Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (Orient Express Ser.)
by Caroline MyssAnatomy of the Spirit is the boldest presentation to date of energy medicine by one of its premier practitioners, internationally acclaimed medical intuitive Caroline Myss, one of the "hottest new voices in the alternative health/spirituality scene" (Publishers Weekly). Based on fifteen years of research into energy medicine, Dr. Myss's work shows how every illness corresponds to a pattern of emotional and psychological stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that have influenced corresponding areas of the human body. Anatomy of the Spirit also presents Dr. Myss's breakthrough model of the body's seven centers of spiritual and physical power, in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions-the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life-to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity. With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth.By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life.
Anatomy of the Superhero Film
by Larrie DudenhoefferThis book addresses what a superhero body can do by developing several "x-rays" of the superbody's sensoria, anatomic structures, internal systems, cellular organizations, and orthotic, chemical, or technological enhancements. In short, these x-rays offer what we might describe as a metamorpho-physiological approach to the superheroes in feature films, theatrical cartoon shorts, and Netflix television series. This approach examines the ways in which the "substance" of superheroes, which includes their masks, costumes, chevrons, weapons, and auras, extends into the diegetic environment of the film, transgressing it, transforming it, and corporealizing it, making it emblematic of the shape, dimensions, contours, and organismic workings of one or more of our major organs, members, orifices, fluids, or cell clusters. Thus the superhero film, as this study claims, works to make us more aware of the mutability, adaptability, modifiability, and virtual capabilities of our own flesh.

Anatomía de un instante
by Javier CercasUn relato vibrante, tenso y pormenorizado que empieza leyéndose como una novela policíaca y acaba leyéndose como una novela de terror. «Este libro es un ensayo en forma de crónica o una crónica en forma de ensayo. Este libro no es una ficción. Este libro es la anatomía de un instante: el instante en que Adolfo Suárez permaneció sentado en la tarde del 23 de febrero de 1981 mientras las balas de los golpistas zumbaban a su alrededor en el hemiciclo del Congreso de los Diputados y todos los demás parlamentarios -todos menos dos: el general Gutiérrez Mellado y Santiago Carrillo- buscaban refugio bajo sus escaños. Este libro es la crónica de ese gesto y la crónica de un golpe de estado y la crónica de unos años decisivos en la historia de España. Este libro es un libro imprescindible. Un libro único.» Javier Cercas Reseña:«Una de las obras capitales de la literatura en lengua castellana de nuestra época.»Alberto Manguel
Anatomía de una trampa
by Fernando BerguidoUna historia verídica de codicia y afán por el poder, con pasajes que parecen tomados de la mejor ficción. En 2009, Ricardo Martinelli fue elegido presidente de Panamá. Su primer viaje oficial fue a Italia porque quería conocer a un personaje que admiraba: Silvio Berlusconi. Ambos eran empresarios multimillonarios, convertidos en políticos, mesiánicos y narcisistas que, una vez en el poder, siguieron haciendo negocios. Ganaron con base a plataformas antisistemas, atacando a los políticos tradicionales en un neopopulismo encabezado por personajes espontáneos y coloridos, en los que prevalecía la improvisación, los eslóganes, la superficialidad y vidas personales rodeadas de excesos. El encuentro terminó con la firma de contratos millonarios por los que salió a la luz la existencia de unas extrañas comisiones cuyo destino se descubre en esta historia. El libro narra la historia desde el primer encuentro entre ambos mandatarios, el rol de los distintos personajes, viajes clandestinos, grabaciones de llamadas, amenazas a periodistas, difusión de falsas noticias, hasta el proceso de investigación llevado a cabo tanto por periodistas de ambos países como por un par de fiscales italianos quienes, con sus pesquisas, sorprendieron a los tramposos. Fernando Berguido estuvo involucrado en las primeras investigaciones periodísticas que denunciaron los contratos, siguió la saga que duró más de cinco años y terminó siendo embajador de Panamá en Italia, teniendo a su cargo las negociaciones que finalizaron con la anulación de los contratos y la devolución de los sobreprecios. El autor no repara en mencionar con nombres y apellidos a personajes de la vida política panameña, muchos de ellos aún en puestos importantes de la administración. Otros siguen prófugos.

Anatomía del mexicano
by Roger BartraLa cultura mexicana del siglo XX inventó un ser nacional cuya identidad, a pesar de ser poco concreta y cambiante, sirvió como importante presencia imaginaria e influyó en la constitución de un poder político nacional: al plantear la configuración de un modelo nacionalista y revolucionario de "los mexicanos", la identidad se transformó en mecanismo legitimador.Anatomía del mexicano es una muestra de pensadores y ensayistas fundamentales que se han aproximado al tema, en ocasiones, como una tentativa por definir y entender "al mexicano"; y en otras, participando en su proceso de gestación. Desde diversas perspectivas, los ensayos de esta antología muestran la evolución de este pensamiento: desde los primeros intentos, a principios del siglo pasado, por definir una "sensibilidad del mexicano", hasta su término actual: la condición postmexicana.El mexicano, definido por su sentido de la muerte, su resentimiento, sus complejos e inhibiciones, es un tema que ha preocupado a nuestros principales escritores y pensadores: Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, José Vasconcelos, Jorge Cuesta, Samuel Ramos, José Revueltas, Antonio Caso, Emilio Uranga, Luis Villoro, Carlos Monsiváis, entre otros. De todos ellos y de otros, se ha recogido en esta antología lo que se considera sus principales aportaciones.

El llamado proceso soberanista fracasó tras los graves acontecimientos políticos, económicos, sociales y judiciales vividos entre septiembre y octubre de 2017.

Este libro intenta ofrecer una visión de síntesis sobre lo ocurrido desde que el procés se puso en marcha en septiembre del 2012, analizando todos sus aspectos tanto internos como externos.
