L'històric director del diari La Tribuna, Joan Vidal, apareix degollat i amb brutals signes de tortura en el maleter d'un cotxe estimbat. Aquest serà el primer d'una sèrie d'assassinats que escapçaran la cúpula directiva del diari català de referència i que persegueixen destapar un escàndol que, de veure la llum pública, canviaria per sempre la relació entre el poder i els mitjans de comunicació. Ernesto Makaroff, un hàbil periodista ressentit amb La Tribuna, i la sergent Bruna Cros investigaran contrarellotge per desemmascarar un entramat de xantatges, silencis i morts que oculten les cares més fosques del poder i del periodisme.

Una saga romántica histórica repleta de amor y sentimientos. Si te gustó los Bridgerton, no puedes dejar de leer los…
Greenwod. Libro 1: Te odio con todo mi amor:«Cómo encajar en un mundo al que no perteneces, cómo asumir que lo que más odias es aquello que no puedes evitar amarObstinada, rebelde, irreverente, incontrolable. Esos eran algunos de los adjetivos con los que, Andrew Greenwood, el estricto y comedido conde de Hardwick definía a Marian Miller, o «Demonio Miller», como solían llamarla. Andrew había tenido que asumir la responsabilidad de su título y su familia demasiado pronto y no permitiría que nada ni nadie se interpusiera en su camino, pero todo se complica cuando Andrew y Marian descubren que el amor y la atracción que los une son casi tan potentes como la animadversión que los separa. Libro 2: Secretos compartidos:«¿Hasta dónde serias capaz de llegar por lealtad? ¿Serías capaz de renunciar a tu felicidad, a tu destino, al amor, y vencer tus propios miedos?». Maysie Sheldon tenía un secreto: había amado. Había amado con el alma, con esa inocencia conmovedora que impulsa a las jóvenes ingenuas a escaparse del dulce cobijo de sus sábanas en mitad de la noche para refugiarse en unos brazos cálidos, para robarle un minuto al tiempo, para arrancarle unos segundos al destino... Maysie Sheldon guardaba un gran secreto y su hermana Elisabeth compartía gustosa aquel peso. Libro 3: Todos tus besos:«¿Puede un beso ser mucho más que un beso? hay besos imposibles de olvidar, besos capaces de cambiar el curso de una vida... ».Thomas Sheperd ha luchado con ahínco durante toda su vida para labrarse un exitoso futuro, tratando de ignorar que es el hijo bastardo de uno de los duques más importantes de Inglaterra. Lo único que Thomas sabe del amor es que es capaz de destruir aquello que toca. En cambio, la bella e incomparable Caroline Greenwood está impaciente por encontrar el amor, el romanticismo, y todos esos besos con los que sueña.Un hombre que no cree en el amor y una mujer que sueña con él… Libro 4: Cicatrices en el alma:«Ella oculta las cicatrices de su rostro, él pretende esconder las de su alma atormentada rodeándose de oscuridad». Vincent Rhys había convertido la depravación en un arte. No era generoso ni humilde, y la mayoría de las veces ni siquiera era amable, a no ser que fuera en su propio beneficio. Alcohol, mujeres, peleas, juego… Cualquier vicio era aceptable si con ello conseguía adormecer unos instantes los fantasmas que lo asediaban. Vicent Rhys poseía la bella apariencia de un ángel y un alma llena de cicatrices, tan oscura como la del mismísimo diablo. Pero su pacífica existencia da un giro radical cuando un libertino de la peor calaña y un atrevido libro se cruzan en su camino.Espiritualidade para Todos

Par David Grossman. 2007
Seis ensayos fundamentales de la obra de Grossman. Escribir en la oscuridad reúne seis ensayos en los que Grossman analiza…
con maestría y lucidez extraordinaria algunos de los temas centrales en su producción artística: las voces literarias que han ayudado a construir su obra, el Holocausto, la creación del Estado de Israel o los problemas derivados del mismo como marco de sus creaciones; el conflicto en Oriente Próximo y los devastadores efectos que provoca en la sociedad israelí, sometida a un consenso interior asfixiante, así como la incertidumbre acerca del futuro que ilustra el fracaso mayúsculo de un estado surgido precisamente para garantizarlo. Desde una perspectiva humanista, Grossman reivindica que la verdadera literatura se halla irremediablemente vinculada a la política que configura nuestras vidas, y nos ofrece las claves fundamentales para comprender su obra: un retrato extraordinario de las fuentes de la creación y un magnífico alegato en defensa de la paz en Oriente Próximo.

