Queen Mirthas

And the four runes of Karahar

By: JUAN PABLO ALVAREZ

After the apocalyptic Ragnarök, the best place of all seems to be Gimlé; a pacífica area where peace reigns and the gods live in harmony. Its palace welcomes virtuous souls of good will. Everything is calm. Seemingly nothing can alter the peace that has cost so much to achieve... But the horn has sounded. The daughter of the serpent is born and the sons of Odin and Thor are ready to go to battle. The world of the dead emerges with a new queen who will seek the power she has waited for centuries. The author of this novel has created a world based on Nordic mythology. In this adventure, he guarantees a vertiginous trip towards the new world created after the sunset of the gods and invites us to enter the new threats that will face the sons of Odin and Thor to achieve the so longed for balance of the worlds. Fire giants, beasts of the world of the dead and Nordic gods will take place in this story and together they will hold epic battles to obtain the so precious power. All of them fight for a unique domain: Mirthas.

Law, Literature and Political Philosophy in the Spanish Golden Age

A Reflection on Power

By: Julio Juan Ruiz

This collection of articles, thoroughly documented, analyses particular aspects of the Spanish 16th and 17th centuries. It discusses a range of topics, including the Catholic reason of state, anti-Machiavellianism, and royal power and its limits, from the point of view of Golden Age authors. This is a work where literature, law theory and political philosophy combine their efforts to offer an unusual portrait of power in Spanish society during a time of deep change.

Elecciones en Puerto Rico -- Tomo II (1952-1964)

The Architecture of Natural Cooling

By: Brian Ford,Rosa Schiano-Phan,Juan A. Vallejo

Overheating in buildings is commonplace. This book describes how we can keep cool without conventional air-conditioning: improving comfort and productivity while reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. It provides architects, engineers and policy makers with a ‘how-to’ guide to the application of natural cooling in new and existing buildings. It demonstrates, through reference to numerous examples, that natural cooling is viable in most climates around the world. This completely revised and expanded second edition includes: An overview of natural cooling past and present. Guidance on the principles and strategies that can be adopted. A review of the applicability of different strategies. Explanation of simplified tools for performance assessment. A review of components and controls. A detailed evaluation of case studies from the USA, Europe, India and China. This book is not just for the technical specialist, as it also provides a general grounding in how to avoid or minimise air-conditioning. Importantly, it demonstrates that understanding our environment, rather than fighting it, will help us to live sustainably in our rapidly warming world.

Virtues of the Indian/Virtudes del indio

An Annotated Translation

By: Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza

This important book is the first complete seventeenth-century treatise on Native Americans to be introduced, annotated, and translated into English. Presented in a parallel text translation, it brings the work of the controversial and powerful Bishop Juan de Palafox to non-Spanish speakers for the first time. A seminal document in the history of colonial Mexico and imperial Spain, Virtues of the Indian tells us as much about the Mexican natives as about the ideas, images, and representations upon which the Spanish Empire in America was built. Taken as a whole, this book will raise questions about the Spanish empire and the governance of New Spain's Indians. Even more significantly, it will complicate the prevailing view of Spanish imperialism and colonial society as one dominated by a unified and coherent ruling elite with common goals. The deeply-informed introduction, biographical essay, and annotations that accompany this vivid translation further explore the thoughts and actions of the dynamic and complex Palafox, contributing to a better knowledge of a key figure in the history of Spanish colonialism in the New World.
