Auschwitz: La sobrecogedora historia de los presos que tuvieron que boxear para sobrevivir
Par José Ignacio Pérez. 2022
La sobrecogedora historia real de los presos que tuvieron que boxear para sobrevivir en el infierno nazi. K.O. Auschwitz es…
un libro magistral, escrito por José Ignacio Pérez, periodista del diario Marca que fue galardonado por partida doble por el reportaje Los púgiles de Auschwitz, un texto publicado en 2019 en el diario deportivo del que nació este libro inolvidable.** Premio online Journalism Awards en la categoría de deportes. ** Premio Nacional de periodismo deportivo Manuel Alcántara. En el mayor matadero de inocentes jamás conocido... Auschwitz. Cuentan que allí, al otro lado, detrás de la alambrada, justo ahí donde el hombre nunca fue hombre, sino bestia, una vez un nazi preguntó: ¿Quién sabe boxear? Unos dijeron que sí y otros dijeron que no; pero ya fuera sí o no... Allí no era vivir, sino morir. Cuentan que allí, donde el hombre por no tener no tenía ni nombre, sólo era número, triángulo o estrella y un color, un SS aburrido, cansado de matar, buscaba diversión; un rato de asueto para distraer el sopor de asesinar. Y entonces volvió a preguntar: ¿Quién sabe boxear? Y cuentan que allí, detrás de la alambrada, donde los presos no eran presos, sino carne de cañón; seres humanos, más de un millón, todos asesinados y convertidos en humo, ceniza y carbón; unos hombres buenos subieron al ring por obligación, para entretener al maldito SS que buscaba diversión. Y quizá esa fue su salvación, porque allí, entre mugre, hambruna, enfermedad y mucha mezquindad, en los combates de boxeo se ganaba un poco de sopa, mantequilla y pan. Así lo recuerdan Noah Klieger y los otros «boxeadores de Auschwitz». Sobrecogedores testimonios de los que se pusieron los guantes para sobrevivir en el campo de concentración nazi.Noah, aquel nonagenario con la mirada clara y la piel marcada por la desgracia. Manchada por ese tatuaje infame y añejo, desgastado, que empañaba su antebrazo. 1-7-2-3-4-5, el número de la muerte. Noah, el superviviente que durante su visita a Madrid, un día del mes de enero de 2018, vestía todo de gris, claro, oscuro y marengo, quizá como un recuerdo de lo que le tocó vivir. Tiempos color ceniza. Su cuerpo de nonagenario estaba encogido, encorvado por la edad, pero su mente despejada. Dispuesta para recordar. Noah, el que cuenta que allí, al otro lado, detrás de la alambrada, un día escuchó: O sabes boxear o vas a la cámara de gas. En este libro se narra la desgarradora historia de los presos que tuvieron que boxear para sobrevivir en Auschwitz, un relato concebido con los recuerdos de Noah Klieger, Tadeusz Pietrzykowski, Jacko Razon, Judah Vandervelde, Solomon Roth, Salamo Arouch, Andrzej Rablin... y muchos más. La crítica ha dicho...«Un libro inolvidable. Corran a comprarlo.»Alberto R. Barbero, Marca «Una maravilla.»José Félix Díaz, periodista «Un relato duro, que nació como un reportaje periodístico, pero con entidadsuficiente para extenderse por las más de 300 páginas de este libro que habla de víctimas y del deporte como salvación.»La Razón «Es una auténtica maravilla. Gran trabajo de José Ignacio Pérez. Enhorabuena, Córner. No todo es futbol.»Angel Cárceles, periodista en TeleDeporte«Magistral libro.»Jesús Elorza, Reportero 24 «Con una excelente ambientación, bien escrito, el autor logra transportarnos a ese infierno de humo, carbón y ceniza al que quedó reducido la vida de miles de personas.»Más LeerBuenos hábitos: Una guía minimalista para una vida mejor
Par Fumio Sasaki. 2018
Del autor del bestseller internacional Goodbye, Things, llega un nuevo fenómeno: una guía que nos ayudará a adoptar nuevos hábitos…
y a convertirnos en la mejor versión de nosotros mismos. Fumio Sasaki cambió su vida cuando se convirtió en minimalista, pero antes que nada tuvo que convertirlo en un hábito. Todos nosotros vivimos nuestras vidas basándonos en los hábitos que hemos ido formando, desde el momentoen que nos levantamos por la mañana hasta lo que comemos y bebemos o la probabilidad de que lleguemos a ir o no al gimnasio. En Buenos hábitos, Sasaki nos explica cómo podemos adquirir los nuevos hábitos que queremos y, lo más importante, cómo deshacernos de aquellos que no nos hacen ningún bien. Basándose en las principales teorías sobre la ciencia de la formación de hábitos de la psicología cognitiva, la neurociencia y la sociología,junto con ejemplos de la cultura popular y las técnicas experimentadas por el propio autor, Fumio Sasaki desentraña las percepciones erróneas y comunes sobre conceptos como «fuerza de voluntad» y «talento», ofreciendo una guía paso a paso hacia el equilibrio y el éxito, una serie de principios para crear unos buenos hábitos para mejorar y cambiar nuestra vida. La crítica ha dicho...«Una guía práctica que ofrece una metodología para desarrollar hábitos útiles y saludables. A aquellos a los que se les haga difícil establecer una rutina les encantará el método Sasaki.»Publishers Weekly«Solo diré que hoy mismo comienzo con un par de hábitos que, después de reflexionar, creo que van a ser beneficiosos para mi vida. ¡Muy recomendado!»Aytaragc, BabelioWhat Winners Won't Tell You: Lessons from a Legendary Defender
Par Malcolm Jenkins. 2023

