M4M: For an Hour or Forever--the Gay Man's Guide to Finding Love Online
by Jack MauroAND -- FOR BETTER OR WORSE -- THERE'S NO LAST CALL. Millions of gay men are searching for love. And the vast majority of them are now searching online. But while the Internet helps bring people together, its anonymity, lack of rules, and easy stage for false advertising often result in disappointing matches. But the right guy is out there. Chances are good that every gay man could find exactly what he's looking for online . . . if he only knew where and how to look. In M4M, Jack Mauro offers candid, witty advice on every aspect of the gay online-dating arena -- how to (and how not to) compose a successful profile, what kind of photo to use ("normal," naked, and everything in between), the art of instant messaging (from the basics to advanced seduction), "straight" men in gay chats, navigating the usual suspects found in seemingly every chat room, taking it offline, and much, much more. Whether the goal is a quick fling or a lifelong partnership, M4M gives both the frustrated online veteran and the curious newbie everything they need to know to get them away from the keyboard and into a satisfying real-life connection.
MALVINAS, LA ILUSION Y LA PERDIDA (EBOOK
by S. Plager#Aquí el aire es frío pero no apaga las pasiones##, escribe María Sáez en su diario. La protagonista de esta epopeya fue una mujer admirable que por amor a su marido, Luis Vernet, un americanista de espíritu aventurero, aceptó trasladarse al extremo sur del mundo, sin sospechar que las islas se adueñarían de su corazón. Los Vernet fueron los últimos gobernadores argentinos en Malvinas, entre 1829 y 1831. Auténticos pioneros, lograron vencer la geografía salvaje y el clima hostil para crear un hogar. El salón de María, con su araña de caireles, su biblioteca y su piano, reproducía los de las tertulias porteñas del siglo XIX. Pero hacia 1832 los Vernet debieron abandonar las costas en las que habían invertido su fortuna y depositado sus sueños. El desembarco de naves británicas dispuestas a conseguir el control de las rutas del Atlántico destruyó todo lo que ellos pacientemente habían construido. Malvinas, la ilusión y la pérdida es, además de un exquisito viaje al pasado, la historia de amor de dos seres excepcionales que imaginaron un futuro próspero, feliz, en el lugar más lejano e inhóspito de nuestro territorio.

Nada marca de manera más clara nuestro día a día, la vida cotidiana tal y como tiene lugar aquí en el sur del planeta. Para empezar la jornada, para renovar energías, para combatir la soledad o para todo lo contrario, el rito está siempre al alcance de la mano.

Desde las comunidades nativas hasta hoy, la historia completa de la yerba: cómo se consumía en los distintos territorios americanos, cuáles eran las supersticiones que la rodeaban, cómo la veían los españoles, cómo evolucionó su consumo. Relatos, pinturas, versos, aventuras y canciones en torno al mate. El imprescindible manual del buen cebado. Nada falta en esta investigación exhaustiva y justa, dedicada a nuestro yuyo más importante, ese que, a diferencia de la soja, no divide sino que une.
