Book Description
This is the first book to comprehensively discuss Ecuadorian soils. Richly illustrated, it provides information on the unique characteristics and distribution of these soils. Due to the influence of the Andes, which vastly modified the climate and parental materials, a relative small country like Ecuador has a wide variety of soil orders, rarely found in other countries. The country is divided into three distinctive regions by the Andes: The Coastal Plain, the Andean Highlands, and the Amazonia Region each with different soil development, influenced by the varying conditions in that region. It is also necessary to consider the Galapagos Islands as a separate region with a particular climate and parental material.

Book Description
The reason behind the discomfort of mankind is the absence of meaning and consequently, they spend their lives in utter confusion while always trying to find out which direction they should head towards. In the pursuit of this direction--which is an inborn thirst inside them, they get lost in the pursuit of happiness when in actual thinking of happiness as a motivation to live is a deadly concept and that is why those who rely only on happiness, never end up finding their meaning of life. The meaning of life cannot be something temporary and can be found out in both happiness and pain--and this when discovered, results in a life of peace, harmony, and clarity. Not only this, it connects the humans with the divine purpose they are here for, which is consistent growth leading to excellence in terms of spirituality, purification, and connection with the divine. The book explains the complete picture of the meaning of life, in terms of man's journey from birth to death and a journey beyond death. This will help you see your life--to answer you about all the pain and miseries you have ever come across, and to prepare you for the upcoming trials of your life so that you do not remain lost and confused anymore and you get to tackle the life challenges with positive attitude, staunch confidence and a sheer will for sticking to the purpose anyhow. Once you internalize the concepts explained in this book, you will be able to identify your goals, discover your passion and how to align that passion with purpose to spend a life of satisfaction. It will help you become strong and most importantly, it will help you connect with the love of The Lord Most High at deeper levels.

Book Description
Salvadoran refugee women tell their stories of escape from El Salvador during some of the worst years of civil unrest (1979-1981) and their subsequent adaptation to refugee life in Costa Rica. These stories—called testimonios—are interwoven against the backdrop of their children's daycare center. The women's complex relationships with one another and the ambiguous nature of their interactions with the author as ethnographer are examined. The author's voice is used in the text to place the women in their historical and cultural context. The daily lives and the testimonios of the refugees serve as an eloquent expression of the multidimensional feminism that has developed in Latin America. In contrast to mainstream feminism in the United States that focuses primarily on the power relationships between men and women, the concern of Latin American feminism is with power asymmetries in socioeconomic class, ethnicity, and religion, as well as gender. The women, whose daycare center is supported by international funding, rely on their cultural traditions to survive in the face of tragedy and oppression.

Book Description
In recent debates over poverty and development, notions of worth, dignity, and human rights have come to the forefront. This publication addresses the link between the theoretical notion of dignity as a social primary good and its material expressions in daily life from comparative social anthropological and historical perspectives. The empirical analysis is based on over one hundred in-depth interviews with lone mothers living in different cultural settings in Costa Rica. In addition, a unique and innovative national social policy measure aimed at promoting dignity and self-worth as a means to exit poverty and secure sustainable development is assessed.
