The publication of this book collection by Prof. Judivan J. Vieira, PhD, is driven more by mission than editorial pursuits. The research is composed by five volumes, and it is the result of the authors willful work in a field of study that has been his passion since his graduation in law school in 1993. Corruption is inherent to the human being, and according to the author, it is a metastatic cancer within the rights of a democratic society. Throughout the five volumes, Judivan Vieira analyzes the various perspectives of this disease that delays and wipes out nonhegemonic countries and threatens developed countries. In the last volume of the collection, the author offers the solution to remediate this disease of the soul, which prevents social well-being and relegates us to live in formal democracies.

Under the Franco regime (1939-1976), films produced in Spain were of poor quality, promoted the regime’s agenda, or were heavily censored. After the dictator’s death, the Spanish film industry transitioned into a new era, one in which artists were able to more freely express themselves and tackle subjects that had been previously stifled. Today, films produced in Spain are among the most highly regarded in world cinema. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Spanish Films features nearly 300 entries on the written by a host of international scholars and film critics. Beginning with movies released after Franco’s death, this volume documents four decades of films, directors, actresses and actors of Spanish cinema. Offering a comprehensive survey of films, the entries address such topics as art, culture, society and politics. Each includes comprehensive production details and provides brief suggestions for further reading. Through its examination of the films of the post-Franco period, this volume offers readers valuable insights into Spanish history, politics, and culture. An indispensable guide to one of the great world cinemas, The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Spanish Films will be of interest to students, academics, and the general public alike.

Esteban Herrera Iranzo (Barranquilla, Colombia; 1950- ) Procedente de una familia de periodistas y abogados, "El Narrador de La Arenosa", como es conocido en el medio literario, sintió desde muy joven una gran afición por el estudio de la comprensión, interpretación y representación del humano en su reacción sentimental al mundo que lo rodea. Estudió Ciencias Jurídicas, y Dibujo y Pintura, en su país natal; lo cual le valió para desempeñarse en algunos cargos, como el de Director del Instituto Municipal de Cultura de Soledad, Departamento del Atlántico, y Profesor Catedrático de Diplomado en Derecho Notarial de la Universidad Simón Bolívar, en Barranquilla. Para ese tiempo escribió para el periódico "La Libertad", artículos relacionados con los cambios que la modernidad imprimía a la familia, y sobre diferentes aspectos de la vida social en la historia colombiana. Mas, fueron sus obras literarias "Olgo" y "San Juan y la Burra. El apóstol que llegó tarde", las que le situaron en el plano de los grandes escritores del país, por su extraordinaria narrativa y gran aporte al patrimonio cultural. Su ensayo "Neoliberalismo, Familia y Ruptura de la Pareja", ha servido por años como texto de consulta para profesionales que se especializan en Derecho de Familia colombiano. A comienzos del 2003, llegó a Miami con su esposa y un hijo menor. Allí realizó estudios de Arte Dramático, en "Prometeo", Miami Dade Community College. Algún tiempo después se estableció en Reading, Pensilvania, ciudad donde inicialmente escribió para el Periódico "La Voz", y la revista empresarial "Viwinco" y en la que ha escrito dos libros, "La Franciscana" (inédita) y "La Primate", obra ésta que hoy lanza al mundo.

“We walked toward the part of the library where the air smelled as if it had been interred for years….. Finally, we got to the hallway where the wooden floor was the creakiest, and we sensed a strange whiff of excitement and fear. It smelled like a creature from a bygone time. It smelled like a dragon.” Thirteen-year-old Juan’s favorite things in the world are koalas, eating roast chicken, and the summer-time. This summer, though, is off to a terrible start. First, Juan’s parents separate and his dad goes to Paris. Then, as if that wasn’t horrible enough, Juan is sent away to his strange Uncle Tito’s house for the entire break! Uncle Tito is really odd: he has zigzag eyebrows; drinks ten cups of smoky tea a day; and lives inside a huge, mysterious library. One day, while Juan is exploring the library, he notices something inexplicable and rushes to tell Uncle Tito. “The books moved!” His uncle drinks all his tea in one gulp and, sputtering, lets his nephew in on a secret: Juan is a Princeps Reader––which means books respond magically to him––and he’s the only person capable of finding the elusive, never-before-read Wild Book. Juan teams up with his new friend Catalina and his little sister, and together they delve through books that scuttle from one shelf to the next, topple over unexpectedly, or even disappear altogether to find The Wild Book and discover its secret. But will they find it before the wicked, story-stealing Pirate Book does?
