A Fighting Chance
Seventeen-year-old Miguel Angel spends every minute after school at the Packing Shed, working out with the Alisal Boxing Club. He dreams of becoming a champion so he can get his mother and five siblings out of their cramped one-bedroom apartment in one of Salinas' poorest barrios. But suddenly his life gets more complicated. The city is threatening to take the Packing Shed away from Coach, and without a place to train he won't be able to avoid the gangbangers in his neighborhood. His childhood friend, Beto, has succumbed to the wiles of easy money and expensive cars, and Miguel Angel wonders if he'll be able to resist his friend. Meanwhile, beautiful blonde Britney from Pebble Beach has ente...
His Baby Bargain (Texas Legends: The McCabes, Book 4) (Mills & Boon True Love)
Friend. Baby wrangler. Family man?
A Short History of Communism
Today global communism seems just a terrible memory, an expressionist nightmare as horrific as Nazism and the Holocaust, or the slaughter in the First World War. Was it only just over a decade ago that stone-faced old men were still presiding over "workers" paradises in the name of "the people" while hundreds of millions endured grinding poverty under a system of mind-controlling servitude which did not hesitate to murder and imprison whole populations in the cause of "progress"? Or that the world seemed under threat from revolutionary hordes engulfing one country after another, backed by a vast military machine and the threat of nuclear annihilation? In the 1970s, with the fall of South Vie...
Una mirada laboralista a la pintura del Prado
Esta obra constituye una aproximación novedosa a los tesoros de nuestra primera pinacoteca. Destacados especialistas en derecho del trabajo (profesionales de la abogacía, docentes universitarios o miembros de la carrera judicial) llevan a cabo un análisis de setenta y cinco obras de los fondos del Prado, desde el cuatrocento italiano hasta la pintura social de finales del siglo XIX, poniendo de relieve los aspectos socio-laborales que habitualmente pasan desapercibidos en una primera aproximación a estas obras maestras. Para cada una de las obras, el comentario expone sus características técnicas, descripción del motivo, estudio del significado y alcance artístico del pintor y su obra y conexión de ésta con las pautas laborales y sociales de la época y con las vigentes en la actualidad. Muchas de las obras incorporadas pertenecen al llamado “Prado disperso”, es decir, en depósito en instituciones provinciales o autonómicas y de difícil acceso para el público. La originalidad de la propuesta es motivo de interés para laboralistas, amantes del arte y aficionados en general, y visualmente el libro permitirá un verdadero goce estético al lector.
Women, Art, and Society
"This expanded edition is brought up to date in the light of the most recent developments in contemporary art. A new chapter considers globalization in the visual arts and the complex issues it raises, focusing on the many major international exhibitions since 1990 that have become an important arena for women artists from around the world."--BOOK JACKET.
The Animal Days
A woman's story of movement as a both a lifestyle and a rite of passage, The Animal Days follows Julia's journey of love and rock-climbing across three continents. In this fast-paced novel, joy is linked to self-destruction, love is inseparable from death, freedom is twinned with unbearable solitude, and life is worth only as much as a given moment. The taste for risk and vertigo never stop: they feed each other as the abyss approaches. Julia, determined to never look back, lives perpetually on the brink, even if it means shedding her own skin in the process.
Preaching in the Spanish Golden Age
Sermons are a useful barometer of a society and can tell us about many more aspects than the strictly spiritual. In this survey of preaching during the reign of Philip III (1598-1621) the subject has been approached from several different but complementary directions - historical, sociological, bibliographical, literary, and theological - in an attempt to assess the importance of sermons as the crystallization of preoccupations current in a period as complex as the Spanish Golden Age.
