Death in the Afternoon is a non-fiction book written by Ernest Hemingway about the ceremony and traditions of Spanish bullfighting, published in 1932. The book provides a look at the history and what Hemingway considers the magnificence of bullfighting. It also contains a deeper contemplation on the nature of fear and courage. While essentially a guide book, there are three main sections: Hemingway's work, pictures, and a glossary of terms.

In the fall of 2001 the Museum of Fine Arts (Museum of New Mexico) in Santa Fe exhibited thirty, mostly unseen, paintings by native New Mexican Eliseo Rodriguez, considered one of the state's foremost Hispano artists best known for his work in straw applique. Prior to this extraordinary event Rodriguez's prolific, nearly seven decades-long work as a painter had been largely unrecognized. This catalogue features two dozen paintings-ranging from still lifes to New Mexican landscapes to traditional religious themes-made by Rodriguez dating from the early 1930s to the late 1970s and biographical essays on the artist's life and work.

The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