Par Andy McNab. 2014
THE ELECTRIC TOM BUCKINGHAM SERIES TURNED INTO MAJOR MOTION PICTURE CONTINUES WITH SAS: STATE OF EMERGENCYOn a freezing winter's night,…
a small craft skims the Thames towards London's most exclusive riverside hotel. On board is a lone assassin, his target—Britain's most powerful new politician.In a nation threatened by extremists, billionaire businessman Vernon Rolt's plans for a zero-tolerance crackdown have touched a popular nerve.MI5 operative Tom Buckingham is undercover inside Rolt's organisation, from where he must neutralize the rogue assassins out to kill his boss.All too soon, Tom gets caught up in a far more devastating plot that will change the political landscape of Europe, forever..._____________________________________________________________What people are saying about SAS: State of Emergency:????? "Another action packed story which is , if at all possible, even better than the first two."????? "Totally gripping from start to finish... another excellent book from Andy McNab- thrills and action with surprises all the way through the book."????? "Don't plan on getting anything else done once you start reading this, the third of Andy McNab's novels starring Tom Buckingham! Good job tying up the threads left from SAS: Fortress."Durable authoritarian rule often rests on the co-optation of challengers. The conventional story is straightforward: rulers entice opposition groups to…
“sell out,” offering them benefits if they set aside their antiauthoritarian aspirations and become part of the system. However, co-optation does not always neutralize former adversaries, and even seemingly domesticated opponents can turn on their rulers. Co-optation does weaken opposition—but it is not as simple, reliable, or transactional as existing theories claim.Shouting in a Cage offers new ways to understand co-optation’s power and its limits by examining two co-opted parties, the Wafd Party in Egypt and the Istiqlal Party in Morocco. Sofia Fenner argues that co-optation is less a corrupt bargain than a discursive contest—a clash of competing interpretations. Co-opted parties conjure up imagined futures in which their short-term choices will lead to the realization of their long-term democratic goals. Meanwhile, other actors point to the disconnect between these parties’ antiauthoritarian aspirations and their participation in authoritarian systems. Fenner demonstrates that co-opted parties come to look hypocritical precisely because they refuse to give up their oppositional commitments. Their credibility sapped, they become unappealing allies and, eventually, political afterthoughts. However, such parties retain a surprising capacity for opposition, rooted in the literal and metaphorical idea of “party as family.” Based on extensive archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in North Africa, Shouting in a Cage broadens our understanding of political behavior under authoritarianism.The Routledge International Handbook of Disability Human Rights Hierarchies (Routledge International Handbooks)
Par Stephen J. Meyers, Megan McCloskey, Gabor Petri. 2024
Disability is defined by hierarchy. Regardless of culture or context, persons with disabilities are almost always pushed to the bottom…
of the social hierarchy. With the advent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), disability human rights seemingly provided a path forward for tearing down ableist social hierarchies and ensuring that all persons with disabilities everywhere were treated equally. Despite important progress, the disability human rights project not only remains incomplete, but has often created new hierarchies among persons with disabilities themselves or across the human rights it promotes. Certain groups of persons with disabilities have gained new voices while others remain silenced and certain rights are prioritized over others depending on what states, international organizations, or advocates want rather than what those on the ground need most. This volume was inspired both by the continued need to expose human rights violations against persons with disabilities, but to also explore the nuanced role that hierarchies play in the spread, implementation, and protection of disability human rights. The enjoyment of human rights is not equal nor is the recognition of specific individuals and groups’ rights. In order to change this situation, inequalities across the disability human rights movement must be explored. Divided into five parts: Who counts as disabled? Political, social, and cultural context Which rights on top, whose rights on bottom? Pushed to the periphery in the disability rights movement Representations of disability and comprised of 34 newly-written chapters including case-studies from the Anglophone Caribbean, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, China, Ghana, Haiti, Hungary, India, Israel, Kenya, Latin America, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Serbia and South Africa, and other countries, this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, human rights law and social policy.Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19 (Comparative Policy Evaluation)
