Social media has radically transformed the way we communicate, consume content, and promote products. For independent authors, these platforms represent a unique opportunity to reach readers directly, without the need for traditional intermediaries like publishers or literary agents. In this chapter, we will explore how social media has revolutionized the publishing landscape, giving writers a stronger voice and a platform to share their work with the world.In the past, book publishing was a complex and costly process that was accessible only to a select few. Authors depended on publishers to promote and distribute their works, which limited their exposure to the public. Today, with the advent of social media, this dynamic has changed completely. Platforms like Facebook , Instagram , Twitter , and TikTok allow authors to build their own audiences, engage with readers in real time, and promote their books in a personalized and effective way.Furthermore, social media enables direct interaction with the public, something that was unimaginable a few decades ago. This closeness between author and reader creates a sense of community and loyalty that can be crucial to the success of a book. An author who knows how to use social media to engage their audience not only increases their sales, but also builds a strong and lasting personal brand.Social media has also democratized access to publishing. With free and accessible tools, anyone can share their ideas , write a book, and promote it globally. This has created a new type of author: one who is also an entrepreneur, who understands the importance of marketing and knows how to use social media to boost their success.Practical example: Create professional profiles on major platforms such as Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter . Share a short bio, highlight your work, and start posting content related to your book. Use a consistent profile image and a bio that reflects your brand as an author.Learn Much More...

La idea de este libro, publicado originalmente en italiano en 2018, nació de la constatación de la falta de un estudio del pulque elaborado e integrado desde la óptica de la historia de las drogas y la embriaguez.El pulque es producto de la fermentacion de la savia de algunas especies de plantas suculentas del genero agave. Desde epocas remotas ha sido la principal bebida embriagante de la poblacion del centro de Mexico y puede presumir de una historia fascinante y compleja profundamente arraigada en la mitologia, la etnohistoria, la religion y la filosofia de la poblacion precortesiana. De tal riqueza es su tipologia, denominaciones y fines de uso que origino una autentica y propia tradicion pulquera, de la que se han perdido varios elementos normativos, incluida la determinacion botanica de algunos ingredientes adicionales importantes que potenciaban o modulaban los efectos de la bebida o la comprension del real significado del "quinto pulque", la transgresion del limite socialmente aceptado de embriaguez, pero que ocultaba significados mas profundos que fueron enterrados junto con los centros ceremoniales y los ultimos poseedores de este conocimiento.

Monozuki sigue mejorando sus habilidades de vidente con la abuela Rin. Han pasado varias lunas desde la batalla en Tojinbo, su pequeño pueblo isleño, contra los Maeda y los demonios de hierro.Cuando florece el ginkgo del santuario del Ojo del Tigre ambas deben asistir: es el momento de convocar el torneo de los jefes de los clanes para escoger al nuevo Señor de Marfil, recordarles las promesas hechas a los espiritus y, sobre todo, para renovar la purificacion del dragon y que su mal siga enterrado y oculto por siempre.Mientras se celebra este concilio, Yoshio Maeda se adentrara en la Montaña de la Muerte para encontrar un arma con la que conquistar todas las islas y acabar con las alianzas de los clanes con los espiritus y los kaijus, y que, finalmente, el oscuro maestro Baku sea el nuevo Señor de Marfil.Zenko, un zorro muy sagaz, acompañara a Monozuki con una mision secreta del dios Zorro, poniendo en peligro el torneo y a si mismo por proteger la tradicion y las vidas de los kaijus.

