Rafa
by John Carlin Rafael NadalWhat makes a champion? What does it take to be the best in the world at your sport? Rafael Nadal, one of the greatest players in the history of tennis, has the answers. In his memoir, written with award-winning journalist John Carlin, he reveals the secrets of his game and shares the inspiring personal story behind his success. It begins in Mallorca, a small island on the Mediterranean Sea, where the tight-knit Nadal family has lived for generations. Coached by his uncle Toni from the age of four, taught humility and respect by his parents, cherished by his exceptionally close extended family, Nadal has managed the uncommon feat of becoming an acclaimed global celebrity while remaining an unfailingly gracious, relentlessly hardworking role model for people in all walks of life. Since he embarked on his tennis career ten years ago, the twenty-five-year-old Nadal has had a meteoric rise, becoming the youngest professional tennis player ever to win all four Grand Slam titles. He collected his first one, the French Open, in 2005 at age nineteen, and from there went on to win Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and, most difficult of all, the U. S. Open in 2010. His memoir takes us behind the scenes, sharing the highs and lows of his career, from winning the Wimbledon 2008 final, described by John McEnroe as ¿the greatest game of tennis, he had ever seen, to the family problems that brought him low in 2009 and the numerous injuries that have threatened his career. With candor, heart, and intelligence, Rafael Nadal takes readers on his life¿s dramatic and triumphant journey, never losing sight along the way of the prize he values above all others: the unity and love of his family.

Rafael Núñez
by Indalecio Liévano AguirreLa biografía más completa de uno de los presidentes más importantes delsiglo XIX y que habría de cambiar para siempre la historia de Colombia. La biografía de Rafael Núñez de Indalecio Liévano Aguirre #no se limitaa los documentos oficiales y a los hechos públicos que van marcando laevolución del estadista (#) sino que se detiene, con la más inteligenteperspicacia, en las características psicológicas del hombre (#) en suspasiones, en los vendavales de su vida privada, en la manera como ibadesarrollándose un alma tormentosa que se orientaba tanto por la ideaspolíticas como por los sentimientos íntimos. (El libro) es unainvitación a jugar juzgar los hechos del siglo XIX con un severocriterio de análisis y no con la superficial pasión retórica de tipopolítico. Es una interpretación inteligente y singularmente atractiva deuna de las personalidades más vigorosas de la historia de América, quedebe estar más allá de la diatriba y del elogio interesado.

Rafael Núñez: La biografía definitiva de uno de los presidentes más importantes de colombia
by Indalecio Liévano AguirreLa biografía más completa del presidente Rafael Núñez "Muchas veces se ha querido juzgar al poeta con criterio meramente retórico, cuando la verdad es que en Núñez el poeta, el hombre privado y el hombre público están indisolublemente ligados .Así lo comprendió Liévano Aguirre y ese, para mí, es el mejor acierto literario y psicológico de su obra. Con certero instinto vio dónde estaba la mejor clave de interpretación de la personalidad del doctor Núñez y nos presenta en su biografía una figura profundamente humana, alimentada siempre por fuertes e implacables pasiones, por un cálido sentido de la vida, por rencores, venganzas, ambiciones y sensualidades que ejercían influjo decisivo sobre lo que pudiera considerarse como mera orientación política. La fría enumeración de las actividades públicas de Núñez y de la manera como ellas modificaron la vida colombiana no podría jamás explicarnos por sí sola la personalidad del padre de la Regeneración. Se equivocan, a mi modo de ver, quienes quisieran ver en él tan solo a un doctrinario, a un pensador político, a un organizador de las instituciones. Podría ser todo eso pero era además una pasión en marcha, una pasión humana, influida decisivamente por todas las cosas grandes y pequeñas que afectan la vida de los hombres". Eduardo Santos

Rag and Bone: A Family History of What We've Thrown Away
by Lisa WoollettFrom relics of Georgian empire-building and slave-trading, through Victorian London's barged-out refuse to 1980s fly-tipping and the pervasiveness of present-day plastics, Rag and Bone traces the story of our rubbish, and, through it, our history of consumption.In a series of beachcombing and mudlarking walks - beginning in the Thames in central London, then out to the Kentish estuary and eventually the sea around Cornwall - Lisa Woollett also tells the story of her family, a number of whom made their living from London's waste, and who made a similar journey downriver from the centre of the city to the sea.A beautifully written but urgent mixture of social history, family memoir and nature writing, Rag and Bone is a book about what we can learn from what we've thrown away - and a call to think more about what we leave behind.(p) 2020 Hodder & Stoughton Ltd