Par Ray C. Rist, Pearl Eliadis, Indran A. Naidoo. 2023
Did evaluation meet the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis? How were evaluation practices, architectures, and values affected? Policy Evaluation in…
the Era of COVID-19 is the first to offer a broad canvas that explores government responses and ideas to tackle the challenges that evaluation practice faces in preparing for the next global crisis. Practitioners and established academic experts in the field of policy evaluation present a sophisticated synthesis of institutional, national, and disciplinary perspectives, with insights drawn from developments in Australia, Canada and the UK, as well as the UN. Contributors examine the impacts of evaluation on socioeconomic recovery planning, government innovations in pivoting internal operations to address the crisis, and the role of parliamentary and audit institutions during the pandemic. Chapters also example the Sustainable Development Goals, and the inadequacy of human rights-based approaches in evaluation, while examining the imperative proposed by some authors that it is time that we take seriously the call for substantial transformation. Written in a clear and accessible style, Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19 offers a much-needed insight on the role evaluation played during this unique and critical juncture in history.The Routledge Handbook of Privacy and Social Media (Routledge Handbooks in Communication Studies)

This volume provides the basis for contemporary privacy and social media research and informs global as well as local initiatives…
to address issues related to social media privacy through research, policymaking, and education. Renowned scholars in the fields of communication, psychology, philosophy, informatics, and law look back on the last decade of privacy research and project how the topic will develop in the next decade. The text begins with an overview of key scholarship in online privacy, expands to focus on influential factors shaping privacy perceptions and behaviors – such as culture, gender, and trust – and continues with specific examinations of concerns around vulnerable populations such as children and older adults. It then looks at how privacy is managed and the implications of interacting with artificial intelligence, concluding by discussing feasible solutions to some of the more pressing questions surrounding online privacy. This handbook will be a valuable resource for advanced students, scholars, and policymakers in the fields of communication studies, digital media studies, psychology, and computer science. Chapter 22 and Chapter 30 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.The book presents the most relevant research of the participants of the VII International Conference of Young Scientists "Complex Investigation…
of the World Ocean" (CIWO-2023). This conference was held at Saint Petersburg State University in May 15-19, 2023 (Saint Petersburg, Russia). It covers a wide range of fundamental and applied marine and limnology studies combined in eight sections: Ocean Physics, Ocean Biology, Ocean Chemistry, Marine Geology, Marine Geophysics, Marine Ecology and Environmental Management, Physical and Biological interactions (interdisciplinary section), Oceanological Technology and Instrumentation. The aim of this book is to show the relevance of the marine research due to the crucial role of the World Ocean in determining climate change on Earth, huge resources (fish resources, oil, gas and ore deposits, etc.) and intensive development of infrastructure in coastal and offshore zones. All these topics were marked within the framework of realization of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). The studies presented in the book covers the wide spectrum of different the most important marine and limnology issues: thermohaline structure of water body and interactions between ocean and atmosphere, dynamic of the ocean, marine ice in polar regions, biodiversity of the marine ecosystems, adaptation of marine life to climate changes, geological and geophysical investigations in oil and gas regions, sedimentation, paleooceanology and biostratigraphy, hydrochemistry of estuary regions and carbon fluxes, microplastic pollution of the ocean, eutrophication and etc.Cybercrime and Challenges in South Africa
