One of the key issues that faces Cuban policymakers today, and will
continue to face them, is what steps to take in order to ensure the
future of the sugar industry. In 2002, nearly one-half of the
country's cultivated land was occupied by the 156 fully functional
sugar mills, more than a dozen plants and refineries, and the
complex transportation infrastructure brought about by the
commerce. The loss of preferential markets for Cuban sugar that
arose from the demise of the international socialist community
constitutes a crisis that the Cuban government has only begun to
address, with a radical restructuring plan that would foresee the
reduction of sugar land and the elimination of about 100,000 jobs,
for increased economic emphasis on tourism. The radical premise of
this volume is that there is a future in the twenty-first century
for a reinvented Cuban sugar agroindustry, responsive to market
signals, organized around smaller and more agile production units,
producing raw sugar as well as high value-added outputs, and using
some of the facilities to produce ethanol and generate electricity.
The editors have asked over a dozen recognized world experts on
Cuban agroindustry to analyze specific topics and make
recommendations that would not only reinvent an industry for
effective transition to a free-market environment but that has the
potential to reinvigorate the Cuban economy, providing employment
opportunities and generating wealth for generations of Cubans to
come.

Even though Fidel Castro founded the "26 of July" movement, this
book shows that the organizing throughout Cuba fell on the
shoulders of an underground leader named Frank Pais, who was also
responsible for the survival of the incipient guerrilla force led
by Castro in the Sierra Maestra. Pais became not only the National
Chief of Action-as portrayed in the official publications-but the
top leader of the M-26-7's National Directorate. The antagonism
between Castro and Pais may have been the reason for his mysterious
death when he was only 22 years of age. This is the true story of
his life and legacy. At this crucial time, when historians are
trying to arrive at the revolution's final balance, a book like
this is essential to read before reaching an impartial verdict.
Por siglos, la doctrina de la trinidad ha sido un cimiento sobre el

dogmaticas de esta doctrina, exponiendo con evidencia biblica los
