Traveling with Che Guevara: The Making of a Revolutionary (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21583458): In 1952 Alberto Granado, a young doctor, and his friend Ernesto Guevara, a 23-year-old medical student from a distinguished Buenos Aires family, decided to explore their continent. They set off from Cordoba in Argentina on a Norton 500cc motorbike and traveled though Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. The duo´s adventures vary from the suspenseful (stowing away on a cargo ship, exploring Incan ruins) to the comedic (falling in love, drinking, fighting...) to the serious (volunteering as firemen and at a leper colony). They worked as day laborers along the way--as soccer coaches, medical assistants, and furniture movers. The poverty and exploitation of the native population started the process that was to turn Ernesto--the debonair, fun-loving student--into Che, the revolutionary who had a profound impact on the history of several nations. Originally published in Spanish in Cuba in 1978, the first English translation was published by Random House UK in 2003. The movie, based on Granado´s and Che´s diaries, directed by Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun), was produced by Robert Redford and others. Shown at the Sundance Film Festival, it generated great reviews and a frenzied auction for distribution rights, which was won by Focus Features. Granado, now 82, was a consultant to Salles during the production. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 11.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21867625): Hundreds of deaths have been attributed to a heart-shaped pill, White Hearts, the newest and deadliest form of the designer drug Ecstasy. To combat the threat, the newly-elected president of the United States authorizes a special task force under the direction of his Drug Czar, General Mitchell O´Toole, to locate the drug´s source. Although the physical injuries he suffered during a blown mission in Colombia three years earlier had long since healed, former undercover DEA agent Jack Keller still wasn´t fully recovered from the psychological trauma of the incident. However, when a helicopter lands in the compound of the Idaho fishing lodge where he lives and O´Toole steps out, he suspects that his days of self-imposed retirement may have temporarily come to an end. Despite having only two clues with which to work -- a three-year-old letter found buried in DEA files and a mysterious reporter known only as Ziggy who knows more about the drug than the DEA -- Jack begins looking into the late-night dance scene where the drug thrives. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 27.95 bestellen! |

Latin America´s Political Economy of the Possible: Beyond Good Revolutionaries and Free Marketeers (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21091523): Santiso describes the creation in Chile and Brazil of institutions and policies that are connected to social realities rather than theories found in economics textbooks. Mexico, too, has created its own fiscal and monetary policies and institutions and has the additional benefit of being a party to NAFTA. Santiso outlines the development strategies unfolding in Latin America, from Chile and Brazil to Colombia and Uruguay, strategies anchored externally by treaties and trade agreements and internally by strong fiscal and monetary institutions and policies. And he charts the less successful trajectory of other countries, including Argentina, Venezuela, and Bolivia, that are still in thrall to Utopian but impossible miracle cures. Santiso´s account of this emerging transformation describes Latin America at a crossroads. Beginning in 2006, elections in Brazil, Mexico, and elsewhere may signal whether Latin America will decisively choose the political economy of the possible over the political economy of the impossible. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21914511): Following the footsteps of a writer persecuted because of his ideas and tortured by his own frustrations, a young Catalan woman embarks on an adventure in the jungles of Colombia where her familiar world shatters and from which nothing emerges unharmed. Confronted by solitude in a region where it rains incessantly, she discovers, first in her lover, then in the people around her, the alarming signs of a devastating war. In a narrative that swings between intimacy and horror, she bears witness to a hell in which she abandons everything except the language she has had to reinvent, as her only refuge, to speak about the thousand new faces death has shown her. Nuria Amat was born in Barcelona, where she now lives. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 11.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (21168032): Memorable, haunting characters in memorable, haunting locales fill the pages of Jaroslav Cervenka´s award-winning collection of stories. Cervenka takes us from Chocu, the remotest jungle region of Colombia, to the infamous site of the Golden Triangle in Thailand, stopping along the way in Prague´s Lesser Town, the island of Gore off the coast of Dakar, a village bar in Kamikawa, heaven, and Minneapolis. These stories are populated with well-meaning characters like Jindra, who disappears up the river in Papua, New Guinea, towards ´´bad rapids and hostile folks who stick to some of the old, unpleasant dietary traditions, ´´ and the Bavarian professor who enjoys an idyllic, academic life, yet yearns to ´´disappear to some malarian hole at the edge of a jungle, with sauna-like heat and humidity, about as healthy as a hospital sewer, under a leaden sky that pours five meters of water per year on the palm-fronded roofs of some sorry shack sticking out of a permanent mudpie.´´ Cervenka´s characters are imperfect specimens of humanity, politically and otherwise incorrect, and his effortless revelation of their kindness leaves the reader cautiously optimistic and fully entertained. The Revenge of Underwater Man speaks to the optimist and adventurer in us all. This collection is edgy, erudite, irreverent, and funny -- a rewarding read for those who treasure the true and the exceptional. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 21.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21421115): Computers are at the heart of war today: the U.S. Navy relies on Palm Pilots as much as fighter pilots. American cybersaboteurs unleashed computer viruses against Slobodon Milosevic in Yugoslavia. Even Marxist guerrillas in Colombia reported that the computers they used to track kidnappings were Y2K compliant. A visionary and disarming overview of cyberwar in the 21st Century, Peace, War, and Computers looks beyond the gadgets of techno-warfare and the early predictions of a purely ´cyberspace´ war to reveal how electronic culture has changed the way we wage war and peace. Drawing on informatics and chaos theory, Chris Hables Gray shows that, despite our Star-Wars fantasies, postmodern war is a complex system that cannot be controlled or predicted from outside. Unmanned aircraft-soon to be followed by remote-control naval fleets-may appear to make warfare more sterile, less bloody. But as the fighting in Somalia showed, the highest technology can´t win the simplest conflict. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 22.95 bestellen! |

International Criminal Accountability and the Rights of Children (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22512531): Children and young persons are increasingly being targeted for trafficking, sexual exploitation, recruitment as child soldiers, and other abuses. Children prove to be particularly vulnerable in situations of armed conflict, such as Darfur, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Philippines, Nepal, and Colombia. A rich combination of practitioners (including ICC, ICTY and SCSL prosecutors) and academics explore to what extent international law instruments and international criminal accountability mechanisms are useful for countering violations of children´s rights during and after armed conflicts. They also analyze to what extent the tendency of profiling children´s rights much more strongly than before (mainly under the umbrella of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and in the form of child rights-based approaches) converges with the features of international criminal accountability mechanisms such as the International Criminal Court, the Yugoslavia and Rwanda Tribunals, and the Special Court for Sierra Leone. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 72.95 bestellen! |
