Описание:
In seventeenth-century Lima, pious Catholic women gained profound theological understanding and enacted expressions of spiritual devotion by engaging with a wide range of sacred texts and objects, as well as with one another, their families, and ecclesiastical authorities. In Embodying the Sacred, Nancy E. van Deusen considers how women created and navigated a spiritual existence within the colonial city's complex social milieu. Through close readings of diverse primary sources, van Deusen shows that these women recognized the divine—or were objectified as conduits of holiness—in innovative and powerful ways: dressing a religious statue, performing charitable acts, sharing interiorized spiritual visions, constructing autobiographical texts, or offering their hair or fingernails to disciples as living relics. In these manifestations of piety, each of these women transcended the limited outlets available to them for expressing and enacting their faith in colonial Lima, and each transformed early modern Catholicism in meaningful ways.
The DNA sequencing of a series of living organisms has elucidated many biological problems. But the internal atomic and electronic evolution of DNA remains to be mapped in detail. RNA and DNA now appear to be the prime determinants of biological evolution leading to the sudden appearance of novel organism structures and functions that emerge "ready made" as a surprise to the organism. This has been demonstrated by the manipulation of genes that led to the sudden production of additional complete wings and legs in flies and birds. The study of this internal atomic construction of macromolecules is being investigated at the large electron accelerators such as the MAX IV Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, Lund University, Sweden.
The periodicity of the chemical elements is well known from its iconic Table. Significantly, this periodicity can now be seen to extend to the properties of living organisms. Biological properties as different as: flight, vision, luminescence and regeneration, as well as others, show unexpectedly periodic emergence. They resurface, without previous announcement, in most unrelated plant and animal families and they emerge irrespective of whether the organism is a simple invertebrate or a most complex mammal.
Moreover, this periodicity does not necessarily start at the cell or DNA levels but appears initially in crystals and minerals, where it is shown to be a pure atomic and electronic process, e.g. in luminescence and regeneration.
The assembled molecular evidence led to the construction of Periodic Tables of living organisms, placing them in a position comparable to the periodicity of the chemical elements. Surprisingly, there are striking resemblances between the periodicities of the chemical elements and those of living organisms. In addition, the two types of Tables increase our insight into the events directing atomic evolution since the periodic law established in chemical elements turns out to be applicable to the periodicity of living organisms. The new Periodic Tables introduce a predictive capacity in biological evolution that before was hardly contemplated.
Eric Scerri, from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, California University, Los Angeles, who is the Author of the book "The Periodic Table. Its Story and its Significance," Oxford University Press, stated in an e-mail that "Professor Lima-de-Faria's book is wonderful and a pioneering work."

Описание: Al mejor estilo de novela histуrica, Hйctor de Lima presenta La Pasajera de la Revoluciуn. El trбnsito por los aсos finales de la dictadura de Marcos Pйrez Jimйnez y su йpoca del terror hasta el inicio de la era democrбtica, marcada por la huida de miles de jуvenes hacia la montaсa en busca de un paraнso imaginado, importado desde Cuba, son el marco para el desarrollo de un amor accidentado y extraordinario que llega incluso hasta tiempos posteriores a la muerte de Hugo Chбvez. Los grandes salones de las casas de los poderosos de la dictadura con sus lбmparas de cristal y sus bailes; las manifestaciones estudiantiles furiosas por justicia y libertad contra la dictadura, los нconos de la Caracas de fines de los aсos 50, 60 y 80, la cбrcel, la tortura, la corrupciуn, el poder, se abren paso a travйs de estas pбginas indispensables para el deleite y al mismo tiempo para conocer a una Venezuela dibujada hasta hoy, que aun palpita en los sueсos de democracia y libertad. Claudia Gonzбlez Gamboa
Poema heroyco hispano-latino (1687), a national chronicle or "epic poem," commemorates the founding and greatness of Lima, Peru. Its unique rhymed quatrains can be read in either Latin or Spanish with equal meaning, and its insightful marginal notes interpret the city's cultural history. Rodrigo de Valdes (1609-1682) underscores the decadence of peninsular Spanish letters in contrast to the compositions of New World writers. The poem is a tribute to the superiority, versatility, and interchangeability of Spanish and Latin as instruments of power that led to Spain's world dominance, and to Lima as the locus of marvels and a quasi biblical garden of delights.
Lima has occupied without exception a privileged space within the colonial situation, as a metaphorical sovereign of new-world experiences and potentialities. Influenced by the spirit of Baroque sensibilities and Creole pride in his patria, Valdes bequeathed to Lima a staged panegyric that served as King Charles II's introduction to the bounty of his American colony. Valdes, acting as commentator, guides the reader through a journey that spans centuries of Peru's illustrious history. Working within the classical tradition of laus urbis or the praise of cities, Valdes depicts America as a paradise found with Lima at its center.
In tracing the poem's relationship to the genre of classical panegyrics, Neal A. Messer and Jerry M. Williams argue its literary merits and elucidate how it enriches the colonial family of Latin American texts. Republished for the first time, this critical edition introduces Valdes to students and scholars of Ibero-American letters.
