Описание:
In 1519, the Conquistador Hern n Cort s landed on the mainland of the Americas. His quest to serve God, win gold, and achieve glory drove him into the heartland of what is now Mexico, where no European had ever set foot before. He marched towards to the majestic city of Tenochtitlan, floating like a jewel in the midst of Lake Texcoco.
This encounter brought together cultures that had hitherto evolved in complete isolation from each other--Catholic Spain and the Aztec Empire. What ensued was the swift escalation from a clash of civilizations to a war of the worlds. At the conclusion of the Conquistador campaign of 1519-21, Tenochtitlan lay in ruins, the last Aztec Emperor was in chains, and Spanish authority over the native peoples had been definitively asserted.
With colorful personalities--Cort s, Malinche, Pedro Alvarez, Cuitl huac, Cuauht moc--driving the narrative, and the vivid differences in uniforms, weapons, and fighting styles between the rival armies (displayed using stunning specially commissioned artwork, this is the fascinating story of the collapse of the Aztec Empire.)
Long Distance Caregiving can be challenging--and one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
No one is ever fully prepared to help a family member through a difficult illness, and aging issues, let alone prepare their loved ones for death. In today's world many are called upon to help from afar--children, nieces or nephews, siblings and even friends. There are many "how to" books out there on caregiving but few share their story--the raw emotions, the exhaustion--but that show how, in the end, the caregiver gains wonderful gifts and a deepened love and understanding for those they help.
In her first book for adults, Caroline H. Sheppard shares her story of how she was called to oversee the care for five family members over a fifteen year period (from 1999 to 2014). Due to the physical distance between those in need and herself, she learned the ups and downs and ins and outs of long distance care and how challenging and rewarding it can be.
"Finally A beautifully written caregiver's memoir, filled with insight, heart and tons of practical information. Caroline shows us what a tough balancing act--both emotional and physical--we've either chosen or been called on to undertake. It's not just another how-to book. Caroline shows us by example--the how-to is a bonus takeaway delivered through a compelling story that's hard to put down."

"The journey she takes us on, the stories she tells us compels us to listen. We learn so much from her and need to thank her for bringing us into the world of caregiving with such detail and personal honesty. Her story will help us avoid the missteps, lessen the physical and emotional stress of caregiving and provide us with the support and resources that comes from her sharing the lessons she had to learn firsthand."
