"Este libro recoge algunos de los estudios que he escrito entre 2018 y 2019, donde he venido analizado, a manera de crónica constitucional sobre una Venezuela en las tinieblas, desde algunas ejecutorias de la tenebrosa Asamblea Constituyente electa en 2017, pasando por la lobreguez de un régimen tiránico colapsado, que en su proceso de extinción provocó el mayor “apagón” eléctrico (blackout) que haya ocurrido en el mundo, sumiendo a todo el país, a comienzos de marzo de 2019, en la oscuridad total por varios días; hasta el único asomo de esperanza democrática que el país tiene por delante, que es la lámpara encendida de la Asamblea Nacional. Los trabajos fueron escritos aisl...

El libro de anacronismos y vaticinios ofrece un diagnóstico sobre la forma como se conciben en la práctica judicial las relaciones entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno en diversos ordenamientos de la región. Asi, en la primera parte de esta obra se recopilan diferentes estudios sobre las respuestas que los jueces de Boliva, Perú, Brasil, Guatemala y Argentina han dado a los problemas que resultan de la interacción entre los dos ordenamientos. En el segundo apartado se presenta un diagnóstico detallado en el que se da cuenta de la forma como la Corte Constitucional colombiana ha pretendido enfrentarse a las complejidades que resultan de la relación entre ambas esferas normativas. En esta segunda parte interesa demostrar que pese a la buena fama de nuestro juez constitucional en relación con estos asuntos, éste no nos ofrece respuestas claras a las diversas preguntas en torno a la interacción de estos dos ordenamientos.

Easy-to-Understand (E2U) text practices enable and facilitate accessible communication. E2U refers both to Plain and to Easy Language. These two powerful methods of language and content comprehension enhancement are illustrated through several examples in English, starting from the seminal role of the Anglophone world in promoting plain and lucid style. Originally implemented in written texts, today the employment of these simplified language varieties should infiltrate new communication services that are more complex and multifaceted. Thanks to the EASIT project, the integration of E2U strategies into a selection of audiovisual services is being successfully researched. After advancing simplification proposals in the area of subtitling and audio description, Elisa Perego reports on the results of a cross-country survey conducted during the initial stages of the EASIT project: She pinpoints the background, activity, and training experience of those who currently work in the sector of E2U in Europe, and identifies the skills and the competences of, as well as a training path and materials for, future hybrid professionals.

Ah, the trusty penis. The cock, knob, widgie, pink python, groin bollard - call it what you will, this is one part of the male anatomy that never ceases to provide endless fascination and frequently mirth. Half the population have one and the other half, so Freud would have us believe, would like to. And yet still our flaccid friend is so often misunderstood. The Penis Bookseeks to redress the balance, exposing all (quite literally) there is to know about the honourable member. Throbbing with facts, figures, photos and illustrations, the book leaves no foreskin unturned in its quest to bring you the low-down on its subject. Told with wit, vim and lashings of wicked humour, even the most prudish won't be able to resist raising a smile (and perhaps something else). The Penis Bookis a celebration of the male member in all its purple-helmeted glory. So whether you're male or female, straight or gay, you'll find something in here to titilate and stimulate...
