Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.

Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency.

Todo lo que somos juntos
Alice Kellen • 2021
El desenlace de la Bilogía «Deja que ocurra». ¿Qué pasará con Axel y Leah? Tras el éxito de Todo lo que nunca fuimos llega el desenlace de la Bilogía «Deja que ocurra». ¿Qué pasará con Axel y Leah? Han pasado tres años desde la última vez que se vieron. Ahora, Leah está a punto de cumplir su sueño de exponer en una galería. Y, pese al pasado, Axel necesita formar parte de un momento como ese. Cuando sus caminos vuelven a cruzarse, Leah tiene que tomar decisiones que pueden cambiarlo todo, porque, a pesar de lo que ocurrió, los recuerdos de toda su vida siguen ahí; intactos, bonitos, únicos. Colándose en cada grieta que aún no ha cerrado. Porque él sigue siendo el chico que aún no ha olvidado. Porque es el mar, noches estrelladas y vinilos de los Beatles. Porque a veces basta un «deja que ocurra» para tenerlo todo.
ROSAS ROJAS
Jacquie D' Alessandro • 2006
Huérfana y abandonada por su prometido, Hayley Albright estaba decidida a cuidar de sus hermanos pequeños aunque por ello debiera renunciar a sus sueños. No esperaba encontrar el amor ni casarse. Pero una noche de luna llena salva la vida de un desconocido. Se trata de lord Stephen Barrett quien consigue librarse del asesino que le acechaba. Está muy agradecido a Hayley, pero no quiere influir sobre sus sentimientos y decide actuar con prudencia. El lord posee sin embargo un aire de inocencia que supone un arma de pura seducción para cualquier mujer. Tocar a Stephen es pues una dulce tentación para Hayley. Y de repente el hombre que siempre actuaba con prudencia está dispuesto a arriesgarlo todo por una mujer que no tiene nada más que ofrecer que su corazón.

El deseo prohibido de Doug
Darlis Stefany Stefany • 2022
DETALLS DEL PRODUCTE Algo que Doug siempre supo es que la hermana Jefferson era intocable, perfecta y definitivamente no destinada para él. ¿Pero algo que también supo? Que por más que lo intentara no podría huir de ella, no cuando esos ojos azules verdosos y sonrisa angelical estaban destinados a perseguirlo en sueños, duchas e incluso en el escenario, ¿y por qué no decirlo? También lo perseguían mientras escribía una canción. El problema de Hilary siempre se ha reducido en volver al mismo punto de partida: desear a Doug McQueen. Incluso viéndolo en revistas con todos sus ligues, ella no puede huir de los cosquilleos en su estómago, ni el deseo de tenerlo para sí misma. ¿Qué se hace cuando se desea lo prohibido? Lo tomas y ese es el error que Doug ha creído cometer. Ha tomado su deseo. ¿Dónde radica el error de Doug? En tomar el deseo que lleva por apellido Jefferson, el mismo apellido que sus dos sobreprotectores amigos, compañeros y hermanos de banda poseen. Se han dejado llevar, las cosas fueron más allá de lo planeado y ahora no saben cómo enfrentarlo. Una cosa es cierta: Doug no sabe cómo decirle a los hermanos Jefferson que ha dejado algo más que besos en su hermana, que ha dejado algo echando raíces en su cuerpo. Entonces así es como sucede, así es como Hilary siempre ha sido y parece ser el deseo prohibido de Doug
H de Harry: BG.5 Libro #1 (Spanish Edition)
Darlis Stefany • 2025
La renombrada banda británica BG.5 es un fenómeno mundial, y cada uno de sus integrantes es sinónimo de talento, entrega y pasión, además de una increíble apariencia y una personalidad que logra enloquecer a su fanaticada.<br/><br/>Harry Jefferson, el famoso y encantador baterista, es un artista completo, un buen hijo, amigo y hermano, pero jamás imaginó que un accidente con sus baquetas, que lo condujo a una sala de emergencias, le cambiaría la vida y que, pocos años después, tendría que demostrar el hombre romántico y determinado que es a una mujer que sacudirá su mundo, cambiará su forma de percibir las notas de su propia música y le dará un sentido distinto a las letras de sus canciones.<br/><br/>Un simple accidente, un hospital, un encuentro con una hermosa mujer embarazada que está a punto de dar a luz; un bebé que llevará su nombre y que, sin saberlo, marcará el inicio de una intensa historia de amor, melodías y pasiones, pero también llena de barreras que Harry Jefferson tendrá que derrumbar.<br/><br/>¿Qué pasa cuando las ganas de amar y el miedo a hacerlo se juntan? Supongo que tendremos que averiguarlo entre conciertos, música, letras, lágrimas y risas.

