Ante los drásticos recortes que amenazan su estilo de vida, los magos de la Universidad Invisible de Ankh-Morpork se ven obligados a ceder a la voluntad de Vetinari, el tirano benévolo de la ciudad, y a reanudar la tradición futbolera de su institución.

Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads Francesca, Here's to Strong, smart women! Claire McCaskill. Claire Conner McCaskill (born July 24, 1953) is a former American politician who served as a United States senator from Missouri from 2007 to 2019 and as State Auditor of Missouri from 1999 to 2007. McCaskill graduated from the University of Missouri and the University of Missouri School of Law. A member of the Democratic Party, McCaskill served as a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 1983 to 1989, as Jackson County Prosecutor from 1993 to 1998, and as the 34th State Auditor of Missouri from 1999 to 2007. She ran for governor of Missouri in the 2004 election, defeating Democratic incumbent Bob Holden in the Democratic primary and losing to Republican Matt Blunt in a close general election. McCaskill was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006, the first woman to be elected U.S. senator from Missouri (Jean Carnahan was appointed upon the death of her husband). Re-elected in 2012, McCaskill was defeated in 2018 by Republican challenger Josh Hawley. McCaskill is a visiting fellow at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. On January 15, 2019, McCaskill joined NBC News and MSNBC as a political analyst. McCaskill is featured as a regular guest on Deadline: White House and Morning Joe. She also makes frequent appearances on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell and The 11th Hour with Brian Williams along with, MSNBC and NBC News Special Event Breaking News Coverage. The female senator from Missouri shares her inspiring story of embracing her ambition, surviving sexist slings, making a family, losing a husband, outsmarting her enemies, and finding joy along the way. Claire McCaskill grew up in a political family, but not at a time that welcomed women with big plans. She earned a law degree and paid her way through school by working as a waitress. By 1982 Claire had set her sights on the Missouri House of Representatives. Typically, one voter whose door she knocked on said: You're too young; your hair is too long; you're a girl.Go find yourself a husband. That door was slammed in her face, but Claire always kept pushing, first as a prosecutor of arsonists and rapists and then all the way to the door of a cabal of Missouri politicians who had secret meetings to block her legislation. In this candid, lively, and forthright memoir, Senator McCaskill describes her uphill battle to become who she is today, from her failed first marriage to a Kansas City car dealer, the father of her three children, to her current marriage to a Missouri businessman whom she describes as a life partner. She depicts her ups and downs with the Clintons, her long-shot reelection as senator after secretly helping to nominate a right-wing extremist as her opponent, and the fun of joining the growing bipartisan sisterhood in the Senate. From the day she was elected homecoming queen in high school, Claire has loved politics and winning. Her memoir is unconventional: unsparing in its honesty, full of sharp humor and practical wisdom, and rousing in its defense of female ambition. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Missouri Senator McCaskill's life, as painted in this memoir, has been a life in electoral politics. "Trick or treat and vote for JFK" was the seven-year-old's Halloween appeal; in high school she was elected homecoming queen; later, she was elected to the state House of Representatives, as Jackson County prosecutor, and as Missouri's state auditor. She was the first person to outmatch an incumbent governor in a Missouri primary; her narrow loss in the general election was her first defeat. In 2006, she was the first woman elected to the Senate from Missouri and in 2012, she was re-elected. The notable Senate achievements she highlights include earmark spending reform, oversight of military contractors, and directing attention to sexual assault in the military. McCaski.
