y está dedicado a la representación de los espacios físicos y simbólicos de las mujeres. Hasta el siglo XIX, los espacios en la literatura eran simplemente un lugar de paso, una realidad más o menos formal, pero con los cambios sociales y los nuevos enfoques de pensamiento de los siglos XX y XXI, el espacio pasará a ser entendido desde otro punto de vista: ocupar un espacio define nuestro estar en el mundo, conseguir una realidad espacial significa ocupar un lugar en el tiempo, con todo lo que comporta ejercer algún tipo de poder o sufrir alguna pérdida.

FictionApril 2017Los pecados de Victoria
by Giovanna Zuluaga
My knees were shaking so I collapsed face down on the rug, feeling its texture and a distant smell of lavender. I moved with his urgent pace, in a perfect and harmonious copulation, until we came almost at the same time. We remained silent, while our breath calmed down, his chest on my back, all his skin adhered to mine. [...] Victoria is not the ideal protagonist of a book, because she is far from being the perfect, virginal and innocent woman who abounds in contemporary stories. She has a love-hate relationship with sex and with men, as well as a vulnerable and masochistic personality. Classified by its author as a "dramatic erotic" book, "Victoria's Sins" is a story based on real events, it is told in first person, intimate, personal, sometimes exciting, because of the stories it narrates, and other times sad, because of the situations that the protagonist must confront in her desperate search for happiness.

Christian theologyThe Christ Always New
The Place of Context in Christology
by Francisco García Martínez
Something has changed in Christology, something that causes anxiousness and worry among the shepherds and theologians that try to give reason of their faith in a time and in a society where certitudes have dwindled. However, since Christ is the same yesterday, today and always, the only and universal Salvator in history, theology, forced by Christ’s eschatological lordship, which does not despise any historical present as his own body, must look for new ways to offer today’s men and women the truth, beauty and goodness that are in store for all in God’s very depths. According to this logic, where the context becomes a provocation inviting faith and theology to be daring, the liturgical Christ reveals himself as the foundation of Christology, since it is the place where he displays his truth and living presence.

FictionApril 2018My old guerrilla
by Álvaro Filho
A narrative full of time, memories on the shoulders, rusty bodies smelling of sea air, a testimony of uncertain memories of stories. The novel 'My old guerrilla' tells the story of a exiled writer abroad who returns to hometown (Olinda), mother's request, to try to dissuade the father of the idea of killing the president, who took power after a coup. Alvaro Filho teaches us that we must "silence to hear the wind," time to understand the affection of places and things, calmly swallowing discomfort, and wisdom to understand our ancestry. 'My old guerrilla' is like a reef solid melts into air, and the wind sweeping "flesh, bone, blood, paper and ink."

In spite of everything, three headlights turn on light in the shadows of her misfortune: friendship, hope and a dream. Friendship is provided by Juan and Antonio, two rogue vagabonds. Hope beats in a bag full of money that seems to be pulling the strings of destiny. And the dream awaits him in college, where he plans to study law, become a lawyer, and exercise a law capable of preventing innocent people like his parents from suffering the rigors of injustice. Blood Libel is a fascinating story of love and friendship set in Madrid during the Golden Age, a vibrant but bleak time in which, while faith in God lit hearts, crimes against it lit bonfires.
