Andrea and Sylvester
In 1941 a young couple met and fell in love; but one of them was considered Black while the other was considered White. Laws against intermarriage between races had been upheld by every court in the United States since Reconstruction, after the Civil War. Andrea and Sylvester - a Mexican-American woman and an African-American man - challenged these laws and won, and their success inspired changes that ended that taboo. When same-sex marriage became a pressing issue, their case was the precedent that first persuaded the courts to allow it. Thus Andrea and Sylvester can be credited with successfully challenging a second marriage taboo. Dodge sets the scene for their personal drama and traces h...
Vantablack
La lettura delle poesie di Andrea Perez trasmette sin dai primissimi versi un senso di sofferenza e inquietudine esistenziale che ci trascina dentro un universo emozionale fatto di contrasti e sfumature. L’autrice si mette a nudo condividendo il suo stato d’animo, la sua intimità, i suoi sentimenti più privati e nascosti. In un percorso di ricerca del sé, che prima si rivolge all’io e poi all’altro, Andrea Perez ci apre la porta del suo cuore mostrandoci, con coraggio, le sue fragilità, le sue ansie, le sue angosce, le sue speranze. Nello stesso tempo, queste poesie danno sostanza al bisogno interiore di gridare al mondo questa sofferenza, soprattutto perché questo esercizio è ...
Salud y Amor
Andrea Hirsch is high on life -- working as a lawyer in Silicon Valley, loving Christopher, a lawyer in her field -- until her car accident, an accident that changes what she wants out of life. Andrea recuperates with the love and support of three men: her boyfriend Christopher; Evan, the husband from whom she is separated; and her father Josh, a widower. As she recovers, she faces difficult questions -- how her accident really happened, whether or not to move to New York with Christopher, how to re-create herself and her career in California. Her accident teaches her that nurturance -- allowing herself to be nurtured and nurturing others -- is a higher value than professional success. It is not an easy lesson. It means re-working her relationship with her father, her job, and her former partner, Evan. It means finding the place in her life for a young Guatemalan boy and coming to terms with the issuing of parenting. Ultimately, she must re-open herself to love. Most of all, Andrea needs to discover a new way of being. She needs to live her Spanish wedding toast -- salud y amor y tiempo para gustarlos. Health, love and time to enjoy them.

The Endurance of Family Businesses
The Endurance of Family Businesses is a collection of essays offering an overview of the importance and resilience of family-controlled large businesses. Much of economic and business history research neglects family businesses, considering them an inefficient form of business organization. These essays discuss the strengths of family businesses: the ways family firms have managed, financed and governed their corporations, as well as the way in which they structure their relationship with the external environment, from the government to the company's stakeholders. Family businesses have learned new ways of organizing their resources and using their accumulated know-how for new markets and institutional environments. This volume combines the expertise of well-known scholars who specialize in business history, economic history, management and consulting, to provide an interdisciplinary perspective on family businesses. Contributors provide a global view by taking into account Asian, American and European experiences.
