En "La dimensión feliz y otros destinos para navegar" Adrián Mateos nos lleva a un viaje de autodescubrimiento expuesto en varias anécdotas, siendo la más importante de ellas, "La Dimensión Feliz", novela que nos narra la historia de un hombre que encuentra a un guía de otra dimensión, quien lo guiará a través de todas sus vidas para encontrar la felicidad y la libertad, en una aventura que abarcara todas las posibilidades de sus vidas como ser humano. El autor nos llevará de la mano por una serie de narraciones sobre liberación, desapego y felicidad, invitándonos a la reflexión y a la alegría del vivir, siempre con la premisa de que "Una vez que se suban al barco, ya no querrán dejar de navegar".

From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries.

In the wake of European expansion, disease outbreaks in the New World caused the greatest loss of life known to history. Post-contact Native American inhabitants succumbed in staggering numbers to maladies such as smallpox, measles, influenza, and typhus, against which they had no immunity. A collection of case studies by historians, geographers, and anthropologists, "Secret Judgments of God" discusses how diseases with Old World origins devastated vulnerable native populations throughout Spanish America. In their preface to the paperback edition, the editors discuss the ongoing, often heated debate about contact population history.
