(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.

Cocina Consciente - Comer sano, sentirse bien - Guía completa para una nueva alimentación En esta colección iniciamos el camino de la alimentación sana y consciente, a la vez que rompemos algunos mitos sobre sus sabores y costos. La idea que se encuentra en la base de esta propuesta es consumir, todos los días, las cinco porciones de fruta y verdura que aconseja la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), más semillas (oleaginosas, cereales y legumbres) y algas (marinas y de agua dulce). Recordemos siempre lo que decía Hipócrates (460-370 a. de C.) padre de la medicina: “Somos lo que comemos”. Gran frase a la que podemos agregar unas palabras para completar el concepto: “… y lo que hacemos”. Porque somos un todo, no solo debemos mejorar nuestra ingesta, sino también la dimensión espiritual y la actividad física. Por todo ello creemos en una alimentación consciente que vaya de la mano de una vida consciente, pues si nos alimentamos de una forma fisiológica no tendremos ninguna carencia nutricional. En esta entrega: Las grasas saludables (ácidos grasos) - Palta - Aceite de coco y aceite de oliva - Crema de zanahoria y maní - Sándwich superproteico - Pasta ahumada de garbanzos y cebada - Clásico guacamole - Sopa clásica de vegetales - Sopa raw de espinaca, perejil y tomate - Ensalada griega con trigo burgol - Rolls de berenjenas con crema de zanahoria - Ensalada andina agridulce - Papas, cebollas, berenjenas y pimientos al horno - Pan integral con masa madre - Rollitos de garbanzo al estilo griego - Estofado de mung y vegetales - Alubias picantes - Espaguetis integrales con arvejas y manteca de coco - Tacos con picante de lentejas - Tibio de chocolate y frutos secos - Lemon pie consciente

The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City. Many women like Villegas de Magnon from both sides of the border risked their lives and left their families to support the revolution. Years later, however, when their participation had still been unacknowledged and was running the risk of being forgotten, Villegas de Magnon decided to write her personal account of this history. The Rebel covers the period from 1876 through 1920, documenting the heroic actions of the women. Written in the third person with a romantic fervor, the narrative interweaves autobiography with the story of La Cruz Blanca. Until now Villegas de Magnon's written contributions have remained virtually unrecognized - peripheral to both Mexico and the United States, fragmented by a border. Not only does her work attest to the vitality, strength and involvement of women in sociopolitical concerns, but it also stands as one of the very few written documents that consciously challenges stereotyped misconceptions of Mexican Americans held by both Mexicans and Anglo-Americans.
