Las Fantasticas or Las munecas de la mafia are women who rarely go unnoticed. During their time of glory, paraded at their husband s side, they travel in opulent vehicles decked out in the latest designer fashions and live in the lap of luxury. It just takes one second, one false move, however, and their entire life comes crashing down on them. Their man loses power, money and/or his freedom, and suddenly their golden dream turns into their darkest nightmare. Glamour and an affluent lifestyle give way to uncertainty, unease, and an inability to go back to a normal life. Las Fantasticas were a

Rock breakage with explosives has existed since the seventeenth century when black powder came into use in mining. Since then it has progressed from the invention of dynamite to the use of heavy ANFO. During the past two decades, there have been numerous technical contributions which have brought a better understanding of rock fragmentation with explosives, an improvement in drilling equipment and a noticeable evolution in the development of new explosives and blasting accessories. The Geomining Technological Institute of Spain (ITCE), aware of this progress and of the importance which the br

Most people assume that being right should be enough to be followed and respected as leaders. However, anyone attempting to lead any type of organization (family, business, sports, etc.) knows by experience that this is not so. Usually, the blame is placed on external factors, like the lack of the right team or circumstances. After several failing experiences, frustration and cynicism creep in about the possibility of successfully implementing any improvement initiative. What is the use of being right if nobody listens to us? What is the point of being wise and powerful if the rest of the worl

Realmente percibimos con claridad lo cotidiano o, precisamente, por su cotidianidad, tendemos a unificar todas nuestras sensaciones en el manto uniforme de la oscura monotonia, monocromatizando los brillantes colores del arco iris? Amor, terror, fantasia, locura, infancia, vejez, ignorancia, creencias, posesion, ilusion... cotidianidad. De esto trata este libro: de historias cotidianas, diferenciadas, valoradas en toda su riqueza. Historias sencillas, como las de su primer libro, Ellos, y otros relatos. Historias directas, escritas, una vez mas, con una sintaxis correcta y un comedimiento en

Planning This book stems from a Research Project financed by the Italian Ministry of University and Scientific Research (MIUR) which has been carried out in the period 1999-2002. The Project, entitled "Knowledge Engineering in Planning Process" was aimed at developing Artificial Intelligent technologies in analysis, project and evaluation in territorial planning. This approach, which has recently been defined "Geocomputation" in the scientific literature, constitutes an emerging paradigm in territorial sciences. The final research results were presented in a workshop which took place in Milan