knows a thing or two about winning. Over the course of his thirteen-year NFL career, the now retired defensive back&’s triumphs extend beyond that on the football field. As a successful entrepreneur, he has seen the blossoming of his business ventures with an eponymous company named Malcolm Inc., and a media conglomerate named Listen Up Media. As a philanthropist, he strives to make a positive difference in the lives of young people in underserved communities through The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. And as the father of two daughters, he understands the challenges of loving his children, and preparing them for an often unkind and hostile world. But for every triumph, there is a tragedy, for every loss, a lesson. In What Winners Won&’t Tell You, Jenkins share with readers the insight he&’s gained from winning and losing alike. One moment, Jenkins is riding high from being the only NFL player to have Super Bowl victories against Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and then he&’s navigating the harrowing low of a divorce from the mother of his children. In another moment he&’s advocating for the advances of Black people in America, and then feuding publicly about the direction of this advocacy. Providing fans and readers alike with an intimate portrayal of life on and off the field, detailed breakdowns of his greatest moments against the games premiere players, and poignant reflections about what it means to straddle the narrow line between victory and defeat, What Winners Won&’t Tell You is the best kept secret for those who want to know what it takes to be a champion.A Case-Solution Companion to Building Consulting Skills for Sport and Performance Psychology (Building Consulting Skills for Sport and Performance Psychology)

performance environments. Offering a companion text to Building Consulting Skills for Sport and Performance Psychology: An International Case Study Collection, this book provides three solutions for each of the case studies introduced.

This clearly structured book serves as a useful resource for instructors looking to deepen discussion and offer alternatives to students’ ideas on how to approach certain cases. It will also be of interest to practitioners when approaching similar situations in their own work and looking for new pathways that they may not have considered.The Life of a Sports Agent: The Middleman

UNA VERDADERA LECCIÓN DE PASIÓN Y CORAJE DE UNA DE LAS FUTBOLISTAS MÁS QUERIDAS DE ESTE PAÍS «¿Qué es un…
tumor en el cerebelo? ¿Qué tengo que hacer? ¿Volveré a jugar?». Esas fueron las primeras preguntas que se le pasaron por la mente a la exitosa futbolista Virginia Torrecilla al recibir los resultados de las pruebas que le habían realizado a raíz de un persistente dolor de cabeza. Era el año 2020 y, aunque ella entonces no lo sabía, su vida acababa de cambiar para siempre.Desde sus primeros años en Mallorca, cuando su abuela la tenía que sacar a la fuerza del campo de fútbol en el que destacaba por encima de cualquier niño, hasta los momentos que marcaron el principio de una nueva era en el fútbol femenino en España o el día en que le detectaron un tumor cerebral que debía ser operado con urgencia, en este libro Virginia Torrecilla nos habla con el corazón en la mano de los sueños, de la incertidumbre, del cáncer, de la importancia del compañerismo, del miedo a la muerte, del regalo de estar viva… Y, principalmente, nos habla de superación, de esa capacidad que tiene el ser humano para seguir adelante día tras día pese a las mayores dificultades. Porque, como dice la propia Virginia, no nacemos valientes, el valiente se construye ante la adversidad. Reseñas: «Este libro que tienes en las manos no es un libro cualquiera, es más bien una sumade momentos que te harán reír, pensar, recordar, sentir e incluso llorar».DEL PRÓLOGO DE ALEXIA PUTELLAS «En estas páginas habéis descubierto el relatode unapersona que no ha tenido problema en plantarle cara a lavida una y otra vez, en reinventarse y seguir adelante».DEL EPÍLOGO DE NAHIKARI GARCÍA PÉREZLEGO Space: 19781992

