We''re born with a hunger for roots and a desire to pass on a legacy. The past two decades have seen a boom in family history services that combine genealogy with DNA testing, though this is less a sign of a robust connection to past generations than of its absence. Everywhere we see a pervasive rootlessness coupled with a cult of youth that thinks there is little to learn from our elders. The nursing home tragedies of the Covid-19 pandemic laid bare this devaluing of the old. But it''s not only the elderly who are negatively affected when the links between generations break down; the young lose out too. When the hollowing-out of intergenerational connections deprives youth of the sense of belonging to a story beyond themselves, other sources of identity, from trivial to noxious, will fill the void. Yet however important biological kinship is, the New Testament tells us it is less important than the family called into being by God''s promises. "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" Jesus asks a crowd of listeners, then answers: "Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother." In this great intergenerational family, we are linked by a bond of brotherhood and sisterhood to believers from every era of the human story, past, present, and yet to be born. To be sure, our biological families and inheritances still matter, but heredity and blood kinship are no longer the primary source of our identity. Here is a cure for rootlessness. On this theme: - Matthew Lee Anderson argues that even in an age of IVF no one has a right to have a child. - Emmanuel Katongole describes how African Christians are responding to ecological degradation by returning to their roots. - Louise Perry worries that young environmentalist don''t want kids. - Helmuth Eiwen asks what we can do about the ongoing effects of the sins of our ancestors. - Terence Sweeney misses an absent father who left him nothing. - Wendy Kiyomi gives personal insight into the challenges of adopting children with trauma in their past. - Alastair Roberts decodes that long list of "begats" in Matthew''s Gospel. - Rhys Laverty explains why his hometown, Chessington, UK, is still a family-friendly neighborhood. - Springs Toledo recounts, for the first time, a buried family story of crime and forgiveness. - Monica Pelliccia profiles three generations of women who feed migrants riding the trains north. Also in the issue: - A new Christmas story by Óscar Esquivias, translated from the Spanish - Original poetry by Aaron Poochigian - Reviews of Kim Haines-Eitzen''s Sonorous Desert, Matthew P. Schneider''s God Loves the Autistic Mind, Adam Nicolson''s Life between the Tides, and Ash Davidson''s Damnation Spring. - An appreciation for Augustine''s mother, Monica - Short sketches by Clarice Lispector of her father and son Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face. Each issue includes in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art.

Popular culture remembers the settling of the Midwest as a golden era of unbounded opportunity, a time when every farm was a family farm and every farmer glowed with health. Pioneers in nineteenth-century Iowa, however, had to battle a formidable host of diseases during this golden eraOComalaria was endemic, smallpox and dysentery occurred in widespread epidemics, and typhoid, cholera, scarlet fever, and diphtheria had their seasons. Physicians in the growing Hawkeye State had little of the status and skill they command today, and herbalists, hydropaths, eclectics, Thomsonians, and homeopaths competed with purveyors of home remedies and patent medicines for their services. The druggists of pioneer Iowa were artisan producers who compounded and prescribed botanical and chemical medicines, sold a variety of other merchandise from perfumes to paints, and dispensed the secret concoctions known as patent medicines, guaranteed to cure any condition, however alarming. In this compelling study, Lee Anderson tells the story of these early pharmacists and their hard-fought quest to legitimize their profession. While he confronts the politics of professionalism and the purpose of the pharmaceutical science and education, he also illuminates the mutual role of physicians and pharmacists in frontier health care. With skill and humor, Anderson recreates an exciting time in midwestern history and provides insights into national issues of professionalism in medicine. His study will appeal to scholars in the history of medicine, pharmacy, and professionalism and to everyone interested in the history of the Midwest."

Describes the life of a beaver and the methods he uses to dam streams and build himself a lodge.

Acclaimed around the world and a national best-seller, this is the definitive work on Che Guevara, the dashing rebel whose epic dream was to end poverty and injustice in Latin America and the developing world through armed revolution. Jon Lee Anderson''s biography traces Che''s extraordinary life, from his comfortable Argentine upbringing to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution, from the halls of power in Castro''s government to his failed campaign in the Congo and assassination in the Bolivian jungle. Anderson has had unprecedented access to the personal archives maintained by Guevara''s widow and carefully guarded Cuban government documents. He has conducted extensive interviews with Che''s comrades--some of whom speak here for the first time--and with the CIA men and Bolivian officers who hunted him down. Anderson tells the story of where Guevara''s body was buried, which led to the exhumation and state burial of the bones. Many of the details of Che''s life have long been cloaked in secrecy and intrigue. Meticulously researched and full of exclusive information, Che Guevara illuminates as never before this mythic figure who embodied the high-water mark of revolutionary communism as a force in history.

