THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER "This riveting, courageous memoir ought to be mandatory reading for every American." -Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow "l cried reading this book, realizing more fully what my parents endured." -Amy Tan, New York Times bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and Where the Past Begins "This book couldn't be more timely and more necessary." -Dave Eggers, New York Times bestselling author of What Is the What and The Monk of Mokha Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, called "the most famous undocumented immigrant in America," tackles one of the defining issues of our time in this explosive and deeply personal call to arms. "This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book--at its core--is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unsettled, unmoored psychological state that undocumented immigrants like myself find ourselves in. This book is about lying and being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to make new ones when you can't. This book is about constantly hiding from the government and, in the process, hiding from ourselves. This book is about what it means to not have a home. After 25 years of living illegally in a country that does not consider me one of its own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom." -Jose Antonio Vargas, from Dear America

It is widely recognized that the degree of development of a science is given by the transition from a mainly descriptive stage to a more quantitative stage. In this transition, qualitative interpretations (conceptual models) are complemented with quantification (numerical models, both, deterministic and stochastic). This has been the main task of mathematical geoscientists during the last forty years - to establish new frontiers and new challenges in the study and understanding of the natural world. Mathematics of Planet Earth comprises the proceedings of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences Conference (IAMG2013), held in Madrid from September 2-6, 2013. The Conference addresses researchers, professionals and students. The proceedings contain more than 150 original contributions and give a multidisciplinary vision of mathematical geosciences.

"My world seems upside down. I have grown up but I feel like I'm moving backward. And I can't do anything about it." (Esperanza). Over two million of the nation's eleven million undocumented immigrants have lived in the United States since childhood. Due to a broken immigration system, they grow up to uncertain futures. In Lives in Limbo, Roberto G. Gonzales introduces us to two groups: the college-goers, like Ricardo, who had good grades and a strong network of community support that propelled him to college and Dream Act organizing but still landed in a factory job a few short years after graduation, and the early-exiters, like Gabriel, who failed to make meaningful connections in high school and started navigating dead-end jobs, immigration checkpoints, and a world narrowly circumscribed by legal limitations. This vivid ethnography explores why highly educated undocumented youth share similar work and life outcomes with their less-educated peers, despite the fact that higher education is touted as the path to integration and success in America. Mining the results of an extraordinary twelve-year study that followed 150 undocumented young adults in Los Angeles, Lives in Limbo exposes the failures of a system that integrates children into K-12 schools but ultimately denies them the rewards of their labor.

Sequel to the hugely successful 1996 spin-off of the popular Sixties espionage series. Impossible Missions Force's Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is charged with tracking down renegade fellow agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), who has stolen the only known supply of Bellophron - the antidote to man-made virus Chimera. Ethan enlists the help of Ambrose's ex-girlfriend, Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton), and although the pair have fallen in love, Nyah agrees to return to Ambrose in order to gain information. However, Ambrose now intends to trigger off an epidemic of Chimera in order to sell Bellophron to the highest bidder, and when he becomes suspicious of Nyah decides to use her as a guinea pig.

Fascinante y valiente. Este libro de memorias debe ser lectura obligatoria para todos. --Michelle Alexander, autora de The New Jim Crow, bestseller de The New York Times. Llore leyendo este libro, comprendi plenamente lo que mis padres tuvieron que aguantar. --Amy Tan, autora de Club de la Buena Estrella, bestseller de The New York Times "Este libro no puede ser mas relevante y necesario." --Dave Eggers, autor de El Circulo Periodista Jose Antonio Vargas, el ganador del Premio Pulitzer conocido como "el inmigrante indocumentado mas famoso de los Estados Unidos," aborda una de las cuestiones que definen nuestro tiempo en esto libro explosiva y profundamente personal llamada a las armas. Natural de Filipinas, Vargas fue llevado ilegalmente a los Estados Unidos cuando tenia 12 anos. Durante mas de dos decadas, vivio oculto de todos, logrando escribir para algunos de las publicaciones mas prestigiosas de EE. UU., como The Washington Post y The New Yorker. Pero en 2011, Vargas revelo publicamente su estatus de indocumentado, arriesgando su carrera y seguridad personal. Desde entonces, Vargas ha cuestionado la que significa de ser estadounidense y dedica su vida a dar voz a los inmigrantes y defender sus derechos, no solamente en EE. UU sino tambien en el mundo entero. Querida America: Notas de un ciudadano indocumentado no es un libro sobre la politica de inmigracion. Es una defensa intima y apasionada de ciudadania y el sentido de pertenencia. "Despues de 25 anos viviendo ilegalmente en un pais que no me considero uno de los suyos, este libro es lo mas cercano a libertad que tengo." --Jose Antonio Vargas, Querida America
