Kiedy rozpoczęło się profesjonalne pisarstwo? Autorka monografii, odwołując się przede wszystkim do teorii pola literackiego Pierre’a Bourdieu, stawia śmiałą tezę o początkach zawodu pisarza w Hiszpanii już w pierwszej połowie XVI wieku. Opisuje warunki panujące na rynku wydawniczym i obowiązujące prawodawstwo, a także rozwój romansu rycerskiego – najpopularniejszego wówczas gatunku fikcji literackiej. Na tle tych uwarunkowań pojawia się niezwykła postać: Feliciano de Silva, autor pięciu romansów rycerskich i jednej kontynuacji słynnej Celestyny. Zubożały szlachcic, dla którego pisarstwo stało się sposobem na życie. Książka ukazuje, w czym przejawiał się profesjonalizm Silvy, jak dopasowywał on swoją twórczość do gustów czytelniczych oraz jak był traktowany przez innych uczestników pola literackiego. Czy ulubiony pisarz Don Kichota był też jednym z pierwszych pisarzy zawodowych?

This is the memoir of Jamsheed Marker, Personal Representative of the secretary general of United Nations for East Timor, ...
Calling attention to the unique social and political uses being made of IT in Asia, in the service of offline and online causes predominantly filtered by pre-existing social milieus, the contributors examine the multiple dimensions of Asian differences in the sociology and politics of IT and show how present trends suggest that advanced electronic media will not necessarily be embraced in a smooth, unilinear fashion throughout Asia. This book will appeal to any reader interested in the nexus between society and IT in Asia.

Developing countries and emerging economies have played an ever-expanding role in world trade flows in recent decades but they still face a number of constraints in connecting to global markets. In this volume, members of the WTO's academic network in developing countries - the WTO Chairs Programme - identify major challenges in their respective countries and how to overcome them. The chair-holders originally presented their case studies at the WTO's Annual Conference of the Chairs Programme and the Global Review of Aid for Trade in July 2013. Their contributions have been collected together in this volume to provide a comprehensive picture of the challenges of connecting to global markets.
The 1st International Congress on Stratigraphy (STRATI 2013), hold in Lisbon, 1–7 July 2013, follows the decision to internationalize the conferences previously organized by the French Committee of Stratigraphy (STRATI), the last one of which was held in Paris in 2010. Thus, the congress possesses both the momentum gained from an established conference event and the excitement of being the first International Congress on Stratigraphy. It is held under the auspices of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (IUGS) and it is envisaged that this first congress will lead to others being held in the future. This book includes all papers accepted for oral or poster presentation at the 1st International Congress on Stratigraphy. Papers include a short abstract, main text, figures, tables and references. Each paper has been reviewed by two internationally renowned scientists.
