Santa Fe photographer Joan Alessi provides a polychromatic exposition of New Mexico's traditional roadside memorials, descansos, as an art form. Her stunning photography captures the artistic attributes of these decorative crosses while preserving their religious and cultural integrity. tradition of roadside memorials. These religious markers are not in themselves unique to the southwestern United States. Rather, they are a universal phenomenon with a long and curious history. The term descanso (literally translated as resting place), however, may have indeed originated among the Spanish-speaking vecinos of New Mexico.

When his father died, Harrison Candelaria Fletcher wasn’t quite two. His mother packed up his father’s belongings, put the boxes in a hall closet, and closed the door. The “man in a box” remained a mystery, hardly mentioned, and making only rare appearances in stories when Fletcher or his siblings inquired. Meanwhile, his young Hispanic mother transformed herself into an artist, scouting the back roads and secondhand shops of New Mexico for relics and unlikely treasures to add to her “little shrines,” or descansos. “Look closely,” she’d say to her son. “Everything tells a story.” This book is Fletcher’s literary descanso, a piecing together—from moments and objects and words—of a father’s life, of the life lived without that father, and of his own mixed-race identity. Fletcher’s reflections unfold like a collage, offering a rich array of images and stories of life with his single mother, organizing weekend family car trips to explore graveyards and adobe ruins; of growing up on the fault lines of class and culture; of being a father who never had one of his own to learn from. From incidents and observations, Fletcher assembles a beautifully crafted portrait of his family’s unspoken affliction with loss over the decades, a portrait that finally evokes the father at its heart.

This three-volume encyclopedia describes and explains the variety and commonalities in Latina/o culture, providing comprehensive coverage of a variety of Latina/o cultural forms—popular culture, folk culture, rites of passages, and many other forms of shared expression. In the last decade, the Latina/o population has established itself as the fastest growing ethnic group within the United States, and constitutes one of the largest minority groups in the nation. While the different Latina/o groups do have cultural commonalities, there are also many differences among them. This important work examines the historical, regional, and ethnic/racial diversity within specific traditions in rich detail, providing an accurate and comprehensive treatment of what constitutes "the Latino experience" in America. The entries in this three-volume set provide accessible, in-depth information on a wide range of topics, covering cultural traditions including food; art, film, music, and literature; secular and religious celebrations; and religious beliefs and practices. Readers will gain an appreciation for the historical, regional, and ethnic/racial diversity within specific Latina/o traditions. Accompanying sidebars and "spotlight" biographies serve to highlight specific cultural differences and key individuals.

Entrenamiento para ciclistas. Sobrecargas máximas es un innovador programa de entrenamiento basado en la fuerza y destinado a aumentar la velocidad de los ciclistas, la longevidad deportiva y la salud general en la mitad de tiempo. Una vez de mejorar la tolerancia física recorriendo distancias más largas sobre la bici, aprenderás a hacerlo reduciendo el tiempo que pasas pedaleando e incorporando el entrenamiento de la fuerza y la potencia. Tradicionalmente, los ciclistas y los deportistas de fondo han evitado este tipo de entrenamiento, creyendo que el paso adicional del músculo los volvería más lentos; sin embargo, los autores Jacques DeVore y Roy M. Wallack te demuestran exactamente lo contrario. El programa de sobrecargas máximas recurre al levantamiento de pesas para generar potencia sostenible y mejorar la velocidad a la vez que reduce drásticamente el tiempo de entrenamiento y elimina el temido deterioro que se suele producir durante la segunda mitad de las pruebas físicas. Una sesión de sobrecargas máximas de 40 minutos, dos o tres veces por semana, remplaza un largo día sobre el sillín y obtiene resultados incluso mejores. Este programa general aporta una perspectiva única sobre la dieta, el entrenamiento con intervalos, las sesiones duras y fáciles de entrenamiento y la potencia sostenible. Respaldado por reconocidas figuras del deporte. Entrenamiento para ciclistas. Sobrecargas máximas en un libro del que no puede prescindir ningún ciclista.
