Abelardo de Carlos. El editor ilustrado
Abelardo de Carlos y Almansa transformó el periodismo español. Nacido en Cádiz en 1822, huérfano de padre, fue un hombre hecho a sí mismo. Tras trabajar como dependiente en una librería, abrió la suya propia, dirigió la Imprenta de la Revista Médica, la más importante de Cádiz, y adquirió un pequeño periódico local al que transformó en La Moda Elegante Ilustrada que fue la revista femenina de referencia en España en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y principios del XX.

Pepita Jimenez: A Novel by Juan Valera
Juan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano (1824-1905), one of 19th-century Spain's most well known authors, had a career in the diplomatic service with postings in Europe and the Americas. A serious student of his own and foreign literatures, Valera wrote novels, short stories, essays and literary criticism.

Like "kitsch," cursi evokes the idea of bad taste, but it also suggests one who has pretensions of refinement and elegance without possessing them.

Heads of State and Government
Macmillan published the first edition of this text in 1985. It is a detailed reference to world leaders, monarchs, presidents and their equivalents, executive leaders plus other positions with authority vested in them; heads of ruling communist parties, military junta heads and some leaders with no formal post, but who wield supreme authority. This text is a reference to leaders, past and present, of the countries of the world. The second edition updates the first and includes the far reaching political changes which have taken place in Eastern Europe and the emergence of new states. The scope of the book has been broadened to include more international organisations, more regional government leaders, more governments in exile and colonial governors of the twentieth century.
