https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/06/trumps-election-victory-sparks-dismay-among-climate-community.html By Sam Meredith – CNBC Donald Trump’s election victory on Wednesday sparked a palpable sense of dismay among the climate community.

Información de contracubierta:
«Mi nombre es Luis García. Tengo 55 años y soy ciudadano americano de origen cubano. Se me ha considerado como uno de los mayores narcotraficantes del mundo. Operé tanto por mar como por aire. Familiarmente, se me conocía en el mundo de la droga con el sobrenombre de Kojak.»
MARIMBA ES LA AVENTURA REAL DEL MAYOR TRAFICANTE DE DROGA DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS, NARRADA POR EL MISMO TAL COMO LA VIVIO.
 
Información de solapas:
La droga mata a miles de personas. Y enriquece a unas pocas. Luis García, un estadounidense hijo de españoles, era uno de esos pocos. Le llamaban «Kojak» por su evidente parecido con el famoso personaje televisivo. Tenía una flota de diez avionetas y casi un centenar de lanchas, una riqueza incalculable y más de un gobierno sometido a su voluntad. De este modo le resultaba más fácil transportar la droga de Colombia hasta Florida.
Sin embargo, ahora lo presentamos como autor de Marimba, un libro que narra todas sus experiencias en el mundo del tráfico de drogas. La razón de ese cambio es trágica: en 1983, abandonó sus actividades como traficante al darse cuenta de que su hijo había caído en las garras de la cocaína. Se alistó en las filas de la agencia norteamericana especializada en la lucha contra el narcotráfico (DEA —Drug Enforcement Administration—) y dedicó todo su empeño a acabar con el negocio criminal que él mismo había practicado en otro tiempo.
Oficialmente, Luis García murió de un infarto. Nadie ha podido demostrar lo contrario, a pesar de las muchas amenazas que había recibido. Tras su muerte nos queda Marimba, el testimonio de la vida de uno de los pocos hombres que ha sido capaz de llevar a un primer ministro al banquillo de los acusados en un juicio.

NVIDIA's Slick App Replacement For GeForce Experience Goes Live, No Login Required

When NVIDIA debuted its GeForce Experience app over a decade ago, the online login requirement made many PC hardware grognards (like this author) leery of the software despite its many useful functions.
