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.

Kandahar, a city of Pashtuns noted for their gaiety, so to speak, where Mullah Omar had made his final headquarters, has traditions of men in high-heeled sandals, with make-up of kohl and painted nails like sultry silent-movie stars. The Magnum photographer Thomas Dworzak, on war assignment for The New Yorker, discovered these photographs of the Taliban days after they had fled the city. They hung among portraits of Bruce Lee, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ahmed Shah Massoud, their faces retouched by the artful brushwork of the photographer. Thomas Dworzak, originally from Koetzting, Bavaria Forest, began freelancing in Eastern Europe and the Middle East in 1991. Three years later he was based in Tbilisi, Georgia, covering the Caucasus and Chechnya.

In the American West, trappers, miners, and farmers often preceded the formal institutions of government and therefore had to invent their own institutional framework. Early historians like Frederick Jackson Turner and Walter Prescott Webb found heroes in this romantic frontier. Modern historians, however, are challenging the traditional histories, arguing that the history of the West is one of natural resource waste, minority exploitation, and political manipulation by a powerful elite. This book challenges many conclusions from both schools in a framework that considers Western history as an episode in the evolution of property rights. The authors in this volume provide a new way of thinking about the West that relies neither on heroes nor villains but argues that economics and politics shaped the institutional environment of the American West.

Our bodies matter. Christians today sometimes forget this, dangerously ignoring the importance of their physical selves when it comes to technology, sexuality, worship, and even death. Anderson''s book will help readers learn what the Bible says about our bodies and grow to appreciate the importance of embodiment in our spiritual lives. It will also explore generational differences when it comes to how we perceive and use our bodies. Just as Christ''s body was crucial to our salvation, our own bodies are an important part of the complete Christian life.

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.

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.

His house was located just across from the golf course and he''d been watching the two guys and a girl as they were just standing there and talking. He''d fallen asleep leaning on his hands at the window before anything really interesting started, and then he had to go relieve himself but forgot to look again when he returned to the living room. Too bad... He might have been of help.

ZOCOR (simvastatin) tablet is used together with diet, weight-loss, and exercise to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and to decrease the chance that heart surgery will be needed in people who have heart disease or who are at risk of developing heart disease. ZOCOR is also used to decrease the amount of fatty substances such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (''''bad cholesterol'''') and triglycerides in the blood and to increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (''''good cholesterol'''') in the blood. ZOCOR may also be used to decrease the amount of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood in children and teenagers 10 to 17 years of age who have familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally). Simvastatin is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body.
