The United States of America is currently operating in a state of dysfunction-dysfunction leads to malfunction. The integrity of the Constitution of the United States-one of several brilliant political ideas established to protect against government tyranny-is gradually becoming weakened due to apathy and ignorance. Although its underlying principles remain relevant since it was written in 1787, its understanding is gradually waning. As a result, individual liberty is gradually being lost; inalienable rights are under constant threat; and the federal government has become the master over the states rather than their servant. Understanding the Constitution for what it really is, compared to what we believe it is, is essential in restoring economic prosperity, individual freedoms, and state independence. A proper interpretation of the U.S. Constitution first requires a proper understanding of its established purpose. In the book, Michael DeLance Thomas provides evidence that the U.S. Constitution is a contract rather than a law, and why this forgotten perspective is essential to restoring our Republic.

Una extraordinaria e ingeniosa novela sobre la narración de historias y lo que pasa con las que nunca contamos, de la querida autora bestseller de En el tiempo de las mariposas y De cómo las muchachas García perdieron el acento. Cementerio de las historias no contadas es la historia de Alma Cruz, una escritora que se acerca al final de su carrera y de su vida, y no quiere terminar como una colega y mentora suya, quien por mucho tiempo luchó por acabar una novela que nunca terminó y casi la enloquece. Después de la muerte de sus ancianos padres, Alma y sus hermanas heredan pequeños terrenos en la República Dominicana. Alma elige el más grande, que ninguna de las otras quieres por su supuesta ubicación indeseable y su mal estado. Se le ocurre la hermosa idea de convertirlo en un lugar para enterrar las historias que no ha compartido: manuscritos, páginas, borradores, revisiones, personajes y vidas sobre las que había trabajado, incluso por años, pero que nunca consiguió terminar. Ahora desea dejarlas descansar en paz. Alma necesita ayuda con su plan, de modo que Brava, una amiga artista que ?lo capta? (a diferencia de sus hermanas), se le une. El cementerio se convierte en un jardín de esculturas: las lápidas que Brava diseña para cada trama. Filomena, una mujer de la localidad y una de las pocas que gana acceso al cementerio contando sus propios relatos al intercomunicador que abre el portón, se convierte en la celadora, y tanto su historia como la su hermana Perla se vuelven centrales en la narración. Esta es una novela en la que las distintas historias desarrollan tentáculos que se entrelazan con los de otras, se insinúan de manera mutua y crean nuevas historias en el proceso. Las circunstancias de la propia vida de Filomena la convierten en la comprensiva escucha que las historias de Alma siguen necesitando mientras prolongan su inmutable deseo de ser contadas, encontrar un sentido y tener un final. A wonderfully inventive novel about telling stories and what happens to the stories we leave untold, from the beloved and bestselling author of In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents.Untold is the story of a writer as she reaches the end of her career and her life. Alma Cruz doesn't want to end up like a fellow author and mentor whose cautionary tale she tells, one who fought so long and hard with a novel she couldn't complete that it threatened her sanity. After the death of Alma's elderly parents, she and her sisters each inherit small plots of land in the Dominican Republic. Alma chooses the biggest one, which none of the others want because of its supposedly undesirable location and its state of dishevelment. She has the beautiful idea of turning it into a place to bury her untold stories, the manuscripts and pages, drafts, revisions?the characters and lives she worked on, sometimes for years, but could never get quite right. To let them rest in peace. Alma needs help with her plan, so Brava, an artist friend who "gets it" (unlike Alma's perplexed sisters), jumps on board?the cemetery becomes a sculpture garden, Brava's work the custom markers for each plot. Filomena, a local and one of the few who gains entry to the cemetery by telling her own stories to an intercom that opens the gate, is soon the caretaker, and her story and the story of her sister Perla become central to the narrative. This is a novel in which stories develop tentacles that entwine other stories, insinuating themselves one to the other, and making new stories in the process.

"Camilo Cienfuegos fue un carismâatico revolucionario que se hizo amigo de Fidel Castro cuando empezaron las protestas para derrocar la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista. Siempre fiel a los ideales de la Revoluciâon, Cienfuegos luchâo al lado de Fidel, Raâul y el Che Guevara, y llegâo a ganarse la simpatâia del pueblo cubano gracias a su humildad y franqueza. Tras ganar varias batallas, la rivalidad entre Camilo y Fidel se fue acentuando y sus ideales se separaron. Las ideas pacifistas de Camilo le ganaron el afecto de la gente, pero la ambiciâon de Castro por el poder absoluto y una secreta envidia de su fiel amigo lo borrarâian de la historia. Cuando, temeroso de los designios de los Castro, Camilo decidiâo irse al exilio, un trâagico accidente lo hizo desaparecer del mapa. Algunos creen que el aviâon en el que viajaba de regreso a la Habana, despuâes de atender los âultimos encargos de Fidel, fue derribado por un misil. Lo cierto es que no quedaron rastros de âel ni de los supuestos testigos del accidente. ÅAlgâun dâia se sabrâa la verdad?"--

But when Zoe arrives on Petra, she finds that her grandmother, Maria, has left her an opulent villa and old family secrets hidden in the mystery of the island. Zoe notices how spry and fit the island's elderly residents are. In fact, no one has miraculously died in over seventy years, and time actually stands still on Petra.

The story of the most infamous massacre of American soldiers in World War Two. An ideal book for people interested in the works of Alex Kershaw, Ben Macintyre and Jonathan Freedland. 'Drive on recklessly, give no quarter and to take no prisoners', these are the words that SS-Obersturmbannführer Joachim Peiper gave to his men on the eve of this notorious event.

When they met a U.S. Army convoy of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion they swiftly surprised the Americans and immobilized the convoy. Realizing that they were out-numbered and out-gunned the soldiers of the 285th Field Artillery surrendered to the Waffen-SS, little did they know that they would be mown down by Nazi machine guns in cold blood shortly afterwards. Charles Whiting reconstructs Kamfgruppe Peiper's drive into the Ardennes during the Battle of Bulge and the subsequent slaughter of eight-four American soldiers in remarkable detail. Through in-depth research and interviews with many who were alive on this fateful day, including Jochen Peiper himself, Whiting uncovers the traumatic sequence of events and its aftermath.