Los aspectos financiero y competitivo han sido las tendencias principales en los estudios sobre gobierno corporativo. En contraste, la asociación con su forma original, el gobernanza o gobernanza, ha recibido menos atencion. De cualquier forma, las publicaciones sobre el gobierno corporativo incluyen lugares comunes de la discusion politica tales como el problema de agencia entre gerentes y propietarios de una organizacion y la asignacion de responsabilidades a sus miembros.Desde los albores del siglo pasado, la envergadura del gobierno corporativo se expandio hasta cobijar las responsabilidades de la organizacion con todos sus grupos de interes. De esta manera, el tema dejo de ser un asunto netamente interno para desbordarse hacia el entorno externo de la organizacion y, asi, se relaciono con la responsabilidad social organizacional. La morfologia de esta relacion se corresponde con los parametros del entorno donde la organizacion radica. En razon de ello, esta obra presenta sus hallazgos sobre la relacion entre gobierno corporativo y la responsabilidad social organizacional en el entorno latinoamericano, especificamente en el escenario de sus empresas mas destacadas: las multilatinas.Estas organizaciones presentan dos caracteristicas particulares. Su propiedad esta en manos de un bloque de propietarios mayoritario, en muchos casos se trata de un grupo familiar, y aun se encuentran en proceso de aprendizaje para la globalizacion. Las multilatinas han desarrollado su capacidad competitiva a partir de la resiliencia frente a las condiciones desfavorables de sus nichos de origen. En el escenario regional, ellas compiten contra multinacionales de fuerte musculo financiero, trayectoria y con una demanda fidelizada. Las condiciones expuestas marcan la naturaleza especifica tanto del gobierno corporativo como de la responsabilidad social organizacional de las multilatinas.Por lo anterior, la presente obra se concentra en la determinacion de las erogaciones en responsabilidad social organizacior9 en las multilatinas, a partir de la relacion entre el bloque de propietarios mayoritario y el gerente. Bajo la modalidad del estudio de caso de la Organizacion Carvajal y la metodologia de la generalizacion analitica, se presentan los argumentos que justifican la afirmacion segun la cual el amplio poder del bloque de propietarios mayoritario minimiza los problemas de agencia frente a los gerentes al momento de tal erogacion.

Estamos ante una verdadera guía para mejorar el desempeño y alcanzar resultados para vendedores, supervisores, mandos medios de ventas y para gerentes y directivos que abracen la comercializacion.

El lector conoce, sin duda, que en el Egipto faraónico de los ptolomeos, Eratóstenes halló la longitud de la circunferencia de la Tierra, asomándose a un pozo que reflejaba los rayos del Sol. Pero quiza le sorprenda saber que, de todo el antiguo mundo occidental, solo alli podia hacerse ese descubrimiento. Otra historia mil veces repetida cuenta que Tales de Mileto, con la sola ayuda de un palo, pudo determinar la altura de la Gran Piramide, pero un poco de astronomia plantea hoy serias dudas sobre la version popular. En esta obra se recogen muchas historias antiguas, porque es probable que la invencion de las matematicas pues invencion fue viniese impulsada en su origen por el deseo de medir el mundo. No en vano Aristarco, utilizando sus eclipses como una regla graduada, fue capaz de decir a sus coetaneos cuan lejos estaba el Sol y cuan cerca la Luna. Asi, de la mano de personajes como Tales de Mileto, Eratostenes, Al-Juarismi, Arquimedes, Bach y Beethoven, este libro nos pasea por estos y otros relatos relatos exactos, al decir de los autores para desvelarnos la belleza de las matematicas.

Los relatos que componen "Todo es demasiado" escapan del realismo imperante de la tradición local para inscribirse en el terreno del extrañamiento.En el mundo delineado por Briceño, los paradigmas de moral han sido desplazados para dar paso a un total vacio. No existe, no evidentemente, la condolencia ni el duelo por la partida o muerte, ni siquiera si esta es tragica, de los seres queridos. La vida, en estos textos, se desarrolla con implacable serenidad. Mas que cinismo, se trata de una especie de encubrimiento del dolor; este pareciera ser tan brutal que la unica forma de afrontarlo es asumiendo la perdida como algo sin importancia, casi natural. Esta negacion es una especie de regresion infantil que termina por plasmar una atmosfera verdaderamente enrarecida y perturbadora. Y no se le puede pedir nada mas.

