López Bravo

Autor: Gabriel Pérez Gómez

Número de Páginas: 369

Gregorio López Bravo se defnía a sí mismo como «liberal reprimido» mientras formaba parte del Gobierno de Franco como ministro de Industria y luego de Asuntos Exteriores. Sin participar de la ideología falangista dominante, supo ganarse a Franco con una política realista, que fue sacando a España de su régimen autocrático y le abrió las puertas a un mundo que le había dado la espalda. Llegó hasta donde pudo, en una nación aún no democrática. Bajo su mandato se establecieron relaciones diplomáticas con algunos países del Este y con China, y esa audacia provocó su caída al llegar Carrero Blanco a la Presidencia del Gobierno. Gibraltar, el Tratado de Amistad y Cooperación con los EE. UU., el tratado preferencial con la CEE, las relaciones Iglesia-Estado, el mundo árabe... son algunos de los momentos importantes de este ingeniero naval, padre de nueve hijos, fallecido en un trágico accidente de aviación.

Bravo Two Zero

Autor: Andy Mcnab

Número de Páginas: 468

Sergeant Andy McNab recounts the story of the top secret mission that would reveal the secrets of the SAS to the world for the first time. Their location: Iraq Their mission: to sever a vital enemy underground communication link, to find and destroy mobile Scud launchers Their call sign: Bravo Two Zero When eight members of the elite SAS regiment embark on a highly covert operation, they are each laden with 15 stones of equipment, needing to tab 20km across the desert to reach their objective. But within days, their location is compromised. They engage in a fierce battle. They escape on foot to the Syrian border. Three men die. One escapes. But four men are captured. For them, the worst is yet to come. Delivered to Baghdad, they are tortured with a savagery for which not even their intensive SAS training has prepared them... This is a story of superhuman courage, strength, endurance and dark humour in the face of overwhelming odds. It shows just how much it takes to be a member of the SAS. _____________________________________________ 'The best account yet of the SAS in action.'

Fútbol

Autor: Ilan Stavans

Número de Páginas: 118

This insightful compilation offers interdisciplinary views on soccer among Latinos. In contrast with its relative lack of popularity in the United States, elsewhere, professional soccer is a hugely popular sport whose key players rival movie stars in popularity and influence. For many Latinos, especially those who emigrated to the United States, it is the game of choice. While Latino players are still not a major force in U.S. soccer, Latino fans certainly are, comprising, by one estimate, 45 percent of Major League Soccer attendees. Seeking to explain the allure and the influence of soccer among Latinos, particularly those living in the United States, Fútbol offers a collection of essays that treat the game from a wide variety of perspectives. These essays—including reminiscences and impressionistic assessments—touch on topics as diverse as politics, religion, sociology, marketing, athletics, and gender relations as they attempt to contextualize soccer in the Latino community.

The political and economic rise of this small but influential community of New Christian bankers and merchants is analysed against the backdrop of its institutional dynamics, in an overall perspective never before conceived. The political, religious, economic, legal, charitable and disciplinary history of the community is thus explored through the analysis of the richly detailed protocol books, written between 1652 and 1682.

Ese gol existe

Autor: Aldo Panfichi

Número de Páginas: 477

Este libro es un esfuerzo fascinante y bien documentado de sociología histórica que aborda, desde distintas perspectivas, la relación entre fútbol y sociedad durante el largo siglo veinte peruano. Los trabajos que componen este volumen se agrupan en un capítulo introductorio que presenta una epistemología para una sociología del fútbol seguido de otros trece capítulos organizados en tres áreas temáticas: identidades y transformaciones comunitarias del fútbol peruano; tensiones y rivalidades de la vida futbolística; y la construcción de narrativas culturales del balompié. El libro reúne a historiadores, sociólogos, literatos, periodistas y médicos que utilizando distintas metodologías y narrativas, que el editor alterna con fotografías y caricaturas, producen una visión innovadora de una problemática central en la vida social de los pueblos. Sin duda un volumen imperdible para todos los interesados en el futbol como laboratorio de análisis de la sociedad de ayer, hoy y mañana.

