Her birth was mankind's greatest breakthrough. Her life is man's greatest threat. Josephine Morrow is Girl One, the first of nine Miracle Babies conceived without male DNA on an experimental commune known as the Homestead. The Girls were raised at the Homestead in the shadow of controversy – plagued by zealots calling them aberrations – until a suspicious fire claimed the lives of three people, leaving the survivors to scatter across the United States. Years later, upon learning that her mother has gone missing, Josie sets off on a desperate road trip, tracking down the only people who might help: her estranged sisters. Tracing clues her mother left behind, they journey back through their past, uncovering secrets about their origins and unlocking devastating abilities they never knew they had. But someone out there is determined to stop Josie reaching the truth about what really happened at that ranch – and where her mother is now. A rousing tale of love, ambition, power, and the extraordinary bonds of sisterhood, Girl One combines the provocative imagination of Naomi Alderman’s The Power with the compelling, atmospheric storytelling of The Girls.

Este libro nace de la Tesis Doctoral La aplicación del marketing político 3.0. El caso del éxito de Podemos y Ciudadanos en las elecciones de 2014, 2015 y 2016, presentada en el 2017, la cual obtuvo la calificación de Sobresaliente Cum Laude y la nominación al Premio Nacional.Si bien, la irrupción de otro nuevo partido (VOX) con representación en el Parlamento de Andalucía, resultante de las elecciones de 2018 (con 10.8% de los votos y 12 escaños) hizo que las autoras se planteasen la necesidad de ampliar la investigación arriba referida para comprobar en qué medida este nuevo partido había generado una nueva transformación. A caso había cambiado VOX el paradigma del marketing?, había perfeccionado el marketing político 3.0 creado por Podemos y Ciudadanos? A estas cuestiones y otras muchas, damos respuesta en esta monografía.Es un libro de marketing político, no un libro de ideas políticas.

'Does the world seem right, to you?'Years ago, Dana Mayer had a vision of a better world: one where women are in charge. Now her manifesto, The Quickening, has established the rules for a new order, designed to elevate and protect women. A genteel and peaceful society that prioritises nature, good manners and aesthetics. Of course, in order for women to maintain control, the freedoms of men have been necessarily limited. Arthur Alden loves Dana Mayer but hates the world she has created. But can he find a way to resist, without losing everything? And with Dana intent on making men pay reparations for their past crimes, can Arthur be allowed to live without punishment?

Muchos analistas quisieron ver en la emergencia de Vox una suerte de espejo de los fenómenos de extrema derecha europeos, trasladando al caso español profecías ideológicas y electorales que poco se corresponden con la realidad local. Este trabajo realizado por jóvenes investigadores ataca al punto de flotación de esta comparación burda. La extrema derecha europea, pese a ser relativamente heterogénea, comparte dos características esenciales. Por un lado, una ideología con componentes culturales y económicos que defiende un Estado de Bienestar para los nativos, y por el otro, una base electoral fundamentalmente obrera. Mediante un riguroso análisis electoral y geográfico, el hallazgo principal de este libro demuestra que Vox no comparte ninguna de estas dos características y por lo tanto no responde a las dinámicas de éxito e implantación de la extrema derecha europea. Vox es un partido ultraconservador económicamente neoliberal y, en consecuencia, su base electoral no es fundamentalmen

Although rock 'n roll is America's all-time leading cultural export half of the classic rock sound ä hard-hitting skintight audacious and vibrant ä was born across the pond. Musician journalist and writer Dave Hunter's ÊThe British Amp Invasion: How Marshall Hiwatt Vox and More Changed the Sound of MusicÊ charts the forty-plus year confluence of British industrial ingenuity and popular culture that grew a minor also-ran offshore industry into a true world leader. Art inspired engineering engineering influenced art and as both evolved at breakneck speed the finest amplifiers in the world were devised and refined on the British Isles. The symbiotic relationship born of this partnership produced the most powerful music ever known to mankind ä a sound that still resonates today in the most literal sense possible. Hunter's original account provides a ground-level perspective of the simultaneous development of an adolescent audio industry and a nascent musical style documenting their twin struggle to find their footing and stride forward. Rich with behind-the-scenes accounts and high-resolution images of the era's greatest (and highly collectible) amplifiers many of which have never been told or seen before this book is a welcome addition to the libraries of audio aficionados guitarists bassists and other musicians classic rock fans collectors of vintage gear and anyone with an eye for fine photography and an ear for compelling histories.

