Te amaré eternamente: ... y otros mitos de la vida en pareja
by Diana WangLa psicóloga Diana Wang, con casi cincuenta años de ejercicio como terapeuta de parejas, recaba algunas observaciones, consejos y lecciones que fue aprendiendo tanto de sus pacientes como de su propia experiencia para todos los que quieren compartir la vida con otra persona. Nos arrojamos a las relaciones de pareja ilusionados y convencidos de que el amor y el deseo durarán por siempre. Pero esa sensación de mariposas en la panza, que algunos llaman infatuación, no es eterna. Con suerte, cuando el fuego se va apagando, queda el rescoldo tibio y amable de una buena relación, confianza, lazos familiares y expectativas a futuro. Nos hemos formado en una cultura que lee todo lo anterior como un pobre consuelo ante la falta del fuego sublime de la pasión desatada. Y pasado un tiempo, descubrimos que tenemos poco en común con el otro, que las peleas son una constante y que no coincidimos en casi nada. Con la extensión de la vida y el cambio de paradigma de este siglo, la pareja de larga data tambalea, aunque el tema ha recibido poca atención en nuestra sociedad. ¿Cómo hacemos para sostener un proyecto de a dos en un mundo donde la idea de enamorarse para siempre ya no tiene tanta fuerza? La psicóloga Diana Wang, con casi cinco décadas de ejercicio como terapeuta de parejas, recaba algunas observaciones, consejos y lecciones que fue aprendiendo tanto de sus pacientes como de su experiencia personal. Con humor, calidez y realismo, aborda temas como el dinero, el sexo, la monogamia, la fidelidad, los hijos, los nietos, los suegros, el espacio personal, los secretos, los divorcios, las nuevas parejas y las familias ensambladas. Este libro extraordinario es una lectura imprescindible para todos los que quieren seguir apostando a la misteriosa aventura de compartir la vida con otra persona.

La simple promesa de compañerismo ofrecida en este libro bilingüe (español e inglés) con páginas de cartón es realzada por preguntas interactivas en todo el libro, animando a que los padres participen con sus hijos mientras leen. Los estudios han demostrado que hacer preguntas, como las de este libro, ayuda a los niños a aprender a leer más rápido que si solo escucharan un cuento. ¡El amor y la alfabetización son regalos que podemos hacerles a nuestros hijos todos los días!From the Board edition.

Te voy a contar una historia: La mía y la de mi hijo, cuando fue atrapado por las drogas
by Martha Alicia ChávezUna impactante historia personal sobre la lucha de una madre por vencer su codependencia y desarrollar la fortaleza necesaria para liberar a su hijo de las drogas. Te voy a contar una historia, que me pide ser contada. Una historia verdadera sobre drogas, sufrimiento y redención. Sobre el infierno y el cielo; sobre el tormento y la culpa; sobre la fe y los milagros; sobre el poder del amor. Una historia en la que el "¿por qué a mí?" se convirtió en "Gracias porque a mí". Un gracias que te puede parecer absurdo si no ves más allá, si no ves con los ojos del alma que encuentra en todo un para qué. El protagonista es mi hijo Francisco (Paco). Él me ha dado su permiso para contarte su historia, que es también la mía y se parece a la de millones. Las historias superadas ameritan ser contadas, porque pueden servir a otros. Hay cosas que tienen que suceder; que están escritas así para que abran, para que empujen, para que hagan crecer. Las piezas y los actores se van poco a poco entrelazando, a veces durante años, para que suceda eso que ya es.
Tea and Green Ribbons: A Memoir
by Evelyn Doyle[From the dust jacket:] "In the slums of Dublin in 1953, Evelyn Doyle's mother ran off with a lover, abandoning her family and leaving Evelyn's father to care for six children. Already struggling to support his children as a painter and decorator, Desmond Doyle faced the fact that he would have to turn them over to church-run industrial schools while he went to England, where he could earn higher wages and save money to support them without state assistance. He believed the placement was temporary. However, upon his return to Dublin several months later, he discovered that the Irish state had assumed custody of the children and refused to release them. Tea and Green Ribbons is the astonishing, heart-wrenching tale of Desmond's dramatic quest to get his children back, told in gripping fashion by his daughter, Evelyn. In the ensuing years after losing his children, Desmond devoted himself to working with some of Ireland's foremost legal experts to fight both the Church and the government. Meanwhile Evelyn, his eldest child, discovered the crisp, clean joys and lonely sorrows of life in the care of nuns. After two years the Irish Supreme Court finally made an unprecedented decision--which, for the first time in Irish legal history, took into account the children's wishes--and Desmond, his daughter, and his sons began their lives again. Evelyn Doyle has crafted a jewel-like chronicle of a major turning point in Irish mores and culture. Uplifting, gritty, and emotionally compelling, this stunning memoir is an unforgettable celebration of the Irish spirit."

by Alexander McCall SmithTHE TENTH BOOK IN THE BELOVED NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY SERIESThe one where Mma Makutsi has a love rival . . . Mma Makutsi's engagement to Phuti Radiphuti has progressed smoothly so far, but suddenly there is trouble in the form of her glamorous, empty-headed rival Violet Sephotho.While solving the amorous problems of her neighbours and clients is where Mma Ramotswe excels, the world of football is decidedly less familiar - however, when the owner of the Kalahari Swoopers comes to the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, she promises to find the traitor among the team's ranks.
Tea Time For The Traditionally Built (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #10)
by Alexander McCall SmithIt is a troublesome fact on which even Mma Ramotswe and her assistant Mma Makutsi agree: there are things that men know and ladies do not, and vice versa. It is unfortunate, for example, when Mma Ramotswe's newest client is the big-shot owner of the ailing Kalahari Swoopers, that one thing lady detectives know very little about is football. And when the glamorous Violet Sephotho sets her sights on Mma Makutsi's unsuspecting fiancé, it becomes exasperatingly clear that some men do not know how to recognise a ruthless Jezebel even when she is bouncing up and down on the best bed in the Double Comfort Furniture Shop. In her attempt to foster understanding between the sexes and find the traitor on Mr Football's team, Mma Ramotswe ventures into new territory, drinks tea in unfamiliar kitchens and learns to trust in the observational powers of small boys. And, as wise and warm-hearted as his heroine, Alexander McCall Smith reminds us that we must dig deep to uncover the goodness of the human heart.

Teach Your Baby to Read: The Gentle Revolution
by Glenn DomanThe effect of this book may well mark a turning point in the education of our children. Glenn Doman's work in teaching children to read at a very young age is fascinating and it is to be welcomed. The younger we are, the easier we often find it to learn, and there is no reason to deny children the opportunity to learn to read while they are still very small. Why should we limit our children to television and comic strips when reading may be well within their grasp, can give them such pleasure, and is so vital for their education?