El otro partido

Autor: Aldo Panfichi , Gisselle Vila , Noelia Chávez , Sergio Saravia

Número de Páginas: 169

Acabamos de asistir a un mundial de fútbol luego de 36 años y el país entero ha vibrado de emoción y patriotismo deportivo. Sin embargo, es hora de preguntarnos: ¿por qué los logros del fútbol peruano han sido escasos o excepcionales? ¿Qué impide que nuestro fútbol sea más competitivo en el ámbito internacional? Si alguna vez tuvimos una "época dorada" de triunfos, ¿cuáles han sido las razones por las que nos ha resultado tan difícil triunfar? Estas son las preguntas que se hacen los peruanos y que los autores de este libro buscan responder. Por ello, El otro partido: la disputa por el gobierno del fútbol peruano analiza el proceso de formación institucional del fútbol profesional a partir de las relaciones entre los dirigentes deportivos y las políticas de Estado en cuatro periodos históricos específicos. Asimismo, reconoce los entramados organizativos de los clubes, las asociaciones, las federaciones y los entes rectores, pero se concentra en identificar cómo las prácticas sociales, los planteamientos ideológicos de los gobiernos y la ubicación del deporte en la idea de nación configuran un modo particular de manejar el fútbol profesional. Un modo...

The Real Bravo Two Zero

Autor: Michael Asher

Número de Páginas: 197

The true story of the most famous SAS operation in history. 'Bravo Two Zero' was the code-name of the famous SAS operation: a classic story of bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. BRAVO TWO ZERO by patrol commander 'Andy McNab' became an international bestseller, as did the book by 'Chris Ryan' (THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY). Both men became millionaires. Three members of the patrol were killed. One, veteran sergeant Vince Phillips, was blamed in both books for a succession of mistakes. As Michael Asher reveals, the stories in BRAVO TWO ZERO and THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY grew considerably in the telling. Their heroic tales of taking out tanks with their rocket launchers, mowing down hundreds of Iraqi soldiers, the silent stabbing of the occasional sentry, were never mentioned at their post-war debriefings... In an investigation literally in the footsteps of the patrol, Michael Asher tells the true story.

Hasta el mojito siempre

Autor: Daniel Pinilla

Número de Páginas: 454

Existe el primer mundo, existe el segundo... y luego está Cuba. En su tercera incursión en la literatura de viajes, Daniel Pinilla nos propone un periplo por la mayor de las Antillas, el último exponente del comunismo en el hemisferio occidental y un país que no resiste comparación con el resto. Intelectuales, artistas, balseros, revolucionarios, disidentes, ajedrecistas, jineteras, obreros, periodistas, atletas, santeros... Todos tienen voz en un relato que reconstruye la Historia de la Cuba eterna e intuye un futuro que se promete tan apasionante como incierto. Pinilla completa la narración con su testimonio en primera persona como periodista que cubrió en la trinchera redaccional la visita de Barack Obama a Raúl Castro. En Hasta el mojito siempre no encontrará impostura, sino una visión limpia y de mirada larga sobre un país que enamora irremisiblemente al visitante. Ya lo dijo el gran José Martí: “La libertad es el derecho que tienen las personas de actuar libremente, pensar y hablar sin hipocresía”. Pues eso.

Strike Force Bravo

Autor: Mack Maloney

Número de Páginas: 258

The counterterrorism battle shifts to Southeast Asia in the second explosive Superhawks thriller from Mack Maloney, bestselling author of the Wingman series A terrorist cell with direct links to al-Qaeda’s leader captures Singapore’s Tonka Tower Hotel, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. The terrorists contact dozens of news organizations so the world can witness its destruction. News copters surround the building just as the Superhawks enter—rappelling from military choppers, guns blazing, disarming the terrorists’ bombs seconds before they detonate. It would seem that kudos are due, but the Superhawks are supposed to be top secret. The Pentagon bigwigs are steamed and send in a team of Navy SEALs to wrangle with the Superhawks. But al-Qaeda is hatching a new plot involving Stinger missiles. Can the Superhawks stop it in time? Or will the sprawling American military bureaucracy trip itself up before they even have a chance to try?

Originally published in 1951, this book explores the development in England of the Sephardi branch of the Jewish community, the co-heirs, with their kinsmen in Holland, in Italy, in North America and in the Middle East, of the Golden Age of Jewish history in Spain.