Americans have long been enthralled by visions of the apocalypse. Will the world end through nuclear war, environmental degradation, and declining biodiversity? Or, perhaps, through the second coming of Christ, rapture of the faithful, and arrival of the Antichrist—a set of beliefs known as dispensationalist premillennialism? These seemingly competing apocalyptic fantasies are not as dissimilar as we might think. In fact, Lisa Vox argues, although these secular and religious visions of the end of the world developed independently, they have converged to create the landscape of our current apocalyptic imagination. In Existential Threats, Vox assembles a wide range of media—science fiction movies, biblical tractates, rapture fiction—to develop a critical history of the apocalyptic imagination from the late 1800s to the present. Apocalypticism was once solely a religious ideology, Vox contends, which has secularized in response to increasing technological and political threats to American safety. Vox reads texts ranging from Christianity Today articles on ecology and the atomic bomb to Dr. Strangelove, and from Mary Shelley's The Last Man to the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, demonstrating along the way that conservative evangelicals have not been as resistant to science as popularly believed and that scientists and science writers have unwittingly reproduced evangelical eschatological themes and scenarios in their own works. Existential Threats argues that American apocalypticism reflects and propagates our ongoing debates over the authority of science, the place of religion, uses of technology, and America's evolving role in global politics.

En los últimos años, la política española ha sido testigo de un fenómeno sorprendente y, para algunos controvertido: el ascenso meteórico de VOX. Un partido político que, de forma combativa, ha logrado irrumpir con fuerza en el sistema electoral español con unas ideas y valores diferentes a los que actualmente se defienden en el escenario político.En el epicentro de este fenómeno se encuentra Santiago Abascal, un líder carismático, enérgico y transformador que ha traído propuestas nuevas y disruptivas, capitalizando el descontento, la insatisfacción y la desatención de amplios sectores de la sociedad.Este libro, en parte se centra en el concepto de liderazgo en el entorno de la política y, en especial, en el de la creación, desarrollo y consolidación del partido político VOX, liderado por Santiago Abascal, que, contracorriente, irrumpe y se consolida en la distendida sociedad española.También, analiza el entorno político y social ante el que Santiago Abascal ha reaccionado,

Part of the popular “Wilson the Pug” series, which sold nearly 70,000 copies as a hardcover in the early 2000s. First time in paperback. The smaller trim size will make a great gift book—the popularity of pugs as a favored dog breed has soared 170 percent since 2005, which should only increase sales from the original series. Vox magazine said of the publics’ pug infatuation: “The pug doesn’t need to play the piano or clumsily fall off the table. It wins love simply by having a lot of extra skin and a smushed face.”

Bulgarian writer and international migration expert Yva Alexandrova tells the story of Eastern Europeans in the UK, and argues that progressive politics needs to be grounded in migrants’ actual experiences and not political expediency. She shows how attitudes to immigration have changed in the last twenty years in the wake of Brexit and a new wave of nativism that has swept across Britain, and makes a passionate and vivid argument for migrants as full participants in social and political life. At a time when racism, xenophobia and nationalism dominate politics in the UK and around the world, Here to Stay avoids the usual racist vox-pops and sensationalist political debate and instead tells the stories of the people whose voices rarely feature in debates about immigration: the migrants themselves.

Este libro es, principalmente, un intento de rendir homenaje a Blas Piñar, único Diputado patriota y católico (militante) que ha tenido el Congreso de los Diputados desde la muerte de Franco hasta nuestros días, cuando se cumplen cien años de su nacimiento. Pero, además, este libro analiza la sociedad española de hoy, y sus actores sociales y medios de comunicación, con una crítica feroz a los partidos políticos, a los que el autor atribuye, buena parte de los problemas que aquejan a los ciudadanos.Por último, la obra hace un intento de comparar el discurso político de Blas Piñar con el de Santiago Abascal, líder de VOX, y reflexiona sobre la ideología de este partido como posible heredero del patriotismo que ya fue cercado y demonizado durante los años de la Transición.
