Book Description
Isang mabait at simpleng bata si LORENA pero hindi sya ordinaryong bata gaya ng kanyang inaakala. Nananalaytay sa kanyang mga ugat ang dugong bughaw ng isang pagiging sirena. Siya ang nawawalang anak ng reyna ng mga sirena sa Dagatlandya. Lumaki siya sa piling ng kanyang pekeng Nanay na dating kanang-kamay ng reyna. Kinamulatan niya na ang pagmalupitan siya ng kanyang Nanay kahit na nagsasaing siya, naglilinis ng bahay at naglalako ng mga isda para lang makuha siyang mahalin nito. Ngunit bigo siya, kung hindi sa kanyang kaibigan na pawikan, siguradong malulungkot lang siya buong araw. Tama, may kakayahan siyang makausap ang mga lamang-dagat. Isang araw, sumali siya sa paligsahan sa pag-awit. Dahil taglay niya ang mala-anghel na tinig, nasungkit niya ang unang gantimpala. Masayang-masaya siya ngunit ang panandaliang kasiyahan ay napalitan ng kalungkutan ng ang premyong pera na itatabi niya sa kanyang pag-aaral ay sapilitang kinuha ng kanyang ina para igasta sa bisyo nito. Sinampal at nakatikim ng mga masasakit na salita si Lorena mula sa kanyang Nanay. Tumakbo siya sa dalampasigan habang umiiyak. Gulat sa kanyang nalaman si Lorena. Hindi siya tunay na anak ng kanyang Nanay. Isa siyang sirena. Anak ng reyna ng Dagatlandya. Sa tulong ni Pawikana, naglakbay siya sa karagatan patungo sa kaharian ng kanyang tunay na ina. Ngunit, hinarangan sila ng masamang sirena na si Oktupoda. Sinugod siya upang paslangin pero biglang naglabas nang nakakasilaw na liwanag ang kanyang mga mata. Tuwang-tuwa siya at si Pawikana. Maraming pagsubok ang pinagdaanan ni Lorena sa ilalim ng dagat bago niya narating ang nakaratay niyang ina, ang reyna ng Dagatlandya. Nariyan ang malapit siyang matusta sa bolang apoy ng dragon, makain ng pating, at matuklaw ng dagat-ahas. Sa kanyang busilak na kalooban at pananampalataya sa Dakilang May Likha, nakamit niya ang pinakaasam-asam na bagay: ang pagmamahal ng ina

Book Description
Long before the first Hebrew temple, before the birth of Christ or the mission of Muhammad, there lived in Persia a prophet to whom we owe the ideas of a single god, the cosmic struggle between good and evil, and the Apocalypse. His name was Zarathustra, and his teachings eventually held sway from the Indus to the Nile and spread as far as Britain. Following Zarathustra’s elusive trail back through time and across the Islamic, Christian, and Jewish worlds, Paul Kriwaczek uncovers his legacy at a wedding ceremony in present-day Central Asia, in the Cathar heresy of medieval France, and among the mystery cults of the Roman empire. He explores pre-Muslim Iran and Central Asia, ultimately bringing us face to face with the prophet himself, a teacher whose radical humility shocked and challenged his age, and whose teachings have had an enduring effect on Western thought. The result is a tour de force of travel and historical inquiry by an adventurer in the classic tradition.

Book Description
Recent work in comparative political economy has generated a host of alternative explanations for variation in national economic performance--institutional sclerosis, flexible specialization, governance relations, etc. In each case, these explanations have trouble accounting for more than a handful of instances. In Search of National Economic Success uses detailed case studies with statistical analysis to comparatively assess the "market liberal" belief in free markets, limited government, and the tradeoff between economic efficiency and social justice. Lane Kenworthy argues that the key to economic success lies in combining competition with cooperation. Among advanced industrialized nations, the countries achieving the best economic performance results over the past three decades have been the most committed to combining competition and cooperation. Those faring the worst rely predominantly on atomistic, individualistic competition. In the end, the comparative record strongly supports a focus on cooperation-inducing institutions. This volume will prove invaluable to scholars and students in comparative politics, international political economy, and comparative economics. "[This volume] presents an alternative explanation of the cross-national variation in performance, arguing that national economic success lies in combining competition with cooperation." --Journal of Economic Literature

Book Description
Wejen Chang brings a fresh perspective to the most prominent Chinese classical philosophers - Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, Lord Shang and Han Fei.

He shows how these thinkers addressed the key question of how philosophical thinking can serve humanity and society. Chang systematically presents their different solutions and evaluates them according to reason and experience, helping you to understand the philosophical roots of law and Chinese law in particular.

Book Description
The book presents the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, what is and how it has developed over time, since it was founded in 1983. The Institute is today an eminently technical and at the same time autonomous body of the Mexican State.Beyond a chronology of events, this book raises two needs that have marked the Institute's evolution: the first, to properly measure the many components of reality, whether social, economic or natural; and the second, decisive for the public's trust and whose absence would invalidate the purposes of the previous need, to preserve the information from any consideration, other than strictly professional, in all stages of its production and dissemination.This work conveys INEGI's transcendence as an indispensable institution for the country to respond to the fundamental question, common to all human beings: to know and understand the reality of their environment.

Book Description
New Mexico is a land of crisis; steps must be taken to improve the lives of its residents. In In Search of a Day in Paradise: Aztlan, author Dr. Moises Venegas analyzes the history of Hispanics in the southwest and makes a call for change in New Mexico's education, policies, and politics. Venegas shows that after four hundred years, mestizo Hispanos are still searching for their elusive day in paradise that cultural, economic, political and educational paradise that could help put them in a better place in the future. In Search of a Day in Paradise: Aztlan discusses how, in this modern era, New Mexicans can strive for the return of Aztlan New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and California by demanding a better education , voting for leaders who do not just talk but act when it comes to improving the job situation in New Mexico, and eliminating poverty. In Search of a Day in Paradise: Aztlan offers insight into how using historical data can be of influence as Hispanos seek to improve their standing in today's society. Time will tell if they will perform better educationally and politically in 2075 than they have in the past.

Book Description
In her compendious study, [of the folktale of the runaway wife] Leavy argues that the contradictory claims of nature and culture are embodied in the legendary figure of the swan maiden, a woman torn between the human and bestial worlds. --The New York Times Book Review This is a study of the meaning of gender as framed by the swan maiden tale, a story found in the folklore of virtually every culture. The swan maiden is a supernatural woman forced to marry, keep house, and bear children for a mortal man who holds the key to her imprisonment. When she manages to regain this key, she escapes to the otherworld, never to return. These tales have most often been interpreted as depicting exogamous marriages, describing the girl from another tribe trapped in a world where she will always be the outsider. Barbara Fass Leavy believes that, in the societies in which the tale and its variants endured, woman was the other--the outsider trapped in a society that could never be her own. Leavy shows how the tale, though rarely explicitly recognized, is frequently replayed in modern literature. Beautifully written, this book reveals the myriad ways in which the folktales of a society reflect its cultural values, and particularly how folktales are allegories of gender relations. It will interest anyone involved in literary, gender, and cultural studies.
