Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK The mystery in Central and Van Buren has been solved and the worlds of Will Scott and his son Josh are returning back to normal a year later. Their house mother, Maria Garcia, has watched as the deck re-shuffles in their lives; her daughter and Will’s part-time girlfriend, Teresa Garcia, has left for Washington, DC to get away from her past. There she meets and falls in love with a wealthy British diplomat from an old European family. She decides to come home on assignment one last time, and that’s when her story and her background begin to unravel. At the same time, Carol Simmons, Will’s experiment in unrequited love, also returns to Phoenix at the same time. Will thinks she’s finally come home and, more importantly, come home to him. However, she also returns home to Phoenix with a new friend, the beautiful and exotic Erica Xue. Have wires been crossed, signals mixed and wrong messages sent? What should have been a homecoming to remember soon turns sour. As the players begin their courtship anew, new players enter as old players exit. Why did the women show up when they did? Is there a connection between Carol and her friend and an FBI investigation headed up by Teresa Garcia? Mystery and intrigue build as new revelations come to light. Angela di Benedetto has also reappeared and, with the approval of her grandfather, Frank Scarlatti, has taken up with Will. The aging mobster has gone straight and has become great friends and a client of Will Scott. Will also became an instant billionaire when both his friend Jack Peterson, and his wife, Marla, died and left everything to him. As more and more characters get involved in the intrigue, the CIA suddenly makes an appearance and Will becomes a target of international intrigue. Always wanting to protect the family he loves, Will gets involved with the FBI, the CIA, the mob and … Russians. The novel is beautifully set in Phoenix, Arizona in the mid-nineties at the end of the Cold War. Teresa Garcia is a thriller of epic proportions.

Download or read book Address in Portuguese and Spanish written by Martin Hummel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume provides the first systematic comparative approach to the history of forms of address in Portuguese and Spanish, in their European and American varieties. Both languages share a common history—e.g., the personal union of Philipp II of Spain and Philipp I of Portugal; the parallel colonization of the Americas by Portugal and Spain; the long-term transformation from a feudal to a democratic system—in which crucial moments in the diachrony of address took place. To give one example, empirical data show that the puzzling late spread of Sp. usted ‘you (formal, polite)’ and Pt. você ‘you’ across America can be explained for both languages by the role of the political and military colonial administration. To explore these new insights, the volume relies on an innovative methodology, as it links traditional downstream diachrony with upstream diachronic reconstruction based on synchronic variation. Including theoretical reflections as well as fine-grained empirical studies, it brings together the most relevant authors in the field.

Book excerpt: A young woman is killed in an apparent traffic accident in the mountains outside of the city of Granada, Spain. Her brother, who heads up the Attack on Principle training unit of the U.S. Secret Service, travels to Spain to bring her body back to America. There, and in the company of a female lieutenant in the National Police Force, it is discovered that there may have been foul play associated with his sister Ginas death. Soon, the consequence of this incident generates a cascade of mysterious murders that confounds local authorities and shuts down all leads to why Gina Cerone was killed. Eugene Cerone, after a thirty year career in the Secret Service, retires so that he can participate in the investigation of Ginas apparent murder. Working with Lieutenant Mercedes Garcia Rico, an attractive, strong willed and competent investigator, the two uncover an unfathomable conspiracy that dates back to the time the Moors surrendered their kingdom in Spain to the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabela in 1492. Driven first by the mission to bring the killer of his sister to justice, Cerone is forced to confront a true evil empire, one that could threaten the stability of an allied nation, Europe as well as the security of the United States. Without official sanction from either government, Cerone builds an unlikely support network and investigative team that includes resources from the Secret Service, a Hollywood film studio, the CIA and the Spanish Police Scientific Unit. Innovative behavioral analysis techniques, financial forensics and intelligence systems are used to link historical events and Arabian fables to crimes and conspiracies of the 21st century. Cerone and Lieutenant Garcia must decipher fact from fable, evidence from whispered rumors and leads from legends, to solve the mystery and stop a silent revolution and convince both Spanish and American authorities, that the conspiracy is real and not fantasy.

Download or read book The Message Within written by Herbert Bless and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative book provides the first comprehensive and informative overview of the role of various subjective experiences in social cognition and behavior, and argues that the study of such experiences may be one of the key unifying themes of social psychology. Based on recent theoretical and empirical developments in the discipline, this select group of leading international researchers surveys extensive evidence and shows that subjective experiences play a key role in most aspects of social cognition and social behavior. The book contains five main sections, discussing the role of subjective experiences in social information processing (Part 1), their influence on memory (Part 2) and their role in intergroup contexts (Part 3). The role of affective experiences in social thinking and behavior is analyzed (Part 4), and the influence of subjective experiences on the development and change of attitudes and stereotypes is also addressed (Part 5).

Download or read book Sweet Reinforced and Fortified Wines written by Fabio Mencarelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wines from Grape Dehydration is the first of its kind in the field of grape dehydration - the controlled drying process which produces a special group of wines. These types of wine are the most ancient, made in the Mediterranean basin, and are even described in Herodotus. Until few years ago, it was thought that these wines – such as Pedro Ximenez, Tokai, Passito, and Vin Santo – were the result of simple grape drying, because the grapes were left in the sun, or inside greenhouses that had no controls over temperature, relative humidity or ventilation. But Amarone wine, one of the most prized wines in the world, is the first wine in which the drying is a controlled process. This controlled process – grape dehydration – changes the grape at the biochemical level, and involves specialist vine management, postharvest technology and production processes, which are different from the typical wine-making procedure. After a history of grape dehydration, the book is then divided into two sections; scientific and technical. The scientific section approaches the subjects of vineyard management and dehydration technology and how they affect the biochemistry and the quality compounds of grape; as well as vinification practices to preserve primary volatiles compounds and colour of grape. The technical section is devoted to four main classes of wine: Amarone, Passito, Pedro Ximenez, and Tokai. The book then covers sweet wines not made by grape dehydration, and the analytical/sensorial characteristics of the wines. A concluding final chapter addresses the market for these special wines. This book is intended for wineries and wine makers, wine operators, postharvest specialists, vineyard managers/growers, enology/wine students, agriculture/viticulture faculties and course leaders and food processing scientists
