|  | El Ano Que Viene Estamos en Cuba by Gustavo P. Firmat
Una jornada de treinta anos en busca de un hogar y una identidad culminan en la vibrante cronica de Gustavo Perez-Firmat El ano que viene estamos en Cuba . Atrapado entra la cultura de la Pequena Habana y la del panorama norteamericano, el joven Perez Firmat se balancea a horeajadas entre mundos, tratando de reconciliar sus raices cubanas con las tradiciones de su hogar adoptivo. Su busqueda durante tres decadas lo llevan de un acto precario de balaceo entre dos culturas, dos lenguas, dos naciones, a una fusion de persona y lugar , una aceptacion de su dualidad y sus implicaciones. Exilado en los Estados Unidos a la edad de once anos, Perez Firmat y su familia huyen del regimen comunista con la absoluta creencia de que Castro seria prontamente derrocado. Solo pasarian unas semanas y su mundo volveria a la normalidad y la calma. Aun cuando las semanas se fueron convertiendo en meses, y los meses en anos, sus esperanzas nunca menguaron. Al pasar los anos, las familias de la Pequena Habana se reunian para despedir el ano con un brindis: El ano que viene estamos en Cuba . AUTHOR: Gustavo P. Firmat

 | The Environmental Implications of Population Dynamics by Lori M. Hunter, Labor and Population Program Staff, Population Matters Project Staff
The globe is now inhabited by 6 billion people, twice as many as in 1960. Understanding the effects this population growth has on the environment will be paramount in developing policies that will mitigate the negative environmental effects. This report discusses the relationship between population and environmental change, the forces that mediate this relationship, and how population dynamics specifically affect climate change and land-use change. The author outlines both sides of the policy debate that have emerged--those who would limit fertility and population growth in the developing world and those who call for reduced consumption in the developed world. She concludes by calling for policymakers to pay increased attention to the role of population and forsake the search for one-step solutions to environmental problems. AUTHOR: Lori M.
