Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume II, The Biggest Plunder Ever By: Captain C This is the second volume of the trilogy promised by Captain C: Traces on the Water Mirror. The prose writer from Constanta creates a story based on history and fiction, able to win readers. The dynamic plot suggests a policier, with an unpredictable confrontation between an oppressive system and a man with a strong personality; there are also strange adventures, in searching for huge values “transported” by the leaders of Securitate over the borders, passionate love affairs and scenes of the last days in Ceausescu’s epoch. These all complete a vibrating picture described with an overflowing imagination. The ...
Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism By: Captain C Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism is an interesting book inspired by the author’s biography and not invented. It brings to light a group of people less investigated by the Romanian literature. The author has a vigorous and harsh style of writing, according to the character who are not made of cardboard, but they are real flesh and blood. I consider this novel, included into a trilogy, according to the author, to be well received by the public. Literary Critic Ioan Adam Captain C is a rare sea writer, coming from a professional of the sea. The novel shapes the authentic feeling of the sea and an unmistakable human solidarity, revealed in its total plenitude and deepness, only in the conditions of a concrete travel by sea. Novelist Ovidiu Dunăreanu
As of 2015, one in three people worked in agriculture globally. With agriculture contributing only 3 percent of the global GDP, it is challenging for those workers to earn a living wage. Concerns are levied against companies in the food industry, with questions raised about their ethics and their treatment of workers, livestock, and the environment.

"Countering the dystopic and the apocalyptic, Star Trek Philosophy introduces political philosophical reflections on peace, justice, and non-violence through dramatic plots in the utopian Star Trek Universe. By looking at a society where human beings have overcome war, poverty, hunger, and greed, José-Antonio Orosco argues that we can think through the big questions in political philosophy and peace and justice studies by using Star Trek as a blueprint for a more just society.

Este libro plasma los resultados de un proceso de investigación participativa, que desde una perspectiva agroecológica, tuvo como propósito fomentar la conservación y uso de tres especies nativas de la zona andina: la ibia, el cubio y la ruba. Estos tubérculos han persistido desde la época precolombina en sistemas productivos indígenas y campesinos, y hoy forman parte de las denominadas especies infrautilizadas, dada la marginalidad a la cual han sido sometidas durante el último siglo, no obstante su importancia en la diversificación alimentaria y el sustento de poblaciones locales en los Andes. En Turmequé y Ventaquemada, dos municipios del Departamento de Boyacá en Colombia, un grupo de familias agricultoras, junto con la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana y la Corporación PBA, emprendieron un trabajo que permitió reconocer la variabilidad morfológica de estas especies, así como las características de los sistemas productivos diversificados en los cuales se encuentran inmersas, junto a sus prácticas de cultivo, sus usos y valoraciones respecto a nutrición y seguridad alimentaria, aspectos que los agricultores consideran bastión principal para su conservación.
