La enemistad entre dos cabezas de familia, ladrilleros de profesión en Argentina, llega a sus hijos varones y los conduce hacia un destino trágico. Amanece en un terreno baldío, ocupado por una gran noria. Dos cuerpos yacen en el suelo, rodeados de barro y hierbas mustias, sin que sepamos bien qué hacen ahí ni de dónde han venido, pero la memoria habla. Ladrilleros es el relato de una enemistad casi legendaria entre dos cabezas de familia, Oscar Tamai y Elvio Miranda, dos ladrilleros que trabajan de día para ganarse el pan y se pierden de noche en el juego y el sexo, las únicas diversiones que están al alcance de casi todos en un pueblo argentino donde el calor aprieta y las palabras faltan. Quienes pagarán el precio de tanto odio serán los hijos de estos hombres tan hombres, y la historia de todos va desfilando a la sombra de una noria que da vueltas en el vacío. Con un lenguaje que gobierna la desesperación y un estilo heredado de los maestros de la gran literatura, Selva Almada nos lleva sin más trámites al territorio del macho, un varón bronco que se sabe débil y por eso ama de malas maneras y mata con saña, mientras las mujeres hacen lo que hay que hacer para que la vida siga adelante. Reseña: «Una voz potente que nace en las huellas de Juan Carlos Onetti y, más allá, de William Faulkner y Erskine Caldwell.» Cristian Alarcón Casanova, El País «Una tragedia rural, una historia de amor masculina, un escenario de tierra seca y bruta en el que los Capuleto y los Montesco -en verdad los Tamai y los Miranda- son seres toscos, que fabrican ladrillos para ganarse el pan a la vez que libran una guerra de pasto quemado y galgos ahorcados. Es el reverso brutal de una historia de amor que termina en desgracia.» Karina Sainz Borgo, Voz Pópuli

Biomedical Ethics For Engineers written by Daniel Vallero and has been published by Elsevier this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011-04-01 with Technology & Engineering categories.
Biomedical Ethics for Engineers provides biomedical engineers with a new set of tools and an understanding that the application of ethical measures will seldom reach consensus even among fellow engineers and scientists. The solutions are never completely technical, so the engineer must continue to improve the means of incorporating a wide array of societal perspectives, without sacrificing sound science and good design principles. Dan Vallero understands that engineering is a profession that profoundly affects the quality of life from the subcellular and nano to the planetary scale. Protecting and enhancing life is the essence of ethics; thus every engineer and design professional needs a foundation in bioethics. In high-profile emerging fields such as nanotechnology, biotechnology and green engineering, public concerns and attitudes become especially crucial factors given the inherent uncertainties and high stakes involved. Ethics thus means more than a commitment to abide by professional norms of conduct. This book discusses the full suite of emerging biomedical and environmental issues that must be addressed by engineers and scientists within a global and societal context. In addition it gives technical professionals tools to recognize and address bioethical questions and illustrates that an understanding of the application of these measures will seldom reach consensus even among fellow engineers and scientists. · Working tool for biomedical engineers in the new age of technology · Numerous case studies to illustrate the direct application of ethical techniques and standards · Ancillary materials available online for easy integration into any academic program

An exhilarating travelogue for a new generation about a journey along Colombia’s Magdalena River, exploring life by the banks of a majestic river now at risk, and how a country recovers from conflict. "Richly observed." —Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review An American writer of Argentine, Syrian, and Iraqi Jewish descent, Jordan Salama tells the story of the Río Magdalena, nearly one thousand miles long, the heart of Colombia. This is Gabriel García Márquez’s territory—rumor has it Macondo was partly inspired by the port town of Mompox—as much as that of the Middle Eastern immigrants who run fabric stores by its banks. Following the river from its source high in the Andes to its mouth on the Caribbean coast, journeying by boat, bus, and improvised motobalinera, Salama writes against stereotype and toward the rich lives of those he meets. Among them are a canoe builder, biologists who study invasive hippopotamuses, a Queens transplant managing a failing hotel, a jeweler practicing the art of silver filigree, and a traveling librarian whose donkeys, Alfa and Beto, haul books to rural children. Joy, mourning, and humor come together in this astonishing debut, about a country too often seen as only a site of war, and a tale of lively adventure following a legendary river.

Fundamentals Of Air Pollution written by Daniel Vallero and has been published by Elsevier this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007-10-01 with Technology & Engineering categories.
Fundamentals of Air Pollution is an important and widely used textbook in the environmental science and engineering community. Written shortly after the passage of the seminal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the third edition was quite timely. Surprisingly, the text has remained relevant for university professors, engineers, scientists, policy makers and students up to recent years. However, in light of the transition in the last five years from predominantly technology-based standards (maximum achievable control technologies or MACTs) to risk-based regulations and air quality standards, the text must be updated significantly. The fourth edition will be updated to include numerous MACTs which were not foreseen during the writing of the third edition, such as secondary lead (Pb) smelting, petroleum refining, aerospace manufacturing, marine vessel loading, ship building, printing and publishing, elastomer production, offsite waste operations, and polyethylene terephthalate polymer and styrene-based thermoplastic polymers production. * Focuses on the process of risk assessment, management and communication, the key to the study of air pollution. * Provides the latest information on the technological breakthroughs in environmental engineering since last edition * Updated information on computational and diagnostic and operational tools that have emerged in recent years.
