In 1975, Jose Antonio Abreu, a Venezuelan economist, musician, and reformer, founded El Sistema, a revolutionary music education and social action project that has changed the lives of thousands of his country's most vulnerable youth. Its social and artistic achievements are spellbinding. In 2009, Maestro Abreu was awarded the TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) Prize and was granted a wish: to identify "gifted young musicians, passionate about their art and social justice," who would take his vision to the world. Aesthetics of Generosity chronicles a Sistema Fellow's own journey into the heart of El Sistema as he uncovers how music can change lives for the better. Includes 16 black-and-white photographs.
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
How does a human being degenerate into someone willingly perpetrating acts of exceptional violence upon others? How does Jesus Christ reach past the rejections and damage of this world to claim, transform, and repurpose such a human life? A life not only swept into the dustbin of incarceration, but one who did everything they could to get themself there? Rather than attempting to answer these questions from a scriptural or theological basis, I present to you the life story of Pastor Jose Luis Hernandez Roman, entitled 'From Psycho to Christ'.

This book was designed to get readers and people to understand that economy can and will be fixed with Gods guidance. We must understand that without acknowledging where the economy breaks down, we cannot fix something without understanding how it broke down and who broke it down. But with God in the economy, it was proven in the Bible in the past that the economy that was broken was restored quickly by God because simply we gave him glory and we thanked him.
