Como cubana amante de mi tierra ( aunque fuera de ella como muchos) y sobre todo lectora asidua, encuentro el libro del Doctor Costa, una lectura que ningún cubano debe dejar pasar de largo. Hay que leerlo; es sensacional. En su gran obra, de dos volúmenes, no sólo nos encontramos con un gran escritor con dominio de nuestro bello idioma sino que vemos nuestra historia reflejada con una lucidez: que sólo un gran historiador y escritor logra en su trabajo. Me he sentido más cubana, después de leer los libros de Don Octavio, y sobre todo orgullosa de nuestra cuba que espero pronto recuperemos. Gracias Don Octavio por sus gran dedicación y trabajo. Todos los cubanos en el Exilio, les estamos agradecidos. Y, pronto seguro, con la ayuda de Dios y la historia... los cubanos dentro de nuestra maravillosa Isla podrán también disfrutar su obra. Y saber que en el Exilio, existe, un gran historiador que se ha pasado la vida plasmando con maestría nuestra Historia. GRACIAS DON OCTAVIO!!!!!!!

In the Shadow of the Towers is a collection of essays and poems by Tribecca residents about 9/11 and its aftermath. These are the folks who live two to six blocks from World Trade Center, who pulled their kids out of the elementary school three blocks north of the towers when the planes hit and were unable to return home for a month afterwards, but who eventually did return to rebuild their community next to the gaping hole of Ground Zero.

The past year has brought us many stories of the people who died in the Towers, the workers who cleared up the pit, tales of tragedy and heroes. This is a book written by the ordinary folks who just happened to live near the worst terrorist attack in history, and continue to live there, under an empty swath of sky that serves as a reminder to the worst day of their lives.

It's one more aspect of that day's history, small but touching, and the voices are worth hearing.

This book is an incredibly useful guide to the trees of Monteverde and should be bought by all students, faculty and tourists visting the area, who are interested in plants. It has a clear, easy-to-use key for plant identification and provides detailed, interesting information on most of Monteverde's important tree species. In addition, it provides a good introduction to plant ecology in the region.

I have used this book extensively in the field and have found it to be an excellent field guide. I would highly recommend it to anyone- whether a seasoned botanist or a tourist interested in learning more about the area's vegetation.

Gostaria de comprar o livro "Introdução à arqueologia brasileira: etnografia e história" de Angyone Costa

LIvre sévère et concis. L'auteur analyse les causes et les mécanismes de l'expansion étatique dans la France moderne. Constat douloureux appuyé sur son expérience concrète de haut fonctionnaire dans une France encore marquée par l'empreinte Gaulienne, mais confrontée à l'émergence d'un monde radicalement neuf.

Le livre témoigne superbement de ce temps et des malaises de notre discordance collective à ces jours nouveaux. Son diagnostic reste juste, même si certains passages ont vieilli.

Mais c'est surtout son ton qui parait étrangement déplacée aujourd'hui. L'auteur évoque l'"effervescence anxieuse et altière" qui caractériserait l'histoire de notre pays. Où la trouverait on aujourd'hui?

Par ses exigences et par ses espoirs, le livre émeut malgré la réserve du style. Et il convainc par sa lucidité.

I have read Avalon romances and Avalon career romances for the last few years, and the quality varies greatly from book to book and from author to author. Labor of Love is one of the best. Well-written, engrossing, deeply romantic, and intelligent, it is a novel that I really enjoyed. Some Avalon romances are written in a shallow, eighth-grade style; this one is terrific. I was born and raised in St. Louis, so I appreciated the St. Louis setting, also.

It is time you loose your naivety on such vital topics as time, space, and the nature of the material world. If Madonna says she's a material girl, it's obvious from costa de beauregard's work that she totally ignores what this statement implies. So be cautious next time you say: it's real. Read this book, then listen to Madonna. Quite an experience indeed!
