La revuelta de los proeuropeos y nacionalistas en Kiev llamada Euromaidán desató la respuesta rusa, que occidente define como Guerra Hibrida. Sin embargo, el análisis de la secuencia de acciones y las herramientas puestas en juego hace posible comprender la Estrategia de Moscú de manera holística sin extrapolar conocimientos. Los acontecimientos descriptos, además de concluir en la adhesión de Crimea y la creación de un foco de inestabilidad en el este de Ucrania dejan en claro que esta Guerra de Nueva Generación de Rusia es la forma más evolucionada de dirimir conflictos.
Force Structure, Tactics, and Modernization of the Russian Ground Forces The mighty Soviet Army is no more. The feckless Russian Army that stumbled into Chechnya is no more. Today's Russian Army is modern, better manned, better equipped and designed for maneuver combat under nuclear-threatened conditions. This is your source for the tactics, equipment, force structure and theoretical underpinnings of a major Eurasian power. Here's what the experts are saying: "A superb baseline study for understanding how and why the modern Russian Army functions as it does. Essential for specialist and generalist alike." -Colonel (Ret) David M. Glantz, foremost Western author on the Soviet Union in World Wa...

Segundo Xesús Alonso Montero, Ramón Piñeiro non só logrou continuar o proxecto tronzado en 1936 senón reinventar a cultura galega. O autor salienta o papel do intelectual galeguista como promotor da recuperación da cultura galega en plena ditadura franquista, nun momento en que as Letras en lingua galega, na Galicia franquista, eran irrelevantes, case inexistentes, e o uso social do vello idioma do país faría pensar que ese idioma só había producir, no futuro, unha literatura subalterna, "dialectal" e folclórica. Nese marco tan precario, cando non hostil, xorde o proxecto cultural que Alonso Montero describe pormenorizadamente en Ramón Piñeiro ou a reinvención da cultura galega. Desde o período anterior á Guerra Civil ata o seu papel como director literario de Editorial Galaxia, pasando polos anos de cárcere, a súa relación coa mocidade e a polémica con Luís Seoane, o libro é unha biografía intelectual de Piñeiro e un fresco do panorama cultural da época.
A dark protrait of urban ennui and ambition where what is real and what is not is hard to pin down. Julio is a frustrated publishing executive who falls in love with Laura, a bored urban mother. Julio had another lover, Teresa, who died in a crash - or did she? Did she ever exist?
This volume brings together a number of distinguished scholars in the field of Poema de mio Cid studies. It provides an informed introduction to key literary aspects of the poem, and thoroughly examines many of the complex issues that are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the work (historical context, ideological motivations, prosification in medieval chronicles, the poem’s place in the canon of Spanish literature). Equally important are the new findings that have been put forward since the 1970s, when scholars started to challenge Ramón Menéndez Pidal’s theories that had dominated the philological discourse since the beginning of the twentieth century. Contributors are Matthew Bailey, Simon Barton, Francisco Bautista, Juan Carlos Bayo Julve, Federico Corriente, Leonardo Funes, Luis Galván, Fernando Gómez Redondo, Eukene Lacarra Lanz, Salvatore Luongo, Georges Martin, Alberto Montaner, Javier Rodríguez Molina, Mercedes Vaquero, Roger Wright, and Irene Zaderenko.

This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.
