Goa, 1961
The subject of the liberation of Goa in 1961 and its integration into the Indian Union in 1962 is sparsely understood at best and misunderstood at worst. What were the events that led to the thirtysixhour military operationpossibly the first since Independence that occurred entirely at India's initiative? What was the political climate within Goa? What role did Goans themselves play? In this gripping account, former journalist Valmiki Faleiro covers a wide canvas in detail, including the entire story of Operation Vijay, the events that preceded it and those that followed. The diplomatic efforts, the arguments, the runup, the buildup, the actual ops and their aftermath in Goa, within India and internationallyall of it is vividly related in this nuanced telling. Faleiro lucidly outlines the prevailing political atmosphere and its changing character, the part played by indigenous independence movements and freedom fighters leading to the liberation of Goa, and the impact of its consequent assimilation into India. Extensively researched and extremely wellwritten, Goa, 1961 is a seminal book on an important subject and a mustread for anyone interested in Indian history.

The Compliance Handbook
Although generally associated with banking and the financial markets, compliance is a concept present in most economic activities and is not exclusive to them. Various industries, such as insurance, the energy sector or telecommunications, among others, need adequate means to ensure compliance with the rules, both those arising from the law itself and the internal rules of a corporate structure. Added legislation on money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism means that compliance must constantly adapt to the new challenges of an ever-changing economy. In addition to this growing transmutation of economic reality, companies are obliged to strengthen their internal control systems in order to avoid consequences. For these reasons, this book seeks, in a simple and objective way, to be an ally to all professionals who deal with these matters on a daily basis.

THE ORGANIZATION AND ORDER OF BATTLE OF MILITARIES IN WORLD WAR II
There are numerous Order of Battle books on the market. So what makes this one so special? Why should one decide on this particular book? Most Order of Battle books usually deal only with the division and corps level of a country's army. Most higher commands are not covered. This book deals with all the branches of a country's military, giving a breakdown of all the major echelons of command, from theater down to brigade, under each component (army group, armies, corps, division, and brigade), and the equivalent command structure for the other military branches are included. Second, it attempts to give an overall command structure of the country's military, showing the central headquarters command structure as well as the major components (army groups, armies, corps, etc.) Third, most Order of Battle books list the commanders and their dates of tenure. This book includes those but also lists their next duty assignments or where they went after leaving the post. One can literally trace a general officer's career through the upper echelons of command, making this completely different from all the other Order of Battle books on the market.
The Challenge of Change
"The legacy of the Modern Movement has gained legendary status, largely as a result of the appreciation of the masterworks and the visionary architectural concepts. In the reality of everyday life, however, it has been difficult to maintain the architectural creations of the Modern Movement in such a way that they still reflect the original intentions of their designers. Many buildings and ensembles of the Modern Movement have already been saved; the icons amongst these have even become so precious that they are treated like pieces of art rather than as buildings in everyday use. But despite the successes that have been achieved, many buildings and ensembles are still at risk of demolition o...

Manual Teórico-Prático de Compliance - 3a Edição
Embora geralmente associado à atividade bancária e aos mercados financeiros, o "compliance" é um conceito presente na generalidade das atividades económicas, não sendo exclusivo destas. Diversas indústrias, como o caso dos seguros, do setor da energia, ou das telecomunicações, entre outras, necessitam de meios adequados para garantirem o cumprimento das normas, tanto as que decorrem da própria lei, como das normas internas de uma estrutura empresarial. Acrescente legislação em matéria de branqueamento de capitais e de combate ao financiamento do terrorismo obriga a que o "compliance" esteja permanentemente a adaptar-se aos novos desafios de uma economia em constante mudança. A esta crescente transmutação da realidade económica acresce a obrigatoriedade de as empresas reforçarem os seus sistemas de controlo interno de forma a evitarem consequências. Por estes motivos, este livro procura de uma forma simples e objetiva, ser um aliado a todos os profissionais que lidam diariamente com estas matérias. Assim, a presente terceira edição deste livro procura, mais do que nunca, ser a resposta para estes desafios.
