Spanish is the third most-spoken language in the world (after Mandarin Chinese and English), with around 500 million speakers. Originating in Spain and spoken by most residents there, it has slightly different pronunciations from the rest of the world''s Spanish speakers, as well as a few vocabulary differences. It is also an official language in Mexico and all of Central America except Belize (though it is widely understood there as well). It is also an official language of many South American countries, with exceptions for Brazil, the Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. Spanish is generally widely understood to some level in all those countries as well. In the Caribbean, Spanish is spoken in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Spanish is also a first language for many people in the United States, especially in California, Texas, South Florida, and elsewhere in the Southwest-it is a co-official language of New Mexico. There are around 50 million Spanish speakers (including native and second language speakers) in the U.S., making it the second largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world after Mexico. Additionally, Spanish is an official language in the African country of Equatorial Guinea. A Western Romance language, Spanish is closely related to and somewhat mutually intelligible with the other Romance languages, such as Catalan, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. English and Spanish share variants of approximately one third of their words (via Latin), although the pronunciation and writing style tend to be very different. spanish phrasebook spanish phrase book pocket spanish spanish phrases spanish travel book

The Black Hole Book is your guide to the mysteries of Deep Space in astrological interpretation. These celestial powerhouses are revealed as important formative agents, both in our character and in the events unfolding in the world around us. With extensive interpretive material on Black Hole interaction with each planet that can be applied to the birth chart, supported by detailed examples from celebrity charts and current events, The Black Hole Book also delves into cutting edge astrophysical theory to explain the scientific background on how these energy transducers operate and the effect they have in our lives. Whether amateur or beginning student, novice or seasoned astrological professional, The Black Hole Book offers something for everyone, and opens a window into a dynamic level of celestial functioning underpinning the planetary energies of our solar system. Astrologer Alex Miller has encapsulated more than twenty years of active research and counseling with these anomalies to provide a roadmap to the inner workings of that most elusive of celestial phenomena, the Black Hole.

Little Nobody (Arabic edition)

The new novel from Australia’s highly acclaimed literary treasure is an extraordinarily powerful exploration of tragedy, betrayal, the true nature of friendship and the beauty of lasting love “Me and Ben had been mates since we was boys and if it come to it I knew I would have to be on his side.” Bobby Blue is caught between loyalty to his only friend, Ben Tobin, and his boss, Daniel Collins, the new constable at Mount Hay. “Ben was not a big man but he was strong and quick as a snake. He had his own breed of pony that was just like him, stocky and reliable on their feet.” Bobby understands the people and the ways of Mount Hay, while Collins studies the country as an archaeologist might, bringing his coastal values to the hinterland. Bobby says, “I do not think Daniel would have understood Ben in a million years.” Increasingly bewildered and goaded to action by his wife, Constable Collins takes up his shotgun and his Webley pistol to deal with Ben. And when Bobby’s love for Collins’s willful young daughter Irie is exposed, it leads to tragic consequences for them all. Miller’s exquisite depictions of the country of the Queensland highlands form the background of this simply told but deeply significant novel of friendship, love, loyalty and the tragic consequences of misunderstanding and mistrust. Coal Creek is a wonderfully satisfying novel with a gratifying resolution. It carries all the wisdom and emotional depth we have come to expect from Miller’s richly evocative prose.

La última tentación de Autumn Laing es un retrato estoicamente íntimo de una mujer inolvidable llena de pintorescos recuerdos y con una poderosa necesidad de redención. Autumn Laing seduce a Pat Donlon con sus piernas nacaradas y sus ansias de vida y arte. Al hacerlo, no sólo compromete la confianza y el amor que comparte con su marido, Arthur, sino que roba el futuro a la joven y guapa esposa de Pat, Edith, y al hijo que ambos esperan. Cincuenta y tres años después, cascarrabias, atractiva e incontenible, Autumn, con ochenta y cinco años, queda horrorizada al descubrir en su fuero interno la poderosa necesidad de reparar su error. Cuando comienza a contar su historia, escribe: «Todos han muerto, y yo estoy vieja y demacrada como un esqueleto. Aquí es donde comenzó...» Escrita con compasión e inteligencia, esta enérgica sensible y apasionada novela va desnudando la narración para preguntar qué relación guarda esta con la verdad. Opinión: «Alex Miller es una voz imprescindible que Australia ha mantenido en secreto para el resto de nosotros durante demasiado tiempo.» John Banville

"After two separate catastrophes, two very different families leave the country for the bright lights of Perth. The Lambs are industrious, united, and--until God seems to turn His back on their boy Fish--religious. The Pickleses are gamblers, boozers, fractious, and unlikely landlords. Change, hardship, and the war force them to swallow their dignity and share a great, breathing, shuddering house called Cloudstreet. Over the next twenty years, they struggle and strive, laugh and curse, come apart and pull together under the same roof, and try as they can to make their lives. Winner of the Miles Franklin Award and recognized as one of the greatest works of Australian literature, Cloudstreet is Tim Winton''s sprawling, comic epic about luck and love, fortitude and forgiveness, and the magic of the everyday"--

The goal of this work was to fabricate electrochromic devices made with pulsed laser deposited tungsten oxide films and evaluate the effects of material properties on device performance. The oxide films were deposited in O2 atmospheres from 10-3 - 10-1 mbar on ITO/glass substrates between room temperature (RT) and 450 °C. A pulsed KrF laser operating at 248 nm was used to ablate the WO3 target. XRD analysis showed amorphous native films for RT depositions and orthorhombic poly-crystalline films deposited at 450 °C. UV-Vis spectroscopy showed transparent films deposited at 10-1 mbar and opaque films for lower chamber pressures. For depositions at RT, atomic force microscopy revealed ultra-smooth surfaces for films deposited at 10-2 mbar and disordered/porous surface morphology for films deposited at 10-1 mbar. With the substrate temperature at 450 °C, the topography had visible grain patterns. IV measurements were done on films grown at different chamber pressures. Preliminary devices were constructed by sandwiching a drop of 2.0-M HCl between the oxide/ITO/glass and a top ITO/glass electrode. Cyclic voltammetry was used to automate the bias potential, determine charge insertion, and investigate response time and the effects of repeated cycles. Devices constructed with opaque oxygen-deficient or poly-crystalline tungsten oxide films displayed poor electrochromism while devices constructed with transparent amorphous WO3 films (deposited at 10-1 mbar and RT) exhibited electrochromic properties including a large optical modulation (76.1 %T at 705 nm) and a coloration efficiency of 11 cm2/C.

Ward Rankin had not wanted to be tied to the station; he''d imagined a life of travel and experience but there was no-one else. When his mother died, it came to him, a frustrated man.

Strangers did not, as a rule, find their way to Chez Dom, a small Tunisian cafe in Paris. Run by the widow Houria and her young niece, Sabiha, the cafe offers a home away from home for the North African immigrant workers at the great abattoirs of Vaugirard who, as with Houria and Sabiha themselves, have grown used to the smell of blood in the air.
