Book excerpt: In the middle years of the second century BC, Rome was engaged in the conquest and pacification of what is now Spain and Portugal. They met with determined resistance from several tribes but nobody defied them with more determination and skill than Viriathus. Apparently of humble birth, he emerged as a leader after the treacherous massacre of the existing tribal chieftains and soon proved himself a gifted and audacious commander. Relying on hit and run guerrilla tactics, he inflicted repeated humiliating reverses upon the theoretically superior Roman forces, uniting a number of tribes in resistance to the invader and stalling their efforts at conquest and pacification for eight years. Still unbeaten in the field, he was only overcome when the Romans resorted to bribing some of his own men to assassinate him (though they reneged on the agreed payment, claiming they did not reward traitors!). Though renowned in his day Viriathus has been neglected by modern historians, a travesty that Luis Silva puts right in this thoroughly researched and accessible account. Portuguese by birth, the author draws on Portuguese research and perspectives that will be refreshing to English-language scholars and his own military experience also informs his analysis of events. What emerges is a stirring account of defiance, heroic resistance against the odds and, ultimately, treachery and tragedy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Octavio Paz: Ontology and Surrealism discusses poet Octavio Paz (1914–1998), one of Mexico´s most controversial intellectuals. Over several decades, Paz has been celebrated for his impact on literature and culture as a poet as well as an essayist, and he is recognized as a great thinker and as a student of German ontology and phenomenology. Roberto Sanchez Benitez analyzes in detail Paz’s training within the European philosophical thinking of the twentieth century, as well as in the artistic avant-garde, to illustrate the way in which philosophical, anthropological, linguistic, sociological, literary, and artistic proposals enriched his work and Mexican culture during the post-revolutionary period. Sanchez Benitez posits that Paz moved from a phenomenological ontology to a historicism of the human condition, wherein morality, politics, and the arts all reside in an ideological context where dogmatisms where impose in the face of a lack of internal criticism. This book explores the themes of the poetic act that Paz associated with his ontological and surrealist readings, leading up to when they were transformed by his experience in India and the assimilation of Eastern philosophies, along with going through a set of Western proposals relating to love, eroticism, and art. Scholars of literature, philosophy, Latin American Studies, and history will find this book particularly useful.

This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Un libro divulgador de esos aspectos que tocan a misterios y secretos de la historia humana, a través de más de cien casos que demuestran cómo, pese a la idea de que en la historia prima lo inteligible sobre lo oscuro y confuso, resulta que tales aspectos brumosos son los que, a fin de cuentas, van determinando la sus-tancia profunda de nuestra memoria, o desmemoria, colectiva. A una documentación precisa se une la clara y bien desarrollada exposición, que procura aportar al enigma la mayor cantidad posible de datos, sin que a veces falte una sutil mirada irónica.» Del Prólogo de José María Merino, de la Real Academia Española Tras los Grandes mitos y leyendas de la Historia, Carlos Taranilla de la Varga nos vuelve a sorprender con esta obra donde se recogen los grandes enigmas y misterios de la Historia que desde tiempos ancestrales, hasta la época contemporánea, han despertado el interés en nuestro imaginario colectivo. Desde los grandes enigmas que encierran los textos bíblicos, como el Arca de Noé, la torre de Babel, el Arca de la Alianza, las tinieblas del Gólgota o la numerología bíblica, hasta las muertes más desconcertantes como la de Tutankhamón, Nefertiti o Julio César hasta las de los Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe o Bruce Lee, de las que en la actualidad siguen vertiéndose regueros de tinta, con las más increíbles teorías sobre sus trágicos finales. Un libro ameno y riguroso que se adentra en grandes hallazgos arqueológicos, sorprendentes enigmas escondidos tras obras de arte como las colosales cabezas olmecas, el cadáver acéfalo de Goya, La Pesadilla de Füssli o los lugares más intrigantes como los de la leyenda del laberinto de Cnossos, la gran pirámide de Keóps, las estatuas de la isla de Pascua o el triángulo de las Bermudas. Un recorrido extenso y detallado por todos los acontecimientos, lugares y personajes que han mantenido en vilo a la humanidad a lo largo de la Historia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The context of business has been changing for companies in recent years, and following numerous corporate and accounting scandals, many countries have increased the number of national and international regulations designed to ensure transparency and compliance with the law. Because of the existence of these new regulations, the level of control, the severity of sanctions by governments, and the amount of the fines for noncompliance have increased dramatically. In parallel, with the technological revolution in communications, business management has become more transparent, and any negative event is uploaded to social networks and shared with an indeterminate number of people. This change in the regulatory, sanctioning and technological context has forced large companies to rethink risks, investments and budgets to deal in this more complex environment. To transition to this change, some companies have included ethics and compliance programs in their corporate agenda, along with marketing and sales plans, strategies, growth targets, investment plans and/or talent acquisition. While each industry has its particular risks, in this book, the author describes the essential elements that any effective ethics and compliance program should contain. This book is a source of information that connects yesterday with today. The author shares observations and lessons of the past to suggest corporate leaders implement effective ethics and compliance programs to protect their organizations and themselves. The book covers theories of ethics but with an eye focused on practical application. Risks, ethics, and compliance are analyzed with an overall vision, connected to the reality of business life, without getting bogged down in abstract thinking or in technical and regulatory details. Ethics and compliance are disciplines that have increasingly achieved greater recognition in organizations. Thus, due to the importance of risk management in the business world and the necessary involvement of the CEO and the board of directors, it seems appropriate that executives get access to a book about risks, ethics, compliance and human resources directed not only to compliance experts but also to any organizational leader. This book is a wake-up call that allows business leaders to understand the benefits of implementing an effective ethics and compliance program that will help members of organizations to make the right decisions and act within the law. If they do, they can better prevent and react to the difficult obstacle course of risks, dangers and threats that organizations face and that may jeopardize the sustainability, resilience, and survival of companies.
