Rere les passes dels templers: La veritable història de l'ordre del Temple en terres catalanes
by Ramon SarobeLa història dels templers a Catalunya, els monjos guerrers que van néixer al segle XII per defensar Terra Santa. Aquest és un llibre sobre els templers a Catalunya, els famosos frares guerrers de les croades, que desaparegueren de la història deixant una estela de llegendes, rondalles i misteris. Però aquest no és un llibre sobre misteris, és un llibre sobre veritats. A través de les seves pàgines el lector anirà descobrint diversos aspectes de l'orde del Temple, alguns d'ells inaudits, que l'ajudaran a fer-se una idea força assenyada de qui van ser en realitat aquests homes. Així, veurem els seus inicis modestos, quan l'orde dels Pobres Cavallers de Crist va ser fundat a Jerusalem l'any 1120; sabrem qui van ser els seus patrocinadors, i també els seus detractors; examinarem el seu dia a dia, les seves vestimentes i el seu armament; sabrem com combatien i en quants fets d'armes van estar; quins eren els seus temors, els seus orgulls i les seves esperances; els veurem viatjar i establir-se a terres catalanes; contemplarem com es van extingir en unes jornades èpiques i a la vegada tràgiques; i, finalment, examinarem amb cura els fets que han portat a parlar d'una llegenda dels templers. En definitiva, seguirem els templers, anirem rere les seves passes, guaitant-los i observant-los per saber, no només qui eren, sinó també com eren.
Rereading William Styron: Poems
by Gavin Cologne-BrookesThe first critical study of William Styron since his death in 2006, Rereading William Styron offers an eloquent reflection on the writer's works, world, and character. Bringing an innovative approach to literary criticism, Gavin Cologne-Brookes combines personal anecdote, scholarly research, travel writing, and primary material to provide fresh perspectives on Styron's achievements.For Cologne-Brookes, rereading unfolds in two ways: through close analysis of texts, and through remembrance. He begins with reminiscences about the man behind the books and then, giving due consideration to Styron's stories, incidental writings, and posthumous publications, interprets anew all his significant work -- from the nonfiction, including his acclaimed memoir of depression, Darkness Visible, to the novels Lie Down in Darkness, Set This House on Fire, The Confessions of Nat Turner, and Sophie's Choice. Defining the relevance of Styron's writing in terms of everyday life, Cologne-Brookes explores the intricate relationships between an author, his work, and his readership, and between history and fiction, and writing and place. The book's emphasis on subjectivity and dynamic interaction makes it unique in Styron criticism and a striking contribution to the debate about what it means to study literature.

Rescatando palabras (Digging for Words Spanish Edition): José Alberto Gutiérrez y la biblioteca que creó
by Angela Burke KunkelUn espléndido e inspirador álbum ilustrado acerca de la vida de José Alberto Gutiérrez, un recolector de basura de Bogotá, Colombia, que creó una biblioteca a partir de un libro que rescató de la basura mientras realizaba su ruta. En la ciudad de Bogotá, en el barrio La Nueva Gloria, viven dos Josés. Uno es un niño que sueña con los sábados, día en que él y otros niños del barrio visitan el Paraíso, la biblioteca. El otro José es un recolector de basura. Desde el atardecer hasta el amanecer, escudriña las aceras de las calles por donde conduce entornando los ojos bajo la tenue luz en busca de tesoros escondidos… ¡Libros! Algunos en pilas ordenadas, como a la espera de que José los descubra. Otros requieren más esfuerzo para ser encontrados. Desde que descubrió el primer libro, Ana Karenina, José ha estado rescatando libros de la basura: libros gruesos, delgados, usados y casi nuevos, para ampliar la biblioteca que alberga en su casa. Y los sábados, niños como el pequeño José corren hasta llegar al Paraíso y descubrir un mundo lleno de libros y magia. Con un evocador texto de una autora debutante y llamativas ilustraciones de una prometedora ilustradora colombiana, esta es una celebración de perseverancia, de comunidades y del poder de los libros.
Rescate: La historia de los 33
by Andrew CherninLa historia del rescate minero es contada ahora como una novela de «no ficción». Lo que Mario Gómez sintió fue una onda expansiva. Una corriente invisible que le tapó los oídos y que, en un principio, no entendió. De a poco el minero de 63 años se dio cuenta del desastre: la mina San José se había derrumbado y los trabajadores habían quedado atrapados a setecientos metros de profundidad. Ahora tendrían que sobrevivir. Casi sin víveres. Observando cómo adelgazaban paulatinamente. Y cómo los más jóvenes devaneaban con la posibilidad de autoinmolarse. Andrew Chernin consigue develar en estas páginas el perfil de los dueños de la mina, la auténtica calidad humana y profesional de un ministro como Laurence Golborne, el heroísmo de los expertos sondajistas, los diecisiete días a oscuras, la desesperación y la emoción de una historia, pese a todo, increíble. Un relato audaz, literario, para el cual el autor viajó en numerosas ocasiones al Campamento Esperanza y entrevistó a los principales protagonistas de esta epopeya. En especial, al minero Mario Gómez, con quien habló en su casa de Copiapó durante horas, y quien le reveló no sólo aspectos sensibles de la convivencia de los mineros durante los diecisiete días en que permanecieron completamente aislados en el centro de la Tierra, sino que también le contó su impresionante historia personal. Al talento de Andrew Chernin le debemos la auténtica "novela de no- ficción" -como diría Truman Capote- que ofrecemos al lector.
