Par Helen Macdonald. 2021
"In Vesper Flights Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best loved essays, along with new pieces on topics…
ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches to her own private vespers while trying to fall asleep. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences: observing songbirds from the Empire State Building as they migrate through the Tribute of Light, watching tens of thousands of cranes in Hungary, seeking the last golden orioles in Suffolk's poplar forests. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds' nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife. By one of this century's most important and insightful nature writers, Vesper Flights is a captivating and foundational book about observation, fascination, time, memory, love and loss and how we make sense of the world around us." -- GoodreadsVolver a ser feliz: cambia tus pensamientos y realidad, y convierte tus intentos en triunfos

Par Leila Guerriero. 2020
"In the late 1990s, a wave of suicides rocked Las Heras, a small oil town in the province of Santa…
Cruz. Most of the dead were around twenty-five years old and were typical inhabitants of the town, children of modest but traditional families. However, the official list of these suicides was never drawn up. Leila Guerriero traveled to this desolate Patagonian spot, talked to the families and friends of the suicides, walked the same streets and visited every corner of the town. The result is this stark and precise account that not only reconstructs the tragic episodes of those years but also magnificently depicts the daily life of a community far from the big cities. Las Heras, with its wave of unemployment and lack of future for young people, is an enigma whose resolution is far from definitive: suicides, like a dismal destiny, followed one another for a long time. This is a disturbing chronicle that reads with fascination and unveils a reality marked by horror, prejudice and indifference." -- Amazon.comChina irrumpe en Latinoamérica: ¿dragón o panda?

experiences, including his teenage daughter's pregnancy, his mother's death from Alzheimer's, and his son's heart attack, to illustrate lessons learned." -- Provided by NLSUna canción inesperada: un testimonio bello y enriquecedor
Par Leire Quintana. 2016
"Leire Quintana decided to leave her life in a big city behind, retreat to a monastery, and learn to listen…
to her own song. How did this experience change the way she saw the world? What life lessons did she learn? Leire Quintana has a lot to tell us: 'I was overwhelmed by the thought of losing my family or friends, and even the impossibility of making new friends because I was in a cloistered monastery. Later I came to recognize that without solitude, the solitude of my cell, I could not progress. [...] Little by little I discovered the causes, the hidden needs that I hadn't known how to manage, I questioned my fears, I embraced them and I knew, by offering them my attention, that that was all they needed to disappear.'" -- Translation provided by NLSA statistician and medical doctor believes most people hold mistaken ideas unsupported by facts about global issues such as poverty,…

Par Elizabeth Duval. 2020
"As a student of Modern Philosophy and Literature in Paris, the writer and activist Elizabeth Duval (Alcalá de Henares, 2000)…
starts a diary that inevitably ends up transforming her reality, mediated by a kind of fictional conception of her own existence. With an exceptional talent to make her prose converse with the history of ideas, thus proposing an interesting device for intellectual stimulation, throughout Queen numerous issues circulate that zigzag between public and private spheres. Among its themes, the following stand out: university life as an initiation to maturity, politics under late capitalism, and post-adolescent love from a perspective that goes beyond all our expectations on the subject and sublimates it in a reflection on affections and desire as universal as radically new." -- Provided by publisherIn vitro (Ensayo (Editorial Almadía))
Par Isabel Zapata. 2021
"In vitro is a pregnancy essay. On the page, the writing gropes its way through unexplored territory. In the laboratory,…
under the watchful eye of the microscope, fertilization is also rehearsed. Pregnancy and writing take place on that threshold of possibilities. In this book, Isabel Zapata shines a light--or a lens--on an experience that seems to exist in a tiny darkness. While life makes its way in a Petri dish, the author poses questions that reveal the rawness of a treatment marked by uncertainty: How is the desire to be a mother articulated? Is there really a resolved mourning? With what voice does what we keep silent speak? Who breaks in childbirth? In In vitro the hidden is revealed as a daughter begins to take shape." -- Translation provided by NLSLatinitas: una celebración de 40 soñadoras audaces

