Di Stéfano
'Better than Pele' - Diego Maradona 'One of the greatest footballers ever.' - Sir Alex Ferguson Pele, Best and Maradona everyone has heard of, but to the true football cognoscenti Alfredo Di Stefano, the magician behind Real Madrid’s five European Cups in a row, is the greatest of them all. Over 20 years, Di Stéfano was the guiding force behind three teams in three countries: at River Plate in his native Argentina; at Millonarios of Bogotá in Colombia; and then in 1953, after one of the most bitter transfer tug-of-wars in sporting history, Real Madrid. There he became football’s first global icon, nicknamed the striking ‘Blond Arrow’ for his powerful stamina, tactical versatility a...
Democracy and Counterterrorism
A comparative study of the policies, strategies, and instruments employed by various democratic governments in the fight against terrorism.
In This Place / En Este Lugar
In This Place ] En Este Lugar Though the work of Alfredo De Stfano is presented in a traditional photographic format, all conceptions of the image contained in that support distance themselves from or even subtly confront the traditional ways in which photography has addressed the complex universe of time, space and movement. His ..". work acquires a dual meaning: that of being a symbol of emptiness, of the void, of the dead and extinct, and that of being the landscape that is most susceptible to change in any number of ways paradoxically, because of its vastness and its emptiness. In this sense, the desert is the place that is subject to the rapidest and most drastic changes in its land, du...
Fear and Loathing in La Liga
‘A history of modern Spain told through one of world football's most intense rivalries’ Independent ‘Sports Book of the Year’ Sunday Times It’s Messi vs Ronaldo, it’s Catalonia vs Castilla. It’s the nation against the state, freedom fighters vs Franco’s fascists. It’s majestic goals and mesmerising skills, red cards and bench brawls. It’s the best two teams on the planet going face to face and toe to toe. It’s more than a game. It’s a war. It’s Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Only, it’s not that simple. From the wounds left by the civil war to the teams’ recent global domination, historian and expert on Spanish football, Sid Lowe lifts the lid on sport’s greatest ri...
Planet Football
Planet Football profiles twelve great players, moving from Alfredo Di Stefano and Pele, stars half a century ago, to the current global presence of David Beckham and Lionel Messi. Here are the sublime skills of Eusebio and Johan Cruyff, the determined spirit of Kevin Keegan, Bryan Robson, and Gary Lineker, plus the wayward genius of George Best, Diego Maradona, and Eric Cantona. Besides the contribution of these players to the development of the game, there are fascinating tales from off the pitch. Andrew Godsell is the acclaimed author of several books, including The World Cup and Europe United: A History of the European Cup / Champions League.
Di Stéfano
La historia completa de un grande del fútbol: Di Stéfano. Todo el mundo ha escuchado hablar de Pelé, Cruyff y Maradona, pero para los verdaderos conocedores del fútbol, Alfredo Di Stéfano, el mago detrás de las cinco Copas de Europa consecutivas del Real Madrid, es el más grande de todos ellos. Durante más de 20 años, Di Stéfano fue el motor que guío a tres distintos equipos en tres países diferentes: al River Plate en su Argentina natal, al Millonarios de Bogotá en Colombia; y después en 1953, después de una de las batallas más agridulces en la historia de los traspasos en el mundo del fútbol, al Real Madrid. Fue ahí en donde se convirtió en el primer gran icono mundial d...
The Paraguay Reader
Hemmed in by the vast, arid Chaco to the west and, for most of its history, impenetrable jungles to the east, Paraguay has been defined largely by its isolation. Partly as a result, there has been a dearth of serious scholarship or journalism about the country. Going a long way toward redressing this lack of information and analysis, The Paraguay Reader is a lively compilation of testimonies, journalism, scholarship, political tracts, literature, and illustrations, including maps, photographs, paintings, drawings, and advertisements. Taken together, the anthology's many selections convey the country's extraordinarily rich history and cultural heritage, as well as the realities of its struggl...
Fútbol 150 Años
En un siglo y medio de vida, el fútbol ha ayudado a contar la historia de las sociedades en transformación. Bajo la mirada de ese juego sencillo a la par que magnético, está el registro vivo de momentos apasionantes, trágicos, sublimes y dramáticos. Como un fiel retrato de los pueblos que lo han adoptado, el fútbol ha sido testigo tanto de barbaridades sociales cuanto de episodios de éxtasis colectivo, ha sufrido y ha provocado injusticias, repartido placer y fascinación con la misma desenvoltura con la que se ha generado grandes traumas y pequeñas lacras, pero, eso sí, ha estado siempre presente. No es en balde que esa forma original y hábil de competir en grupo realzando las in...
