futuro. Los cuentos de mi amigo Oscar son crisalidas que los
lectores convertiran en mariposas. El autor lanza al espacio su
libro de cuentos, divagaciones, vivencias, reflexiones, son hijos
de su experiencia, hijas de los "limos mas profundos"; van al aire,
como las saetas de Jalil Yibram. El lector sera el padre del

are included here. Many are rum based and this book gives detailed
explanations of the various types of rum used. Drinks range from
the a classic Vodka Martini to the now popular Dark and Moody.
How we pay is so fundamental that it underpins everything – from trade to taxation, stocks and savings to salaries, pensions and pocket money. Rich or poor, criminal, communist or capitalist, we all rely on the same payments system, day in, day out. It sits between us and not just economic meltdown, but a total breakdown in law and order. Why then do we know so little about how that system really works?
Leibbrandt and de Terán shine a light on the hidden workings of the humble payment – and reveal both how our payment habits are determined by history as well as where we might go next. From national customs to warring nation states, geopolitics will shape the future of payments every bit as much as technology.
Challenging our understanding about where financial power really lies, The Pay Off shows us that the most important thing about money is the way we move it.
The book analyzes the recovery process of different industries and
sectors from the global health pandemic, as well as its collateral
effects. Focusing on emerging markets, it examines the underlying
factors that have impeded recovery and how businesses in various
sectors have (or have not) responded. The chapters take both a
micro and macro approach, surveying the topic from both
organizational and national perspectives. Divided into sections on
public policy, innovation, and social responsibility, this work
explores the parameters of business and economic perspectives for
the construction of effective models to pursue an effective
recovery. It will appeal to scholars studying how business responds
in the new normal.
The extraordinary and unconventional life of a modern teenage
bohemian. 'I am Cat Balou, I am Jeanne Moreau, I am Modigliani's
lover, but not the one who threw herself out of the window...' Una
is a sixteen year old sexual fantasist. In 1989 she is a kept woman
in Paris, whose romantic ideas about the lifestyle of a mistress to
an aging record producer don't quite live up to the reality. She
searches for an affair that corresponds to her dreams, but finds
herself flitting from one romantic infatuation to another, obsessed
by the idea of sex but careful of her virginity. From her borrowed
studio in Pigalle she explores a bohemian Paris full of
unpredictable characters: her Caribbean neighbour Henri, who creeps
in naked to use her shower when she's out; her friends Ines the
stripper and Marcus, who help her scrape an existence of Burger
Kings and Gauloises. La Dolce Vita is hot on her heels, from the
pretentious prince who woos her to the transvestite prostitute who
chases her. As Una drifts through a year in her life, she is
carried from Paris to a wintry Prague on the verge of revolution,
to her rambling family home in rural Italy and to a shocking
pre-honeymoon in Brazil. Una's voyage is a rite of passage from
girlhood to womanhood. Like most journeys, it involves danger and
discovery. Dolce Vita, with its cocktail of fantasy, innocence and
worldliness, introduces a strong and unusual new voice in British
fiction.
The First Amendment to the Constitution, assuring freedom of
speech and freedom of the press, was ratified nearly 200 years ago.
Since that time, the amendment has maintained its tradition off
freedom while accomodating the introduction of technologies that
the framers of the Constitution could not have envisioned,
including the telephone, radio and television, and the
communications satellite. Recent dramatic technological advances in
communications, however, will subject the First Amendment to
stresses exceeding anything in its past history. "The First
Amendment--The Challenge of New Technology" is a collection of
papers by leaders in the communications field examining the
flexibility of the First Amendment in coping with the miracles of
modern communications technology.
The outcome of the San Diego Communications Council Conference
on August 30, 1987, this book includes the contributions of a broad
mix of talents and experiences: practitioners in newspaper,
magazines, broadcasting and cable; regulators and lawmakers,
communications theorists and educators. The contributors study a
wide range of First Amendment issues, including the rights of the
media, national security, and the rights to privacy. Students,
scholars, and practitioners of communications or constitutional
law, as well as policymakers or anyone interested in the future of
freedom of speech will find "The First Amendment -- The Challenge
of New Technology" an invaluable resource.
How we pay is so fundamental that it underpins everything - from
trade to taxation, stocks and savings to salaries, pensions and
pocket money. Rich or poor, criminal, communist or capitalist, we
all rely on the same payments system, day in, day out. It sits
between us and not just economic meltdown, but a total breakdown in
law and order. Why then do we know so little about how it really
works?; As you read this, technology is dismantling payment
barriers and governments are erecting them; cash is on the way out,
and crypto and BigTech are fighting their way in. The Europeans are
heavily regulated, the Americans oddly backward, and the Chinese
hoping to lead the way forward. Challenging our understanding about
where financial power really lies, The Pay Off shows us that the
most important thing about money is the way we move it.; Leibbrandt
and De Teran shine a light on the hidden workings of the humble
payment - and reveal both how our payment habits are determined by
history as well as where we go from here. From national customs to
warring nation states, geopolitics will shape the future of
payments every bit as much as technology.
God is a Bullet is the cult classic back in print and soon to be a
major motion picture starring Jamie Foxx, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and
January Jones. During Christmas week in 1995, a fourteen-year-old
girl is kidnapped by a bloodthirsty satanic cult. Bob Hightower,
the girl's father and a small-town cop, embarks on a desperate
mission to find her, but his only hope lies with Case Hardin, an
ex-cult member and ex-junkie living in a half-way house in
Hollywood. Their quest - his to find his child, hers to exorcise
her demons - becomes a primal hunt-and-chase through a savage
subculture of drugs and ritualistic violence . . . 'Not for those
of a nervous disposition' - Daily Telegraph 'A rollercoaster of an
experience' - Guardian 'The new voice of pulp fiction' - Dennis
Lehane 'A kick-ass, in-your-face tour de force' - Harlan Coben 'An
absolutely stupendous debut novel' - Mark Timlin, Independent
Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of Pragmatism, was convinced
that metaphysics is not just of primary importance to philosophy,
but that it serves as the basis of all sciences. From Realism to
'Realicism' is a unique critical study of Peirce's metaphysics, and
his repeated insistence on the realism of the medieval schoolman as
the key to understanding his own system. By tracing the problem of
universals beginning with its Greek roots, Rosa Maria Perez-Teran
Mayorga provides the necessary yet underrepresented background of
moderate realism and Peirce's eventual revision of metaphysics.
This book examines Peirce's definition of the 'real, ' his
synechism, his idealism, and his 'pragmaticism, ' which are all
related to his sense of realism. With strong analyses and
references to Plato, Aristotle, and John Duns Scotus, a Franciscan
monk known as a major proponent of scholastic realism, From Realism
to 'Realicism' is an insightful and intriguing book that will
stimulate the minds of fellow philosophers and those interested in
