Disobedience, Slander, Seduction, and Assault
Though the law and courts of nineteenth-century Peru were institutions created by and for the ruling elite, women of all classes used the system to negotiate the complexities of property rights, childrearing, and marriage, and often to defend their very definitions of honor. Drawing on the trial transcripts of Cajamarca, a northern Peruvian province, from more than a century ago, this book shares eye-opening details about life among this community, in which reputation could determine a woman's chances of survival. Exploring the processes of courtship, seduction, and familial duties revealed in these court records, historian Tanja Christiansen has unearthed a compelling panorama that includes...
8 Men and a Duck
8 Men and a Duck charts the hilarious and unnerving Pacific voyage as it rolls between waves of high drama and high farce: from the five-day launch off a Chilean beach, to the bungled phone call that triggered a naval rescue alert, to the sad fate of Pedro the duck, to the constant race against the inexorable sinking of the soggy hull.

Handbook of Research on Software Quality Innovation in Interactive Systems
The inclusion of experts in communicability in the software industry has allowed timeframes to speed up in the commercialization of new technological products worldwide.

If the quality of the interactive design is analyzed, it is left to professionals to gene...

The chance meeting, the play of glances, the whispering, the tenderness, the eroticism, but also the normal life of a couple accompany you from the beginning to the end of the reading.
