Description: In lively, readable prose, Howard Zinn's best-selling A People's History of the United States radically rethinks - and in the process reclaims for ordinary people of every race and class - an American past too often made a showcase for a white elite. He treats history as a symphony of previously unheard voices of African Americans, women, Native Americans, war resisters, and working-class people of all nationalities. Covering a wide span, from the waves of early European explorers to the Clinton presidency, this masterpiece of radical history is now available for Spanish-speaking readers. "[Professor Zinn's] text is studded with telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters, and fugitive slaves . . . [providing] a reversal of perspectives, a reshuffling of heroes and villains." - The New York Times Book Review

Description: El código maya constituye una profunda exploración de la manera en que, a medida que nos aproximamos al final del calendario maya, el tiempo y la conciencia se aceleran y nos proporcionan una nueva comprensión del universo. Valiéndose de las investigaciones de Carl Johan Calleman, y de las ideas de otros expertos en el calendario maya, Barbara Hand Clow examina 16 400 millones de años de evolución y descodifica las pautas creativas de la Tierra, o sea, la conciencia mundial. Estas grandes pautas culminan en 2011 y luego, durante 2012, importantes influencias astrológicas nos inspirarán a alcanzar la unidad y la iluminación.
El código maya muestra cómo los ciclos temporales del calendario coinciden con períodos importantes en los bancos de datos evolutivos de la Tierra y la Galaxia de la Vía Láctea. Estas fases de la evolución convergen durante la etapa final del Calendario, el período comprendido entre 1999 y 2011. Tanto la guerra y la territorialidad como la gestión de los recursos y la separación de la naturaleza son parte de los acontecimientos cotidianos que debemos procesar durante estos escasos años: son prueba de la espiral del tiempo cada vez más compacta que estamos experimentando debido a la aceleración del tiempo. Barbara Hand Clow nos asegura que nuestra propia sanación personal es el factor más importante al prepararnos para dar este salto crítico en la evolución humana. Esto se ha dado en llamar “el despertar de la conciencia mundial”.
Bestselling author Barbara Hand Clow shows how the Mayan Calendar is a bridge to galactic wisdom that fosters personal growth and human evolution
• Unearths the meaning behind the calendar, its message for modern civilization, and what will happen when the calendar ends
• Reveals how time acceleration is a manifestation of the acceleration of consciousness
• By the author of The Pleiadian Agenda
In this book, Barbara Hand Clow draws on the work of biologist Carl Johan Calleman and many other New Paradigm researchers to unearth the deeper meaning behind the Mayan Calendar and its message for modern civilization, especially during its final five years. As we approach the end of the calendar, time and consciousness are accelerating. Working with Calleman’s time-acceleration theory, Barbara Hand Clow shows how the cycles of time marked by the calendar match important periods in the evolutionary data banks of Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy and that the calendar describes the evolutionary stage to come. She explores how our own personal healing is the most important factor as we prepare to make this critical leap in human evolution--now referred to as the awakening of the World Mind.

Description: This is not a fictional tale nor a history book, nor does it have-strictly speaking-a main character, as there were countless men and women involved in the events that took place in Madrid in 1808. Heroes and cowards, victims and executioners, history kept the names of most of them. The people, places, and events recounted here are real, as are much of the words that are spoken. In this book, Arturo Perez-Reverte transforms the obscure and individual stories recorded in books and archives into a collective account. The author's imagination is therefore reduced to the mortar that joins the narratives. By making use of the most basic liberties that a novel allows, these pages bring to life the individuals who, for over two hundred years, have either remained anonymous or lived only in brief accounts of official papers. Description in Spanish: Este relato no es ficcion ni libro de Historia. Tampoco tiene un protagonista concreto, pues fueron innumerables los hombres y mujeres envueltos en los sucesos del 2 de mayo de 1808 en Madrid. Heroes y cobardes, victimas y verdugos, la Historia retuvo los nombres de buena parte de ellos: las relaciones de muertos y heridos, los informes militares, las memorias escritas por actores principales o secundarios de la tragedia, aportan datos rigurosos para el historiador y ponen limites a la imaginacion del novelista. Cuantas personas y lugares aparecen aqui son autenticos, asi como los sucesos narrados y muchas de las palabras que se pronuncian. En Un dia de colera, Arturo Perez-Reverte convierte en historia colectiva las pequenas y oscuras historias particulares registradas en archivos y libros. Lo imaginado, por tanto, se reduce a la argamasa narrativa que une las piezas. Con las licencias minimas que la palabra novela justifica, estas paginas pretenden devolver la vida a quienes durante doscientos anos solo han sido personajes anonimos en grabados y lienzos contemporaneos, o escueta relacion de nombres en los documentos oficiales.

Description: Reveals the Mayan calendar to be a spiritual device that describes the evolution of human consciousness from ancient times into the future. • Shows the connection between cosmic evolution and actual human history. • Provides a new science of time that explains why time not only seems to be speeding up in the modern world but actually is getting faster. • Explains how the end of the Mayan calendar is not the end of the world, but a path toward enlightenment. The prophetic Mayan calendar is not keyed to the movement of planetary bodies. Instead, it functions as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness and records how spiritual time flows, providing a new science of time. The calendar is associated with nine creation cycles, which represent nine levels of consciousness or Underworlds on the Mayan cosmic pyramid. Using empirical research Calleman shows how this pyramidal structure of the development of consciousness can explain matters as disparate as the common origin of world religions and the modern complaint that time seems to be moving faster. Time, in fact, is speeding up as we transition from the materialist Planetary Underworld that governs us today to a new and higher frequency of consciousness--the Galactic Underworld--in preparation for the final Universal level of conscious enlightenment. Calleman reveals how the Mayan calendar is a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the nature of conscious evolution throughout human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this growth toward enlightenment.

Description: 60s Americana galore! With the consumerist euphoria of the fifties still going strong and the race to the moon at its height, the mood of advertising in the sixties was cheerful, optimistic, and at times, revolutionary. The decade's ads touted perceived progress (such as tang and instant omelets-"just add water") while striving to reinforce good old American values. Stars like Sean Connery, Woody Allen, Salvador Dalí, and Sammy Davis Jr. endorsed everything from bourbon to handmade suits in an attempt by Madison Avenue to urge Americans to open their wallets and participate in one giant consumer binge. Social change at the end of the era brought psychedelic swirls and liberated women and minorities to a newly conscious public. Keep an eye out for some of the more surprising and controversial ads-such as Tupperware billing its storage container as a "wifesaver." From forgotten cars such as the Dodge Dart, to cigarettes ("This Christmas give cartons of Luckies") to food (mmm! TV dinners!) and much more, this colorful collection of print ads explores the wide, wonderful world of 60s Americana.