Rescue 194
by Humphrey Price P.O. Aircrewman Jay O'Donnell QGM'The sky had gone: in its place was a wall of water, white horses on the top, readying itself to fall on me.'What kind of man throws himself out of a helicopter in a storm?Or dangles by a thread over mountainous waves?Or strikes a panicking sailor to save his life?Aircrewman Jay O'Donnell, a former Royal Navy Search and Rescue diver, has seen - and lived - it all. Scrambled at a moment's notice, in all weathers - but usually the worst - he and the crew of Sea King Rescue 194 have braved some of the most frightening storms ever to lash the UK.In this gripping account, O'Donnell describes the mix of bravery and terror that comes with every call. He explains the rigours of training; tells of grisly tasks like fishing bodies out the sea; conveys the horror of being winched 80 feet in a storm while clutching a squirming baby, or being dragged through freezing waters on a loose line.Culminating in the astonishing, hair-raising rescue of 26 crew from the MSC Napoli disaster in Cornwall, January 2007 - where O'Donnell was decorated for his courage and refusal to give up in appalling conditions - Rescue 194 is an unforgettable tribute to the Royal Navy's search and rescue crews.

Rescue Men
by Charles C. KenneyThe men in Charles Kenney's family have been drawn to firefighting since his grandfather Charles "Pops" Kenney joined the Boston Fire Department in 1932. In his working class, Irish-Catholic neighborhood, there were other jobs that offered a decent wage, but none had the sense of belonging that comes with being a fireman, or the purity of purpose that comes with saving lives. Pops was on the scene of the notorious Cocoanut Grove fire in 1942; the author's father, "Sonny" served with distinction until an explosion blew him from a third-story window; and two of the author's brothers were "sparks" as children, amateur firefighters, whose career goals were thwarted by a court order integrating the Boston fire department and changing the rules for employment forever. One became a cop, the other a paramedic and rescue man with an elite squad sent to Ground Zero in the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center. Spanning sixty years of firefighting history in America, Rescue Men captures what it's really like to be a fireman.
Rescue Party: A Graphic Anthology of COVID Lockdown (Pantheon Graphic Library)

Rescued from ISIS: The Gripping True Story of How a Father Saved His Son
by Dimitri BontinckRescued from ISIS is the inspiring and terrifying tale of one man's journey to the Middle East to save his child from radical Islam, and its surprising worldwide repercussions.Dimitri Bontinck lived every parent's worst nightmare. His teenage son, introduced to Islam by his girlfriend, fell into the clutches of a radical mosque. Dimitri watched helplessly as his son, Jay, transformed from a gentle boy to a soldier in training, wearing traditional robes and following a strict diet. Completely brainwashed, Jay snuck out of the house and traveled to Syria, all but vanishing. Too late, Dimitri learned that their country, Belgium, was the leading hotbed of Islamic radicalization. Large numbers of teenagers were being lured into this world and expertly indoctrinated into radical Islam. One by one, they disappeared into the Middle East, most never to be seen again.With no one to help him, Dimitri--a white, Christian-raised atheist--set off on his own to save his son. Using only his military training, a lot of courage, and a little luck, he gradually embedded himself deeper and deeper into the Middle East. After months of searching and several close calls—including being thrown in a jail cell and beaten—he was able to find his son and bring him home. The world was shocked at his unprecedented success, and he started receiving pleas from families around the world, asking that he rescue their children, as well. Increasingly fearful for his own life but unable to ignore these cries for help, Dimitri accepted his newfound role as The Jihadi Hunter.