Na biografia definitiva de uma das figuras mais influentes, polêmicas e carismáticas do século XX, Jon Lee Anderson transcende o mito Che Guevara e retrata com riqueza de detalhes todas as faces de um ser humano complexo. Em 1992, Jon Lee Anderson se mudou para Havana, procurando respostas sobre a vida da personalidade histórica que lhe instigava curiosidade desde os anos 1980 — Che Guevara. O jornalista viveu na capital cubana por quase três anos, período em que teve acesso a arquivos pessoais mantidos pela viúva do líder guerrilheiro. Anderson viajou também para a Argentina, onde passou meses com os amigos de infância de Che, entrevistou seus companheiros de luta em Cuba, no Congo e na Bolívia, e conversou com personagens dos dois lados da Guerra Fria, em Moscou e na CIA. O resultado de extensa pesquisa é a saga épica de uma vida extraordinária, narrada com fluidez e imparcialidade. Publicado originalmente em 1997 e eleito o livro do ano pelo New York Times, a biografia traz informações que durante muito tempo permaneceram em sigilo. Entre outros feitos, Anderson revela como o corpo de Che foi escondido depois de seu assassinato na selva boliviana, em 1967, e recuperado, trinta anos depois, para ser levado a Cuba e enterrado no local da batalha mais célebre do revolucionário argentino. Do nascimento de Ernesto Guevara de la Serna em Rosário até sua morte em La Higuera, esta aclamada biografia reconstitui com meticulosidade a tumultuada busca de um sonho utópico: unir a América Latina e o mundo desenvolvido por meio da revolução armada para acabar de uma vez por todas com a pobreza e a injustiça. "Um relato magistral e fascinante sobre o guerrilheiro mais célebre da América Latina. Sem dúvida a melhor biografia sobre Che Guevara publicada até hoje — um monumento à altura do sonhador utópico, heroico mas tragicamente frustrado." — Sunday Times

"El dictador, los demonios y otras crónicas" es una colección de reportajes, publicados previamente en la revista "The New Yorker" y compilados expresamente para Anagrama, sobre personajes y paisajes políticos de España y Latinoamérica que no sólo reflejan un oficio y una capacidad de síntesis depurados por el tiempo y la experiencia, sino que pueden proponerse como modelos de un estilo periodístico y una forma de contar el presente. Por estas páginas desfilan el rey Juan Carlos en la España de los bandazos, Augusto Pinochet antes de saber lo que le preparaba el juez Baltasar Garzón, un solitario y espectacular Hugo Chávez en una Venezuela plagada de contrastes y miseria, el decrépito Fidel Castro en una Cuba que no parece tener salida satisfactoria para nadie, García Márquez de genial conspirador en el polvorín colombiano, los restos de Federico García Lorca en un tira y afloja entre lo político y lo sentimental, y el asombroso paisaje de las favelas brasileñas, donde florece la extraña mística del delito entre la corrupción administrativa y la miseria. Aunando una larga tradición de la semblanza crítica fundada por los clásicos grecolatinos y el periodismo en directo en la línea de John Reed y George Orwell, Jon Lee Anderson pinta retratos que se caracterizan por la sencillez y concisión de las descripciones, la agudeza política de los comentarios, el hábil trazado de los contextos, la atención por el detalle iluminador y la concepción literaria del discurso periodístico. Su método de investigación es rigurosamente empírico, busca el testimonio recto de los protagonistas y el lugar exacto de los hechos, comprueba el rumor y procura cotejar los temas polémicos con diversos interlocutores. En este sentido, Anderson tiene un olfato especial para localizar testigos representativos, aunque a costa de sudores y con multitud de contratiempos técnicos, como él mismo ha contado en entrevistas y seminarios sobre periodismo.

Reunimos en este segundo volumen los mejores textos de Jon Lee Anderson, testigo de excepción de los acontecimientos cruciales de las últimas décadas y uno de los referentes mundiales en la escritura de perfiles periodísticos. «El tópico más rancio afirma que los periodistas son testigos de los acontecimientos; puede parecer a casi todos un anacronismo y acaso, en efecto, un solecismo moral. Pero el cometido del periodismo bien hecho consiste ciertamente en ser un testigo y no un fiscal; y en ese sentido Anderson, a diferencia de innumerables colegas, se ha mantenido fiel a su vocación». David Rieff Testigo de excepción de los acontecimientos cruciales de finales del siglo xx y principios del xxi y un referente mundial en el arte del perfil periodístico, Jon Lee Anderson es el célebre reportero de The New Yorker cuyas crónicas fundamentales reunimos por primera vez, en dos volúmenes, en el sello Debate. En este segundo tomo aparecen algunas de las figuras más relevantes, y en ocasiones controvertidas del último medio siglo desde el Che Guevara hasta Gabriel Boric, pasando por el rey Juan Carlos I, Gabriel García Márquez, Augusto Pinochet o Muamar el Gadafi , así como otro tema esencial en la obra de Anderson: el impacto del hombre en la naturaleza. Crónicas en su mayoría inéditas en español y que son pequeñas obras de arte. Considerado el heredero natural de Ryszard Kapuciski, los reportajes y perfiles de Jon Lee Anderson, además de mostrar una brillante dimensión literaria, son un fascinante reflejo del clima sociopolítico de nuestra época, pero también el valioso testimonio de un periodista comprometido con la verdad y dispuesto a participar en la historia.