But his story begins with a tragedy: as a child, Trotter burned down his family&’s home. The years that follow are the story of a life snatched from the flames, forged in fire. In The Upcycled Self, Trotter doesn&’t only narrate a riveting and moving portrait of the artist as a young man, he gives readers a courageous model of what it means to live an examined life. In vivid vignettes, he tells the dramatic stories of the four powerful relationships that shaped him—with community, friends, art, and family—each a complex weave of love, discovery, trauma, and loss. And beyond offering the compellingly poetic account of one artist&’s creative and emotional origins, Trotter explores the vital questions we all have to confront about our formative years: How can we see the story of our own young lives clearly? How do we use that story to understand who we&’ve become? How do we forgive the people who loved and hurt us? How do we rediscover and honor our first dreams? And, finally, what do we take forward, what do we pass on, what do we leave behind? This is the beautifully bluesy story of a boy genius&’s coming-of-age that illuminates the redemptive power of the upcycle.Shameless Sex: Choose Your Own Pleasure Path to Unlock the Sex Life You've Been Waiting For

family, and family makes a life.When Mike Pence was a young politician, reporters used to ask him: &“where do you see yourself in five, ten years?&”Without fail, the former Vice President would reply, &“home for dinner.&”This answer was an honest assessment of his priorities. Throughout his career, Pence has been adamant about putting his family first. As he often told his staff, he&’d rather lose an election than lose his family. Go Home for Dinner is an in-depth, practical guide to balancing the demands of life with the long-term satisfaction that only a commitment to your family can bring. In this personal account, former Vice President Mike Pence champions one of his most deeply held beliefs: that faith makes a family, and family makes a life. And, through straightforward advice and personal storytelling, he shows readers how to do the same. In short chapters, Pence walks us through the principles that he and his wife, Karen, developed to raise their family. He gives credit to his parents for setting the precedent of gathering around the dinner table and for being attentive listeners. He discusses how he and Karen prioritized their relationship, even when they struggled professionally through two failed congressional races and personally with infertility. He reveals how he learned to trust God, make difficult choices, and take leaps of faith, all with an eye to what his family needed. He also brings in examples of other friends and colleagues, to demonstrate how these principles look in the lives of other families. The Pence family is far from perfect, but the values portrayed in this book have helped them remain together—and thrive—through their extraordinary journey in public service. Go Home for Dinner is filled with practical, timeless advice about how readers can pursue their dreams while keeping their family close. This is a book for anyone who wants to achieve their goals and put their family and faith at the center of their life—but who needs a nudge to get home in time for dinner.Throwing the Book

lid on a lifetime of trying to keep the biggest names in the sport on best behaviour.There aren't many people who can say they've been the thirty-first man on the pitch during a World Cup humdinger, Grand Slam decider or Premiership and European Cup final; listened to the sobs of a 20-stone prop as he tries to belt out his national anthem; heard the crunch of bones after some of the mightiest hits known to the game; or been yards away from the greatest players of the last twenty years, doing almost impossible things with a rugby ball - especially when you're a working-class lad from the Forest of Dean, wondering how you ever got there in the first place.Candid, humble and warmly told, Throwing the Book is a definitive account of what it means to be a rugby referee and a love letter to the sport that has provided Wayne with so much. Covering his childhood days, family life, career highs and lows, side-step into law, as well as what's next in store for Wayne both on and off the pitch, this book reveals the man behind the referee for the very first time.Serious when it needs to be, but also rich in good humour and humanity, Throwing the Book is a memoir to remember.What turns you on?
