First we thought we could go around the world in 4 years. Then we were convinced that we could do it in 7. When we got to the sixth year of travel, we felt that 10 was a good round number. Almost 20 years later we are still on the road. And there's still half the planet left to explore. "I'll never forget that Monday when I put the barrel of a gun to my head and fired until I was out of bullets, without stopping to think of what I was doing so I wouldn't have a chance to change my mind. It was my resignation to a future which I already knew, a farewell to a secure job, an adieu to a brilliant career in advertising, the microcosm where I had lived for the last twelve long years. It was ten minutes after ten in the morning and my last words were, more or less 'keep the corpse, I'm leaving.' My body collapsed and I walked out the door" The Book of Independence, is a journey through some of the world's worst backcountry roads with a 4×4 truck transformed into a house on wheels.

First we thought we could go around the world in four years. Then we were convinced that we could do it in seven. When we got to the sixth year of travel, we felt that 10 was a good round number, enough to see and to understand the world. In June 2015 we celebrate 15 years living on the road, and there's still more than half the planet left to explore! "...I'll never forget that Monday when I put the barrel of a gun to my head and fired until I was out of bullets, without stopping to think of what I was doing so I wouldn't have a chance to change my mind. It was my resignation to a future which I already knew, a farewell to a secure job, an adieu to a brilliant career in advertising, the microcosm where I had lived for the last twelve long years. It was ten minutes after ten in the morning and my last words were, more or less 'keep the corpse, I'm leaving.' My body collapsed and I walked out the door..." The Book of Independence is the story of a dream, of how one day two normal people decided to declare their independence and give up that double life that makes us do on the weekends what we would like to do Monday through Friday. It is also the story of Babel's back country, a journey through some of the world's worst roads with a 4×4 truck transformed into a house on wheels. There is no bathroom, no shower, no sponsors, no hotels, no phone and no Auto Club. "The road will provide" is a statement of optimistic intent. Well, optimistic optimism. "The Book of Independence works its magic like a bellows on the embers of wanderlust, inspiring us to break away from the norm, to slow down and smell the proverbial roses... or cow or elephant dung. It's not about what you'll do after you retire, it's about what you do before you die."Chris Collard, Chief Editor of Overland Journal Magazine, United States "They're intent on completing their round the world trip in 10 years and, possibly, to invent whatever excuse afterwards to remain in motion."Lonely Planet Magazine "They've lived through everything... from elephant attacks provoked by getting too close to a herd with calves to getting shot at in Ethiopia."TVE, Spanish Television "We are very much enjoying your book! Your stories really capture what overlanding is all about. Thank you!"Roseann Hanson, Overland Expo founder, Arizona, United States "Pablo and Anna are genuine. Their vision is a simple one, without pretense, that offers the rest of us the option to attain our own dreams, no matter how deep. Pablo y Anna, bravo y buena ruta."Cemil Alyanak, Excess Noise, Washington DC, United States "When I pick up a book, I hope that the pages that are about to reach my eyes are ones of treasure, ones of inspiration. I want to be transported into the world of the writer as they share their story through their mesmerizing words, those of wisdom, strife, and adventure. Reading a title such as this already takes you to the front step, and Pablo Rey's enchanting tale does the rest. You hear of so many stories about the race to travel and it leaves you wondering... What happens when you stop running and just be? To take a whole adventure, and make it your whole life? The definition of 'exploring' doesn't even begin to cover it. Pablo takes you through a whole new transformation into a world that the English language barely has words to define. I can only imagine what it would be like to be a fly in Pablo's brain as his words are so artistically magical, that it is impossible not to whisk you away into this alternate universe."Sarah Blessington, Exploring Elements AROUND THE WORLD IN 10 YEARS CONTINUES AT WWW.VIAJEROS4X4X4.COM

In a stunningly original look at the American Declaration of Independence, David Armitage reveals the document in a new light: through the eyes of the rest of the world. Not only did the Declaration announce the entry of the United States onto the world stage, it became the model for other countries to follow. Armitage examines the Declaration as a political, legal, and intellectual document, and is the first to treat it entirely within a broad international framework. He shows how the Declaration arose within a global moment in the late eighteenth century similar to our own. He uses over one hundred declarations of independence written since 1776 to show the influence and role the U.S. Declaration has played in creating a world of states out of a world of empires. He discusses why the framers’ language of natural rights did not resonate in Britain, how the document was interpreted in the rest of the world, whether the Declaration established a new nation or a collection of states, and where and how the Declaration has had an overt influence on independence movements—from Haiti to Vietnam, and from Venezuela to Rhodesia. Included is the text of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and sample declarations from around the world. An eye-opening list of declarations of independence since 1776 is compiled here for the first time. This unique global perspective demonstrates the singular role of the United States document as a founding statement of our modern world.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

This book provides students, instructors, and lay-readers with a cross-cultural understanding of storytelling as an art form that has existed for centuries, from the first spoken and sung stories to those that are drawn and performed today. This book serves as an indispensable resource for students and scholars interested in storytelling and in multicultural approaches to the arts. By taking an evolutionary approach, this book begins with a discussion of origin stories and continues through history to stories of the 21st century. The text not only engages the stories themselves, it also explains how individuals from all disciplines, from doctors and lawyers to priests and journalists, use stories to focus their readers' and listeners' attention and influence them. This text addresses stories and storytelling across both time (thousands of years) and geography, including in-depth descriptions of storytelling practices occurring in more than 40 different cultures around the world. Part I consists of thematic essays, exploring such topics as the history of storytelling, common elements across cultures, different media, lessons stories teach us, and storytelling today. Part II looks at more than 40 different cultures, with entries following the same outline: Overview, Storytellers: Who Tell the Stories, and When, Creation Mythologies, Teaching Tales and Values, and Cultural Preservation. Several tales/tale excerpts accompany each entry.

Primero pensamos que podríamos dar la vuelta al mundo en 4 años. Luego nos convencimos que la terminaríamos en 7. Cuando llegamos al sexto año de viaje, creímos que 10 era buen número, un número redondo. Casi 20 años después todavía seguimos viviendo en la ruta. Y todavía nos queda mucho planeta. ""...Jamás olvidaré el lunes que apoyé el cañón de una pistola en mi cabeza y disparé hasta quedarme sin balas, sin detenerme a pensar en lo que hacía para no darle otra oportunidad al arrepentimiento. Era la renuncia a un trabajo fijo, la despedida a un futuro previsible, la jubilación de la seguridad. Pasaban diez minutos de las diez de la mañana y mis últimas palabras decían, más o menos, 'quédense ustedes con el muerto que yo me largo'. Mi cuerpo se desplomó y yo salí por la puerta..."" El libro de la independencia es el relato de los caminos accidentados de Babel, un viaje por algunas de las peores rutas del mundo en una furgoneta 4×4 convertida en una casa con ruedas.
