The Stories that Speak
The stories that speak is an endearing romp through dozens of locations, genres and writing styles. Teleport instantly from chance encounters at the Zurich airport to soul connections near a Goan beach and animal rescues in a New Delhi coffee shop. Chase after a flying mustache, a girl getting a haircut in Florence and Greek mythology with just the turn of a page. This is first collaboration of musician-poet Sahil Miglani and writer Sikandar Marwah and their shared love of prose and verse. The collection of poems and short stories blurs the line between fiction and reality, and promises to be an enjoyable riot of unpredictable plots and memorable characters tied together by the thread of a unique literary approach.

Democratic Brazil Revisited
Brazil presents a compelling example of twenty-first century democracy in action. In this sequel to their landmark study Democratic Brazil, editors Peter Kingstone and Timothy J. Power have assembled a distinguished group of U.S.- and Brazilian-based scholars to assess the impact of competitive politics on Brazilian government, institutions, economics, and society. The 2002 election of Lula da Silva and his Worker's Party promised a radical shift toward progressive reform, transparency, and accountability, opposing the earlier centrist and market-oriented policies of the Cardoso government. But despite the popular support reflected in his 2006 reelection, many observers claim that Lula and h...

The Flower Man's Daughter
The violent coup that toppled Chilean president Salvador Allende in 1973 serves as the backdrop for this dramatic story about the experiences of a rookie CIA offi cer. Having just graduated from Yale, his ability to speak Spanish lands him in the capital of Chile just weeks before the revolution. His adventures there lead him to wrestle with ethical questions involving America's clandestine role in the destabilization of the Chilean government. When a kindly fl ower merchant and his wife are captured by military forces during the attack on the presidential palace, the young offi cer must make a diffi cult and dangerous decision that could change their lives forever.
The Oxford Handbook of Neo-Latin
From the dawn of the early modern period around 1400 until the eighteenth century, Latin was still the European language and its influence extended as far as Asia and the Americas. At the same time, the production of Latin writing exploded thanks to book printing and new literary and cultural dynamics. Latin also entered into a complex interplay with the rising vernacular languages. This Handbook gives an accessible survey of the main genres, contexts, and regions of Neo-Latin, as we have come to call Latin writing composed in the wake of Petrarch (1304-74). Its emphasis is on the period of Neo-Latin's greatest cultural relevance, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Its chapters,...
Proceedings of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) 2020, Volume 1
This book provides the state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems along with a vision of the future research. The fifth 2020 Future Technologies Conference was organized virtually and received a total of 590 submissions from academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all over the world. The submitted papers covered a wide range of important topics including but not limited to computing, electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, security and communications and their applications to the real world. After a double-blind peer review process, 210 submissions (including 6 poster papers) have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together a large group of technology geniuses in one venue to not only present breakthrough research in future technologies, but also to promote discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities and research findings. The authors hope that readers find the book interesting, exciting and inspiring
Inteligência artificial nas relações de consumo
Em um mundo em constante evolução tecnológica, as implicações da Inteligência Artificial (IA) nas relações de consumo se tornam um foco de crescente interesse e importante debate. Este livro, idealizado pelo IBRAC – Instituto Brasileiro de Estudos de Concorrência, Consumo e Comércio Internacional, reúne uma série de ensaios e análises que abordam os desafios e oportunidades desta intersecção entre a IA e o Direito do Consumidor. Desde os conceitos iniciais e o estágio atual de utilização da IA no Brasil e no mundo, passando pela regulamentação tanto no cenário nacional quanto internacional, o livro explora amplamente as oportunidades e riscos desse universo, como a responsabilidade civil ligada aos sistemas de IA, a aplicação das regras já em vigência do Código de Defesa do Consumidor nesse contexto, as questões de governança e até mesmo como a IA pode auxiliar na definição e implementação de políticas públicas relacionadas ao direito do consumidor.
