Описание: Recent research on environmental regulation have focused on studying ways of controlling continuous sources of pollution such as SO2 and CO2 emissions by means of permit trading and carbon taxes. However, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon blowout and the red mud tailings spill in Hungary have shown that accidental pollution can also generate serious social damages. The objective of this book is to study how to organize and administer a governance system that regulates accidental pollution and market power by adopting a holistic analytical approach that combines economics, law, and politics. The book presents a multi-tier principal-agent model where the State regulates accidental pollution and market power, taking into account the problems of corruption, moral hazard, the random nature of accidental pollution, and the organization of regulatory institutions. Instruments such as monitoring and penalties are identified as optimal policy tools in a second-best setting. The book analyzes the applicability of the model using real case studies from the mining and energy industries and presents policy implications of the analysis for the U.S.A. and Peru.

Описание: La gran novela de Arturo P rez-Reverte que abri el camino del xito internacional a los thrillers inspirados en el mundo de los libros.
Puede un libro ser investigado policialmente como si de un crimen se tratara, utilizando como pistas sus p ginas, papel, grabados y marcas de impresi n, en un apasionante recorrido de tres siglos?.
Lucas Corso, mercenario de la bibliofilia, cazador de libros por cuenta ajena, debe encontrar respuesta a esa pregunta cuando recibe un doble encargo de sus clientes: autentificar un manuscrito de Los tres mosqueteros y descifrar el enigma de un extra o libro, quemado en 1667 con el hombre que lo imprimi .
La indagaci n arrastra a Corso -y con l, irremediablemente, al lector- a una peligrosa b squeda que lo llevar de los archivos del Santo Oficio a los libros condenados, de las polvorientas librer as de viejo a las m s selectas bibliotecas de los coleccionistas internacionales.
Construida con excepcional talento narrativo, El club Dumas sit a pieza a pieza una trama excitante, minuciosa y compleja, donde se dan cita los ingredientes de la novela cl sica por entregas, los relatos polic acos y de misterio, los juegos de adivinaci n y las t cnicas del follet n de aventuras.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLucas Corso is a book detective, a middle-aged mercenary hired to hunt down rare editions for wealthy and unscrupulous clients.
When a well-known bibliophile is found dead, leaving behind part of the original manuscript of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, Corso is brought in to authenticate the fragment.
He is soon drawn into a swirling plot involving devil worship, occult practices, and swashbuckling derring-do among a cast of characters bearing a suspicious resemblance to those of Dumas's masterpiece.
Aided by a mysterious beauty named for a Conan Doyle heroine, Corso travels from Madrid to Toledo to Paris on the killer's trail in this twisty intellectual romp through the book world.

Описание: Un encargo editorial pone a Alejandra Varela, especialista en arte urbano, tras la pista de Sniper, un reconocido artista del grafiti, promotor de acciones callejeras al l mite de la legalidad --algunas de ellas con resultados fatales-- del que casi nadie ha visto jam s el rostro ni conoce el paradero. La b squeda conducir a la protagonista de Madrid a Lisboa, y de ah a Verona y N poles en su intento por descifrar cu l es el objetivo al que apunta la mira mortal del cazador solitario. En mis novelas siempre hay una pica, una clase determinada de h roe. En este sentido El francotirador paciente no se sale de ese territorio. El mundo del grafiti callejero es un escenario muy interesante y tiene tambi n un componente singular de aventura, de guerrilla urbana... En esta ocasi n he llevado a mis personajes de siempre a un territorio muy actual, contempor neo , afirma el autor. El francotirador paciente es tambi n una original reflexi n sobre el papel del arte y su valor en nuestros d as, un asunto que el escritor ya trat en novelas anteriores como El pintor de batallas o La tabla de Flandes. El francotirador paciente es un thriller que apasiona, un formidable duelo de inteligencias, un juego al l mite entre perseguidor y presa. Porque el tiempo no es lo m s importante cuando quedan cuentas pendientes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An editorial assignment sets urban-art specialist Alejandra Varela on the trail of Sniper, a mysterious graffiti artist and promoter of activities bordering on illegal--with sometimes fatal results. Her attempts to figure out the lone hunter's next target of the lonely hunter's will take Varela from Madrid to Lisbon, and from there to Verona and Naples.The novel is an electrifying thriller, a formidable duel of the minds, and a daring game between hunter and pray, where time is of no import when there are still accounts to be settled. El francotirador paciente is also a remarkable reflection on the role of art and its value in our times, something the author has touched upon in previous novels such as El pintor de batallas and La tabla de Flandes."There is always something epic in my novels, a certain class of hero. In this sense, El francotirador paciente does not deviate from this terrain. The world of graffiti is a very interesting setting and it also has the unique component of urban warfare and adventure... This time I have taken my usual characters to a contemporary and very current territory," said the author.

Описание: "Perez-Reverte summons the romantic spirit of an old black-and-white movie: impossibly glamorous, undeniably wistful." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An intoxicating entertainment, pulsing with life."-- Booklist (starred review) "Sparkling with witty dialogue, this elegantly translated thriller is enthusiastically recommended to sophisticated readers and those who wish to be." - Library Journal (starred review) In 1928, aboard the Cap Polonio--a lavish transatlantic cruise ship bound for Buenos Aires--Max Costa locks eyes with Mecha Inzunza across the first-class ballroom. They are an unlikely match. He is a thief, sleek and refined, hired to dance with unaccompanied passengers. She is the elegant wife of an accomplished composer, accustomed only to luxury. But as they embrace in a fiery tango, a steamy and dangerous love affair ignites--following them from the ship's gentle sways in the Atlantic night to the seedy decadence of Buenos Aires. Yet as quickly as their affair begins, the two lovers are torn apart. In Nice, 1937, Max and Mecha's lives intersect for a second time and they rekindle their dalliance with ease. But in the wake of a perilous mission gone awry, Mecha looks after her charming paramour until a deadly encounter with a Spanish spy forces Max to flee. Decades later in Sorrento at the height of the Cold War, Max once again runs into trouble--and Mecha. Their attraction is undeniable but with KGB agents on Max's trail, the small glimmer of hope is becoming increasingly dim. A mesmerizing tale of love and adventure, espionage and honor, What We Become is Arturo Perez-Reverte at his finest, with elegant prose reminiscent of his beloved novel, The Club Dumas. Sweeping through time and across borders, What We Become proves that love, much like a great novel, is timeless and enduring.