Rescued from the Nation: Anagarika Dharmapala and the Buddhist World
by Steven KemperAnagarika Dharmapala is one of the most galvanizing figures in Sri Lanka’s recent turbulent history. He is widely regarded as the nationalist hero who saved the Sinhala people from cultural collapse and whose "protestant” reformation of Buddhism drove monks toward increased political involvement and ethnic confrontation. Yet as tied to Sri Lankan nationalism as Dharmapala is in popular memory, he spent the vast majority of his life abroad, engaging other concerns. In Rescued from the Nation, Steven Kemper reevaluates this important figure in the light of an unprecedented number of his writings, ones that paint a picture not of a nationalist zealot but of a spiritual seeker earnest in his pursuit of salvation. Drawing on huge stores of source materials--nearly one hundred diaries and notebooks--Kemper reconfigures Dharmapala as a world-renouncer first and a political activist second. Following Dharmapala on his travels between East Asia, South Asia, Europe, and the United States, he traces his lifelong project of creating a unified Buddhist world, recovering the place of the Buddha’s Enlightenment, and imitating the Buddha’s life course. The result is a needed corrective to Dharmapala’s embattled legacy, one that resituates Sri Lanka’s political awakening within the religious one that was Dharmapala’s life project.
Rescued from the Reich: How One of Hitler's Soldiers Saved the Lubavitcher Rebbe
by Bryan RiggWhen Hitler invaded Warsaw in the fall of 1939, hundreds of thousands of civilians--many of them Jewish--were trapped in the besieged city. The Rebbe Joseph Schneersohn, the leader of the ultra-orthodox Lubavitcher Jews, was among them. Followers throughout the world were filled with anguish, unable to confirm whether he was alive or dead. Working with officials in the United States government, a group of American Jews initiated what would ultimately become one of the strangest--and most miraculous--rescues of World War II. The escape of Rebbe Schneersohn from Warsaw has been the subject of speculation for decades. Historian Bryan Mark Rigg has now uncovered the true story of the rescue, which was propelled by a secret collaboration between American officials and leaders of German military intelligence. Amid the fog of war, a small group of dedicated German soldiers located the Rebbe and protected him from suspicious Nazis as they fled the city together. During the course of the mission, the Rebbe learned the shocking truth about the leader of the rescue operation, the decorated Wehrmacht soldier Ernst Bloch: he was himself half-Jewish, and a victim of the rising tide of German antisemitism. A harrowing story about identity and moral responsibility, Rescued from the Reich is also a riveting narrative history of one of the most extraordinary rescue missions of World War II.

Rescuing Julia Twice: A Mother's Tale of Russian Adoption and Overcoming Reactive Attachment Disorder
by Melissa Fay Greene Tina TrasterIn moving and refreshingly candid prose, Rescuing Julia Twice tells Traster's foreign-adoption story, from dealing with the bleak landscape and inscrutable adoption handlers in Siberia, to her feelings of inexperience and ambivalence at being a new mother in her early forties, to her growing realization over months then years that something was "not quite right" with her daughter, Julia, who remained cold and emotionally detached. Why wouldn't she look her parents in the eye or accept their embraces? Why didn't she cry when she got hurt? Why didn't she make friends at school? Traster describes how uncertainty turned to despair as she blamed herself and her mothering skills for her daughter's troublesome behavioral issues, until she came to understand that Julia suffered from reactive attachment disorder, a serious condition associated with infants and young children who have been neglected, abused, or orphaned in infancy. Hoping to help lift the veil of secrecy and shame that too often surrounds parents struggling with attachment issues, Traster describes how with work, commitment, and acceptance, she and her husband have been able to close the gulf between them and their daughter to form a loving bond, and concludes by providing practical advice, strategies, and resources for parents and caregivers.

Rescuing Penny Jane: One Shelter Volunteer, Countless Dogs, and the Quest to Find Them All Homes
by Amy SutherlandWhat shelter dogs need is obvious—a home. But how do we find all those homes? That question sends bestselling writer and lifelong dog lover Amy Sutherland on a quest to find the answers in her own volunteer work and beyond. The result is an unforgettable and inspiring trip through the world of homeless dogs and the people who work so hard to save them. Rescuing Penny Jane introduces readers to dogs like Alfred, a loony, gorilla-sized Goldendoodle, intent on jumping on absolutely everyone at the shelter; Rugby, the crippled pit bull—mix puppy who was found abandoned on a roadside; and Brody, an overly exuberant and misunderstood German shepherd mix. Then there are the author’s own adopted dogs: Penny Jane, the terribly skittish stray from a Maine farm who repeatedly pushes Amy’s patience to its limits; and Walter Joe, who acts like a rabid dog in the shelter only to become a marshmallow in his new home. She also delves into the history of rescue dogs, like Sido, the sheltie mix who inspired the no-kill movement; Sadie, the Civil War dog who braved Gettysburg; and Bummer and Lazarus, San Francisco’s famous nineteenth-century stray dogs.Through conversations with leading shelter directors, researchers, trainers, adoption counselors, and caretakers across the country, Sutherland offers a nuanced, fully informed picture of the rescue world, along with its challenges, champions, and triumphs. Rich, moving, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, Rescuing Penny Jane ultimately explores what it is to be a Canis lupus familiaris and what it is to be a Homo sapien.
