Book Description
Julius was born in a mansion on Salaverry Avenue, directly across from the old San Felipe Hippodrome. Life-size Disney characters and cowboy movie heroes romp across the walls of his nursery. Out in the carriage house, his great-grandfather's ornate, moldering carriage takes him on imaginary adventures. But Julius's father is dead, and his beautiful young mother passes through her children's lives like an ephemeral shooting star. Despite the soft shelter of family and money, hard realities overshadow Julius's expanding world, just as the rugged Andes loom over his home in Lima. This lyrical, richly textured novel, first published in 1970 as Un mundo para Julius, opens new territory in Latin American literature with its focus on the social elite of Peru. In this postmodern novel Bryce Echenique incisively charts the decline of an influential, centuries-old aristocratic family faced with the invasion of foreign capital in the 1950s. Winner of the Outstanding Translation Award of the American Literary Translators Association and the Columbia University Translation Center Award.

Book Description
There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

Book Description
You are in possession of one of humanity's most ever jealously guarded treasures! This knowledge has been passed down not through written words but verbally through the ages... Since ancient times, men have insatiably searched for answers; and during the early days of our consciousness on this planet, we had a much purer mind and body, which allowed us to discern things better, with more agility and clarity, during which we were able to gain awareness of how certain things work, especially how we interact with ourselves and our environment. The discoveries were amazing, divine, and magical to be conservative. Those discoveries changed the course of humanity forever! The knowledge was so powerful that it was never written in an effort to ensure that only a few would receive it verbally. At a certain point, these jealously-guarded secrets were controlled by secret societies whose societies are composed of the most powerful individuals on earth called the elite class and the minority who believes that everyone should have access to this knowledge; they decided to share it, and now you have in your hands something very difficult to describe its true value. With this knowledge, if you apply it, you have the power to transform your life forever! Discover your inborn/inherited Divine secret abilities within you. With this knowledge and its power, may you never be the same. (KT) Respectfully and with true and honest love for your success, Carlos A. Llorens !Estas en posesion de uno de los tesoros celosamente guardados de los humanos! Este conocimiento ha sido transmitido, no escrito, sino verbalmente a traves de los siglos... Desde la antiguedad, los hombres han buscado insaciablemente respuestas, y durante los primeros tiempos de nuestra conciencia en este planeta, teniamos una mente y un cuerpo mucho mas puros, lo que nos permitio discernir mejor las cosas, con mas agilidad y claridad, durante los cuales pudimos obtener la conciencia de como funcionan ciertas cosa, especialmente como interactuamos con nosotros mismos y nuestro entorno; los descubrimientos fueron asombrosos, divinos y magicos para ser conservadores; !!!esos descubrimientos cambiaron el curso de la humanidad para siempre!!! Esos descubrimientos permitieron a los primeros hombres iluminados ejercitar algunas de nuestras santas habilidades dotadas y lograr algunos de los mayores logros jamas conocidos por la humanidad; el conocimiento era tan poderoso, que nunca fue escrito, en el esfuerzo de asegurar que solo aquellos que demostraron poseer los requisitos previos los recibirian verbalmente a traves de un proceso de tutoria. En cierto punto, esos secretos celosamente guardados fueron controlados a traves de lo que hoy conocemos como Sociedades Secretas, cuyas Sociedades estan compuestas por los individuos mas poderosos de la tierra llamada la clase elite, esta clase se divide en dos partes, la mayoria la cual cree que el resto de la poblacion debe trabajar para ellos, ya que saben como manejar el planeta, y la minoria que cree que todos deben tener acceso a este conocimiento; gracias a su amor por la humanidad, decision y voluntad de compartir este conocimiento, ahora tienen en sus manos algo muy dificil de describir, su verdadero valor. Con este conocimiento y si lo aplicas, !tienes el poder de transformar tu vida para siempre! Descubriras los secretos de tus habilidades heredadas nacidas dentro de ti. De K. T.: "Con este conocimiento y su poder, que nunca seas el mismo". Respetuosamente, con amor verdadero y honesto por su exito: Carlos A. Llorens.
