Hablar de acoso y de abuso fisico, psicologico y moral es mostrar una de las expresiones de la violencia humana en el mundo, desafortunadamente, a traves de la historia del mundo todo esto sigue sucediendo. A pesar de que el mundo avanza, la tecnologia despierta cada vez con mas herramientas para ayudar al planeta Tierra a modernizarse dia a dia. Lo unico que, al parecer, no avanza, es el cambio de conciencia o la elevacion de conciencia en los seres humanos, para dejar de hacer este tipo de acosos o de abusos en los seres mas vulnerables e inocentes del planeta Tierra. Recuerdo, desde nino, esa busqueda continua de Dios, como les explique, desde muy pequeno busque esa comunicacion directa con Dios, sin pensar en todo lo que tenia que enfrentar para poder darme cuenta y llegar a la conclusion que Dios esta dentro de mi. Tome la decision de escribir este libro, ya que cuando estaba en la cuspide, en los medios de comunicacion tanto radio, television y prensa, logrando un importante lugar como figura publica en la comunidad, la gente me hablaba y me atacaba de cierta forma, diciendome: "Es muy interesante la forma de hablar de usted, una forma bonita, positiva, realmente cuando habla nos damos cuenta, todos los que lo escuchamos, que en realidad nunca ha pasado por cosas dificiles, que en su vida nunca ha tenido carencias, que siempre se le ha dado todo con facilidad". Cada que escuchaba sus palabras se me venian a la mente todas las experiencias negativas que habia tenido en mi vida, y me decia a mi mismo: “un dia las compartire en un nuevo libro, ya que con mis experiencias podria ayudar a las personas que han pasado por este tipo de situaciones, a enfrentarlas de una forma diferente, a darse cuenta de que si reconocemos que Dios esta dentro de nosotros, podemos sacarle el mejor partido a todas las cuestiones negativas que pasen en nuestra vida, entenderemos que Dios en la vida nos da oportunidades para cambiar nuestra historia, cambiar nuestra vida y no quedarnos en el papel de victimas y con esto sufrir, amargarnos la vida, incluso llegar al borde del suicidio”. Es simple solo darnos cuenta de que Dios es Yo y Yo soy Dios, ya que somos parte de su energia suprema, como una chispa divina.

Conquering Nature provides the only book-length analysis of the environmental situation in Cuba after four decades of socialist rule, based on extensive examination of secondary sources, informed by the study of development and environmental trends in former socialist countries as well as in the developing world. It approaches the issue comprehensively and from interdisciplinary, comparative, and historical perspectives. Based on the Cuban example, Diaz-Briquets and Perez-L—pez challenge the concept that environmental disruption was not supposed to occur under socialism since it was alleged that guided by scientific policies, socialism could only beget environmentally benign economic development. In reality, the socialist environmental record proved to be far different from the utopian view. Between the early 1960s and the late 1980s the environmental situation worsened despite Cuba's achieving one of the lowest population growth rates in the world and having eliminated extreme living standard differentials in rural areas, two of the primary reasons often blamed for environmental deterioration in developing countries. The government's approach was to "conquer nature" and under its central planning approach, it did not take local circumstances into consideration. This disregard for the environmental consequences of development projects continues to this day despite official allegations to the contrary—as the country pursues an economic survival strategy based on the crash development of the tourist sector and exploitation of natural resources. An underlying conclusion of the book is that the environmental legacy of socialism will present serious challenges to future Cuban generations. Conquering Nature provides, for the first time, a relevant analysis of socialist environmental policies of a developing country. It will be of interest to students and scholars of Cuba and those interested in environmental issues in developing countries.

While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded - by a new government. This is a comprehensive analysis of corruption in Cuba, and prescriptions for minimizing it in the post-Castro era. While Fidel Castro maintains his longtime grip on Cuba, revolutionary scholars and policy analysts have turned their attention from how Castro succeeded (and failed), to how Castro himself will be succeeded - by a new government. Among the many questions to be answered is how the new government will deal with the corruption that has become endemic in Cuba. Even though combating corruption cannot be the central aim of post-Castro policy, Sergio Diaz-Briquets and Jorge Perez-Lopez suggest that, without a strong plan to thwart it, corruption will undermine the new economy, erode support for the new government, and encourage organized crime. In short, unless measures are taken to stem corruption, the new Cuba could be as messy as the old Cuba. Fidel Castro did not bring corruption to Cuba; he merely institutionalized it. Official corruption has crippled Cuba since the colonial period, but Castro's state-run monopolies, cronyism, and lack of accountability have made Cuba one of the world's most corrupt states

Joaquín Torres-García (Uruguayan, 1874-1949) is one of the most complex and emblematic modern masters from the first half of the 20th century, whose work determined transformational paths for modern art on both sides of the Atlantic. Manifesting a profound impulse toward the avant-garde as much as the primitive, and stressing a schematic impulsion alongside a permanent fascination with the notion of utopia, he participated in some of the most crucial intellectual and artistic discussions of the past century. His personal involvement with a significant number of early Modern and avant-garde movements, from Catalan Noucentismo to Cubism, Ultraism- Vibrationism, and Neo-Plasticism, make him an unparalleled figure in the history of modernism in the Americas. Published in conjunction with the first major, all-inclusive retrospective of the artist's work in the US since the 1970s, this richly illustrated publication presents Torres-García's long and wide-ranging career, from the late 19th century to the 1940s, and includes drawings, paintings, objects and sculptures. Combining a chronological presentation with a thematic approach, the book is organized into five separate essays with interspersed plates, following an illustrated chronology and an extensive bibliography.