Rage: Fear, Rage, And Peril
by Bob WoodwardRage is an unprecedented and intimate tour de force of new reporting on the Trump presidency facing a global pandemic, economic disaster and racial unrest.Woodward, the #1 international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump&’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans. In 17 on-the-record interviews with Woodward over seven volatile months—an utterly vivid window into Trump&’s mind—the president provides a self-portrait that is part denial and part combative interchange mixed with surprising moments of doubt as he glimpses the perils in the presidency and what he calls the &“dynamite behind every door.&” At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump&’s responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president. Revisiting the earliest days of the Trump presidency, Rage reveals how Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats struggled to keep the country safe as the president dismantled any semblance of collegial national security decision making. Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses as well as participants&’ notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents. Woodward obtained 25 never-seen personal letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a &“fantasy film.&” Trump insists to Woodward he will triumph over Covid-19 and the economic calamity. &“Don&’t worry about it, Bob. Okay?&” Trump told the author in July. &“Don&’t worry about it. We&’ll get to do another book. You&’ll find I was right.&”
Rage: On Being Queer, Black, Brilliant . . . and Completely Over It
by Lester Fabian BrathwaiteA debut book from Entertainment Weekly writer and former Out magazine editor Lester Fabian Brathwaite, Rage is a darkly comedic exploration of Blackness, queerness, and the American Dream, at a time when creative anger feels like the best response to inequality.One romantic hopeful had greeted Lester Fabian Brathwaite on a dating app with this gem: &“You into race play?&” Being young, queer, gifted, and Black, Lester has found that his best tool for navigating American life is gallows humor. If you don&’t laugh, you cry—or, you summon your inner rage. With biting wit, Lester&’s book Rage interrogates all the ways that systemic racism and homophobia have shaped our society. All to pose that proverbial question: Can a gurl live?Rage is one part memoir, one part cultural critique, one part live grenade. He contrasts his tragic-comedic love life with the ideals he had formed from bingeing (straight, white) Hollywood depictions. And he is quick to side-eye the misogyny and internalized homophobia that some people reveal in statements like &“masc for masc&” on dating profiles. Lester also dives deep into representations of queer life from RuPaul&’s Drag Race to The Birdcage (Robin Williams was a snack in Versace), and explores our cultural understanding of Black genius through stories of James Baldwin, Whitney Houston, and Nina Simone.Lester&’s razor-sharp voice, coupled with his searing social commentary on topics such as dating, rejection, racism, sexuality, identity, and more, offer an increasingly divided world an engaging and original read.

Raglan: From the Peninsula to the Crimea
by John SweetmanAll too many historians have dismissed FitzRoy James Henry Somerset, first Baron Raglan, as at best, an indifferent and, at worst, an incompetent on the basis of his association with the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade.Yet as this long overdue biography of a pivotal military figure of the 19th Century reveals Raglans achievements over fifty years should not be judged on so narrow a basis. True, as Commander of the Expeditionary Force to the Crimea, he must take his share of responsibility for the hardship suffered by the men under him particularly during the winter of 1854-55 but the fact remains that Raglan never lost a battle for which he was fully responsible.Commissioned in 1804 he served under Sir Arthur Paget and the Duke of Wellington, throughout the Peninsular War losing an arm at Waterloo. He held key posts, including Military Secretary for an astonishing 25 years and Master General of the Ordnance and his influence was far reaching.Raglan is revealed in this objective study as a brave, thoughtful, caring and capable man, who found himself an easy target for critics of an outdated and inadequate military administrative system. Very personal attacks, some from official quarters, mortally wounded him and he died in June 1855, a mere seven months after being appointed a field marshal amid public acclaim.In this first full biography of Raglan, John Sweetman examines not just the man himself but the workings of an Army that was straggling to keep up with social and technological change. Readers will find this a fine expos of a man who was placed in a no-win situation through little fault of his own.John Sweetman graduated from Brasenose College Oxford (Modern History) before taking a PhD at Kings College, London. He later became Head of Defence and International Affairs at RMA Sandhurst. He is the author of numerous military works. Now retired he lives at Camberley.
Ragtime in the White House: War, Race, and the Presidency in the Time of William McKinley
by Eliot VestnerHistory played a trick on McKinley. He has been consigned to the shadows between Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, vilified or ignored by historians . . . It is a richly undeserved fate.As Eliot Vestner demonstrates in this narrative of the political life of William McKinley, there was much more to the twenty-fifth president&’s tenure in office than history books allow. He was a popular president, winning a second term with ease. But only nine months into it, he was assassinated by a self-described anarchist. What more he might have accomplished is anyone&’s guess. He had managed to successfully pull America out of one of the worst economic depressions yet experienced, the Panic of 1893. And his controversial tariffs strengthened industry and contributed to the overall wealth of the country, as did his return of the country to the gold standard. He also led the U.S. to victory in the Spanish-American war, and implemented the first steps toward building the Panama Canal, which his successor, Theodore Roosevelt, continued. Perhaps the most under-appreciated aspect of McKinley&’s presidency was his advocacy for black civil rights, and his challenge to the white supremacy of the south. As governor of Ohio, he fought against lynching. He signed a ground-breaking anti-lynching bill. Ironically, as president, he had a much more difficult time combating violence and racial injustice because of the use of states&’ rights as justification for voter suppression and terrorism towards blacks. He pursued opportunities to advance the interests of black Americans wherever he could, but his inability to stop the lynchings and disfranchisement of blacks was most regrettable. His successors had no interest in the race issue, which remained unresolved until the 1954 court decision in Brown v. The Board of Education. This book gives McKinley his due, and thereby helps us better understand a President of the United States whose work has seemingly been overlooked by most Americans today.

Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewish Woman

Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewish Woman
by Hannah ArendtA biography of a Jewish woman, a writer who hosted a literary and political salon in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Germany, written by one of the twentieth century's most prominent intellectuals, Hannah Arendt.Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewish Woman was Hannah Arendt&’s first book, largely completed when she went into exile from Germany in 1933, though not published until the 1950s. It is the biography of a remarkable, complicated, passionate woman, and an important figure in German romanticism. Rahel Varnhagen also bore the burdens of being an unusual woman in a man&’s world and an assimilated Jew in Germany.She was, Arendt writes, &“neither beautiful nor attractive . . . and possessed no talents with which to employ her extraordinary intelligence and passionate originality.&” Arendt sets out to tell the story of Rahel&’s life as Rahel might have told it and, in doing so, to reveal the way in which assimilation defined one person&’s destiny. On her deathbed Rahel is reported to have said, &“The thing which all my life seemed to me the greatest shame, which was the misery and misfortune of my life—having been born a Jewess—this I should on no account now wish to have missed.&” Only because she had remained both a Jew and a pariah, Arendt observes, &“did she find a place in the history of European humanity.&”
