This novel is the story of the early months of those cataclysmic events as seen through the eyes of some of the major contributors to the War, and also from a group of British athletes who just happened to find themselves thrust into the fighting and mayhem of those chaotic days of July, when the first stand against the Totalitarian Right Wing, under the guise of Fascism, was undertaken by the brave and gallant people of Spain. The War was to last from the summer of 1936 through to late spring of 1939 and over 500,000 people were to lose their lives in the fighting and repression that inevitably accompanies any Civil War, especially when a clash of ideological views are involved. The Spanish War was to be overshadowed almost as soon as it had finished, in April of 1939, by world events which happened later that year. It was though, a major conflict in its own right, which had a significant effect on later events. The blood, destruction and misery caused by the Civil War was to all intents and purposes..."THE PAIN OF SPAIN".

The first thing to know about this book is, it isn't about me. It's about the situations I lived through and what I had to do to adapt. And the thing with humans is, we do adapt. Just look at how the nation - the whole world - adapted to having to wash our hands, wear masks and get vaccinated during the global outbreak of Covid-19. If we want to achieve something as a human race, we will do it, and we will adapt. This book is a true story, involving my experience on a mission of goodwill in the tropics of the rainforest, a near death experience on a boat trip in Majorca, and returning to the slow pace of normal life back home.
Earth's endemic life exists on an active planet, and its physical characteristics shape its development by affecting it in many ways. The planet's magnetic field plays its part in that scenario. In this new book, the author concentrates on this little-understood aspect of terrestrial life's existence. In an all-pervasive way, Earth's natural magnetism imparts a pulse to the life forms that exist on the planet. From the very simplest to the most complex, organisms cannot ignore their natural magnetic environment. A lot of recent research into this phenomenon has been collated and reviewed by the author. In this book, he appraises the evidence from that research in a scientific yet interesting manner.
El 1 de enero de 2013 entró en vigor en Nicaragua la Ley No. 822, Ley de Concertación Tributaria. Esta ley tiene como objetivo crear y modificar los tributos nacionales internos y regular su aplicación, con el fin de proveerle al Estado los recursos para financiar el gasto público. Es con esta ley que se introduce en Nicaragua la legislación aplicable a los Precios de Transferencia (en lo sucesivo también, PT), cuya entrada en vigor, de conformidad con el Artículo 303, sería el 1 de enero de 2016. No obstante, su implementación fue postergada para el 1 de enero de 2017. Mediante esta investigación queremos analizar la relación existente entre el Principio de Plena Competencia en Nicaragua y la legislación aplicable a los PT contenida en la Ley No. 822 de 1 de enero de 2013. Finalizamos presentando los aportes sobre PT y su primera adopción. Aunque la rama del Derecho Tributario en Nicaragua ha sido objeto de múltiples investigaciones, el tema de los PT, por su novedad, no ha despertado una atención especial. Con este trabajo hacemos una contribución para participar en el debate y motivar a otros investigadores para que se involucren en el desarrollo del país a través de la implementación de la legislación relacionada con los PT.
I would like to thank everyone who helped to publish this book and especially thank my sister Ann Macdonald for motivating me to write this book. Thank you!
Robin Moore has always been fascinated by water.It is something so simple and seemingly so small, but it has had an enormousimpact on the lives of everyone-and it will continue to do so.The book doesn't explore the science of water, which is vast, complex, andperplexing. Rather, the author's aim is to share a portfolio that illustrates howwater has had a profound impact on our lives and emotions.To achieve his goal, he had to understand the laws of water beforehe could successfully demonstrate its impact. His investigation into the waywater flows and moves, and how it creates patterns and shapes our lives, took himon an interesting journey from the humble drip to the mighty oceans.Art is about emotion, understanding colour, and observation. By bringing scienceand art together, the author calls attention to the magic of water.
