Jordi Roca comenzó trabajando con chocolates de distintos orígenes y preparados de formas muy diferentes en sus elaboraciones. Hasta que decidió dar un paso más y empezar un nuevo proceso creativo a partir del redescubrimiento del cacao.

Choosing a partner is one of the most consequential and tricky decisions we will ever make. The cost of repeated failure is immense. And yet we are often so alone with the search. Partners used to be found for us by parents and society. Now we are expected to follow our feelings - and so locate people by ourselves, according to intuition. This should be an improvement, but our emotions often pull us towards hugely problematic characters and dynamics. How to Find Love explains why we have the 'types' we do - and how our early experiences give us scripts of how and whom we can love. The book provides a crucial set of ideas to help us make safer, more imaginative and more effective choices in love. Product details Format Hardback | 80 pages ...

Con un método empírico y analítico innovador el autor analiza las implicaciones cognitivas, discursivas y socio-estructurales de la formación y transmisión de ideologías. La definición del concepto y de las funciones de la ideología sigue ocupando a muchos investigadores de las más diversas disciplinas. En esta obra, Teun Van Dijk construye un nuevo marco interdisciplinario que permite analizar el fenómeno de las ideologías y su papel en la dinámica social con planteamientos teóricos innovadores y fecundos. A partir de una excelente conceptualización de las relaciones entre conocimiento, sociedad y discurso, el autor define la ideología como "forma de conocimiento social y como la base de las representaciones sociales" que constituyen la cohesión de los grupos sociales. En el conjunto de sus análisis, el autor presta una atención especial a las ideologías racistas, estudia la función social y los mecanismos de reproducción de las ideologías, así como las dimensiones discurs...

It started in 1978 with an ordinary coffee shop near Kyoto. Word spread that the waitresses wore no panties under their miniskirts. Similar establishments popped up across the country. Men waited in line outside to pay three times the usual coffee price just to be served by a panty-free young woman. Within a few years, a new craze took hold: the no-panties "massage" parlor. Increasingly bizarre services followed, from fondling clients through holes in coffins to commuter-train fetishists. One particularly popular destination was a Tokyo club called "Lucky Hole" where clients stood on one side of a plywood partition, a hostess on the other. In between them was a hole big enough for a certain part of the male anatomy. Taking the Lucky Hole as his title, Nobuyoshi Araki captures Japan's sex industry in full flower, documenting in more than 800 photos the pleasure-seekers and providers of Tokyo's Shinjuku neighborhood before the February 1985 New Amusement Busi...

It has often been said that those who donÂt understand the past are destined to repeat it. We all acknowledge that understanding history is important and that a well-written history can be both engaging and fascinating. History serves important purposes besides entertainment. It explains what happened in the past and why it happened. In addition, once we understand the historical milieu surrounding an event, we can forecast what is likely to occur in the future if we see the same pattern of events and forces coming to play in the present. Financial accounting reports serve that same purposes, they explain what happened in the past, and they can be used to forecast the future. In addition, financial accountants have the same general objectives, to write a history that is both understandable and relevant.This book provides you with the background and skills that you need as a non-financial manager so that financial statements will talk to you. You will discover that the language that fin...