Nebrija y Cisneros: gramática y humanismo | Francisco de Vitoria y la escuela de Salamanca | La utopía posible: Vasco de Quiroga y el Colegio Imperial de Tlatelolco | De imperio a nación: la Constitucion de Cadiz | Francisco Giner de los Rios y la libertad de catedraLa leyenda negra sigue pesando sobre España y lo hispano. No solamente fuera de sus fronteras en los paises donde se invento, sus viejos rivales europeos y sus herederos, sino tambien dentro, tanto en las naciones que fueron virreinatos de la antigua Monarquia Hispanica como en la propia España, revelando un pais y una comunidad cultural incapaces de reconciliarse con su historia. Un relato maniqueo oscurece, asi, grandes logros para el mundo. Frente a tanta critica interesada y feroz, los momentos luminosos deben ser tambien recordados para que podamos ver la imagen completa. Aqui se muestran cinco.El volumen arranca con Nebrija, que apuesta por el conocimiento del mundo clasico, y con Cisneros, otro titan de la epoca. Continua con Francisco de Vitoria y la Escuela de Salamanca, precursora de los derechos humanos y responsable de que la poblacion indigena de la America española sobreviviera y fuera evangelizada bajo la idea irrebatible de que todos somos iguales a los ojos de Dios. La utopia de los misioneros en la Nueva España tiene dos ejemplos concretos: la fundacion de una universidad para indigenas en Tlatelolco y el empeño de Vasco de Quiroga de llevar a la realidad las ideas de Tomas Moro. Prosigue con la Constitucion de Cadiz, primer codigo legal garantista del orbe hispano, y cierra con Francisco Giner de los Rios, que promovio la libertad de catedra en la universidad, contra la censura y los dogmas, como paso indispensable para la libertad del conocimiento.

Cada semana espera con alegría las clases de ese cura que es, para el, padre sustituto y fuente de esperanza. Pero, de repente, la fragil realidad se hunde.Acaba de estallar una revolucion comunista, y los religiosos son expulsados. La doctrina del partido, la servidumbre a la que obliga el poder revolucionario, sus estrictas reglas... infectan la vida de todos en el Congo, especialmente de los mas debiles. E lo que parece un golpe de suerte, dos mellizos que, como el, viven la la institucion, lo llevan con ellos a la capitan, Pointe-Noire. Alli ronda los mercados, entra a formar parte de una pandilla y se convierte, por momentos, en un satisfecho habitante de los bajos fondos. Hasta que conoce a una mujer inolvidable, Mama Fiat 500, madam que encabeza a un grupo de diez chicas jovenes del Zaire. Y, entonces si, su vida cambia definitivamente y la aventura se perfecciona.Traducida a mas de dies idiomas, Aji Picante es una de las mas grandes obras de la literatura africana contemporanea. Narrada en primera persona, conmovedora e intensa, con mirada lucida y picaresca, su escritura incisiva y vibrante es el vehiculo ideal para expresar las peripecias de su protagonista y la corrupcion e irracionalidad de ciertas ideas politicas.

Este manuscrito realiza, por lo tanto, un estudio analítico e interdisciplinar de diferentes representaciones y manifestaciones de la violencia de género en las artes. Actualizar y realizar relecturas de diferentes obras de arte (literarias, pictoricas, musicales, cinematograficas) resulta primordial de cara a reeducar, basandonos en nuevas perspectivas venidas de la reflexion academica y social, para construir de este modo un pensamiento justo e igualitario. Asi pues, la finalidad de esta publicacion reside, entre otras cosas, en sugerir materiales y reflexiones que permitan abordar la igualdad desde una perspectiva interseccional, suprimiendo sesgos y apostando por la epistemologia de un discurso que parta de la igualdad de genero.

Guittone dArezzo, Andrea da Grosseto y Faustino da Tredozio representan tres figuras atípicas dentro del vasto panorama de la literatura italiana.La decisión de reunir algunos de sus textos en esta publicacion nace no solo de la necesidad de devolver la atencion a autores que no ocupan el espacio que merecen dentro del canon literario, sino tambien, de la intencion de constituir una linea de escritos filoginos que representan las premisas y antecedentes del debate Querelle des Femmes que se desarrollo en Italia especialmente durante el Renacimiento.Sus obras permiten reflexionar sobre algunas cuestiones fundamentales en el contexto de la Querelle, como la necesidad de recuperar el papel de la mujer en la historia y en la vida cotidiana, la importancia de reconocer la deuda masculina hacia las mujeres, la obligacion de denunciar la subordinacion de lo femenino y de rediscutir las jerarquias y los equilibrios en las relaciones entre los sexos.
