The Little Devil and the Rose / El diablito y la rosa
Author: Viola Canales
Publisher: Arte Publico Press
ISBN: 1558857923
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
In her ode to ñThe Umbrella,î Viola Canales remembers a family story about her mother, who every Saturday as a child ñpopped open her prized childÍs bright umbrella / as did her little sister / and followed their motherÍs adult one / from their Paloma barrio home / to downtown Main Street McAllen / walking like ducks in a row / street after street,î until one Saturday ñthe littlest one disappeared / inside the wilderness of WoolworthÍs.î Warm-hearted recollections of family members are woven through this collection of 54 poems, in English and Spanish, which uses the images from loterÕa cards to pay homage to small-town, Mexican-American life along the Texas-Mexico border. Cultural traditions permeate these verses, from the curanderas who cure every affliction to the daily ritual of the afternoon merienda, or snack of sweetbreads and hot chocolate. The communityÍs Catholic tradition is ever-present; holy days, customs and saints are staples of daily life. San MartÕn de Porres, or ñEl Negrito,î was her grandmotherÍs favorite saint, ñfor although she was pale too / sheÍd lived through the vestiges of the Mexican war / the loss of land, culture, language, and control / and it was El Negrito to whom she turned for hopeî to bring enemies together. Fond childhood memories of climbing mesquite trees and eating raspas are juxtaposed with an awareness of the disdain with which Mexican Americans are regarded. Texas museums, just like its textbooks, feature cowboy boots worn by Texas Rangers, but have no ñclue or sign of the vaqueros, the original cowboys / or the Tejas, the native Indians there.î And some childhood memories arenÍt so happy. In ñThe Hand,î she writes: ñIn the morning I arrived at my first-grade class / knowing no English / at noon I got smacked by the teacher / for speaking Spanish outside, in the playground.î Inspired by the archetypes found in the Mexican bingo game called loterÕa, these poems reflect the historyof family, culture and warrooted in the Southwest for hundreds of years.

Amazing Adventures of a Heart Surgeon
Author: Domingo Liotta
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595848044
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
The startling originality of Amazing Adventures of a Heart Surgeon is intrinsically imbued in its focus on historical ethics and esthetic theories. Author and cardiovascular surgeon Domingo Liotta provides a penetrating interpretation from the first millennium BC, considered a major mystery to the world, to modern science. He also discusses the early conception of cardiovascular system, the oxygenation of tissues, the mysterious medical power of shamanism, Taoism, Ugarit, the mythic lost city. It is in this unique melding of Science and humanism that Liotta vehemently intends the definition of a good medical doctor-while recounting the story of his remarkable life. These lectures portray Liotta's dedication in search of the hearts of studious and meditative youths reluctant to change their tools of comprehension and the strategies for mastering difficult-to-understand topics. Thus, Liotta's interests extend from pure science to many adjoining fields-such as philosophy, philology, theology, and education. He shares his knowledge of modern scientific results and his enormous historical information to help rescue his bewildered students. In a collaborative endeavor between science and humanities, Amazing Adventures of a Heart Surgeon reflects Liotta's marvelous adventure to develop the first totally artificial heart and its clinical application-the first in the history of mankind-in his tireless fight for human life.

Cara de PrÓCer
Author: Roberto Luis Guzm N.
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463339992
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Palabras, acciones, escenas se despliegan por aquí y más allá en Cara de Prócer, un libro de cuentos y relatos que línea a línea construye su lugar. Tramas que marcan momentos de la vida. Impensados, comunes, ajenos, irreversibles. Ni más ni menos que el delineado del paso de hombres y mujeres que viven dentro de cada historia. Así los relatos: El caballo de Troya, y Extraña lluvia, se dirimen en las fronteras de lo fantástico y cotidiano. Tomografía computada, exhibe desde un realismo crudo cuan frágil y hasta patético se puede ser en el decurso de un problema de salud. Es Macao grr..., una historia que nos acerca los desatinos a los que se puede arribar, simple y llanamente por seguir la ruta del azar, la seducción del juego. Nadie se dispone a perder, aunque simule lo contrario. Escenas, personajes, lugares, amores y humores... Nada escapa a la pluma de Roberto Luis Guzmán. Marta Rosa Mutti
