Volver Al Amor

Book Description

¿Queríamos llegar a ser, en realidad, las personas en que nos hemos convertido? ¿Habíamos imaginado para nosotros las tensiones a las que nos sometemos cada día?

Volver al amor es una guía para un viaje espiritual, para aceptar el amor que nos hemos estado negando y alcanzar la paz interior. Y es también un manual para acercar lo milagroso a los problemas de cada día: el dinero, los trastornos de salud, las relaciones personales.

Pero, ¿cómo se nos puede proponer un mundo configurado por el amor e interpretado con el sentimiento de lo portentoso sin caer en el adoctrinamiento de los lenguajes religiosos?

Marianne Williamson nos responde que su libro, tal como hace Un curso de milagros, la obra que ella glosa y que constituye un texto clave de la espiritualidad de nuestro tiempo, "usa la terminología cristiana tradicional pero de una manera poco tradicional: palabras como Cristo, Espíritu Santo, Salvación, expiación, Jesús y otras se usan según su significación psicológica más bien que religiosa".

Más allá de las palabras, Volver al amor nos exhorta a recrear el contexto en el que se producen los milagros.

Book Description

Here is the dramatic story of the American mission to shoot Japan's greatest admiral out of the sky, told by the award-winning author of the Doolittle Raid. On April 18, 1943, against overwhelming odds, Yamamoto's plane was shot down. Following the mission, a controversy arose: Which pilot actually shot down Yamamoto's plane? C.V. Glines turns his formidable research skills on this extraordinary tale of adventure and detection. This updated edition contains the official 1993 Air Force decision on this controversy.

Inside look behind Yamamoto's death........2005-05-30

I found this book to be well written and well researched. It pretty obvious that the author went through a great deal of trouble to get the complete picture behind the operation which caused the death of Japanese Admiral Yamamoto. I think this book easily surpassed the dated effort by Burke Davis and gives credit where credit is due. In some ways, Glines' effort create an almost soap-opera like situation as to dealing with who really shot down the Japanese admiral.

While great credit goes to the Americans who planned this operation, I can't help but to realized in hindsight what a great blunder this operation was in our effort to win the war against Japan. Admiral Yamamoto was a known quality to the American intelligence, his moves, mannerism, his style of operation were well known to us. As popular as he was to the Japanese troops, he was also popular with the American intelligence who was understanding him better as the time went on. Yamamoto as a naval commander was grossly overrated. His only real victory since the war began was at Pearl Harbor and even that, he didn't do a very good job. Yamamoto lost every battle and campaign since then. Yamamoto's death was unfortunate since he was replaced by series of unknown Japanese admirals and their varies abilities. And that ironically helped prolonged the war in the Pacific.

This was probably an operation that should have never taken place, no more then we wanted Hitler dead in Europe. Hitler alive was an asset to the Allies, Yamamoto alive was an asset to the Americans. It may have been good for American morale and bad for Japanese morale but more of them died for it in the long run.

Good book, great researching and highly readable material. For now, the definite book on the subject. It could used a little more insightful perception of the consequences of this operation instead of glorifying its success. This operation in hindsight, was not a good thing for the Americans.

Attack on Yamamoto, by C. V. Glines (Aug. 4, 2001).......2001-08-05

Glines reports on every aspect of the Yamamoto mission in painstaking detail, particularly on the decades-long debate regarding who actually shot down the admiral's plane. Indeed, barely half of the book covers the mission's planning and execution; the rest consists of in-depth analysis of every conceivable piece of information and speculation on the buring question as to who should get credit for the kill. If the reader just wants a comprehensive, overall history of the mission and its background, there may be better choices. "Get Yamamoto," by Burke Davis fills that bill nicely. But if you want a book that is thorough to the last possible detail with regard to the post-mission controversy, this is the one.

Attack On Yamamoto.......2001-03-19

The attack on Yamamoto is considered to be one of the finest acheivements and most fascinating epsiodes of World War II. Caroll Glines brings the authoritative and final word on the events leading up to and the subsequent downing of the Admiral's plane over Bougainville Island.

This book is a focus on the controversy that has erupted over who officially shot down Yamamoto. Going against what the Official Military Record says about who shot down Yamamoto, Glines, through interviews, letters, reports, testimonies, and expert analysis, brings a balanced approach to the controversy. Glines examines all the evidence, and provides that evidence so the reader may decide for himself who they believe actually shot down Yamamoto, although Glines clearly favors one side of the argument.

Attack on Yamamoto also contains useful discussions into the intelligence and code-breaking capabilities of the US during World War II, and it portrays the desperations and absolute necessity of accomplishing this mission and it's overall impact on the Japanese Fleet's ability to continue fighting.

