WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING... “I couldn’t put it down...this book is non-stop excitement right up to the last page!” “It is a well-written, thoughtful book that reveals the author’s theories on foreign policy through an excellent work of fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EL NÚMERO SIETE ES LA EXPRESIÓN de algunas realidades naturales que nos rodean: las notas musicales, los colores del arcoíris, los días de la semana, los planetas que acompañan a la Tierra en el Sistema Solar, los continentes, y cada uno de estos últimos pueden seleccionarse siete montañas, siete islas y siete volcanes que destacan por su altura, situación geográfica y remotas regiones y lo aislado de su ubicación. En ello consiste el singular reto de la Trilogía Mundial. Completarlo requiere de escalar las siete cumbres más altas de los continentes, las cumbres de las siete islas más grandes y los siete volcanes más altos del mundo. CUMBRES Aconcagua, en Argentina Kilimanjaro, en Tanzania Denali, en Alaska Elbrus, en Rusia Carstensz, en Irian Jaya, y Kosciuszko, en Australia Vinson, en la Antártida Everest, en la frontera de Nepal y el Tíbet. CUMBRES DE ISLAS Kerinci, en Sumatra Kinabalu, en Malasia Wilhelm, en Nueva Guinea Fuji, en Japón Tête Blanche, en Baffin Gunnbjørn Fjeld, en Groenlandia Maromokotro y Ben Nevis, en Madagascar y Gran Bretaña VOLCANES Pico de Orizaba, en México Nevado Ojos del Salado, en Chile Elbrus, en Rusia Damavand, en Irán Giluwe, en Papúa Nueva Guinea Kilimanjaro, en Tanzania Sidley, en Antártida Lo más singular de este reto es el hecho de que, hasta el momento, solo el guatemalteco Jaime Viñals lo ha completado (añadiendo cumbres, como la del monte Kosciuszko en Australia y el monte Ben Nevis, en Gran Bretaña, por falta de consensos de su altitud). Puede que el número siete esté rodeado de un misticismo de perfección o divinidad, pero para el autor, han sido la determinación y perseverancia las virtudes que lo han ayudado a completar el reto, pues entre 1995 y el 2023, su conquista de cumbres constante ha sido un recorrido de veintiocho años de planeación y esfuerzos incansables. Esta obra es, pues, no solo la celebración de un éxito sin precedentes y la narración de experiencias con las que la mayoría de nosotros solo soñamos, sino también un testimonio de que cada cima requiere una cuota de sacrificios y el recordatorio de que no existen caminos en línea recta perpetua, y que altibajos, sudor y lágrimas pavimentan cada uno de ellos. Ojalá este compendio de diarios de ascensión inspire a más de uno a alcanzar las cimas de su propio recorrido, con los ojos fijos en la meta trazada.

This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 13, 1985, catastrophic mudflows swept down the slopes of the erupting Nevado del Ruiz volcano, destroying structures in their paths. Various estimates of deaths ranged as high as 24,000 residents. Though the nature and extent of risk posed by the mudflows to local communities were well documented before the event and extensive efforts had been made to communicate this information to those at risk, the affected communities were caught largely unaware. This volume analyzes the disaster's many aspects: the extent, constitution, and behavior of the mudflows; the nature of damage to structures; the status of the area's disaster warning system; and the extent of the area's disaster preparedness, emergency response actions, and disaster relief effortsâ€"both at the time of the disaster and in the first few months following the event.

Download or read book Under the Volcano written by Malcolm Lowry and published by New Amer Library. This book was released on 1984 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Firmin, a former British consul, has come to Quauhnahuac, Mexico. His debilitating malaise is drinking, an activity that has overshadowed his life. On the most fateful day of the consul's life--the Day of the Dead, 1938--his wife, Yvonne, arrives in Quauhnahuac, inspired by a vision of life together away from Mexico and the circumstances that have driven their relationship to the brink of collapse. She is determined to rescue Firmin and their failing marriage, but her mission is further complicated by the presence of Hugh, the consul's half brother, and Jacques, a childhood friend. The events of this one significant day unfold against an unforgettable backdrop of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical. Under the Volcano remains one of literature's most powerful and lyrical statements on the human condition, and a brilliant portrayal of one man's constant struggle against the elemental forces that threaten to destroy him.
