Graffiti art. It’s bold. It’s thrilling. And it can get a girl into serious trouble....Raised by her single mom (who’s always dating the wrong kind of man) in a struggling California neighborhood, Angel Rodriguez is a headstrong, independent young woman who channels her hopes and dreams for the future into her painting. But when her entry for a community mural doesn’t rate, she’s heartbroken. Even with winning artist Nathan Ramos -- a senior track star and Angel’s secret crush -- taking a sudden interest in Angel and her art, she’s angry and hurt. She&

In the 235 poems that make up these collected declarations, renowned Chilean ’antipoet’ Nicanor Parra provides an entertaining and enlightening perspective on the modern world. Delivered as a series of five ’verse speeches’ during the 1990s, the poems in After-Dinner Declarations eschew literary ostentation in favor of playful, conversational musings. In a language steeped in colloquialisms, Parra’s declarations employ a diverse range of discourses - from puns and allusions to diatribes and eulogies - in order to expose the hypocrisy of human institutions and offe

Financing Large Projects is one of the most comprehensive books written on the art of project finance. Project finance is a technique employed for the purpose of mobilizing capital for very large start-up projects, or greenfields, based on the cash flow merits of the project--usually with little or no external support provided by parent companies in the form of guarantees. Unlike other books, this one addresses the financial, technical, legal and environmental aspects of financing complex projects. In explaining the principles involved, the authors followed the project development cycle illust
