Hom diu que només hi ha dues coses en la vida que són certes i segures: una és la mort i l'altra són els impostos. I aquest llibre pretén estudiar, precisament, el sistema fiscal, tema important, de vegades antipàtic, però que forma part de totes les societats humanes mínimament organitzades. Qualsevol branca de les ciències socials pot abordar l'estudi del fet fiscal des de diverses perspectives, com ara la jurídica o la sociològica. Aquest treball ho fa des de la perspectiva econòmica, utilitzant les seues eines per informar el disseny d'un bon sistema fiscal. Explica què entenem per un bon sistema fiscal i, per tant, defineix els objectius i principis que cal observar en el seu disseny. Aquests principis bàsics s'apliquen a l'estudi detallat dels diferents impostos que configuren el sistema fiscal de manera que el lector interessat pot llegir-los de forma separada segons els seus interessos. El resultat és un llibre útil per a qualsevol persona amb un nivell bàsic de coneixements en economia i amb interès per saber què pot dir aquesta disciplina sobre una qüestió tan políticament sensible.
Global value chains (GVCs) are a key feature of the global economy in the 21st century. They show how international investment and trade create cross-border production networks that link countries, firms and workers around the globe. This Handbook describes how GVCs arise and vary across industries and countries, and how they have evolved over time in response to economic and political forces. With chapters written by leading interdisciplinary scholars, the Handbook unpacks the key concepts of GVC governance and upgrading, and explores policy implications for advanced and developing economies alike. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Arial}
Aquest volum comprèn els catàlegs de tres exposicions realitzades per la Universitat. Es tracta d'espais de referència de la Comunitat Valenciana on el patrimoni, el paisatge i la diversitat són comunes. S'ha comptat amb la participació d'un centenar d'especialistes en diverses disciplines, com la biologia, la geologia, la història, l'arqueologia, el dret, l'economia, el patrimoni cultural, la geografia o la didàctica, entre altres. D'aqueixa manera, tres ambients diferents, com és el pla litoral (l'Horta de València), l'interior (el Massís del Caroig i les seues comarques limítrofes) i el muntanyenc (Parcs Naturals de la Font Roja i la Serra de Mariola), són abordats des d'una perspectiva multidisciplinària i plural, per quasi un centenar d'estudiosos d'aquests territoris. La publicació recull, així, reflexions entorn de les ciències naturals, socials i humanes.

Gilbert Hernandez' sensationally semen-drenched fantasia is still the hottest Eros comic of them all. With a delightfully deviant cast featuring driping exploits of two spunky strippers, an oversexed psychiatrist and her philandering husband.
Across a broad spectrum of media, markets, and national contexts, self-reflexivity continues to be a favored narrative mode with wide ranging functions. In this book Amago argues that, in addition to making visible industry and production concerns within the film text, reflexive aesthetics have a cartographic function that serves to map the place of a film (geographic and cultural) within the global cinemascape, and thus to bring into sharper relief images of the national. Focusing on films in the contemporary Spanish context that in some way reflect back on themselves and the processes of their own production, that purposefully blur the distinction between reality and fiction, or that draw attention to the various modes of cinematic exhibition and reception, Amago proposes ways in which these movies can be employed to understand Spanish national cinemas today as imbedded within a dynamic global system.
