Monarca
“A work of art. In each of the pages, you will feel the flow of a powerful energy which will murmur to each of your cells that it is time to come out of hiding, to open the windows, to breathe freely, to dress colorfully… to fly.” — Laura Esquivel, author of Like Water for Chocolate "In Monarca, Eva Aridjis and Leopoldo Gout sweep the reader away on a meaningful and magical journey of discovery and wonder. An epic story of personal transformation, bravery and learning to appreciate the fragile world around us. Monarca is a fable destined to be an instant classic and will resonate with readers of all ages. A dazzling must read." — Tonya Hurley - New York Times bestselling author of the ghostgirl series “A magical tale about a magical being. Monarca creates an embodied kinship between humans and animals, showing us when culture and nature bow to one another, empathy can redress despair into devotion. This is a story of hope with wings.” — Terry Tempest Williams, author of Erosion “A lovely book.” — Marlon James, Man Booker Prize winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings
Mexico
The concentration of power in the caudillo (leader) is as much a formative element of Mexican culture and politics as the historical legacy of the Aztec emperors, Cortez, the Spanish Crown, the Mother Church and the mixing of the Spanish and Indian population into a mestizo culture. Krauze shows how history becomes biography during the century of caudillos from the insurgent priests in 1810 to Porfirio and the Revolution in 1910. The Revolutionary era, ending in 1940, was dominated by the lives of seven presidents -- Madero, Zapata, Villa, Carranza, Obregon, Calles and Cardenas. Since 1940, the dominant power of the presidency has continued through years of boom and bust and crisis. A major question for the modern state, with today's president Zedillo, is whether that power can be decentralized, to end the cycles of history as biographies of power.

The Dark Virgin

Are these creatures the envoys of the man-god Quetzalcóatl?

The Power Path
According to José Stevens and Lena Stevens, business leaders and shamans share many important traits: the abilities to solve problems, to achieve goals, to see the big picture, and to forecast events. What their previous book, Secrets of Shamanism, did for the growth of the individual, The Power Path does for the growth of business managers and entrepreneurs. On the basis of years of study with shamans, the authors share a new way of thinking about the nature of power. By applying shamanic traditions of power to the workplace, readers learn how to improve work relationships, to understand employees' strengths and limitations, and to inspire effective teamwork — techniques aimed ultimately toward increasing business success.
