James Bond Will Return
For over six decades, James Bond has been a fixture of global culture, universally recognizable by the films’ combination of action set pieces, sex, political intrigue, and outrageous gadgetry. But as the British Empire entered the final stages of collapse, as the Cold War wound down and the “War on Terror” began, and as the visions of masculinity and femininity the series presented began to strike many viewers as outdated, the Bond formula has adapted to the changing times. Spanning the franchise’s entire history, from Sean Connery’s iconic swagger to Daniel Craig’s rougher, more visceral interpretation of the superspy, James Bond Will Return offers both academic readers and fan...
New World Empires
This book is a sweeping reexamination of the evolution of the state, covering the indigenous orders of pre-Columbian America, the Spanish, Portuguese, and British Empires in the Americas, and their major successor states of Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. Exploring the mechanisms of colonial order construction and the way in which that process prepared the ground for the emergence of national empires after independence, Niaz contends that the destruction of indigenous demography and culture was so complete that the societies and states of the New World are colonial in their basic fabric, thereby diverging from the Asian and African experience of European colonial rule. Independence fr...

US Hegemony and the Americas
In this book, Arturo Santa-Cruz advances an understanding of power as a social relationship and applies it consistently to the economic realm in United States relations with other countries of the Western Hemisphere. Following the academic and popular debate on the ebb and flow of US hegemony, this work centers the analysis in a critical case for the exercise of US power through its economic statecraft: the Americas—its historical zone of influence. The rationale for the regional focus is methodological: if it can be shown that Washington's sway has decreased in the area since the early 1970s, when the discussion about this matter started, it can be safely assumed that the same has occurre...

Rio, uma Cidade Sitiada
Neste livro, resultado da dissertação de mestrado de Igor Lacerda (PPGCOM-UERJ), o leitor é conduzido a uma análise crítica da interação entre as narrativas de um jornal carioca e de políticos sobre a intervenção militar (2018) no Rio de Janeiro. Por um período de dois anos, o autor explorou como essas narrativas, alinhadas a interesses econômicos e políticos, produziram sentidos sobre a metrópole e influenciaram as experiências urbanas de moradores e turistas. Com enfoque na construção de sentidos sobre a cidade e as violências, o autor investiga a interconexão entre as reportagens e as narrativas de políticos, bem como a instrumentalização do medo e da memória para a...
Manual de historia del derecho. Tomo VI
Esta obra, dividida en seis tomos, desarrolla la historia del derecho en Guatemala desde una visión analítica del jurista, es decir, a través de una lectura crítica de las normas jurídicas decretadas en el país en relación con el contexto histórico (estructuras sociales, políticas y económicas) y los procesos específicos circundantes al momento de su emisión. El sexto y último tomo inicia con una descripción de los sucesos representativos en torno a la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz y sus contenidos (reformas constitucionales, instituciones y normativas jurídicas), durante el Gobierno de Álvaro Arzú, en 1996. Luego, se hace una exposición de generalidades, planes de gobierno, logros, decretos y crisis de los mandatos del siglo XXI: el de Alfonso Portillo, Óscar Berger, Álvaro Colom, Otto Pérez Molina, Alejandro Maldonado y, para finalizar, Jimmy Morales.
Management of Sepsis: the PIRO Approach
Sepsis is a very important public health problem. It is widely acknowledged that the severe inflammatory response syndrome/severe sepsis paradigm fails to stratify sepsis patients adequately. This book reviews in detail how sepsis should be managed on the basis of a novel approach to staging. The PIRO (predisposing factors, infection, response, organ dysfunction) model was first proposed at the start of the decade on a theoretical basis and has now been translated into a practical approach for use at the bedside. It is loosely based on the TNM staging system for cancers, with points being allocated to each of the four aforementioned key characteristics of the septic process. The proposed PIRO framework facilitates evaluation of factors that are important in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis and in the development of treatment strategies. This book clearly explains the advantages of the PIRO approach in different settings and will be of value to all practitioners concerned with the management of sepsis.
