The Future of Alzheimer's
A collection of informative and inspirational thoughts of many of the nation’s leaders in research, medicine, education, senior care and advocacy around the subject of Alzheimer’s disease. The Future of Alzheimer's features candid views from experts on how they respond today to someone on the difficult journey of Alzheimer’s and what they believe is the future hope for a cure. More than 20 experts in the field of Alzheimer's research or caretakers are asked two key questions: What advice would you give to the loved ones of someone who is newly diagnosed? Do you think there will be a cure, and if so, when? Their answers help provide context and hope for patients, caretakers and loved ones looking for answers by providing helpful insights on the disease and what's to come. Alzheimer's prevalence in the US makes it the 6th leading cause of death, killing more than half a million people, mainly seniors, every year and experts believe this number will only grow. The Future of Alzheimer's seeks to make this and other forms of dementia less of the devastating diagnosis it is now for all of those people.

Iturbide. El otro padre de la patria
Agustín de Iturbide, Dragón de Hierro, consumador de la Independencia y efímero emperador del Imperio Mexicano, es el protagonista de una época convulsa que marcó el final de trescientos años de dominación española y el inicio de un nuevo país. Esta apasionante novela retrata la vida del militar que triunfó en el campo de batalla, que negoció con Juan de O'Donojú y logró ser el primer gobernante del México independiente. Viajando desde los salones de la alta sociedad virreinal hasta los campos de batalla empapados de sangre, el lector será testigo de las intrigas, las traiciones y los heroísmos que tejieron el destino de una nación. En esta nueva versión de Iturbide, el autor Pedro J. Fernández incluye escenas y diálogos extendidos y un epílogo del manuscrito original que se encontraba perdido. He aquí la edición definitiva de una novela que atestigua el surgimiento de la nación mexicana a través de los ojos de un personaje controversial, pero sin duda extraordinario y fundamental para la historia. "La nación mexicana que por trescientos años ni ha tenido voluntad propia, ni libre el uso de la voz, sale hoy de la opresión en que ha vivido."
