Expertly crafted with the mission of illustrating work ethic and other crucial real world concepts in a hard-charging yet witty style, "The Vikings Guide" is a winding and unpredictable saga packed with unhinged enemy hordes, colossal beasts, toxic villains, a ghost named Fifi, and a heroic tribe of brazen but slightly flawed warriors. Mad Hadley, Olga the She Bear, Feral Dave and an eclectic cast of Vikings experience both phenomenal success and epic failure, all while illustrating the value of initiative, flexibility, persistence, teamwork, personal challenge, self-improvement, emotional control, informal leadership, compartmentalization, and much, much more.Many times real world concepts are overlooked, misunderstood, or outright perplexing, but fortunately it is possible to illustrate them in a way that's both meaningful and memorable. They just have to be clearly distilled, wrapped in adventure, and seasoned with a bit of chaos and wit-and that's the sole purpose of the somewhat outlandish but highly relatable tale that is "The Viking's Guide to Pillaging the Real World".

Cuando cayó el Muro de Berlín y el comunismo soviético, muchos pensaron que los procesos de democratización serían seguros. Sin embargo, sólo una minoría de los regímenes comunistas que se pronunciaron una ruptura con el marxismo-leninismo alcanzó esa meta. "Democratización en Cuba: Un manual conciso", explica en forma clara pero metódica los 10 pasos concretos y fundamentales para asegurar que Cuba llegue a la democracia, a partir del momento de su liberación. La democracia no es un destino asegurado cuando caen regímenes totalitarios. En muchas ocasiones hemos visto como el despotismo retorna al poder político, típicamente con el disfraz de "demócrata". Por eso "Democratización en Cuba: Un manual conciso" es lectura obligada para tener las herramientas para establecer muy temprano los cambios verdaderos que Cuba necesitará.
