War affects life writing and lives affect war writing. The traditional forms of life writing - memoir, biography, letters, diaries - buckle under the strain of war. War writing has fewer traditional forms but exists at a similar extreme. The eight chapters in this book, written by leading and up-and-coming scholars in the field, illuminate the creative innovations, improvisations, and implosions which happen when the demands of writing war and writing lives collide. Central to all is the question of authenticity: how can wars and lives be known and who can speak of them with authority? This volume has a generous chronological and generic range, beginning in the early 1800s and stretching to twenty-first-century texts, and covering letters, diaries, fiction, 'fakeries', poetry, biography, testimony, songs, objects, and digital media. The mix of authors is similarly varied: Thomas Hardy, W. H. Auden and Elizabeth Bowen rub shoulders with Yousif M. Qasmiyeh (a contemporary Palestinian poet), Farah Baker (a Gazan teenager) and the writers behind the pen names Araki Yasusada and Jiri Kajane. This book was originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice.

Those who care for the ailing, whether helping someone recover, grapple with a long-term disability, or face a terminal illness, often feel alone, overwhelmed, exhausted. William and Nancy Martin have worked as counselors, hospice trainers, and Zen guides -- and as caregivers themselves. With empathy and insight, they offer readers solace drawn from the eternal wisdom of the "Tao Te Ching."
Like the original Chinese text, this book contains eighty-one chapters. Each chapter includes a poem for caregivers, evocative of the verses of the "Tao Te Ching," followed by a reflection that presents practical guidance for navigating the emotional and physical hardships of caregiving. The resulting resource gently awakens readers to the grace, growth, and even joy possible at each step along their path.

El proposito del presente trabajo fue proponer un modelo tectonico que permitiera caracterizar la genesis del Grupo Choiyoi. Para eso se realizaron estudios petrograficos, geoquimicos y estructurales, que lograron sentar las bases para sustentar el modelo geodinamico propuesto. La zona elegida para la realizacion del presente estudio, se situa en los alrededores de la localidad de Potrerillos, sector noreste del cordon del Plata, Cordillera Frontal de Mendoza.

Pero marcados por un contexto de explotacion y asalaramiento disfrazado. Este estudio tiene como finalidad rescatar la experiencia de estas mujeres como creadoras de opciones laborales en situaciones de vulnerabilidad."