Rescuing Regina: The Battle to Save a Friend from Deportation and Death
by Helen Prejean Josephe FlynnA decade after fleeing the Congo for the United States, having endured rape, imprisonment, and torture in her homeland, Regina Bakala found herself locked in a U.S. prison facing deportation to almost certain death.

Their struggle reveals the vast underbelly of injustice in America's harsh detention and deportation system and frighteningly arbitrary asylum process. The book uncovers the very real dangers faced by asylum seekers in the United States, not only from the country they left behind, but also from the country they thought would keep them safe.
Rescuing Riley, Saving Myself: A Man and His Dog's Struggle to Find Salvation
by Pete Nelson Zachary AndereggWhile hiking on a solo vacation in a remote, uninhabitable region of Arizona, Zachary Anderegg happened upon Riley, an emaciated puppy clinging to life, at the bottom of a 350-foot canyon. In a daring act of humanity that trumped the deliberate savagery behind Riley's presence in such a place, Zak single-handedly orchestrated a delicate rescue. What didn't come out in the initial burst of publicity this story received is that Zak and Riley's destinies were intertwined long before they improbably found each other. For much of Zak's childhood, he was at the bottom of a veritable canyon himself--a canyon whose imprisoning depth and darkness was created by bullies who just wouldn't quit and parents who weren't capable of love. From the age of five, Zak was everyone's favorite target. When Zak came upon Riley, the puppy's condition bespoke his abusers' handiwork--three shotgun pellets embedded beneath his skin, teeth turned permanently black from malnutrition. The meeting was one of a man and a dog singularly suited to save each other. As a former US Marine sergeant, Zak was one of only a few people with the mettle and physical wherewithal to get Riley out. And in rescuing him, Zak was also attempting to save himself, conquering the currents of cruelty that swelled beneath his early life and always threatened to drown him.
Rescuing Socrates: How the Great Books Changed My Life and Why They Matter for a New Generation
by Roosevelt MontásA Dominican-born academic tells the story of how the Great Books transformed his life—and why they have the power to speak to people of all backgroundsWhat is the value of a liberal education? Traditionally characterized by a rigorous engagement with the classics of Western thought and literature, this approach to education is all but extinct in American universities, replaced by flexible distribution requirements and ever-narrower academic specialization. Many academics attack the very idea of a Western canon as chauvinistic, while the general public increasingly doubts the value of the humanities. In Rescuing Socrates, Dominican-born American academic Roosevelt Montás tells the story of how a liberal education transformed his life, and offers an intimate account of the relevance of the Great Books today, especially to members of historically marginalized communities.Montás emigrated from the Dominican Republic to Queens, New York, when he was twelve and encountered the Western classics as an undergraduate in Columbia University’s renowned Core Curriculum, one of America’s last remaining Great Books programs. The experience changed his life and determined his career—he went on to earn a PhD in English and comparative literature, serve as director of Columbia’s Center for the Core Curriculum, and start a Great Books program for low-income high school students who aspire to be the first in their families to attend college.Weaving together memoir and literary reflection, Rescuing Socrates describes how four authors—Plato, Augustine, Freud, and Gandhi—had a profound impact on Montás’s life. In doing so, the book drives home what it’s like to experience a liberal education—and why it can still remake lives.
Rescuing Sprite
by Mark R. LevinAlthough Mark Levin is known as a constitutional lawyer and a nationally syndicated broadcaster, he is, first and foremost, a dog lover. In 1998, he and his family welcomed a half-Border Collie/half-Cocker Spaniel they named Pepsi into their lives. Six years later, his wife and son persuaded him to adopt a dog from the local shelter, a Spaniel mix. It turned out he was older than originally thought, and he was the most beautiful dog they'd ever seen. They named him Sprite. Their lives would never be the same. Sprite and Pepsi became fast friends. They did everything together, from rummaging through the trash to loudly greeting the deliveryman. And the Levin family fell in love with him -- with his gentle nature, beautiful face and soft, huggable fur. But on Halloween night, shortly after joining their family, Sprite suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the animal hospital. It was the first of many such visits, and the start of a long journey for the Levin family, filled with much joy and anguish. During the next two years, Sprite and Pepsi were inseparable. And Sprite's bond with the Levin family deepened. Friends, neighbors, and even Mark's radio audience came to know and love Sprite. As Mark's daughter turned eighteen and graduated from high school and Mark's son turned fifteen, Sprite's health deteriorated -- even as his spirits remained high and his beauty and grace continued to inspire. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, the Levin family said their emotional final goodbye. Crushed and consumed with grief, Mark turned to family, friends, and fans for help. But new hope came when the Levins least expected it. "Rescuing Sprite" is a stunningly intimate look at thelove between a family and a dog, one that movingly shows, in Mark Levin's words, that "in the end, we humans are the lucky ones. " The author will donate a portion of his proceeds from the sale of this book to animal shelters.
