Hoy, comprar por Internet es algo cotidiano. Sin embargo, esto no era así hasta hace pocos años. La historia dice que Internet y la inteligencia artificial (IA) se crearon hace cincuenta años, y el comercio electrónico, hace algo menos. Sin embargo, el e-commerce comenzó a tener una forma parecida a la que conocemos hoy en los años noventa, cuando Internet se popularizó y la seguridad de los medios de pago mejoró. Desde entonces, podemos decir que el comercio electrónico y la IA son la pareja perfecta y que Cupido fue Internet. Una definición tradicional de comercio electrónico es "cualquier forma de transacción comercial en la que las partes interactúan electrónicamente". Una ...
En este segundo libro de Discursos, se recogen distintas intervenciones públicas del académico Dr. Alfonso Santiago con motivo de su tarea como profesor y directivo universitario. La obra contiene más de treinta de esas presentaciones agrupadas en cuatro secciones: la primera es la más autobiográfica; la segunda recoge distintas semblanzas de juristas argentinos, que le correspondió realizar en diferentes ocasiones; en la tercera figuran algunos discursos que pronunció como director de la Escuela de Política, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Austral; y, finalmente, la cuarta reúne presentaciones que realizó fuera de ese ámbito universitario, en instituciones públicas y privadas. El libro trata temas muy diversos, todos vinculados con el Derecho, en particular, con el Derecho constitucional.
En un mundo donde la innovación y la protección de la creación intelectual son pilares fundamentales para el avance y la sostenibilidad, llega un libro que se adentra en el corazón de uno de los debates más trascendentales y disruptivos de la actualidad agrícola y biotecnológica: la adhesión al Acta UPOV 1991. Esta obra escrita por uno de los referentes mundiales en la materia es un llamado a la reflexión profunda sobre lo que realmente significa proteger las nuevas variedades vegetales en la era genómica del siglo XXI. Con un enfoque meticuloso, examina el Acta UPOV 1991, marcando sus diferencias con el Acta de 1978, y clarificando los derechos y excepciones que otorga, así como sus limitaciones. Al desmitificar los malentendidos que rodean al debate público, destaca las características de una legislación pensada para impulsar la innovación y salvaguardar los esfuerzos de los obtentores. Este libro busca ser un faro de claridad al ofrecer un análisis imparcial y basado en la normativa, lejos de las interpretaciones ideológicas que han dominado la conversación.

The Bauhaus, the school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, brought together artists, architects and designers in an extraordinary conversation about modern art. Bauhaus 1919-1933, published to accompany a major multimedia exhibition at MoMA, is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject by MoMA since 1938 and offers a new generational perspective on the 20th century's most influential experiment in artistic education. It brings together works in a broad range of mediums, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theatre and costume design, and painting and sculpture - many of which have rarely if ever been seen outside of Germany. Featuring about 400 colour plates and a rich range of documentary images, this publication includes two overarching images by the exhibition's curators, Leah Dickerman and Barry Bergdoll, concise interpretive essays on key objects by over twenty leading scholars, and an illustrated, narrative chronology.
"Picasso: The Making of Cubism 1912-1914 delves into a watershed moment in the history of twentieth-century art and in Pablo Picasso's career through in-depth studies of fifteen objects made by the artist between 1912 and 1914. Catalyzed by MoMA's 2011 exhibition Picasso: Guitars 1912-1914, this interactive digital publication reveals for the first time the many insights gained by curators, scholars, and conservators through first-hand examination of the works in the Museum's galleries and in the conservation lab."--
In the late 1980s, Holocaust literature emerged as a provocative, but poorly defined, scholarly field. The essays in this volume reflect the increasingly international and pluridisciplinary nature of this scholarship and the widening of the definition of Holocaust literature to include comic books, fiction, film, and poetry, as well as the more traditional diaries, memoirs, and journals. Ten contributors from four countries engage issues of authenticity, evangelicalism, morality, representation, personal experience, and wish-fulfillment in Holocaust literature, which have been the subject of controversies in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Of interest to students and instructors of antisemitism, national and comparative literatures, theater, film, history, literary criticism, religion, and Holocaust studies, this book also contains an extensive bibliography with references in over twenty languages which seeks to inspire further research in an international context.
This novel explores Captain Robert Fitzroy's abduction of Jemmy Button from his home in Cape Horn and Fitzroy's attempt to "civilize" Button in England in order to return him to his country as a bearer of "enlightened society." The experiment leads to tragic consequences. Tierra del Fuego deals with European arrogance and exploitation without resorting to the cliche of the "Noble Savage."".