Book Description

Yamamoto is an exhaustively researched and compelling biography of the Japanese Naval genius and war hero Isoroku Yamamoto, "the Architect of the Pacific War." Drawing on a wealth of untapped Japanese sources, noted historian Edwin P. Hoyt demonstrates both his flair for dramatic battle accounts and his penetrating eye for personal and political motivation. He offers a thorough and engaging portrait of the dauntless Admiral and, from that vantage point, provides a revealing new view of the events of World War II.

Though he stood a mere five feet three inches tall, Admiral Yamamoto rose to become one of the towering figures of the twentieth century. This biography details his life from his youth in Nagaoka and his early military successes, to the dynamic leader's orchestration of the infamous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, his subsequent naval victories, and his eventual assassination by American fighter planes in the Solomon Islands at the order of President Roosevelt himself.

Customer Reviews:

The life and death of Admiral Yamamoto........2003-11-24

Hoyt does a alright job detailing the life of Admiral Yamamoto.
I felt the book dragged at points, but the author does a satisfactory job detailing the life of the person who planned the Pearl Harbor attack. Hoyt kept strictly to the professional life of the Admiral, and only made passing references to the Admiral's family, passion for geishas, and gambling. I think you don't get the full story of Yamamoto's success, unless you delve into the personal life. Hoyt doesn't do this, he strictly keeps to the military aspect of the Admiral's life, like his biography of Tojo. I think you miss something here.
Another aspect missing from the Admiral's life in his killing by American flyers. The killing is briefly detailed in a chapter, so again an interesting aspect of Yamamoto's life is left out. As I stated, the book could have been more interesting if it included more on his life, rather than the focus on the military aspect.

Book Description

At 7:53 a.m., December 7, 1941, America's national consciousness and confidence were rocked as the first wave of Japanese warplanes took aim at the U.S. Naval fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor. As intense and absorbing as a suspense novel, At Dawn We Slept is the unparalleled and exhaustive account of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. It is widely regarded as the definitive assessment of the events surrounding one of the most daring and brilliant naval operations of all time. Through extensive research and interviews with American and Japanese leaders, Gordon W. Prange has written a remarkable historical account of the assault that-sixty years later-America cannot forget.

Customer Reviews:

Thorough.......2007-02-01

The best book, hands down, for information on Pearl Harbor. It will take a long time to read, but is very interesting. Miracle at Midway by the same author is just as good. Excellent pictures and hundreds of references quoted, along with personal interviews. I've seen no other book is as thorough in its approach to the subject.

Slightly outdated ,requires revision.......2006-09-13

Gordon W. Prange studied Pearl Harbor raid ,events surrounding it, for 32 yrs.The outcome is this tome.

Author is vehemently critical on Adm Husban E. Kimmel (c-in-c Pacific Fleet) and Gen Walter C. Short( commander US Land Forces
,Hawaii). Both,according to him ,lacked qualities to command forces. They failed to show imagination,foresight at a time when things were becoming explosive in the Pacific.

This is untrue.Evidence shows upon the receipt of war warning message of Nov27,1941,Adm Kimmel mounted long range reconnaissance missions north of Hawaii to detect the presence of hostile ships within the strike radius of Pearl Harbor.Unfortunately Pacific Command never had sufficent planes at its disposal to maintain an all out vigil.This never would have happened if Washington officials not denuded Pacific fleet of its strength to fight an undeclared war against German U boats in the Atlantic. As a result critical gaps in the aircover remained which Japanese exploited.

Now we know two weeks prior to attack based on intelligence furnished Cdr Joseph J. Rochefort of Hypo(combat intelligence centre of US Navy located in Pearl Harbor naval yard)Kimmel instituted a search for Japanese carrier force operating north of Hawaii.He vectored the Pacific Fleet to an area from where Japanese planned to launch their surprise assault. But his efforts were frustrated. Once White House came to know about Kimmel's manoeuvre he was told to withdraw.This was in line with official order of turning north Pacific into a 'vacant sea'.Strangely this reversal of direction has been ignored by every Pearl Harbor enquiry held from 1941-46.Regretably,neither Kimmel nor his family could recall this sortie and its unfortunate reversal.Yet it provides exculpatory evidence because after the war Kimmel was accused of not conducting precisely this type of search.

