Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Diversity of Migration in South-East Europe
This interdisciplinary volume gathers recent work related to the diverse migratory movements in South-East Europe. The contributions address current aspects of emigration, immigration, transit migration and return from different disciplinary vantage points. They impressively demonstrate that South-East Europe is a highly dynamic migration region marked by a multiplicity of migration-related processes fuelled by global and especially European developments. «This edited book presents an illuminating and stimulating range of essays on a key European and global region which has experienced an extraordinary diversity of migration types and regimes in recent decades. Employing an innovative range of methodologies, the contributions show that South-East Europe is no longer to be seen as a ‘problematic’ space of emigration and transit but as a theatre for highly dynamic mobility phenomena.» (Russell King, Professor of Geography, University of Sussex) «This thought-provoking book makes an important contribution to understanding migration processes from, within and through South-East Europe. The innovative research approach and new insights about diversity of human mobility in the region described in the book will resonate with scholars, policymakers and broader readership within and beyond the region.» (Hariz Halilovich, Associate Professor of Anthropology, RMIT University, Melbourne) «The thorough theoretical and empirical contributions of this volume reveal South-East Europe as a highly diversified European space of complex migration regimes and processes beyond the image of the "troubled", "ethno-national" Balkans. This timely book impressively shows how good scholarship both critically re-assesses knowledge production and points to inequalities and hierarchies on different scales.» (Jelena Tosic, Researcher and lecturer in Social Anthropology, Universities of Vienna and Berne)

Antologa potica
CHARLES SIMIC es un caso ?raro? en la literatura de EE. UU. Nacido en la Yugoslavia de 1938, fue uno de los miles de inmigrantes que cruzaron el océano para desembarcar en EE. UU. A Nueva York llegó con 16 años y poco tiempo después decidió que quería escribir poesía, y que lo haría en inglés, pese a que no era su lengua materna. Fue ahí donde empezó la carrera de un poeta reconocido con el Premio Pulitzer de Poesía en 1990 y nombrado Poeta Laureado por la Biblioteca del Congreso de EE. UU. en 2007, tras Donald Hall. Defensor del ?menos es más?, supersticioso sin remedio y con un humor irreverente que heredó de tierras balcánicas, Simic incluye en sus poemas imágenes y metáforas desconcertantes, producto de su influencia surrealista, y personajes marginales que representan con ironía y dignidad el paso de la humanidad por la miseria y el fracaso. Sin posicionarse en escuelas ni movimientos, Simic no huye de lo grotesco o lo incómodo, de la oscuridad y la ruina, y en su poesía encontram

Rizzoli International Publications Art X Fashion: Fashion Inspired by Art
Long before 'collabs' became a buzzword, artists influenced every aspect of the fashion world. This approachable collection compares fashion and art side-by-side to highlight a variety of relationships: inspiration, collaboration, and artists working to create their own fashion or fashion photography. Art X Fashion introduces readers to designers like Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, who famously worked with artists like Picasso and Dali in the early twentieth century, as well as to iconic fashion moments like Yves Saint Laurent s 1965 homage to Piet Mondrian. Art and fashion pairings like John Galliano (inspired by Tutankhamun s death mask, Arcimboldo, Gustav Klimt, and Hokusai), Guo Pei (inspired by Velazquez), Margiela (inspired by Gaugin), and Iris Van Herpen (inspired by Paul Delvaux), reveal surprising connections. Projects by street artists like Keith Haring and Kaws introduce the era of collaborations, which saw artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami work with Louis Vuitton. More recent collaborations include Raf Simons with Sterling Ruby and Kerby Jean-Raymond with Derrick Adams. Chapters on striking purses and other accessories designed by artists, and artists creating in fashion including Cindy Sherman, William Wegman, and John Baldessari round out this fresh and delightful take on fashion design.

Rizzoli International Publications Bistronomy: Recipes from the Best New Paris Bistros
Finalist for the IACP Cookbook Award, Chefs and RestaurantsFrench food reimagined by a new generation of chefs. There is a new movement afoot in Paris. Young chefs have turned their backs on stuffiness and are creating an experience that is more fun and a lot less formal. In tiny independent bistros mostly on the outskirts of the city, they are turning out fantastically inventive food that bypasses many of the old sauces and relies instead on the vibrancy of responsibly sourced ingredients. Because they are working in tiny kitchens with little or no staff, advance preparation is esteemed. (Good news for the home cook looking to crib kitchen notes.) Among their tricks (which could fit easily into anyone’s repertoire) are finding inspired uses for humble root vegetables like rutabaga and parsnips, presenting a vegetable raw and cooked in the same dish, and revitalizing the classic crumble for dessert. In Bistronomy, Jane Sigal captures these chefs’ creative approach, culling recipes that translate their genius in ways the home cook can achieve. From L’Ami Jean’s chef Stéphane Jégo comes the soulful but unexpected Winter Squash Soup, accented with a cocoa whipped cream. Haricots Verts Salad with Strawberries and Feta is a charmer from Atsumi Sota at Clown Bar. And there is the showstopping Cherry and Beet Pavlova from Sean Kelly. The more than one hundred dishes in Bistronomy prove that these Paris bistros have become the idea factories of the culinary world. Like a trip to Paris, Bistronomy will make you fall in love with French cooking all over again.

