Yet the U.S.-Mexican border remains one of the most permeable boundaries in the world, breached daily by Mexicans in search of work. Thousands die crossing the line, and those who reach the other side are branded illegals, undocumented and unprotected.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Winner of the Premio Planeta--the Spanish-speaking world's richest literary prize The spirit of Stieg Larsson visits Mexico City (Kirkus) Milena, or The Most Beautiful Femur in the World is a pulse-pounding international political thriller about sex, power, and information--and the extreme lengths people go to get them. When Milena's lover and protector, the chief of Mexico's most important newspaper, dies in her arms, she knows it's only a matter of time before the ruthless thugs behind the human-trafficking ring that kidnapped her from her Croatian village catch her and force her back into sex slavery. Soon, three comrades bound together by childhood friendships, romantic entanglements, and a restless desire for justice are after her as well--but for different reasons. The new chief of the newspaper, columnist Tom s Arizmendi, must retrieve Milena's mysterious black book before the media empire he has inherited is torn asunder, while dubious intelligence expert Jaime Lemus wants to use the sensitive information the book contains about the crimes of the world's power elite to further his political puppeteering. Lastly, the noblest of the trio, rising politician Amelia Navarro has made it her mission to protect women and children from the abuses of men in power. Told at a heartracing pace and full of the journalistic detail and sly humor that Mexican master Jorge Zepeda Patterson has become renowned for, Milena, or The Most Beautiful Femur in the World is a romp across Europe and the Americas that traces the vast networks of capital, data, crime, and coerced labor that bind together today's globalized world. Yet, in the beautiful and tenacious Milena, we are reminded that the survivors of the darker facets of modernity are not mere statistics, but living, breathing, individuals.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Cada vez que agachamos la cabeza, nos sometemos o accedemos a peticiones irracionales, le damos un duro golpe a la autoestima: nos flagelamos. Y aunque salgamos bien librados por el momento, logrando disminuir la adrenalina y la incomodidad que genera la ansiedad, nos queda el sinsabor de la derrota. Qui n no se ha mirado alguna vez al espejo tratando de perdonarse la sumisi n o no haber dicho lo que en verdad pensaba? Qui n no ha sentido, as sea de vez en cuando, la lucha interior entre la indignaci n por el agravio y el miedo a enfrentarlo? Aun as , en cada uno de nosotros hay un reducto de principios donde el yo se niega a rendir pleites a y se rebela. Tenemos la capacidad de indignarnos cuando alguien viola nuestros derechos o somos v ctimas de la humillaci n, la explotaci n o el maltrato: podemos decir NO.En el proceso de aprender a querernos a nosotros mismos, junto al autoconcepto, la autoimagen, la autoestima y la autoeficacia, que ya he mencionado en Aprendiendo a quererse a s mismo, hay que abrirle campo a un nuevo auto: el autorrespeto, la tica personal que separa lo negociable de lo no negociable, el punto de no retorno. Detr s del ego que acapara, est el yo que vive y ama, pero tambi n est el yo aporreado, el yo que exige respeto, el yo que no quiere doblegarse, el yo humano: el yo digno. Comienza a decir que NO y a ser m s asertivo.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In recent decades, the conduct of international relations among and within states has been very considerably altered. Today, the content of these relations relies as much on international professional and civil society networks as it does on state-to-state transactions. The role of the Internet has been fundamental in widening communications opportunities for citizens and civil society, with a profound effect on democracy transition. In consequence, diplomacy has taken on a much more human and public face. Twenty-first century ambassadors and diplomats are learning to engage with civil societies, especially on the large themes of democratic change -- an engagement that is often resisted by authoritarian regimes. A Diplomat's Handbook for Democracy Development Support presents a wide variety of specific experiences of diplomats on the ground, identifying creative, human and material resources. More broadly, it is about the policy-making experience in capitals, as democratic states try to align national interests and democratic values. The Handbook also documents the increasingly prominent role of civil society as the essential building block for successful democratic transitions, with each case study examining specific national experiences in the aspiration for democratic and pluralistic governance, and lessons learned on all sides -- for better or for worse. While each situation is different -- presenting unique, unstructured problems and opportunities -- a review of these experiences bears out the validity of the authors' belief in the interdependence of democratic engagements, and provides practitioners with encouragement, counsel and a greater capacity to support democracy everywhere. …

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Este libro logra dimensionar con destreza al hombre y al pol tico, para presentar un retrato inaudito del candidato dem crata . The Washington Post El reconocido periodista Evan Osnos, ganador de los premios Pulitzer y National Book Award, combina su minuciosa investigaci n con el tono ntimo de las entrevistas que sostuvo con Joe Biden en varias ocasiones. Osnos logra revelar los matices del personaje a trav s de m s de un centenar de conversaciones con figuras como Barack Obama y miembros de la familia Biden, activistas y oponentes ideol gicos. Esta biograf a ilumina la vida personal del hombre que perdi a su familia en un accidente automovil stico, a la vez que muestra una admirable trayectoria pol tica: su carrera en el Senado, sus ocho a os como vicepresidente de Estados Unidos en el gobierno de Obama y su decisi n de postularse a la presidencia por el Partido Dem crata. El retrato m s completo y brillante del hombre con el poder de frenar a Trump. El fracaso en alg n punto de la vida es inevitable, pero darse por vencido es imperdonable . Joe Biden ==================================================================================================== A_concise, brilliant, and trenchant examination of Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s successful lifelong quest for the presidency by National Book Award winner Evan Osnos. President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest--fortunate to have sustained a fifty-year political career that reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses and disappointments that he has suffered. Yet even as Biden's life has been shaped by drama, it has also been powered by a willingness, rare at the top ranks of politics, to confront his shortcomings, errors, and reversals of fortune. As he says, Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable. His trials have forged in him a deep empathy for others in hardship--an essential quality as he leads America toward recovery and renewal. Blending up-close journalism and broader context, Evan Osnos, who won the National Book Award in 2014, draws on nearly a decade of reporting for The New Yorker to capture the characters and meaning of 2020's extraordinary presidential election. It is based on lengthy interviews with Biden and on revealing conversations with more than a hundred others, including President Barack Obama, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and a range of activists, advisers, opponents, and Biden family members. This portrayal illuminates Biden's long and eventful career in the Senate, his eight years as Obama's vice president, his sojourn in the political wilderness after being passed over for Hillary Clinton in 2016, his decision to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency, and his choice of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. Osnos ponders the difficulties Biden faces as his presidency begins and weighs how a changing country, a deep well of experiences, and a rigorous approach to the issues, have altered his positions. In this nuanced portrait, Biden emerges as flawed, yet resolute, and tempered by the flame of tragedy--a man who just may be uncannily suited for his moment in history.…