Superhawks: Strike Force Bravo

Autor: Mack Maloney

Número de Páginas: 356

A suicidal terrorist cell threatens to detonate explosives in a Singapore skyscraper taking thousands of innocent American lives. No demands. Just sheer massive destruction-televised as it happens across the globe. As quickly as the terror unfolds, it's stopped dead-by the Superhawks, a crack team of patriotic warriors who live and breathe American vengeance. Their next step is getting the man behind the aborted attack-one of the most elusive terrorists in the world. Abdul Kazeel, supermook to Al Qaeda, has escaped their wrath before. Sequestered in a Filipino compound his new mission is to create a fanatical terrorist army. His planned attack on American soil is unthinkable, hyper-violent, and underway: blowing up more than a dozen airliners with stolen missile launchers. As the potential for disaster grows stronger by the second, the Superhawks are moving in to bring their own brand of chaos to the monster who invented the word.

SAS Bravo Three Zero

Autor: Damien Lewis , Des Powell

Número de Páginas: 338

'An incredible story, and so well told' Bear Grylls 'Honesty, integrity and real experience that puts you in the thick of the action.' Billy Billingham There were three patrols that fateful January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero and Bravo Three Zero. It was the opening hours of the Gulf War and the SAS were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam's Scud missiles, the use of which threatened a Third World War. The men of Bravo One Zero stepped off the chopper, took one look at the flat desert devoid of any cover and decided no way were they deploying into all of that. But Andy NcNab's famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did deploy, with fatal results - all bar one being captured or killed. And then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different. Thought differently. Acted differently. Treating as gospel the SAS's saying 'any fool can be uncomfortable', they deployed with vehicles, and while there was nowhere to hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that McNab's patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected - the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi lines. Slipping through enemy positions, a string of...

Les circulations dans l'Europe moderne

Autor: Daniel Roche

Número de Páginas: 997

La société d’Ancien Régime n’est pas cette société figée et immobile, bornée à l’horizon du village, que nous aimons à nous représenter. Au contraire, poussés par la nécessité ou par la curiosité, les voyageurs ne cessent d’être plus nombreux de l’âge classique au siècle des Lumières et le voyage de gagner des lettres de noblesse. Le débat sur l’utilité des voyages et l’essor des récits révèlent une vraie nécessité : un appel à penser autrement, par la lecture du grand livre du monde. L’ouverture et le décloisonnement mettent au jour, au-delà de la crainte ancestrale de tout ce qui vient d’ailleurs, une mobilité sans frontière, celle de la solidarité et non de l’errance, celle de l’échange valorisé, des transferts culturels profitables à tous. S’inventent alors des questions, des valeurs et des craintes, des conflits, qui sont encore les nôtres aujourd’hui. Paru en première édition chez Fayard en 2003 sous le titre Humeurs vagabondes.

From Christianity to Judaism

Autor: Yosef Kaplan

Número de Páginas: 560

Isaac Orobio de Castro, a crypto-Jew from Portugal, was one of the most prominent intellectual figures of the Sephardi Diaspora in the seventeenth century. After studying medicine and theology in Spain, and having pursued a distinguished medical career, he was arrested by the Spanish Inquisition for practising Judaism, tortured, tired, and imprisoned. He subsequently emigrated to France and became a professor of medicine at the University of Toulouse before openly professing his Judaism and going to Amsterdam where he joined the thriving Portuguese Jewish community. Amsterdam was then a city of great cultural creativity and religious pluralism where Orobio found open to him the world of religious thinkers and learned scholars. In this atmosphere he flourished and became an outstanding spokesman and apologist for the Jewish community. He engaged in controversy with Juan de Prado and Baruch Spinoza, who were both excommunicated by the Portuguese Jewish community, as well as with Christian theologians of various sects and denominations, including Philip van Limborch. This fascinating biography of Orobio sheds light on the complex life of a unique Jewish community of former Christians ...

"Bravo Fortissimo Glen Gould" is an exceptionally written psychobiography of piano virtuoso Glenn Gould, the musical genius who was said to hold a magical power over his audience.
