Abuela, Don't Forget Me
by Rex OgleA Finalist for the 2023 YALSA Excellence in Young Adult Nonfiction Award. Rex Ogle’s companion to Free Lunch and Punching Bag weaves humor, heartbreak, and hope into life-affirming poems that honor his grandmother’s legacy. In his award-winning memoir Free Lunch, Rex Ogle’s abuela features as a source of love and support. In this companion-in-verse, Rex captures and celebrates the powerful presence a woman he could always count on—to give him warm hugs and ear kisses, to teach him precious words in Spanish, to bring him to the library where he could take out as many books as he wanted, and to offer safety when darkness closed in. Throughout a coming of age marked by violence and dysfunction, Abuela’s red-brick house in Abilene, Texas, offered Rex the possibility of home, and Abuela herself the possibility for a better life. Abuela, Don’t Forget Me is a lyrical portrait of the transformative and towering woman who believed in Rex even when he didn’t yet know how to believe in himself.

Abundância: O caminho interior para a riqueza
by Deepak ChopraDescubra as chaves para uma vida de sucesso, realização, plenitude e abundância. «Para alcançar uma riqueza duradoura, aquela que confere sentido, valor e sustento à vida, a sua existência diária deverá assentar na generosidade do espírito. Tudo o que desejar para além disso surgirá de forma natural.» DEEPAK CHOPRA Muitos de nós vivem e agem a partir de uma mentalidade de carência, escassez e limitação. Concentramo-nos no que não temos - segurança financeira, confiança, um relacionamento íntimo -, o que faz com que nos sintamos inseguros e desajustados. Pensamos: «Se conseguisse ter essas coisas, poderia ser feliz.» Mas medir a riqueza em dinheiro ou bens materiais deixa-nos esgotados e espiritualmente vazios. Insistir em lutar por mais, significa, muitas vezes, que o nosso ego controla os nossos pensamentos, ações e reações, o que nos impede de alcançar algo maior: uma verdadeira sensação de paz interior, aceitação e realização. No entanto, existe um caminho interior para a prosperidade e a abundância, que, uma vez traçado e explorado, oferece acesso às grandes riquezas do Universo e às possibilidades ilimitadas da vida. Em Abundância, o autor bestseller internacional Deepak Chopra ilumina esse caminho para o sucesso e a plenitude, ajudando-nos a explorar um sentido mais profundo de consciência, de modo que nos tornemos agentes de mudança nas nossas próprias vidas. Misturando ensinamentos antigos e práticas espirituais com a sabedoria que acumulou ao longo de quatro décadas como a principal figura da medicina mente-corpo, Chopra demonstra como transcender sentimentos autogerados de limitação e medo, para experimentar a verdadeira abundância em todos os aspetos da vida. Oferece um plano de sete etapas, juntamente com meditações e técnicas de atenção plena, o que nos ajuda a focar e dirigir a nossa atenção, energia e intuição, para podermos experimentar estabilidade, riqueza, conhecimento, criatividade, amor e verdadeiro poder. «Um guia envolvente destinado a "transformar consciência em riqueza" por meio do ioga e da meditação.»Publishers Weekly

Access to Origins: Affines, Ancestors, and Aristocrats
by Mary W. HelmsIn many non-industrial, non-Western societies, power and prestige are closely linked to the extent of an individual's or group's perceived connection to the supernatural realm, which also explains and validates tangible activities such as economic success, victories in war, or control over lucrative trade. Affines (in-laws), ancestors, and aristocrats, in particular, are connected to the realm of creative cosmological origins (i. e. , to Genesis), which accords them distinctive, supernatural powers and gives them a natural and legitimate right to worldly authority. This is the hypothesis that Mary W. Helms pursues in this broadly cross-cultural study of aristocracy in chiefly societies. She begins with basic ideas about the dead, ancestors, affines, and concepts of cosmological origins. This leads her to a discussion of cosmologically defined hierarchies, the qualities that characterize aristocracy, and the political and ideological roles of aristocrats as wife-givers and wife-takers (that is, as in-laws). She concludes by considering various models that explain how societies may develop or define aristocracies.
