After the resolution of the seer's second adventure, I returned to the normal routine of work, social contact, and human relations. I was a long time without contact with Renato, the guardian or even the Hindu and the priestess, walking companions. Until on a beautiful sunny day when I enjoyed a moment of leisure with my family, I heard a thin voice calling me from afar. As I directed my vision to voice, my eyes filled with tears as I recognized my benefactor who had helped me overcome my challenges and entered the world's most dangerous cave on my first trip to the mountain.As I got closer, I got up to greet her, gave her a kiss and a big hug. I took the opportunity to introduce you to my mother and my brothers. The contact was brief, but intense. Discreetly, she asked me for a private conversation. I accepted the invitation, and together we went to my room to have more privacy. On the way, our eyes crossed and hers gave me confidence and a dose of mystery.

It's up to the Crimson Vow to decide whether war breaks out between dragonkind and humans. But even if the girls emerge unscathed, there's war of another kind on the horizon--a war between the Crimson Vow and the Wonder Trio, over Mile!
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home became a global phenomenon, yet before 2020, it was a relatively understudied practice. But in informal settlements, the definition of "home" and "employment" is completely intertwined, which is why there is so much to learn from them. For over half a century, mainstream theoretical approaches to urban informality, dominated by development economics, often fail to see this economic and spatial phenomenon jointly. Labor studies tend to be space-blind and spatial studies often disregard informal employment. Profoundly interdisciplinary, this work connects scholarship in development, public policy, labor studies, and feminist ec...
Prince Charming is about to see how the other half lives. The underwater half… A curse has rendered angelic prince Patricio unable to tell true love from the spell-induced adoration that infects those around him. Now that same curse has lured the mermaid Marcela out of the water to find him. Will he realize she broke his curse…before he breaks her heart? Arrogance and curses aren’t their only problems either. Another woman wants Patricio for her own—by any means necessary. With her sinful sorcery hidden behind an impenetrable cloak of righteous piety, she’s the perfect angel bait. Passion charges the air between Marcela and Patricio, but how can they trust their desire when so much...
This volume considers the influential revival of ancient philosophical skepticism in the 16th and early 17th centuries and investigates, from a comparative perspective, its reception in early modern English, Spanish and French drama, dedicating detailed readings to plays by Shakespeare, Calderón, Lope de Vega, Rotrou, Desfontaines, and Cervantes. While all the plays employ similar dramatic devices for "putting skepticism on stage", the study explores how these dramas, however, give different "answers" to the challenges posed by skepticism in relation to their respective historico-cultural and "ideological" contexts.

Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

But in a land as alive and hungry as any predator, sacrifices that aren’t given will soon be taken by force. And his jilted lover would rather see the land eat its prince than let him fall into the arms of another. ...
