El origen de los otros
By Toni Morrison. 2017
La visión de la gran Toni Morrison, Premio Nobel de Literatura, sobre la vida y la identidad racial. ¿Qué es…
la raza y por qué es importante? ¿Qué motiva la tendencia humana a construir Otros? ¿Por qué la presencia de esos Otros nos asusta tanto? Basándose en sus Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison aborda estas y otras cuestiones que dominan cada vez más la política mundial: la raza, el miedo, las fronteras, los movimientos de masas, el deseo de pertenencia... En su búsqueda de respuestas, la novelista revisa cuidadosamente sus propios recuerdos, así como la historia, la política y, especialmente, la literatura, examinando autores como Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway y William Faulkner. A través de ellos analiza las nociones de pureza racial, el origen de la raza negra como una herramienta para definir una sociedad inmigrante con una gran variedad de procedencias y costumbres, o las formas en que la literatura emplea el color de la piel para definir a los personajes o conducir la narrativa. Con un prólogo del ganador del National Book Award, Ta-Nehisi Coates. La crítica ha dicho sobre el libro...«El origen de los otros no es un libro sobre las diferencias raciales (al fin y al cabo, como señala Morrison, solo hay una raza humana) sino sobre las posibilidades y responsabilidades de la literatura. Tras leerlo, lo que perdura en nuestras mentes son las audaces y delicadas yuxtaposiciones literarias de la autora.»Lidija Haas, The Guardian «El origen de los otros está lleno de sabios argumentos, que se vuelven aún más persuasivos por la prosa elegante y su rechazo hacia aquel imaginario sobre la otredad de la que todos somos infelices herederos. Leer este inteligente, inquisitivo e inspirador libro es familiarizarse con una autora enemiga de esa herencia y una amiga vital del proyecto humano.»Matthew Adams, The National «Unos ensayos ricamente adornados con anécdotas y recuerdos, pero profundamente basados en el análisis literario... El origen de los otros es políticamente profético.»Beejay Silcox, The Australian «La laureada premio Nobel teje en este libro memorias e historia a través de un mordaz análisis literario, y nos ofrece reflexiones sensibles sobre la configuración de la alteridad... Tan nítida como cabría de esperar de tan aclamada autora.»Kirkus Reviews «Morrison ha encontrado una voz y un estilo puro y directo, [...] ha desvelado las formas en las que la violencia se trenza con la pasión para redimir un pasado que vuelve y duele.»Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times «Un delicioso ensayo que nos muestra lo que no nos cuentan otros manuales. Morrison vuelve a sorprender con su facilidad para hacer llegar su discurso racista en los barrios obreros y para conseguir aglutinar a gente diferente bajo un mismo miedo: los demás.»Álvaro Muñoz, Llegir en cas d'incendi Y sobre la autora...«Toni Morrison se ha convertido en la D.H. Lawrence de la psique negra, transformando individuos en fuerzas, idiosincrasias en inevitabilidad.»New York Magazine «Toni Morrison es una de las más grandes estudiosas de los conceptos de raza e identidad [...]. Su trabajo es transformador, estimulante, angustiante. Y urgentemente necesario.»Matthew Adams, The National «Basta con leer los periódicos para entender que la obra de Morrison es tan necesaria y revolucionaria ahora como lo fue al final de la era de los Derechos Civiles cuando empezó a escribir.»John Freeman, Letras Libres «Leer la obra de Toni Morrison es una experiencia poderosa; sus libros están llenos de fuerza, de indignación, de violencia.»Ana María Ferreira, Razonpublica.com
Textbook of Ion Channels Volume I: Fundamental Mechanisms and Methodologies
By Jie Zheng Matthew C. Trudeau. 2023
The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes providing a wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for…
students, instructors and researchers. Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells; mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light, sound, odor, and taste; and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excitable tissues, ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells, giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment, as well as the membrane of intracellular organelles, allowing them to regulate internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for human health and diseases, and are important targets for pharmaceuticals in mental illness, heart disease, anesthesia, pain and other clinical applications. The modern methods used in their study are powerful and diverse, ranging from single ion-channel measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in animals, and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs. Volume I, Part 1 covers fundamental topics such as the basic principles of ion permeation and selectivity, voltage-dependent, ligand-dependent, and mechano-dependent ion channel activation mechanisms, the mechanisms for ion channel desensitization and inactivation, and basic ion channel pharmacology and inhibition. Volume I, Part 2 offers a practical guide of cardinal methods for researching ion channels, including heterologous expression and voltage-clamp and patch-clamp electrophysiology; isolation of native currents using patch clamping; modeling ion channel gating, structures, and its dynamics; crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy; fluorescence and paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy methods; and genetics approaches in model organisms. All three volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels; a guide to the technical aspects of ion channel research; a modern guide to the properties of major ion channel families; and includes coverage of key examples of regulatory, physiological and disease roles for ion channels.

Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington
By James Kirchick. 2022
FOR DECADES, the specter of homosexuality haunted Washington. The mere suggestion that a person might be gay destroyed reputations, ended…
careers, and ruined lives. At the height of the Cold War, fear of homosexuality became intertwined with the growing threat of international communism, leading to a purge of gays and lesbians from the federal government. In the fevered atmosphere of political Washington, the secret "too loathsome to mention" held enormous, terrifying power. Utilizing thousands of pages of declassified documents, interviews with more than one hundred people, and material unearthed from presidential libraries and archives across the country, Secret City is a chronicle of American politics like no other. Beginning with the tragic story of Sumner Welles, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's brilliant diplomatic advisor and the man at the center of "the greatest national scandal since the existence of the United States," James Kirchick illuminates how homosexuality shaped each successive presidential administration through to the end of the twentieth century. Cultural and political anxiety over gay people sparked a decades-long witch hunt, impacting everything from the rivalry between the CIA and the FBI to the ascent of Joseph McCarthy, the struggle for Black civil rights, and the rise of the conservative movement. Among other revelations, Kirchick tells of the World War II-era gay spymaster who pioneered seduction as a tool of American espionage, the devoted aide whom Lyndon Johnson treated as a son yet abandoned once his homosexuality was discovered, and how allegations of a "homosexual ring" controlling Ronald Reagan nearly derailed his 1980 election victory. Magisterial in scope and intimate in detail, Secret City will forever transform our understanding of American history. JAMES KIRCHICK has written about human rights, politics, and culture from around the world. A columnist for Tablet magazine, a contributing writer to Air Mail, and a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, he is the author of The End of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age. Kirchick's work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, the New York Review of Books, and the Times Literary Supplement. A graduate of Yale with degrees in history and political science, he resides in Washington, DC.
