Esta obra trata sobre la vida de un exitoso fotógrafo poblano de principios del siglo pasado, Josaphat Martínez, cuya transcendencia en las artes gráficas de su época, dejó de una profunda huella en la modalidad fotografía. Su talento y sensibilidad le permitieron ascender rápidamente como profesional, primero en México, retratando a los principales caudillos de la Revolución Mexicana, y posteriormente en las ciudades de Rochester y Nueva York, encomendándosele la toma fotográfica del presidente Woodrow Wilson, algo difícil de darse a un mexicano, debido a las tensas relaciones EU-México, y por lo tanto la animadversión hacia los mexicanos era en ese entonces sumamente marcada. Sin ser biografía de Josaphat propiamente dicha, la obra describe una parte de su interesante vida y por otro lado, en el relato de la misma, pueden captarse los momentos históricos que se vivían, en ambos países, llegando hasta la vida posrevolucionaria de México.

In 2005, a mosaic artist embarked on a project to exalt the beauty and strength of women through twenty vibrant mosaics inspired by the lush landscapes of Puerto Rico. But during the three years of intensive work, a chilling realization emerged: the rising tide of violence against women. By September 2007, as the mosaics neared completion, the number of women tragically killed by their partners in Puerto Rico almost equaled the number of artworks. The artist’s exhibition, ‘Virgins,’ became a haunting tribute to the twenty women whose lives were lost that year, their names etched into the pages of this book. This powerful collection serves as a powerful homage to all victims of gender violence past, present, and future, and a desperate plea to end this devastating epidemic. Each mosaic is a testament to the lives stolen, their beauty and spirit forever immortalized in vibrant tile.

The philosophy of this best-selling introductory text is to emphasize communicative proficiency. Based on the Natural Approach, the text stresses the use of activities in a natural and spontaneous classroom atmosphere. In this comprehension-based approach, the development of receptive skills listening and reading precedes and forms the basis for the development of the productive skills speaking and writing. "Dos mundos" is designed so that class time can be devoted to exposing students to Spanish through the abundant activities and readings in the text, allowing the grammar explanations and exercises to be studied outside of class.
