Book Description
When a breach birth leaves Paulo severely disabled, his father, the articulate, unsentimental Professor Frigerio, struggles to come to terms with his son’s condition. Face to face with his own limitations, Frigerio confronts the strange way society around him handles Paolo’s handicaps and observes his surprising gifts. In spare, deeply affecting episodes, the professor of language explores the nuanced boundaries between “normal” and “disabled” worlds. A remarkable memoir of fathering, winner of the 2001 Strega Prize, Italy’s most prestigious literary honor, Born Twice is noted Italian author Guiseppe Pontiggia’s American debut. Sometimes meditative, often humorous, and always probing, Pontiggia’s haunting characters linger and resound long after the book is done.

Book Description
The Basques played a remarkably influential role in the creation and maintenance of Spain’s colonial establishment in the Philippines. Their skills as shipbuilders and businessmen, their evangelical zeal, and their ethnic cohesion and work-oriented culture made them successful as explorers, colonial administrators, missionaries, merchants, and settlers. They continued to play prominent roles in the governance and economy of the archipelago until the end of Spanish sovereignty, and their descendants still contribute in significant ways to the culture and economy of the contemporary Philippines. This book offers important new information about a little-known aspect of Philippine history and the influence of Basque immigration in the Spanish Empire, and it fills an important void in the literature of the Basque diaspora.

Book Description
The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race. Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members—the atomists—sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics.

Book Description
Ken Boa hits the mark. You don't have to look very far today to come across "popular" ideas of leadership that try hard to mimic biblical principles. The problem is that's all they do... mimic. Boa propels leadership a giant step forward with the revelation of the ultimate Christian leadership model. Boa rejects the compromises found in much of today's teaching that force-fit secular standards into a biblical mold—ideas that hover around humanistic ideas of fairness, kindness, and basic morality. Instead, Boa challenges leaders to do a serious evaluation of their approach and to follow the leadership qualities exhibited by God in his Word.

Book Description
En este libro están absolutamente todas las claves, las técnicas y los secretos para que usted aprenda a hablar bien en público y tenga más éxito. Una persona que no habla bien, no administra, gerencia, se relaciona, ni vende bien. El libro contiene centenares de enseñanzas y, además, entrevistas con grandes conferencistas, oradores, o personas que escucharon a expositores supremamente exitosos en el arte de hablar en publico. Estos son pequeños apartes de algunas de las entrevistas: ¿Cuál es el mejor orador que usted ha escuchado?--Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. Fue el mejor porque era dueño de una gran cultura. A la razón le ponía corazón, llegando al sentimiento del pueblo.--Las principales cualidades que debe tener un orador para impactar al auditorio son: a) cultura, b) inteligencia, c) ser convincente, d) emotividad.¿Cuándo un orador es bueno?--Como lo dijo Nixon: cuando convence y conmueve.¿Cuándo fracasa?--Cuando desconoce el tema y atropella las palabras y las ideas sin orden. ¿Usted cómo se siente cuando debe hablar de pie ante un grupo? --Hablar de pie, además de ser un acto de respeto por el público, es muy emocionante porque se le pueden dar a las palabras, vigor y carácter con el movimiento del cuerpo.¿Qué debe hacer una persona para ganar confianza, seguridad?--Capacitarse muy bien, prepararse muy bien. Y practicar permanentemente. PEDRO H. MORALES. ¿Qué debe hacer una persona para ganar confianza, seguridad?--Entrenamiento. La única fórmula que existe en el mundo es el aprendizaje y el entrenamiento. Hay que practicar, como en el tenis, la natación o el golf. ¿Cuándo fracasa?--Cuando no transmite su mensaje, no impacta, ni logra el interés del auditorio; cuando es monótono, cuando no es claro, cuando genera en el público el deseo de que "acabe pronto su aburrido discurso".¿A usted qué tipo de oradores, de conferencistas, lo entusiasman, lo animan a escucharlos?--Los serios, directos y honestos.RESPUESTAS DE OTROS ENTREVISTADOS: En su opinión, ¿cuándo un orador es bueno?--Cuando absorbe la atención del público; cuando lo cautiva.¿En qué casos puede considerarse un fracaso?--Cuando, tanto por el tono de su voz, como por el ritmo de su alocución, no suscita ningún tipo de reacciones favorables ni desfavorables entre la audiencia.-o-o-o-o-o-o-En su concepto, ¿cuándo un orador es bueno?--Un orador es bueno cuando tiene claro que la palabra es apenas un medio para llevar al auditorio ideas que lo persuadan, que lo impulsen a actuar. Si es elocuente, tanto mejor. Si es elegante, tanto mejor. Si no transmite ideas no es orador.AUTOR DEL LIBRO: Germán Díaz SossaRealizó radio y trabajos especiales en el servicio Latinoamericano de la BBC de Londres.

Book Description
This first English translation makes available to English-speaking readers a powerful modern Mexican novel, first published in 1961. Fernando Benítez, well-known Mexican author, journalist, and winner of Mexico's 1968 best-book award, exploits a true but little-known incident by building it into a tightly structured, tense, and tragic novel of social protest. The incident on which the novel is based is a bloody rebellion against the village feudal master touched off by joking comment on the "poisoning" of the water as one of Don Ulises's men is pushed into the plaza fountain. Feeding on itself, the rumor spreads that the "boss" has poisoned the local spring, and rebellion follows, with its violent and unforeseen consequences. The result is a frightening look at one of Mexico's major social problems and glaring ironies--that over fifty years after a revolution fought by the peasant and for the peasant, most rural groups are still living below the national economic standard.
