An ideal linguistic and cultural preparation for anyone planning to study Spanish abroad, covering culture, society, education, young people, work and health.
The book and CD that make up Pasaporte al mundo hispano are an advanced Spanish language course designed specifically for students in the year they go abroad for a study year. The exercises build up students' linguistic competence by working with texts and voices from different parts of the Spanish-speaking world; but as well as developing traditional linguistic skills they ask: What types of location in Spain or Latin America would be most appropriate for me? What are the practical problems I am most likely to encounter? What are the principal social and cultural differences I will meet? It is the authors' belief that linguistic and cultural preparation are inseparable, and essential if the student is to derive full benefit from the experience of living in Spain or Latin America.

He aquí una visión moderna del mito épico del héroe de la guerra de Troya tejida con las historias convergentes de su vida: la protección de su madre, la ninfa Tetis; su educación en la guerra de la mano de Quirón, el centauro, y en el arte por la musa Calíope, así como su temprana elección de una vida corta y gloriosa frente a otra larga en años y anodina, y su trágica muerte a manos de Paris. En este largo poema en prosa que retrata la agonía y la belleza de un mito clásico, Elizabeth Cook construye un relato intenso y cercano que renueva el vigor y el aliento de sus fuentes. Una hermosa y singular novela que aúna las virtudes de la poesía y la narración histórica para recuperar los arquetipos clásicos y aproximarlos a la sensibilidad contemporánea.

Women Shaping Global Economic Governance brings together contributions from leading policymakers and thought leaders from all across the world on how to shape our economies. Written entirely by women, this book is not about women. It is written by women who want to encourage everyone, including the 50% of the global population that are women, to contribute to shaping economic governance at a time where the world is impacted by a digital, environmental and social revolution. The essays and observations show women analysing the challenges confronting economic governance and formulating concrete proposals for how to navigate this period of turbulence.
