Gadir
In the year of the one hundred and seventy-seventh Olympiad (70 B.C.), Posidonius of Apamea, a famous Rhodian philosopher who had devoted his life to the search for knowledge, finally fulfills an ancient longing: to travel to Gadir, the mythical Canaanite city of distant west, to visit the famous temple of Melqart. Thanks to the influence of his protector, Pompey the Great, Posidonius obtains the rare privilege of staying in the temple itself, where he wants to observe the stars, study the tides and consult the funds of his extraordinary library. Without knowing it, the Greek gets into the mouth of a volcano about to explode. His presence in Gadir arouses the misgivings of the supporters of ...
Última frontera
En el siglo xv, Pedro, un joven huérfano, vive en Córdoba bajo el cuidado de monjes. Al conocer que el Señor de Marchena busca hombres para colonizar tierras cercanas a la frontera del Reino de Granada, decide aventurarse hacia lo desconocido. A partir de ese momento, su vida se convierte en un torbellino de desventuras. A la tierna edad de catorce años, se encuentra en Aznalmara, justo en la frontera, donde los pobladores de ambos lados se enfrentan a constantes sobresaltos. Luchando por sobrevivir, desprovisto de conocimientos y sin una familia que lo proteja, Pedro se siente como un navío a la deriva, sin un rumbo claro, sin saber qué vientos soplarán y hacia dónde lo arrastrarán. En Última frontera, se reflejan las grandezas y miserias de los colonos de Andalucía que defendían los reinos cristianos españoles. Juan Luis Pulido nos lleva en un viaje fascinante donde los destinos se entrelazan con la historia y la supervivencia se vuelve heroica. Después de sus éxitos anteriores, Pulido vuelve con Última frontera, cautivando al lector con su prosa magistral y transportándonos a un mundo lleno de misterio y valentía.

Maritime Safety Law and Policies of the European Union and the United States of America: Antagonism or Synergy?
The International Maritime Organization (IMO), as the United Nations specialized agency responsible for the regulation of shipping engaged in international trade from the points of view of maritime safety and the prevention and control of pol- tion by ships, recognizes that these goals can only be effectively achieved if each and every link in the corresponding chain of responsibility meets fully its obli- tions. Flag, port and coastal States, as well as the shipping industry itself, all have roles to play in collectively improving safety and protecting the environment, both marine and atmospheric, through the development, adoption, and uniform imp- mentation and enforcement of, global stand...
