Melodías dispersas

Juan Francisco, Pancho, o más bien John es papá de Julie. En innumerables ocasiones ha olvidado comprarle un regalo de cumpleaños o ir a buscarla cuando prometió hacerlo. También pierde su teléfono constantemente. Esta forma de actuar, aparentemente distraida y descuidada, persiste en su vida.  Enfrentarse ahora a la adolescencia de Julie y a la próxima reunión con sus ex compañeros del St. Boring, veinticinco años después, lo llevarán a reflexionar de qué manera su comportamiento, presente y pasado, conducen su vida. Sin embargo, John no es el único a quien el TDAH le ha cruzado la vida. Otros tantos tienen que enfrentarse todos los días a este trastorno que muy pocos conocemos y comprendernos. A través de Melodías dispersas, Norma Echavarria, médica, psiquiatra con más de 20 años de experiencia desarrolla en clave de novela, y con la música del cuarteto de Liverpool de fondo, las distintas caras que puede tener el Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad, así como sus posibilidades de tratamiento.
Norma Echavarria

Soy una mujer modelo 1959. Una generación bisagra en la historia de las mujeres. Madre de cinco hijos, con habilidades de ama de casa, cocinando comida casera, tejiendo sweaters y cosiendo disfraces, como lo hizo mi madre.Me recibí de médica, luego especializándome como ginecóloga y obstetra, me di cuenta que amaba explorar mas las historias de las personas que realizar exámenes mamarios. Y allí me enamoré de la psiquiatria, y desde entonces es que dedico mi vida a trabajar con pacientes, mientras jamás abandoné mi placer de cocinar pan casero.Soy un híbrido de esa generación que debía mantener ambos roles.. Doy gracias a mis padres porque me gusta el combo.Dedicada a trabajar por el Trastorno por Deficit de Atención e hiperactividad desde 1996, encontré la posibilidad de trabajar en lo que mas me gusta. Ayudar a personas y familias enteras a darse cuenta que no están solos.Siempre que pude escribí, hasta que mi blog fue mi refugio. Adultos desorganizados en apuros...y allí volqué mi manera de pensar cómo relatar historias, o brindar mis puntos de vista.?Doy gracias a Dios que el sol sigue brillando para mí. Más cuando yo me di cuenta que soy una adediana*, de pura cepa.??Vivo con mis hijos menores, y ellos ya también están buscando su nuevo rumbo. Feliz de que lo tengan tan claro, cuando muchos jóvenes que viven tropezando porque tienen TDAH y no lo saben, no tienen esa oportunidad.El camino ha comenzado ahora mas en serio que antes. Ojalá este sea el primero de muchos libros.Mis padres son mis mentores, a los 90 y 93 años. Que dichosa soy por saberlos cerca.A todos los padres, ojalá puedan entender que sus hijos con TDAH no es que no quieren, NO PUEDEN.Norma [email protected]* adediana= asi me gusta referirme a quienes padecemos TDAH, en ingles ADD.

When Nothing Is Impossible.

Impossible is nothing. With that as his motto, Spanish surgeon Diego González Rivas takes up his fight against cancer and pain. Using his revolutionary technique, Uniportal VATS, he can remove the most complicated tumors from the lungs through a single incision, sometimes with only local anesthetic, sending his patients home a mere 48 hours after surgery. Doctor González Rivas (A Coruña, 1974) dislikes calling himself brave, preferring instead to point to his experience. Every year alone, he performs more than 800 major surgeries around the globe, half of them at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital. In his quest to teach his technique to as many surgeons as possible, he travels the world at such an intense pace, that on many mornings he awakes not knowing where he is. The first to open a surgery channel on You Tube, he is also one of the most active doctors in disseminating surgical advances on social media

El viaje del cetrero

Un viaje que se presenta aparentemente tranquilo en busca de un claro objetivo: dedicarse a la cetrería; pero la fatal casualidad se cruza en el camino del protagonista y se ve inmerso en la resolución de un caso, que le lleva a vivir situaciones no exentas de peligro, aventuras diversas y momentos de gran intensidad, en los que la naturaleza, la fauna, las rapaces y la cetrería siempre están presentes y acaban guiando su destino.El autor nos sumerge en una trepidante historia de ficción que nos transporta a otras épocas donde, con un lenguaje muy ameno y gran pasión, nos instruye en reales y diversas técnicas cetreras fruto de su propia experiencia, a la vez que nos atrapa en una sucesión de acontecimientos con los que consigue mantener nuestro interés al máximo hasta el desenlace final.Como en su anterior novela de la saga Friso, el aprendiz de cetrero, con esta obra, Ángel Remón, vuelve a conseguir magistralmente sus dos objetivos principales: instruir y entretener.   Pedidos contra reembolso (sólo España): [email protected]  Tel- 616644007

LOVE LETTERS FROM A WIDOWER. THE MYSTERY OF SOUL MATES IN [...]

