The main focus of The Palestinians in Israel (1979) is the position of the Arab minority in Israel, from being a majority to becoming a minority. By using the framework of internal colonialism, it provides evidence which highlights the social class transformations of the Palestinians in Israel from peasantry to proletariat, the patterns of land alienation, and the nature of inter-ethnic contacts which typify Israeli-Palestinian relations. It looks at Arab social structure in pre-1948 Palestine, discusses the Arabs as they appear in Israeli social science writings, describes the transformation of Arab class structure in Israel, and considers the politicization of Israeli Arabs.

"Now in its third edition, Essential Econometric Techniques: A Guide to Concepts and Applications is a concise, student-friendly textbook which provides an introductory grounding in econometrics, with an emphasis on the proper application and interpretation of results. Drawing on the author's extensive teaching experience, this book offers intuitive explanations of concepts such as heteroskedasticity and serial correlation, and provides step-by-step overviews of each key topic. This new edition contains more applications, brings in new material including a dedicated chapter on panel data techniques, and moves the theoretical proofs to appendices. After chapter seven, students will be able to design and conduct rudimentary econometric research. The next chapters cover multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation, followed by techniques for time-series analysis and panel data. Excel data sets for the end-of-chapter problems are available as a digital supplement. A solutions manual is also available for instructors, as well as PowerPoint slides for each chapter. Essential Econometric Techniques shows students how economic hypotheses can be questioned and tested using real-world data, and is the ideal supplementary text for all introductory econometrics courses. Elia Kacapyr is Professor of Economics at Ithaca College, USA"--

Este libro responde al interés que despierta la investigación literaria sobre obras escritas por mujeres, así como los análisis de personajes femeninos desde el punto de vista de su capacidad de elección como sujetos y las estrategias de resistencia con que se los dota para afrontar circunstancias adversas. La amplitud cronológica que abarcan los veinte capítulos del libro es lo suficientemente extensa para que el conjunto muestre la evolución de esta agencia femenina en el ámbito literario español e hispanoamericano.
