This book tackles the importance of challenges in our lives and how to accomplish whatever you put forth, no matter how difficult it may be. Luis Conde, founder of Amrop Seeliger y Conde, recounts some of the challenges that he has taken on in his life and the lessons he has learned from them, all while revealing the secret to his success: the talent equation. The latest challenge was nothing less than conducting a symphonic orchestra without knowing basic musical theory. He chose to conduct Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, "The Resurrection," with the Vallès Symphony Orchestra in the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona. With a lot of dedication and passion, it's possible to successfully complete a challenge as complicated as this one. The author, in his role as conductor of the orchestra, created the necessary harmony between the orchestra and the audience until the point at which they ultimately became one. Just as Mahler was a martyr consumed in the flames of hard work, Luis Conde gave his all to make this challenge a reality. This determination encourages us to pursue our own dreams.
This Happened in My Presence reveals life in the small Spanish town of Deza during a period that was complex and tumultuous. The introduction explains the medieval origins of Deza's Christian, Muslim, and Jewish populations and the changing policies toward religious minorities under the Catholic Monarchs and the Hapsburgs. The workings of the Spanish Inquisition and of Deza's local religious and political institutions are clearly described. Helpful pedagogical materials enhance the primary sources: a timeline interweaving local, national, and international events; a cast of characters; four modern images of Deza; maps; a glossary; discussion questions; and a bibliography. Each set of documents is accompanied by a brief introduction and focus questions.

Vitiligo has been, until recently, a rather neglected area in dermatology and medicine. Patients complain about this situation, which has offered avenues to quacks, and has led to the near orphan status of the disease. The apparently, simple and poorly symptomatic presentation of the disease has been a strong disadvantage to its study, as compared to other common chronic skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Vitiligo is still considered by doctors as a non disease, a simple aesthetic problem. A good skin-based angle of attack is also lacking because generalized vi- ligo is clearly epitomizing the view of skin diseases as simple targets of a systemic unknown dysregulation (d...
