Saxum
Saxum—the Latin word means rock—is the nickname that St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei, bestowed on Alvaro del Portillo. Don Alvaro, as he came to be known, was for many years the founder’s closest associate as well as his successor and first Prelate of Opus Dei after it became a personal prelature—a foundational rock for this dynamic international Catholic group devoted to promoting sanctity in ordinary life. Written in anticipation of Bishop del Portillo’s September 2014 beatification—his official recognition by the Church as “blessed” and a stage on the way to his possible canonization as a saint—the book is a fact-filled biography set against the background o...
El poder en la empresa
En las empresas de negocios el poder más pleno, el poder que resulta más decisivo para el futuro de la organización y, por tanto, para el futuro de las personas que la forman, se ejerce en su proceso de gobierno y dirección. En El poder en la empresa, el profesor Gallo pretende ayudar a comprender mejor la concepción y el ejercicio del poder en la empresa, en sus órganos de gobierno y dirección, y por los hombres y mujeres que en ella trabajan; asimismo, tiene el deseo de contribuir a la mejora de unos y otros en su ejercicio. El profesor Gallo plantea diversas cuestiones esenciales del ejercicio del poder en la empresa: • La exigencia de una finalidad adecuada para un correcto ejercicio del poder. • La escasez del poder más pleno en la empresa. • La incidencia de las preferencias personales en el ejercicio del poder. • Los límites voluntarios del poder y la relevancia de la colegialidad en el gobierno de la empresa. • La necesidad de la educación para el ejercicio del poder.
Historia de Ediciones Rialp
"El objetivo de este libro es hacer la historia de una editorial nacida en los años cuarenta del siglo XX, y que permanece hasta nuestros días -son pocos los casos- como sello independiente. Es además indudable el impacto que causó con sus primeras colecciones en la vida cultural y política de España. A eso se añade que sus directivos fueron en muchos casos personas del Opus Dei, y que la idea partía del fundador de esta institución, deseoso de brindar a los lectores buenos libros, en el fondo y en la forma, que guardaran una coherencia con el pensamiento cristiano desde los más variados ámbitos de la cultura. No se trataba, por tanto, de publicar solo libros de espiritualidad, si...
Opus
A thrilling exposé recounting how members of Opus Dei—a secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect—pushed its radical agenda within the Church and around the globe, using billions of dollars siphoned from one of the world’s largest banks. For over half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the world—until one day, in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetr...

Spanish Comics
Spanish comics represent an exciting and diverse field, yet one that is often overlooked outside of Spain. Spanish Comics offers an overview on contemporary scholarship on Spanish comics, focusing on a wide range of comics dating from the Francoist dictatorship, 1939-1975; the Political Transition, 1970-1985; and Democratic Spain since the early 1980s including the emergence of the graphic novel in 2000. Touching on themes of memory, gender, regional identities, and history, the chapters in this collection demonstrate the historical and cultural significance of Spanish comics.
DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL
The great wartime leader, Winston Churchill, once remarked, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Democracy on Trial recounts the history of this progressive form of governance while comparing it to a competing form: absolutism. Today we see the results of this conflict: flourishing civilization on one hand and crushing despotism on the other. Dr. Lasso, from his own bitter experiences with the despotism of Panama’s dictator, shows us how today’s democracy was won and how it must be vigilantly earned. Dr. Lloyd Muller Historian
Rulers and Realms in Medieval Iberia, 711-1492
The Muslim conquest of Iberia in 711 began nearly eight centuries of struggle for control of the peninsula. The invaders quickly achieved military supremacy, but political dominance was less complete. Within a few years, a small band of Christian rebels defied Muslim authority, establishing their own ruling class in the northern mountains of Asturias. The opposing forces competed for control until the Catholic Monarchs Fernando and Isabel established absolute rule in 1492. Drawing on the latest scholarship, this comprehensive study traces the succession of Iberian sovereigns during a complicated period in early European history.
