Download or read book Times Gone By written by Vicente Pérez Rosales and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These memoirs trace the wild and adventurous life of Pérez Rosales from his childhood up to the 1860s. During that approximately half-century he saw and did more than a dozen ordinary men. At age eleven in Argentina he witnessed the executions of Luis and Juan Jose Carrera. From there, his activities and adventures took him on several journeys on sailing vessels around Cape Horn; to Paris, where he witnessed the July revolution of 1830; to various commercial endeavors including a distillery, the practice of medicine, and cattle smuggling; into service as an advisor to an Argentine warlord; as a miner for precious metals in the north of Chile; as participant in the California Gold Rush in 1849; as director of the government's project for German immigration and settlement in the wild south of Chile; and also as Chilean consul and immigration agent in Hamburg. Around the world, Rosales lived through many of his era's watershed moments. His exciting memoirs offer a chance to relive the rush and chaos of these times--from a much safer vantage.

Download or read book The Extent of Poverty in Latin America written by Oscar Altimir and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work originated in a research project for the measurement and analysis of income distribution in the Latin American countries, undertaken jointly by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the World Bank. The present paper presents estimates of the extent of absolute poverty for ten Latin American countries and for the region as a whole in the 1970s, on the basis of available household surveys and population censuses. They are based on country-specific poverty lines representing minimum acceptable levels of private consumption, drawn according to a food-based method. Such poverty lines - ranging from 150 to 250 dollars of annual household consumption per capita - express a normative definition of the absolute dimensions of poverty, partly based on expert appraisals and partly reflecting the actual behavior of low income households facing the life style projected by Latin American development. According to these estimates, 40 percent of Latin American households were poor at the beginning of the 1970s, the incidence of poverty being 26 percent in urban areas and 60 percent in rural areas. Urban poverty extended to more than one-third of urban households in some countries (Brazil, Colombia, Honduras) while affecting between 20 and 30 percent in others (Peru, Mexico, Venezuela), about 15 percent in Costa Rica and Chile and less than 10 percent in Argentina and Uruguay. The extent of poverty in rural areas would not be less than 20 percent in any case and would reach more than 60 percent in some countries. The corresponding poverty gaps were also estimated; in terms of total household income, they may represent manageable proportions (around 2-3 percent) in the better-off countries, but are in the 4-8 percent range in the bigger countries of the region and reach as much as 12 percent in Peru and 17 percent in Honduras.

Download or read book The Shadow University written by Alan Charles Kors and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-07-15 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities once believed themselves to be sacred enclaves, where students and professors could debate the issues of the day and arrive at a better understanding of the human condition. Today, sadly, this ideal of the university is being quietly betrayed from within. Universities still set themselves apart from American society, but now they do so by enforcing their own politically correct worldview through censorship, double standards, and a judicial system without due process. Faculty and students who threaten the prevailing norms may be forced to undergo "thought reform." In a surreptitious aboutface, universities have become the enemy of a free society, and the time has come to hold these institutions to account. The Shadow University is a stinging indictment of the covert system of justice on college campuses, exposing the widespread reliance on kangaroo courts and arbitrary punishment to coerce students and faculty into conformity. Alan Charles Kors and Harvey A. Silverglate, staunch civil libertarians and active defenders of free inquiry on campus, lay bare the totalitarian mindset that undergirds speech codes, conduct codes, and "campus life" bureaucracies, through which a cadre of deans and counselors indoctrinate students and faculty in an ideology that favors group rights over individual rights, sacrificing free speech and academic freedom to spare the sensitivities of currently favored groups. From Maine to California, at public and private universities alike, liberty and fairness are the first casualties as teachers and students find themselves in the dock, presumed guilty until proven innocent and often forbidden to cross-examine their accusers. Kors and Silverglate introduce us to many of those who have firsthand experience of the shadow university, including: The student at the center of the 1993 "Water Buffalo" case at the University of Pennsylvania, who was brought up on charges of racial harassment after calling a group of rowdy students "water buffalo" -- even though the term has no racial connotations. The Catholic residence adviser who was fired for refusing, on grounds of religious conscience, to wear a symbol of gay and lesbian causes. The professor who was investigated for sexual harassment when he disagreed with campus feminists about curriculum issues. The student who was punished for laughing at a statement deemed offensive to others and who was ordered to undergo "sensitivity training" as a result. The Shadow University unmasks a chilling reality for parents who entrust their sons and daughters to the authority of such institutions, for thinking people who recognize that vigorous debate is the only sure path to truth, and for all Americans who realize that when even one citizen is deprived of liberty, we are all diminished.

Download or read book Supuestos de contabilidad financiera written by Manuel Enrique Sansalvador Sellés and published by Universidad Miguel Hernández. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El objetivo de esta obra es facilitar el aprendizaje de aquellos que comiencen sus estudios contables mediante la resolución de 55 supuestos de contabilidad financiera. En su resolución no solo se contemplan las correspondientes anotaciones contables, sino que, cuando es preciso, se acompañan de las oportunas aclaraciones para su adecuada comprensión. Los distintos supuestos se presentan siguiendo un orden didáctico progresivo que permite bien seguir el proceso contable desde el inicio, bien seleccionar aquellos apartados en los que se precise profundizar. Para ello los capítulos siguen el temario de la asignatura “Contabilidad Financiera” impartida en los Grados de ADE, DADE, Derecho y Relaciones Laborales de la Universidad Miguel Hernández, pero se adapta de manera general a los diferentes planes de estudios de las distintas universidades. Comienza con el estudio del patrimonio de la empresa y el método contable, aportando diversos supuestos prácticos para facilitar la comprensión de los conceptos en los que se basa la partida doble. A continuación se aborda la determinación del resultado tanto en empresas de servicios como en empresas comerciales. Seguidamente el capítulo dedicado al ciclo contable se centra en la práctica de la regularización contable, posiblemente la parte más complicada para quién comienza a estudiar contabilidad. Para repasar la normalización contable en general, y el estudio del Plan General de Contabilidad en particular, se propone la realización de un test de 50 preguntas. Por último se abordan diversos aspectos de interés como son la contabilidad de nóminas, del IVA y del impuesto sobre beneficios. Si bien son muchos y muy variados los supuestos utilizados para facilitar la comprensión de todos estos temas, la obra concluye con un capítulo final donde se facilitan diversos casos prácticos completos que permiten así recapitular todo lo visto con anterioridad. Aunque el libro se dirige principalmente al alumnado universitario que comienza sus estudios contables, también constituye una herramienta práctica muy interesante para la formación de estudiantes no universitarios de Bachillerato o ciclos formativos de Formación Profesional, opositores que necesitan el conocimiento de esta disciplina o en general para cualquier persona que desea practicar los fundamentos de la contabilidad.
