Al llamar descubrirá, por medio de Filósofo, el mensaje que le dejó su hermano: tenía que hacerse con el liderazgo de la banda. Está en la peor situación posible porque su propio hermano lo mantuvo alejado del grupo, no sabe casi nada del negocio y, mucho menos, está apto para enfrentarse a esos hampones despiadados que sólo lo respetaban por ser el hermano del jefe. ¿Puede un muchacho de los bajos fondos aplicar métodos empresariales al mundo del hampa? la respuesta de "Portvs Imperator" es SI

This book is a study of the Basque variety spoken in Lekeitio (Vizcaya). As such we have intended to make a direct contribution to Basque dialectology, aiming at setting certain standards for research in this area. In addition, we believe that some of the materials assembled in this work will be of interest to a larger audience beyond Basque specialists. It is for this reason that we decided to write the present book in English. In our opinion, certain linguistic aspects are treated in more detail here than in any previous work on any other Basque variety. A case in point would be accentuation, both at the lexical level and in its relation to the syntactic process of focalization.

From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.