With gorgeous, hand-painted illustrations, Menéndez shines a spotlight on the power of childhood dreams. From Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to singer Selena Quintanilla to NASA's first virtual reality engineer, Evelyn Miralles, this is a book for aspiring artists, scientists, activists, and more. These women followed their dreams-and they just might encourage you to follow yours!" -- GoodreadsMemorias de una infamia
Par Lydia Cacho. 2014
"In 2005, after publishing her book The Demons of Eden - where she denounced the very powerful men behind the…
a Mexican child pornography ring - Lydia Cacho became a target. Exactly eight months after the publication of the book, one morning as she was making her way to work, Lydia was apprehended by the police from the neighboring state of Puebla, and taken into custody during a nightmarish 24 hours during which she was tortured, intimidated and abused. In this chilling memoir, comparable to Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, Lydia tells her story and exposes the horrific ways in which women - and young girls in particular - are abused then disposed of, while an oftentimes corrupt government simply sits and watches." -- GoodreadsAguas de estuario

Ocean, and devoted herself to the promotion of reading and culture. Incorporating elements from her surroundings, she elaborates metaphors that account for her internal tide and the tensions between the center and the periphery. Through writing, the author constructs a personal history and geography." -- Translation provided by NLSFrutos extraños: (crónicas reunidas 2001-2019) (Narrativa hispánica (Alfaguara (Firm)))

of a profession that is going through difficult times and works the miracle of making us believe in the profession of journalism again. The articles collected in this book, written between 2001 and 2019, constitute a master class in journalism, show the world from a unique, intense and different perspective, and have the capacity to knock the reader out." -- Translation provided by NLSBelleza en lugar de cenizas: cómo recibir sanidad emocional

and wounded them inwardly. They can be healed. God has a plan, and Isaiah 61 reveals that the Lord came to heal the brokenhearted. He wants to heal victims of abuse and emotional wounding. Joyce Meyer is a victim of the physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse she suffered as a child. Yet today she has a nationwide ministry of emotional healing to others like herself. In |Beauty for Ashes| she outlines major truths that brought healing in her life and describes how other victims of abuse can also experience God's healing in their lives. Joyce Meyer suffered for thirty-three years the devastating effects of abuse. Now God has exchanged her ashes for beauty and called her to help others allow Him to do the same for them." -- GoodreadsTun-ta-ca-tun: more stories and poems in English and Spanish for children

Par Luis Felipe Passalacqua. 2020
"A book that takes us beyond any paradigm, dogma or charismatic authority, directing us towards an understanding of the pure…
Self. Between stories, inspiring reflections and revelations, we are immersed in a sea of possibilities for our evolution and freedom as people, as Souls. This interesting and unique compilation of ideas, narratives and affirmations takes us down shadowy paths, where we are encouraged to confront the learned and the intuitive, to visit ourselves without being sly. Luis Felipe, anxious to "see" new seeds germinate on the fertile surface of the conscience of all those who are not afraid to evolve, offers us several paths. His firm, palpable push invites us to explore with curiosity an infinite and permanent reality. A provocative invitation to enjoy his astonishing worldview and life perspective." -- Translation provided by NLSUn seguidor de Montaigne mira La Habana (Archipiélago Caribe #04)
Par Antonio José Ponte. 2019
"In this book by Cuban Antonio José Ponte, now republished and updated with an epilogue, we find a fusion of…
chronicle, essay and poetry, a mixture of autobiography and fiction, in which the narrator, writer and flâneur, wonders about cities of origin and imagines his own origin. He envelops us in the traces of a flaky, multiple and varied city, made of diverse and dissimilar layers, real, literary or fantastic, located already in the past, already in the present, utopian and counter-utopian, in which the journey through the city is also a journey through the universe." -- Translation provided by NLSUna vez fui tú: Cómo Encontré Mi Voz Y Hoy Paso El Micrófono

journalist and was the first Latina to found a national independent non-profit newsroom in the United States. But before all that, she was a girl with big hair and even bigger dreams. Born in Mexico and raised in the vibrant neighborhood of Hyde Park, Chicago, Maria was always looking for ways to better understand the world around her and where she fit into it. Here, she combines stories from her life, beginning with her family's indelible experience of immigration all the way through the first time she heard her own voice on national radio, with truths about the United States' long and complicated relationship with immigrants. Funny, frank, and wise, Maria's story is one you will want to read again and again, and her voice will inspire you to find your own." -- Provided by publisher
