Mama and Papa could not agree on a name for their first baby, and everyone in the family had an opinion. That's how the name Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico came to be, and Pacho's parents insisted that everyone use his full name. But when Pacho finds himself in trouble, his younger brother, Juan, must quickly find help, which isn't easy when you have to keep saying Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico. Author Silvia Lopez highlights family values, community connections, and brotherly love in this interactive, energetic, and silly picture book. Pacho Nacho is based on an old Japanese folktale and includes Spanish words and phrases and multicultural settings.
Hero–or Nazi?Silvia Foti was raised on reverent stories about her hero grandfather, a martyr for Lithuanian independence and an unblemished patriot. Jonas Noreika, remembered as “General Storm,” had resisted his country’s German and Soviet occupiers in World War II, surviving two years in a Nazi concentration camp only to be executed in 1947 by the KGB. His granddaughter, growing up in Chicago, was treated like royalty in her tightly knit Lithuanian community.But in 2000, when Silvia traveled to Lithuania for a ceremony honoring her grandfather, she heard a very different story—a “rumor” that her grandfather had been a “Jew-killer.”The Nazi’s Granddaughter is Silvia’s account of her wrenching twenty-year quest for the truth, from a beautiful house confiscated from its Jewish owners, to familial confessions and the Holocaust tour guide who believed that her grandfather had murdered members of his family.A heartbreaking and dramatic story based on exhaustive documentary research and soul-baring interviews, The Nazi’s Granddaughter is an unforgettable journey into World War II history, intensely personal but filled with universal lessons about courage, faith, memory, and justice.

A fascinating story of bravery, betrayal, and the transformative power of seeking and finding the truth at whatever the cost.Hero–or Nazi?

Postdata se define a s misma como una red de compilaci n, reproducci n y circulaci n de escritos te ricos sobre humanismo, cultura y sociedad. Su formato, hasta ahora sencillo, r stico, responde a la necesidad de garantizar la salida de art culos y ensayos con la rapidez de inmediatez indispensables para el sostenimiento de un di logo vivo entre los escritores e investigadores del pa s interesados en lanzar sus ideas y contribuciones al ruedo de la discusi n abierta y p blica.Las revistas de corte te rico o investigativo actualmente existentes, a pesar de la innegable importancia de la labor que realizan, est n casi todas restringidas al mbito institucional acad mico de sus respectivas especialidades, sus materiales ven la luz con dos o tres y hasta m s de cuatro a os de retraso; no admiten en su mayor a ensayos investigativo con formatos innovadores, o distintos de los exigidos por los lineamientos de su especialidad; no apelan a un p blico intelectual general amplio, representativo de experiencias distintas. El autor o investigador con deseos de di logo e intercambio con diferentes sectores de la comunidad no tiene m s opci n, si depende de esa revista, que esperar varios a os por la salida de su trabajo, y varios a os m s para recibir alg n tipo de reacci n o respuesta que estimule su labor. Adem s, dado el marco restringido en que circulan, podr contar con que, a lo sumo, dos o tres colegas lean sus escritos, antes de quedar sepultados en los abultados y polvorosos archivos, cat logos y estibas de revistas acad micas que inundan las cocheras, s tanos y bibliotecas de las universidades.Postdata mantiene sus contenidos dentro de un alto nivel intelectual con el entendido de que el pa s necesita un espacio p blico de discusi n a ese nivel y que la complejidad de las ideas no se ri e con la amplitud de su alcance cultural en la comunidad. La discusi n de ideas no tiene porque encerrarse en los departamentos de las universidades o institutos y sus respectivas revistas especializadas o institucionalizadas. Uno de los puntos que define el proyecto de Postdata es la necesidad y voluntad de crear y desarrollar un espacio te rico p blico indispensable en toda sociedad actual con aspiraciones primermundistas, no tercermundistas.A otras publicaciones peri dicas les corresponder abrir esferas de orientaci n distintas de la de Postdata dentro de ese espacio.Uno de los puntos que define a Postdata es su particular esfera de inter s, lo que la revista ha planteado como un pensamiento descentrado sobre "humanismo", "cultura" y "sociedad". Posdata trata de acoger con especial inter s todo pensamiento que intentes seriamente explorar las nuevas perspectivas abiertas por las transformaciones pol ticas, econ micas y culturales ocurridas desde la segunda mitad del Siglo XX pero iluminadas y mostradas ante la vista de todos desde 1989 con el estrepitoso derrumbe de uno de los grandes proyectos de la modernidad: el socialismo estatal o "cient fico". Ese es s lo uno de los acontecimientos m s precipitados y sonados. Quiz s mayor profundidad tengan las transformaciones de la vida pol tica, econ mica y cultural que signan la gran erupci n de los fundamentos de la modernidad que nos permitir n definir conceptos centrales de la actividad intelectual y art stica y cient fica as como cultural tales como el de " ser humano", "humanismo", "identidad", "cultura", "sociedad", "la vida", "la izquierda (pol tica)", "la derecha", "el pueblo" y otros. Al explorar ese tipo de discusi n Postdata intenta colocar la reflexi n cultural puertorrique a en la arena del debate global sobre la cultura y salir un poco del entorno insularista y tercermundista y de las ttradiciones acad micas especializadas.
What if the one thing you wanted most was forbidden?Alpha werewolf King Howler seems to have everything he could want: power, wealth, and his own club where he can act out his dominant fantasies. But the one thing he lacks is his fated mate. Shy loner Emerson has always craved submission, not to another human-to a shifter. Handing over control to anyone could be dangerous, but with a shifter, it might be deadly. Yet all his fantasies star a werewolf who can make him beg. When King and Emerson meet, the bond between them is instinctive and undeniable. King can't resist the pull he feels toward the younger man, even though giving Emerson what he longs for is risky. Emerson doesn't care how vulnerable he is. He knows he belongs with King, and he's willing to do anything to prove it. As longing turns to love, King knows he must find a way to keep Emerson safe, both from his enemies and from himself, because in the end, nothing can stop an alpha from claiming his mate.
