Описание: El lanzador de relevo mas exitoso de todos los tiempos comparte su extraordinaria historia de supervivencia, amor y beisbol. Mariano Rivera, el hombre que intimido a miles de bateadores con tan solo abrir la puerta del "bullpen," comenzo su increible viaje como el hijo de un pobre pescador panameno. Cuando primeramente los Yankees lo reclutaron, ni siquiera poseia su propio guante. El penso que podria ser un buen mecanico. Cuando lo descubrieron, nunca antes habia volado en un avion, nunca habia oido hablar de Babe Ruth, no hablaba ingles, ni tampoco se imaginaba como era Tampa, la ciudad hacia donde iba para comenzar una carrera que lo convertiria en uno de los mas iconicos del beisbol. Lo que si sabia: que amaba a su familia y su entonces novia, Clara; que podia confiar en el Senor para guiarlo; y que podia lanzar una pelota exactamente donde el queria, todo el tiempo. Con sorprendente candor, Rivera relata la historia de los campeonatos, los jefes (incluyendo El Jefe), las rivalidades y las luchas de ser pelotero latino en los Estados Unidos, y como conservar los valores cristianos dentro del atletismo profesional. El trece veces pelatoro del Juego de Estrellas habla de su impulso de ganar; los secretos detras de su legendaria compostura; la historia de como descubrio su recta cortada; lo nunca antes contado sobre el lanzamiento de la novena entrada del septimo juego de la Serie Mundial de 2001; y por que el momento mas bajo de su carrera se convirtio en una de sus mas grandes bendiciones. Cuando Rivera se retiro, todo el mundo lo vio y aplaudio. En "El cerrador," " llegamos a una aun mayor apreciacion de una leyenda construida desde cero. "
Описание: No One Left Behind: How Nurse Practitioners Are Changing The Canadian Health Care System, is a collection of stories from NPs across Canada, sharing their most memorable experiences with patients, which clearly illustrate the critical role they play throughout the health care system.
Each story is compelling and unique in its own way; true-life accounts which will take you on an emotional journey, however, one that defines a genuine passion that exists for their work.
The role of an NP has evolved significantly over the years, and is in different stages of progress throughout the country. While there are still legislative and regulatory barriers which prevent Nurse Practitioners from performing their work to the full scope of their practice, their focus on patient care remains the very foundation of their profession. This book shares a variety of stories from NPs across all sectors of the health care system to provide detailed accounts of what they do. In their line of work, they are often reminded of our shared vulnerability as a society, and how that susceptibility connects us. NPs work with patients in all settings in their quest to achieve health-whatever that may mean to the patient.
No One Left Behind is a moving tribute to NPs who have devoted their lives to caring for others, revisiting some of the most poignant experiences of their careers....
Many Filipino Americans feel obligated to give charitably to their families, their communities, or social development projects and organizations back home. Their contributions provide relief to poor or vulnerable Filipinos, and address the forces that maintain poverty, vulnerability, and exploitative relationships in the Philippines. This philanthropy is a result of both economic globalization and the migration of Filipino professionals to the United States. But it is also central to the moral economies of Filipino migration, immigration, and diasporic return. Giving-related practices and concerns—and the bonds maintained through giving—infuse what it means to be Filipino in America.
Giving Back shows how integral this system is for understanding Filipino diaspora formation. Joyce Mariano “follows the money” to investigate the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions of diaspora giving. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how power operates through this charity and the ways the global economic and cultural dimensions of this practice reinforce racial subordination and neocolonialism. Giving Back explores how this charity can stabilize overlapping systems of inequality as well as the contradictions of corporate social responsibility programs in diaspora.
Описание: This book can be used as a manual for emotional intelligence. It is written in simple language, making it appropriate even for non-native speakers of the English language.

As one of the hottest new prospects in New York City's ultra-competitive art scene, Benjamin Young's star is on the rise. Just when his future couldn't appear brighter, Ben discovers that he is soon to become a father, irrevocably altering the trajectory of his life. As he takes on the responsibilities of a single parent, and the drudgery of a dead-end job, he also tries to open his heart to true love. Along the way he tries to overcome an abusive childhood, and struggles to be the kind of father he never had. But when his troubled, violent past comes back to haunt him, he must decide if everyone-no matter how hurtful-deserves a second chance.

Описание: Eating Shakespeare provides a constructive critical analysis of the issue of Shakespeare and globalization and revisits understandings of interculturalism, otherness, hybridity and cultural (in)authenticity. Featuring scholarly essays as well as interviews and conversation pieces with creatives - including Geraldo Carneiro, Fernando Yamamoto, Diana Henderson, Mark Thornton Burnett, Samir Bhamra, Tajpal Rathore, Samran Rathore and Paul Heritage - it offers a timely and fruitful discourse between global Shakespearean theory and practice.
The volume uniquely establishes and implements a conceptual model inspired by non-European thought, thereby confronting a central concern in the field of Global Shakespeare: the issue of Europe operating as a geographical and cultural 'centre' that still dominates the study of Shakespearean translations and adaptations from a 'periphery' of world-wide localities. With its origins in 20th-century Brazilian modernism, the concept of 'Cultural Anthropophagy' is advanced by the authors as an original methodology within the field currently understood as 'Global Shakespeare'. Through a broad range of examples drawn from theatre, film and education, and from both within Brazil and beyond, the volume offers illuminating perspectives on what Global Shakespeare may mean today.