Duke University Press Disciplinary Conquest: U.S. Scholars in South America, 1900–1945
In Disciplinary Conquest Ricardo D. Salvatore rewrites the origin story of Latin American studies by tracing the discipline's roots back to the first half of the twentieth century. Salvatore focuses on the work of five representative U.S. scholars of South America—historian Clarence Haring, geographer Isaiah Bowman, political scientist Leo Rowe, sociologist Edward Ross, and archaeologist Hiram Bingham—to show how Latin American studies was allied with U.S. business and foreign policy interests. Diplomats, policy makers, business investors, and the American public used the knowledge these and other scholars gathered to build an informal empire that fostered the growth of U.S. economic, technological, and cultural hegemony throughout the hemisphere. Tying the drive to know South America to the specialization and rise of Latin American studies, Salvatore shows how the disciplinary conquest of South America affirmed a new mode of American imperial engagement.

Ediciones Akal Las antgüedades de Roma
El arquitecto vicentino Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) viajó en cuatro ocasiones, quizá cinco, a Roma. Probablemente como consecuencia de su último viaje de 1554, y aprovechando el bagaje que los anteriores le habían procurado en lo referente al estudio de los restos antiguos y a la medición de las ruinas, escribió este opúsculo sobre las antigüedades romanas que fue publicado a la par en Roma y en Venecia ese mismo año.Diferenciándose de las obras coetáneas más importantes de la naciente primera arqueología, Palladio no propone un itinerario topográfico por la ciudad antigua como era usual, sino un recorrido rigurosamente tipológico, de la misma manera en que lo haría después pormenorizadamente en su trabajo teórico más notable, 'Los cuatro libros de la arquitectura' de 1570. Acueductos, termas, circos, teatros, anfiteatros y arcos triunfales se suceden en el libro de Palladio como un revelador compendio de tipologías, obviando su situación en el entramado urbano como criterio organi

Testigo de los muchos cambios socioeconómicos y políticos que continuaban erosionando los principios republicanos, y de los innumerables intentos por recomponer el imaginario colectivo democrático norteamericano a través de nuevas formas de intervención públicas, Whitman, fervoroso creyente en las posibilidades que encerraba la prensa como herramienta ideológica al servicio de la mejora social, elabora en estas narraciones una voz profundamente enraizada en las retóricas populares y sensacionalistas de preguerra, con el fin de restañar las heridas abiertas en la utópica comunidad republicana imaginada por los padres fundadores.La producción de relatos de Walt Whitman se concentra entre agosto de 1841 y junio de 1848, y se compone de veinticuatro textos, que aparecieron en muchas ocasiones con pseudónimo o sin firmar. Él mismo haría una selección que aparecería en " Specimen Days & Collect " (1882). Su ficción criticará los males derivados de la acumulación de capital, del poder y l

St. Marks Place in New York City has spawned countless artistic and political movements. Here Frank O’Hara caroused, Emma Goldman plotted and the Velvet Underground wailed. Ada Calhoun tells the “Fascinating” (Village Voice) many-layered history of the street—from its beginnings as a pear orchard to today’s hipster playground—organised around the pivotal moments when critics declared “St. Marks is dead”. In this “timely, provocative, and stylishly written book.” (The Atlantic), enriched by interviews and rare images, Calhoun profiles iconic characters from W.H. Auden to Abbie Hoffman, from Keith Haring to the Beastie Boys. St. Marks has variously been an elite address, an immigrants’ haven, a mafia warzone, a hippie paradise and a backdrop to the film Kids—but it has always been a place that outsiders call home.

Cuando Ortiz Nuevo se sumergió en las hemerotecas de La Habana, en busca de los orígenes de los tangos que en Andalucía se harían flamencos, no podía sospechar la riqueza y la profundidad de la información que hallaría. Los cientos de diarios y gacetillas que consultó muestran una activa vida teatral popular cubana en la que las referencias a bailes, canciones y tipos andaluces, gitanos y españoles son constantes. La documentación referida en este libro abarca una época tan temprana como la primera mitad del siglo XIX, en la que no existe aún un arte que se conozca como flamenco, pero nos permite apreciar los antecedentes y el proceso de formación de tipos y estereotipos que sabemos comunes solo unos decenios más tarde. De esta manera lo gitano se asoma a la prensa habanera del ochocientos.

C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd Syria at Bay: Secularism, Islamism, and "Pax Americana"
Immediately after the US-led invasion of Iraq, which was opposed by the Syrian government of Bashar al-Asad, there were real fears that Damascus would be next in line for 'regime change'. This perception was reinforced by Washington's rhetoric and its claims that the post-invasion Iraqi insurgency is being assisted by the Syrian intelligence service. The assassination of the Lebanese prime minister, Rafiq Hariri, compounded this pressure, with many observers pointing the finger at Damascus. The repercussions of his murder were anything but beneficial: Syria was compelled to withdrew its troops from Lebanon, where they had been stationed for nearly three decades. On the domestic front, Bashar is caught between hardliners and an increasingly impatient opposition. But will international pressure precipitate long overdue political reforms, or might it rebound, stifling the albeit hesitant relaxation of internal controls? Wieland argues that the West must not ignore Syria's robust tradition of secularism, and cautions that US attempts to undermine the current regime may, paradoxically, embolden the Islamists and help the regime to maintain its authoritarian grip on power.

