Organized around single country studies embedded in key historical
moments, this book introduces students to the shifting and varied
guerrilla history of Latin America from the late 1950s to the
present. It brings together academics and those directly involved
in aspects of the guerrilla movement, to understand each country's
experience with guerrilla warfare and revolutionary activism. The
book is divided in four thematic parts after two opening chapters
that analyze the tradition of military involvement in Latin
American politics and the parallel tradition of insurgency and coup
effort against dictatorship. The first two parts examine active
guerrilla movements in the 1960s and 1970s with case studies
including Bolivia, Nicaragua, Peru, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.
Part 3 is dedicated to the Central American Civil Wars of the 1980s
and 1990s in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. Part 4 examines
specific guerrilla movements which require special attention.
Chapters include Colombia's complicated guerrilla scenery; the
rivalling Shining Path and Tupac Amaru guerrillas in Peru; small
guerrilla movements in Mexico which were never completely
documented; and transnational guerrilla operations in the Southern
Cone. The concluding chapter presents a balance of the entire Latin
American guerrilla at present. Superbly accessible, while retaining
the complexity of Latin American politics, Latin American Guerrilla
Movements represents the best historical account of revolutionary
movements in the region, which students will find of great use
owing to its coverage and insights.
Electrochemical Water Treatment Methods provides the fundamentals
and applications of electrochemical water treatment methods to
treat industrial effluents. Sections provide an overview of the
technology, its current state of development, and how it is making
its way into industry applications. Other sections deal with
historical developments and the fundamentals of 18 methods,
including coupled methods, such as Electrocoagulation,
Peroxi-Coagulation and Electro-Fenton treatments. In addition,
users will find discussions that relate to industries such as Pulp
and Paper, Pharmaceuticals, Textiles, and Urban/Domestic
wastewater, amongst others. Final sections present advantages,
disadvantages and ways to combine renewable energy sources and
electrochemical methods to design sustainable facilities.
Environmental and Chemical Engineers will benefit from the
extensive collection of methods and industry focused application
cases, but researchers in environmental chemistry will also find
interesting examples on how methods can be transitioned from lab
environments to practical applications.

Leading figures and rising stars in the field present the first
contribution explaining the transnational nature of the
revolutionary violence of the New Left. Focusing on the processes
of dissemination of ideologies and mobilization of ideas and
repertoires of action among the revolutionary organizations of the
New Left in Latin America, Europe, and the United States, this book
contributes to our understanding of the dynamics of the New Left
wave and, at the same time, helps explain the "why" of the
emergence of very similar armed leftist groups in vastly different
geographical and political contexts.
Molecular Biology of B Cells, Third Edition provides a
comprehensive reference on how B cells are generated, selected,
activated, and engaged in antibody production. These developmental
and stimulatory processes are described in molecular,
immunological, and genetic terms to give a clear understanding of
complex phenotypes. The book offers an integrated view of B cells
to produce a normal immune response as a constant, and the
molecular basis of numerous diseases due to B cell abnormality.
This new edition provides updated research on B cell development
and function, the use of therapeutic antibodies in cancer and
infectious disease, and more. With updated research and continued
comprehensive coverage of all aspects of B cell biology, Molecular
Biology of B Cells, this updated release is a definitive resource,
vital for researchers across molecular biology, immunology, and
genetics.

Costa Banderas, a 300-hectare property located on the northern
shore of Banderas Bay on the Mexican Pacific coast, is to be
developed for tourism. Its 8-kilometer coastline is composed of
three long beaches and several narrow pocket beaches that are
separated by protruding cliffs and rock outcroppings. Freshwater
runoff is present at seven locations along the coast of Costa
Banderas through streams that vary in magnitude. Sediment samples
collected along the profile lines were analyzed for calcium
carbonate content and grain size distribution. These parameters
show a pronounced variation in the long-shore direction but not in
the cross-shore direction. Streams and cliffs in Costa Banderas
were sampled to determine the possible origin of the clastic
portion of the beach sand. A Distribution Component Analysis (DCA)
was carried out on the beach and stream samples. Relatively good
alignment of the normal components of stream and adjacent beach
samples is found for the three larger streams. This emphasizes the
importance of these streams as sediment sources. A conceptual
solution to attenuate Sea conditions by means of a submerged
breakwater is presented.
This volume showcases new research on the global reach of Latin
American revolutionary movements during the height of the Cold War,
mapping out the region's little-known connections with Africa,
Asia, and Europe. Toward a Global History of Latin America's
Revolutionary Left offers insights into the effect of international
collaboration on the identities, ideologies, strategies, and
survival of organizers and groups.Featuring contributions from
historians working in six different countries, this collection
includes chapters on Cuba's hosting of the 1966 Tricontinental
Conference that brought revolutionary movements together;
Czechoslovakian intelligence's logistical support for
revolutionaries; the Brazilian Left's search for recognition in
Cuba and China; the central role played by European publishing
houses in disseminating news from Latin America; Italian support
for Brazilian guerrillainsurgents; Spanish ties with Nicaragua's
revolution; and the solidarity of European networks with
Guatemala's Guerrilla Army of the Poor. Through its expansive
geographical perspectives, this volume positions Latin America as a
significant force on the international stage of the 1960s and 70s.
It sets a new research agenda that will guide future study on
leftist movements, transnational networks, and Cold War history in
the region.
