Poesía contra la discriminación para celebrar el amor y la belleza. Alberto Ramos tenía solo 15 años cuando decidió meter en una maleta su esperanza y voluntad, abandonar Málaga y establecerse en Estocolmo, buscando una nueva vida. Y realizar su sueño de estudiar en el extranjero su bachillerato internacional. El instituto está situado en Södertälje, un peculiar municipio de Estocolmo con una gran influencia del cristianismo (católico y ortodoxo) e ideologías inflexibles y totalitarias por su población proveniente de las diásporas asiria ( assyrier/ syrianer) y árabe. La resultante homofobia extrema de ese fuerte choque cultural hizo que lo que para Alberto comenzó como una a...

This book presents guidelines for the design, operation and monitoring of CO2 injection in fractured carbonates, with low permeability in the rock matrix, for geological storage in permanent trapping. CO2 migration is dominated by fractures in formations where the hydrodynamic and geochemical effects induced by the injection play a key role influencing the reservoir behavior. CO2 injection in these rocks shows specific characteristics that are different to injection in porous media, as the results from several research studies worldwide reveal. All aspects of a project of this type are discussed in this text, from the drilling to the injection, as well as support works like well logging, lab...

From the author of Crash Dive, Tiger Reef and Shark Lake Greed, drug trafficking, kidnapping and murder... The Spanish Galleon Arista sank in 1539 due to a storm and the heavy weight of its cargo. The ship had been carrying Aztec golden treasure; chains, goblets, plates, statues, lamps, ceremonial swords, bricks, bars, and coins, all of solid Aztec gold. Much of the gold, however, had been thrown overboard trying to save the ship. Having read a portion of its log, deep sea divers Ben Gannon and Eugene McCluskey were convinced by the descendants of the ship’s owner to recover it and its bounty. When the treasure proved to be illusive, the job became treacherous with twists and turns that include greed, drug trafficking, kidnapping and murder.

American prosecutors are asked to play two roles within the criminal justice system: they are supposed to be ministers of justice whose only goals are to ensure fair trials—and they are also advocates of the government whose success rates are measured by how many convictions they get. Because of this second role, sometimes prosecutors suppress evidence in order to establish a defendant’s guilt and safeguard that conviction over time. In Prosecution Complex, Daniel S. Medwed shows how prosecutors are told to lock up criminals and protect the rights of defendants. This double role creates an institutional “prosecution complex” that animates how district attorneys’ offices treat potentially innocent defendants at all stages of the process—and that can cause prosecutors to aid in the conviction of the innocent. Ultimately, Prosecution Complex shows how, while most prosecutors aim to do justice, only some hit that target consistently.
