"He is America's most famous general. He represents toughness, focus, determination, and the ideal of achievement in the face of…
overwhelming odds. He was the most feared and respected adversary to his enemies and an object of envy, admiration, and sometimes, scorn to his professional peers. An early proponent of tank warfare, George S. Patton moved from being a foresighted lieutenant in the First World War to commanding the Third Army in the next, leading armored divisions in the Allied offensive that broke the back of Nazi Germany. Patton was an enigmatic figure. His image among his troops and much of the press achieved legendary status through his bold and colorful comments and combat leadership, yet these same qualities nearly jeopardized his career and forced him out of the battle on several occasions. Victory was impossible without Patton, and returning to the field, his army was responsible for one of the most crushing advances in the history of warfare. In Ladislas Farago's masterpiece, Ordeal and Triumph , the complete story of this fascinating personality is revealed. Born into an aristocratic California family, Patton rose in military rank quickly and was tapped to lead the Allied landings in North Africa in 1942. Under Patton's direction, American troops cut their teeth against Rommel's Afrikakorps, advanced further and more quickly than British General Montgomery's army in the conquest of Sicily, and ultimately continued their exploits by punching into Germany and checking the Russian westward advance at the end of World War II. A sweeping, absorbing biography and critically hailed, Ordeal and Triumph provides unique insights into Patton's life and leadership style and is military history at its finest."-- From Goodreads

Pedro y Elizabeth no se conocian y nada indicaba que hubiera entre ellos la menor afinidad, salvo que ambos eran…
jovenes y que la infelicidad que nublaba su vida -cargada de ansiedad, depresiones y fracasos sentimentales- los habia llevado a ponerse en manos del mismo psiquiatra. Esta circunstancia en apariencia casual no tardo en revelarse como una estratagema del destino. El doctor Weiss, ya para entonces con la mente abierta a realidades que la mayoria de los terapeutas eludia o negaba de plano, supo intuir que Pedro y Elizabeth estaban ligados indisolublemente. Fueron necesarias muchas sesiones de terapia -siempre bajo hipnosis- y el entusiasmo de un medico capaz de transgredir el terco materialismo de la ciencia al uso, para que ambos recuperaran la memoria de anteriores reencarnaciones y descubrieran los lazos que los unian mas alla del tiempo. Brian Weiss, el hombre que facilito el reencuentro de dos almas gemelas destinadas a amarse para siempre, es el autor!

"Eight-Legged Wonders unveils the remarkable lives of one of the most misunderstood and maligned creatures on the planet: the spider.…
With over 50,000 species, spiders play vital roles in our ecosystems and the vast majority are harmless to humans. With this in mind, shouldn't we at least try to set aside our creepy-crawly associations, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for these truly wonderful beings? Eight-Legged Wonders helps us do just that. In this affectionate and surprisingly giddy ode to spiders, James O'Hanlon, a scientist and spider expert, introduces spiders that we may never have noticed before, including spiders that cosplay as ants, balloon through the air, and scuba-dive. He describes the peacock spider's colorful dances and the Portia jumping spider's cunning hunting techniques. He dispels bite concerns, highlights groundbreaking research using spiders for human benefit, and aims to shift perceptions, ultimately revealing spiders as truly remarkable beings worthy of our admiration."-- Provided by publisher
