Oscar Wilde 1854-1900
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.

El arte del ingenio
Oscar Wilde • 2009
El presente volumen pretende rendir homenaje al arte y al ingenio de Oscar Wilde, dos palabras irremediablemente unidas a su nombre, a su estética y a su vida. A este fin se ha llevado a cabo una amplia selección de sus frases, opiniones y ocurrencias más brillantes, entresacándolas de sus obras de teatro, cuentos, ensayos, correspondencia, y de los testimonios orales que sus contertulios u ocasionales oyentes han legado a la posteridad. Así pues, el lector no debe buscar en este libro una radiografía del pensamiento de Oscar Wilde, oculto siempre tras la máscara, sino la brillante superficie donde aflora vivo el arte del ingenio. Los genios... siempre están hablando de sí mismos, cuando lo que yo quiero es que piensen en mí. Los elogios me vuelven humilde, pero cuando me insultan sé que he tocado el cielo. Es triste. La mitad del mundo no cree en Dios, la otra mitad no cree en mí.
