This new Edition of Electronic Commerce is a complete update of the leading graduate level/advanced undergraduate level textbook on the subject. Electronic commerce (EC) describes the manner in which transactions take place over electronic networks, mostly the Internet. It is the process of electronically buying and selling goods, services, and information. Certain EC applications, such as buying and selling stocks and airline tickets online, are reaching maturity, some even exceeding non-Internet trades. However, EC is not just about buying and selling; it also is about electronically communicating, collaborating, and discovering information. It is about e-learning, e-government, social networks, and much more. EC is having an impact on a significant portion of the world, affecting businesses, professions, trade, and of course, people. The most important developments in EC since 2014 are the continuous phenomenal growth of social networks, especially Facebook , LinkedIn and Instagram, and the trend toward conducting EC with mobile devices. Other major developments are the expansion of EC globally, especially in China where you can find the world''s largest EC company. Much attention is lately being given to smart commerce and the use of AI-based analytics and big data to enhance the field. Finally, some emerging EC business models are changing industries (e.g., the shared economy models of Uber and Airbnb). The 2018 (9th) edition, brings forth the latest trends in e-commerce, including smart commerce, social commerce, social collaboration, shared economy, innovations, and mobility.

Na noite de 8 de novembro de 1923, Adolf Hitler, então com 34 anos, invadiu uma cervejaria em Munique, disparou sua pistola no ar e proclamou uma revolução. Dezessete horas depois, tudo o que restava de seu audacioso movimento era um rastro de destruição. Hitler era agora um foragido da polícia, e aquele parecia ser o fim de sua carreira. "O julgamento de Adolf Hitler" narra a história verídica do monumental processo criminal que se seguiu quando Hitler e nove outros suspeitos foram acusados de alta traição. Repórteres de lugares tão díspares como Argentina e Austrália reuniram-se em Munique por quatro semanas para acompanhar o "espetáculo". Ao final, Hitler transformaria o fiasco do putsch (golpe) da cervejaria em uma vitória estonteante para o jovem Partido Nazista. Esse julgamento colocou Hitler no centro das atenções e serviu de palco para sua ideologia, dando início a sua improvável ofensiva rumo ao poder. Baseado em transcrições de julgamentos, arquivos policiais e muitas outras fontes, "O julgamento de Adolf Hitler" é uma emocionante história real de crime e castigo – e o retrato assombroso de como uma falha na justiça pode ter consequências catastróficas.

La desconocida historia del juicio que pavimentó el camino de Hitler al poder y que marcó la historia del siglo XX. La tarde del 8 de noviembre de 1923, un Adolf Hitler de 34 años irrumpió en una de las mayores cervecerías de Múnich, disparó su pistola al aire y proclamó la revolución. Comenzaba así el llamado Putsch de Múnich, por el que fueron procesados y condenados a prisión Hitler y otros dirigentes nazis. Su carrera política parecía acabada. Este ensayo cuenta la verdadera historia del proceso judicial que cayó sobre Hitler y otros compañeros. Periodistas de todo el mundo aterrizaron en Múnich para cubrir un espectáculo sensacional que duró cuatro semanas. Tras el juicio, cumplió sólo nueve meses de los cinco años a los que había sido condenado. Y lo que es más importante, Hitler supo transformar el intento fallido de golpe de Estado en una victoria: fue este el juicio que puso a Hitler en primer plano, dotándolo de una posición sin precedentes para desarrollar su demagogia y colocándolo en el camino al poder.