The Love Hypothesis
Ali Hazelwood • 2021
The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor—and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Alicia en el País de las Maravillas
Lewis Carroll • 2011
El clasico que traspasa el umbral que separa la realidad del sueno. <br>En "Alicia en el pais de las maravillas," la joven Alicia es transportada a traves de una conejera a un mundo de maravillas y extravagancias. Ahi encontrara seres absolutamente estramboticos: el gato de Cheshire, un gato sonriente que aparece y desaparece constantemente; un gusano de seda que fuma y razona; el completamente desequilibrado Sombrerero Loco; una baraja de naipes que juegan al croquet, entre los cuales se encuentra la cruel despota Reina de Corazones. La continuacion de este relato, "A traves del espejo" --en el que Alicia entra a un mundo magico donde la vida funciona a partir de las reglas del ajedrez-- y el hilarante poema "La caza del Snark" completan esta edicion que cuenta tambien con las miticas ilustraciones originales de John Tenniel. Triunfos de la imaginacion y del ingenio, estas narraciones recrean un mundo de escenarios y criaturas insolitos, y ponen en entredicho todos y cada uno de los postulados logicos en los que se basa nuestro mundo convencional.

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.

It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.

Cadáver exquisito (Premio Clarín 2017) / Tender is the Flesh (MAPA DE LAS LENGUAS) (Spanish Edition)
Agustina Bazterrica • 2020
<b>PREMIO CLARÍN 2017</b><br><br><b>En esta despiadada distopía -tan brutal como sutil, tan alegórica como realista-, Agustina Bazterrica inspira, con el poder explosivo de la ficción, sensaciones y debates de suma actualidad.</b><br><br>La súbita aparición de un virus letal que ataca a los animales modifica de manera irreversible el mundo: desde las fieras hasta las mascotas deben ser sistemáticamente sacrificadas, y su carne ya no puede ser consumida. Los gobiernos enfrentan la situación con una decisión drástica: legalizando la cría, reproducción, matanza y procesamiento de carne humana. El canibalismo es ley y la sociedad ha quedado dividida en dos grupos: los que comen y los que son comidos.<br><br>Marcos Tejo, encargado general del frigorífico Krieg, separado de su esposa y a cargo de su padre, es un oscuro burócrata. El día en que recibe como regalo una mujer criada para el consumo, las tentaciones lo transforman en una conciencia peligrosa de pliegues truculentos que lo llevará a transgredir las nuevas normas hasta límites que la sociedad desconoce.<br><br>¿Qué resto de humanidad cabe cuando los muertos son cremados para evitar su consumo? ¿Quién es el otro si, de verdad, somos lo que comemos?<br><br><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br><br><b>The electrifying, award-winning, internationally bestselling novel about a dystopian world in which animals have been wiped out, humans are being harvested for food, and society has been divided into those who eat and those who are eaten.</b><br><br></b>Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that animals had been infected with a virus and their meat had become poisonous. Then governments initiated the Transition. Now, human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.<br><br>Then one day he’s given a gift: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later. But she haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her watchful, knowing eyes. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.<br><br>From Agustina Bazterrica, one of Latin America’s most celebrated and original new voices, <i>Tender Is the Flesh</i> is propulsive and profound, a searing cautionary tale about the cost of consumption and the ties that bind and break us.

Crime
El Hombre Perfecto (Spanish Edition)
Linda Howard • 2002
Todo empieza como una broma de cuatro amigas en su reunión semanal. ¿El tema de conversación? Una vez más, los hombres. Entre risas, deciden hacer el retrato del hombre perfecto, y ponen por escrito las cualidades que debería reunir: sincero, amable, atractivo, con sentido del humor... y, bueno, hay algo más, un detalle que acabará por desencadenar una verdadera pesadilla.<br/>Sin embargo, Janie y sus amigas no se sienten en peligro. No ven amenaza en las susurrantes llamadas telefónicas, ni perciben la mirada cargada de odio de un personaje cercano. Ignoran que una mente desequilibrada es como la nieve amontonada en la ladera de una montaña: a veces basta un estornudo para provocar un alud.<br/>EL HOMBRE PERFECTO SE HA FIJADO EN ELLA...<br/>Hace tiempo que Janie ha dejado de creer en el hombre perfecto. Tras varios fracasos sentimentales, se tomó un respiro... y lleva unos años sin pareja. ¿Además, para qué necesita un hombre? Tiene un buen trabajo, cuenta con el cariño de sus amigas y acaba de comprarse una casa. Lástima que su vecino resulte ser un individuo tan irritante: descarado y arrogante, pero físicamente imponente y dueño de una sonrisa que la deja a la vez furiosa y desarmada. ¿En qué otra persona podría confiar Janie para escapar de un asesino?<br/>Y NO LA DEJARÁ ESCAPAR<br/>Se llama Sam Donovan y es policía. Trabaja a diario con la violencia, el crimen y el engaño, está habituado a ver la parte más oscura del ser humano, y sabe apreciar la honestidad y la capacidad de lucha. Tal vez por eso se siente irremediablemente atraído por su guapa e impaciente vecina: tiene empuje, es valiente y sincera, cálida y risueña. Desde el primer momento, Sam decide que esta mujer será importante en su vida, y no permitirá que nadie le haga daño. Absolutamente nadie.
