I'm not going to help pirate, but it looks like amazon might be selling what you're looking for.

You can get the same book in amazon.uk

See what do you think is better (price, deliver, time, etc...)

Nope. In development countries like Chile, credit card it's a privilege of rich people, and I'm not rich or have rich friends.
Anyway, it's not my intention to come here be crying about buying a book, so anyway thanks.
I will look for another reference to management cybernetics from another author more available here.

Weird, because credit cards are very common in Brazil...

Any way it will be easier to find for free an abscure porn movie than a book like this in the internet.

Well, bank credit cards (the real and useful credit cards for online shopping) are for rich people, the common thing are commercial house credit cards that are useless outside that specific store.

Maybe you could try ebay, talk with the seller and try to buy with a deposit.

Thanks! Very interesting so far.
