Preventing Health and Environmental Risks in Latin America
This book addresses environmental and medical issues that could risk our well-being, our health, or even cause death. Some of the issues analysed could have negative consequences not only today but also for future generations if not prevented in time. With regard to health risks, the authors discuss several diseases that could be avoided if people perform (or avoid) certain behaviours and become accustomed to having healthier habits. Concerning environmental hazards, the authors discuss which social groups should be taken into account based on preventive strategies used to avoid a particular disaster. Both sections of the book on health and environmental issues have a subsection with chapters about risks and society. No matter the risk-related discipline the reader is familiar with, when he ends reading the book, it will become clear that risk analysis is the basis for prevention, and that it cannot be addressed from a single discipline nor with a single methodology.

May Contain Graphic Material
Since the first Superman film came to the screen in 1978, films adapted from comics have become increasingly important as a film form. Since that time, advances in computer-generated special effects have significantly improved the ability of film to capture the style and action of comics, producing film such as X-men and Spider-man.
The Foundations and Future of Financial Regulation
Financial regulation has entered into a new era, as many foundational economic theories and policies supporting the existing infrastructure have been and are being questioned following the financial crisis. Goodhart et al’s seminal monograph "Financial Regulation: Why, How and Where Now?" (Routledge:1998) took stock of the extent of financial innovation and the maturity of the financial services industry at that time, and mapped out a new regulatory roadmap. This book offers a timely exploration of the "Why, How and Where Now" of financial regulation in the aftermath of the crisis in order to map out the future trajectory of financial regulation in an age where financial stability is being...
Cooperative Games on Combinatorial Structures
The aim of Cooperative Games on Combinatorial Structures is to analyze conflict situations in which two or more players can make coalitions and obtain prizes and penalties. This approach to situations of competition and cooperation was given in the seminal treatise by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Cooperative game theory has succeeded in providing many applications of game theory. In this volume, games defined on combinatorial structures will be analyzed, i.e. a set system over a set of players. In many situations the author will work in a closure space. Examples of closure operators are the spanning operator of linear algebra and all convex h...

Diccionari de llargmetratges
Entre el naixement del cinema sonor a Catalunya (1930) i la fi del franquisme (1975), empreses ubicades a Catalunya i directors catalans arreu del món van fer 883 llargmetratges cinematogràfics. Aquest període, que abraça no només el canvi tan important que va representar l'adopció del sonor, fou afectat pels fets històrics més decisius de la història d'Espanya dels darrers anys: la República, la Guerra Civil i el franquisme. La cinematografia catalana gairebé mai no va poder reflectir la cultura ni la civilització del país a causa de la seva supeditació a la cinematografia espanyola, seguint la lògica de la dependència política a l'Estat espanyol. Els escassos intents de fe...