Theologians maintain that just the presence of a feeling of God in Man's heart, is, in itself, a proof of His existence. Since –as they assure us- that feeling is innate, it’s actually a reminiscence. Well, if it’s as they say, Blanca, then, along with a feeling of God (and, as I hope to demonstrate during the course of these letters, closely bound to it), there exists in Man's heart another innate feeling of no less power. The feeling of the twin soul, of the one creature who, out of every other, is destined to us, for it’s the other half that will us complete us." Thus begins one of the letters of this epistolary essay in which the author undertakes an exhaustive tracing of the theory of soul mates in the history of Religion and Philosophy, of Literature and Occult Sciences, showing the preeminent place that in the worldview of the ancient sages occupied this enigmatic feeling that we know today with the name of romantic love.  
Xavier Perez-Pons

Let me introduce myself. I am the author of this somewhat strange book. But, above all, I hope to live up to what, to my amazement, once, in a museum, a child unknown to me told me. He said looking into my eyes: "You are good". Obviously, the image of this presentation is not my portrait. But I am attracted by the expression, the attitude, the way of being that I guess behind the half-closed eyelids of this man. He seems a good man. It will not hurt to add that this painting by Illex Beller is entitled "Itza the fool", and portrays the fool of the town of... It does not matter: of one of those hundreds of villages in Eastern Europe and Russia that were mostly populated by poor Jews (in their Yiddish language those villages are called shtetls: apparently an unpronounceable word, but it sounds more or less like "shtatles"). In general, people tend to despise fools. I, conversely, admire them. Because, in their innocence, fools resemble children, who possess a sixth sense for the things of the Other World -that back room of the Universe. And, since at my age I can not afford to consider myself a child, I am excited to think that I can still count myself among the fools. In fact, I do a lot of nonsense! Take this book for example: the investment of so many years of my life researching in depth to write a extensive treatise on the ancient theory of twin souls without expecting anything in return (I destine my eventual benefits entirely for Unicef). Who would think! It is foolish, right Thank you: you do me an honor.Let me add that, since I was a child, I have a disease called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Although in my childhood and youth it made me suffer a lot, this illness, seen in perspective, has been a blessing for me: I think it has made me a better person. My obsessions are very varied. But the compulsion with which I deceive them has always been the same: reading. I am a compulsive reader. Reading, I get rid of my obsessions, I evade myself. Shortly after entering the University, I won a literary contest called by a television channel, and I began to earn a living as a scriptwriter. Since I was in love, the theme of soul mates emerged as a backdrop for a feature film project. I started reading about it. The subject gave much more of itself than I imagined. And so, I went deeper and deeper into the bookish world of ancient wisdom. Although the disciplines in which I was digging were very diverse, for more than ten years my compulsion of reading took a well defined course. Little by little, in the manner of a giant puzzle (of, say, a landscape) whose innumerable pieces slowly fit together, a certain landscape gradually took shape in my head. Well, this book is the detailed description of that landscape.

NOVA Tax Research Series - Taxation and Sustainability

Welcome to the second edition of the NOVA Tax Research Series. This edition, theme-based Taxation and Sustainability, reflects our continuous commitment to bringing the spotlight on the necessity to think, create, interpret, and apply a humanistic lens to taxation. Integrating principles of sustainable development within our taxation research agenda and work demonstrates a path towards that humanization and reflects that our efforts are rooted in the profound belief that taxation is not merely a financial tool but a fundamental piece on the possibility to create global sustainable development.

Refused: A Steampunk Novel

If you could travel back in time, what would you change? LeGram, formerly known as London, is a desolated city ruled by the Post-End-Of-Times Absolutionist Church, a creed with the hopeless claim that every human should sacrifice their own lives to decrease the population, poverty, and pollution. Refusing is considered a major crime. This is how Graham, one of the greatest minds of his era, came up with a solution for the world's problems before something went wrong and he vanished. Anya travels from a distant land, carrying a secret to complete what Graham started. Together with LeClerc, his apprentice, Mith, LeGram's most wanted thief, and Blader, a knife-throwing hunter, they are about to embark on an adventure that could either solve all the world's problems or break space-time as we know it. SEE YOU IN A BRIGHTER PRESENT!

A Donkey’s Diary: Animal Farm Reloaded

Seventy-five years after the publication of Orwell’s satirical fable, it’s story time again! So, welcome to the Free World where everyone will live happily ever after… right? SYNOPSIS A team of future scientists is determined to find out what caused a previous mass extinction of species when they discover evidence that may provide an answer to what caused the event. The ancient finds include several scriptures, among them a story called Animal Farm which tells the tale of the overthrowing of a farm by animals. This story is continued in another scripture titled Animal Farming which is told from the perspective of the donkey Benjamin, who escapes the farm in fear of persecution by its new rulers. At first, Benjamin is impressed by the high living standards on his new host farm but soon starts developing ethical concerns when a huge hen cage is installed. Throughout the story he meets a series of characters representing renowned Western philosophers who have shaped the basis of today’s moral justification for intensive animal farming methods. While they try their best to convince Benjamin of its legitimacy, the story’s tragic ending leaves the future scientists both surprised and disturbed to have found a major clue as to what seems to have caused the almost-extinction of all life on Earth. Similar to its prequel, A Donkey’s Diary is a satirical fable about humans and other animals. The story represents how food production – and with it the human-animal relationship – has changed over the course of the past three Industrial Revolutions and highlights which ancient arguments were (and still are) used to justify intensive farming practices. It invites the reader to ponder animals, food, money, work, intelligence, the current mass extinction and much more.
