Book Description
Como en un principio, los fantasmas interiores volvieron y lo hicieron con más fuerza que antes, provocando en mí el odio y el rencor más grande que haya sentido nunca hacia una persona; estoy seguro también que este asunto terminará con la muerte. Resulta curioso, porque aunque en algunos momentos siento que a ese hombre que me ordenan asesinar lo conozco profundamente y me he enfrentado a él, hay otros en que mi mente es bloqueada e ignoro cómo es él en realidad. Aunque ahora sepa de quién se trata, también sé, sin la menor duda, que al encontrarle en mi camino voy a hacerle mucho daño. Así lo mandan las fuerzas internas que habitan en mí y así se hará, repito, no me cabe la menor duda.

Fundamentals de Ciencia de Polimeros
Author: Juan J. Iruin
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000725456
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
This is a new, basic introduction to polymer science. It is both comprehensive and readable. The authors are leading educators in this field with extensive backgrounds in industrial and academic polymer research. The text starts with a description of the types of microstructures found in polymer materials. This provides an understanding of some of the key features of the various mechanisms of homopolymerization and copolymerization which are discussed in following chapters. Also discussed in these chapters are the kinetics and statistics of polymerization, with a separate chapter on the characterization of chain structure by spectroscopic methods. The next part of the text deals with chain conformation, structure and morphology, leading to a discussion of crystallization, melting and glass transition. The discussion then moves from solid state to solution properties where solution thermodynamics is introduced. This provides the basis for discussion of the measurement of molecular weight by various solution methods. The final chapter deals with mechanical and rheological properties which are discussed from a phenomenological continuum approach and then in terms of a fundamental molecular perspective. Altogether, this new text provides a comprehensive, readable introduction to and overview of polymer science. It is well illustrated with schematics prepared for this text to help in the understanding of key concepts. It will provide a basic understanding of today's polymer science for technical and engineering personnel not already familiar with the subject, and a convenient update and overview for materials scientists.

Ending the Fossil Fuel Era
Author: Thomas Princen
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262028808
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
A provocative call for delegitimizing fossil fuels rather than accommodating them, accompanied by case studies from Ecuador to Appalachia and from Germany to Norway.Not so long ago, people North and South had little reason to believe that wealth from oil, gas, and coal brought anything but great prosperity. But the presumption of net benefits from fossil fuels is eroding as widening circles of people rich and poor experience the downside.A positive transition to a post-fossil fuel era cannot wait for global agreement, a swap-in of renewables, a miracle technology, a carbon market, or lifestyle change. This book shows that it is now possible to take the first step toward the post-fossil fuel era, by resisting the slow violence of extreme extraction and combustion, exiting the industry, and imagining a good life after fossil fuels. It shows how an environmental politics of transition might occur, arguing for going to the source rather than managing byproducts, for delegitimizing fossil fuels rather than accommodating them, for engaging a politics of deliberately choosing a post-fossil fuel world. Six case studies reveal how individuals, groups, communities, and an entire country have taken first steps out of the fossil fuel era, with experiments that range from leaving oil under the Amazon to ending mountaintop removal in Appalachia.

Una fusión entre Historia, Filosofía, Religión y Política desde el punto de vista inversa a como se las concibió dentro del desarrollo de la civilización, que trata de abrir el debate en un afán de reencauzar el destino de la humanidad, que compromete la propia existencia de la especie y de su medio ambiente. En el siglo XXI existe una acentuada crisis de sentido, impulsada por grupos superestructurales y secretos, que manejan los estados y sus mecanismos, sometiendo a los ciudadanos y tomando sus representaciones en nombre de la democracia y Dios, situación que contribuyen las religiones, la filosofía, la política y la historia.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Watching her friend dragged away in handcuffs, Josie couldn't believe for one second that Gretchen had killed that poor boy. Confession or not, someone else was involved. She would find out who… When the body of a young student is found on the driveway of a local Denton home, a photograph pinned to his collar, Detective Josie Quinn is first on the scene. The house belongs to Gretchen Palmer, a dedicated member of Josie’s team, missing for the last twenty-four hours. Working around the clock, Josie is stopped in her tracks when Gretchen hands herself in to the police. She knows that there’s no way Gretchen could ever be a killer, so why would she confess to a murder she didn’t commit? Digging deep into Gretchen’s secretive life, Josie uncovers a link between the boy, the photograph and a devastating case in Gretchen’s past. But just when Josie thinks she has it all figured out, the bodies of a young couple surface on the other side of town. Can Josie get to the truth in time to save her friend from a life in prison or certain death? Absolutely gripping, this unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author will leave you gasping for breath. A perfect read for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

Reading Cicero’s Final Years
Author: Christoph Pieper
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110716399
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
This volume contributes to the ongoing scholarly debate regarding the reception of Cicero. It focuses on one particular moment in Cicero’s life, the period from the death of Caesar up to Cicero’s own death. These final years have shaped Cicero’s reception in an special way, as they have condensed and enlarged themes that his life stands for: on the positive side his fight for freedom and the republic against mighty opponents (for which he would finally be killed); on the other hand his inconsistency in terms of political alliances and tendency to overestimate his own influence. For that reason, many later readers viewed the final months of Cicero's life as his swan song, and as representing the essence of his life as a whole. The fixed scope of this volume facilitates an analysis of the underlying debates about the historical character Cicero and his textual legacy (speeches, letters and philosophical works) through the ages, stretching from antiquity itself to the present day. Major themes negotiated in this volume are the influence of Cicero’s regular attempts to anticipate his later reception; the question of whether or not Cicero showed consistency in his behaviour; his debatable heroism with regard to republican freedom; and the interaction between philosophy, rhetoric and politics.
