La vida iba en serio
Ese muchacho que llega a Madrid en 1995 arrastrando su maleta, con un contrato para trabajar en una revista del corazón y mil silencios en el recuerdo, poco imagina que pronto será uno de los rostros televisivos más reconocidos de nuestro país. Ese joven que deja atrás su barrio, su familia y una vida cargada de deseos, miedos y preguntas sin respuesta, no sabe todavía lo poco que tardará en conseguir aquello que anhela: la libertad para ser él mismo, vivir abiertamente su sexualidad, destacar en su profesión y conocer a amigos ante los que abrirse sin reparos ni vergüenza. Ésta es una novela de reconciliación y de recuerdo. Aunque, sobre todo, es la historia divertida, agridulce y evocadora de un protagonista al que todos creemos conocer, pero con una vida interior lúcida e intensa a la que muy pocos han accedido en realidad.

Antes del olvido
«—Jorge, ¿crees que te daría vergüenza hablar de tus problemas? —me pregunta Silvia, mi psicóloga. Le contesto que no, que más bien al contrario. Sé que me va a venir bien. Todos mis libros empiezan con una gran crisis, qué le vamos a hacer.» Hay máscaras que se pegan a la piel como si de una capa de maquillaje se tratase, y la de Jorge Javier Vázquez le ha acompañado durante tanto tiempo que en ocasiones parece imposible separar a la persona del personaje. En Antes del olvido se deshace de todas las caretas y se muestra sincero y brutal, como alguien dispuesto a mirarse cara a cara para seguir sorprendiéndose. Un recorrido por la amistad, el miedo, el exceso, la adicción, el amor y la salud: un relato tierno, salpicado de humor y compasión, que nos habla de tomar conciencia de la propia vida y nos enseña que siempre hay espacio para la esperanza. Jorge Javier en estado puro, descarnado y auténtico. Un canto a la vida y a la amistad en el que todos podemos encontrarnos
Último verano de juventud
Tengo cuarenta y cuatro años aunque estoy convencido de que tengo cuarenta y siete porque he decidido que a esa edad iniciaré una nueva vida. Así empieza Último verano de juventud. Jorge, el protagonista, entra en crisis personal y profesional. Han pasado quince años desde que aquel muchacho llegara a Madrid con una maleta y muchos silencios. Se ha convertido en un periodista famoso que ha llegado a lo más alto de su profesión. Pero nada le hace feliz y echa de menos al joven libre que fue. Este libro es un relato de su vida en tiempo real. Las miserias y las glorias en un repaso sincero de un pasado desconocido. A caballo entre la ficción y su propia vida, Jorge Javier Vázquez habla de las luces y sombras del éxito desproporcionado que marcó su llegada a la televisión, de la euforia y el dolor y de cómo impactó todo ello en su familia y en él mismo. Una novela repleta de morbo y de autenticidad, tan descarnada y brutal como tremendamente divertida, donde el protagonista muestra su verdadera cara: esa que queda a diario detrás de los focos. Sin duda una obra que sorprenderá a los lectores y dará mucho que hablar.
The Bitcoin Dilemma
There are few innovations that have the potential to revolutionize commerce and have evolved so quickly that there remain significant misunderstandings about their operation, opportunity, and challenges as has Bitcoin in the dozen years since its invention. The potential for banking, transacting, and public recording of important records is profound, but can be displacing if not done with appropriate care, and is downright dangerous if certain pitfalls are not noted and avoided. Among other things, this book proves the existence of a Bitcoin dilemma that challenges the conventional wisdom which mistakenly asserts the incredibly intensive energy consumption in Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency min...
The Challenges of Tax Reform in a Global Economy
This book presents 15 original papers and commentaries by a distinguished group of tax policy and tax administration experts. Using international examples, they highlight the state of knowledge of tax reform, present new thinking about the issue, and analyze useful policy options. The book’s general goal is to examine the current and emerging challenges facing tax reformers and to assess possible directions future reforms are likely to take. More specific themes include distributional issues, how to tax capital income, how to design specific taxes (e.g., the income tax, the value-added tax, the property tax), how to consider the politics and administrative aspects of tax reform, and how to combine the separate insights into comprehensive tax reform.
Fiscal Decentralization and Local Finance in Developing Countries
This book draws on experiences in developing countries to bridge the gap between the conventional textbook treatment of fiscal decentralization and the actual practice of subnational government finance. The extensive literature about the theory and practice is surveyed and longstanding problems and new questions are addressed. It focuses on the key choices that must be made in decentralizing, on how economic and political factors shape the choices that countries make, and on how, by paying more attention to the need for a more comprehensive approach and the critical connections between different components of decentralization reform, everyone involved might get more for their money.
Digital Literacy for Teachers
This book shows the results of research in different countries on how to measure digital competence among future generations of teachers and facing the challenges brought by the convergence of analogue and digital media. This book provides answers to the research questions: How should the key competencies related to media pedagogy be effectively measured and compared? What is the level of digital literacy of pre-service teachers in selected countries? The individual chapters are based on a systematic review of research results (from the last two decades) to show trends related to changes in measurement and levels of digital competence. This book is valuable for researchers training future generations of teachers in the use of new media as well as to those trying to measure the development of the information society, as well as those conducting research in the field of comparative pedagogy (including the transfer of the most effective solutions in the field of media pedagogy).
Insight Turkey / Summer 2022: Embracing Emerging Technologies
Historically speaking, technology has been one of the main determinants in international politics due to its impact on economic development and warfare. However, lately, its preponderancy is becoming more inclusive considering that technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) Internet of Things (IoT), big data, blockchain, 3D printing, etc. are evolving faster than ever. From the Ukraine-Russia war and the energy crisis to the global economic and social crisis to the deepening great powers rivalry, all point to the importance of emerging technologies. Specifically, technology has become a key asset in the framework of international relations, and the so-called technopolitics –the enta...