Peeters Publishers Interdependency of Institutions and Private Entrepreneurs: Proceedings of the Second MOS Symposium (Leiden 1998)
The thirteen papers collected in "Interdependency of Institutions and Private Entrepreneurs" present the initial efforts to investigate the archival documentation dealing with the connections between the Mesopotamian institutions and the private entrepreneurs, in the broadest possible sense of the word. The institutions were the palace, which represented the royal administration, and the temples, whose economies were ultimately controlled by this royal administration. The private entrepreneurs were either individuals outside the institutions, who, for example, leased a certain type of institutional property, or persons inside the institutions, who provided the commodities needed for the cult. Contributors: P.-A. Beaulieu, A.C.V.M. Bongenaar, D. Charpin, J.G. Dercksen, G. van Driel, B. Haring, R.M. Jas, F. Joannès, W.M. Jongman, H. Neumann, J. Renger, W.H. van Soldt, and C. Wunsch.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Learning from Baby P: The politics of blame, fear and denial
Sharon Shoesmith was Director of Children's Services for Haringey in 2007 at the time of the death of Peter Connelly, also known as 'Baby P'.In Learning from Baby P, she carries out a dispassionate analysis of the events which followed Peter Connelly's death, documenting the responses of the media, politicians and the public. She explores the psychological and emotional responses we share when faced with such horrifying cases of familial child homicide, and how a climate of fear and blame which follows such tragedies can lead to negative consequences for other children at risk of harm, and for the social workers striving to protect them.Learning from Baby P is a thought-provoking book which aims to deepen understanding and shed light on the difficult relationship between politics, the media and child protection.

Debolsillo Dios no es bueno
Una extraordinaria polémica contra la religión por uno de los intelectuales más brillantes del siglo XX y princpios del XXI, Christopher Hitchens.Esta es la cuestión acerca de mis ideas y de quienes piensan como yo. Nuestra creencia no es una creencia. Nuestros principios no son una fe. No sostenemos nuestras convicciones dogmáticamente. Creemos firmemente que se puede vivir una vida ética sin religión. Y de hecho sabemos que el reverso es cierto: que la religión ha hecho que muchas personas no solo no se comporten mejor que otras, sino que consideren aceptable comportarse en modos que harían que el gerente de un burdel o un genocida torcieran el gesto.Christopher HitchensReseñas:Un libro serio y escrito desde la convicción, coherente con las ideas que lleva defendiendo toda su vida. Y Dios debería sentirse halagado: a diferencia de muchos de los que claman por su atención, Hitchens le habla como a un adulto.The New York Times Book Review

Ediciones Paraninfo, S.A A programar se aprende jugando
Programar consiste en dar órdenes a una máquina para que las ejecute de forma automática. Exige, únicamente, hablar un idioma que la máquina entienda: un lenguaje de programación. Con las herramientas apropiadas, basta escribir unas decenas de palabras para que nuestros deseos cobren vida en los circuitos de un ordenador. Es magia. Y está al alcance de todo aquel que esté dispuesto a invertir unas horas de su tiempo en estas páginas. El lenguaje de programación que el usuario aprenderá con este libro es C, el clásico por antonomasia. Si la música de los Beatles o los Rolling Stones se convirtiera en código, lo haría en C, sin duda. A diferencia de otros textos, en este se ha apostado por la programación de videojuegos como vehículo principal de aprendizaje. Qué mejor forma de aprender que con ejemplos inspirados por clásicos como Hundir la Flota, Trivial Pursuit, Monkey Island o Angry Birds? A programar se tiene que aprender programando, sí, pero también jugando.

Siruela Lolly Willowes
Su visión de la mujer es la que otorga a esta novela esa vertiente subversiva que la emparenta con la obra de Jane Austen y Virginia Woolf.SARAH WATERSLolly Willowes, de veintiocho años, está aún soltera cuando tras la muerte de su adorado padre pasa a depender de sus hermanos. Tras ocuparse de todo durante demasiado tiempo, decide escapar de su constreñida existencia y se traslada a una pequeña aldea en Bedfordshire. Allí, feliz y sin trabas, no tardará en descubrir su verdadera vocación: la brujería. Y junto a su gato y al más inesperado de los aliados, Lolly será, por fin, libre.Publicada en 1926 con un éxito inmediato, Lolly Willowes es la primera y más mágica creación de su autora. Deliciosamente irónica y sugerente, la obra supuso un corrosivo alegato a favor de la independencia de las mujeres, tema que, con una serena inteligencia y un genio subversivo, anticipó el tratamiento que de él harían más tarde escritoras modernas como Angela Carter o Jeanette Winterson.
