"¡TOMA, POR MIENTA-MADRES!" es fresca, divertida hasta desternillar de risa, conmovedora hasta un nudo en la garganta o una lágrima; para leerse de un jalón. Cautiva de principio a fin. Aborda las travesuras, observaciones y vivencias de una niña en su tránsito familiar a la pre-adolescencia; tránsito también de la comodidad a la pobreza extrema de una adorable familia a mediados del siglo pasado en la Ciudad de México. Personajes: La Mana, ingenua-pícara, bobalicona-aguda, valiente-miedosa, ...; Marcos, hermano desbordante de genialidades; Virginia, dulce benjamina, creyente seguidora de los mayores; Beatriz media hermana sonámbula, catequista, curandera; paterfamilia fantasioso, y madre todóloga en quehaceres y economía doméstica.

Nos dice algo de lo que todos gozamos o sufrimos de niños provocando añoranza, nostalgia y un enorme disfrute. ¡Léelo! Algo encontrarás de tí.

Chinese Archery is a broad view of traditional archery in China as seen through the eyes of historians, philosophers, poets, artists, novelists and strategists from 1500 BC until the present century. The book is written around parallel text translations of classical chinese sources some famous and some little known in which Chinese writers give vivid and detailed explanations of the techniques of bow-building, archery and crossbow technique over the centuries. The author is both a sinologist and practising archer; his translations make the original Chinese texts accessible to the non-specialist. Written for readers who may never have picked up a book about China, but still containing a wealth of detail for Chinese scholars, the book brings the fascinating history of Chinese archery back to life through the voices of its most renowned practitioners.