Author says Japan's expansionist designs on east Asia made Pacific war inevitable.But it should be admitted ,as latest reaearch shows , regardless of Tokyo's ambitions US hatched a plan to push that nation on the road to war.As war raged in Europe and Africa ,threatning to engulf the world,a memorandum started circulating in the corridors of power in Washington.Written by Arthur H. McCollum (dated Oct7,1940 later called 8-ction memo)head of the Far Eastern Branch of ONI,it advocated a series of measures aimed at engineering a situation wherby Japan is force to attack American ground,naval,air,forces in Hawaaii as well as British and Dutch colonial outposts in the Pacific.With FDR's connivance the plan was put into effect.

Of particular importance to the defence of Hawaii were the crucial bomb plot messages . Its timely dispatch to Short,Kimmel would have stopped the Japanese attack on its tracks.Army radio intercept station MS 5 at Fort Shafter in Oaahu was regularly intercepting messages sent to Tokyo by Japanese spy ring which contained information on the where abouts of Pacific Fleet.Information sent on lowgrade ciphers was broken read by senior officers of US Army ,Naval intelligence.This clearly pointed to a Japanese intent to attack Pearl Harbor. Instead of promptly alerting the C in C PAC Washington officials sat on it.

It is military topbrass esconced in Washington who were unfit to exercise command.Are these men so obtuse,doltish that they failed to perceive the significance of these intercepts?Such an incredulous attitude stands to reason only if they had a hidden agenda.Unfortunately,author does not hold them fully accountable for Pearl Harbor defeat. We find this disturbing pattern emerging regarding other significant Japanese intercepts.Tokyo"s reply to American ultimatum of Nov 26,1941 which came in 14 parts
,decision to present Washington an ultimatum at 1pm EST all of which portended war.

I feel Prange's book , loaded with interesting facts and information, requires revision.History of Pearl harbor raid requires fresh interpretation ;facts which have emerged based on latest research have made this indispensible.Because if we are to believe authors like Stinnet,Toland Washington officials knew the attack was coming and they were awake.

More than 60 years have passed .Pearl Harbor raid and events surrouding it have continued to intrigue and fascinate me.I read Prange's book because I wanted to get different perspective on the subject.

Time marches on ..........2006-05-24

This text should be highly valued in providing a first glance or survey of Pearl Harbor, but given the passage of time since its publication, it is now very dated.

With the release of newer materials, it should no longer be considered "definitive" or even "authoritative." It is also widely known to have several flaws (e.g., lacks the Brigg's interview) and factual errors (e.g., how are blinker lamps and signal flags "heard" in tactical radio circuits).

An Excellent Historian.......2006-02-15

I see that some reviewers were critical of "At Dawn We Slept." It should be noted that, while Dr. Prange did do the research, the book itself was put together after his death by two individuals who had previously been his graduate students. Having known Dr. Prange, I'm certain that had he survived to complete his work, the final product would have been much more satisfactory.

For the SERIOUS student of history.......2005-12-08

This book gives new meaning to the term "exhaustive!" Tons of information concerning the events leading up to, during, and following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. Mr. Prange details the hatching of the plot, who and when the idea was first exchanged and how it came to be put in motion. He lays out the bombing itself and the investigations that followed. It's especially insightful into the thoughts and actions of those in leadership positions, both Japanese and American, although considerably weak on the perspective of the regular people involved. One can only imagine the time and effort and PASSION the author put into researching and compiling this mountain of information.

In all honesty, this is probably a 5 star book, but it was WAY more than I was looking for, and it just wasn't very "readable." I felt bogged down in information that was largely peripheral to my interest in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I found myself at first skimming over chapters detailing the Japanese plotting and American suspicions, and eventually skipping entire chapters looking for the account of what happened that morning of December 7th, 1941. Once I found that section it was interesting (although a bit dry) and certainly reflected the chaos that must have been felt by those experiencing it first-hand. I guess what I was hoping to read was not only a comprehensive description of the events but also richly highlighted with the personal experiences of those who were there and in the middle of it, particularly the regular people whose stories aren't necessarily found in official transcripts from the government investigations.

Book Description

Birds have long held a unique dual role as a model group for scientists and as the focus of birders' passionate quests. Despite centuries of observation, each year brings the discovery and description of several entirely new avian species and hundreds of other taxonomic "splits" or "lumps" based on DNA data. In this arena of continual and increasing taxonomic change, The Clements Checklist presents the most up-to-date and most widely endorsed compendium of the more than 9800 species of birds recognized by the scientific and birding communities. This completely revised sixth edition is current as of 2005 and incorporates hundreds of updates since the last edition. In taxonomic sequence, it provides the scientific and English name of each species and a description of the worldwide range of each species and subspecies.

The most established resource on the taxonomy and biogeography of birds for the world birding community, The Clements Checklist is the official world checklist of the American Birding Association (ABA) and is used as the authoritative reference in the birding competitions and listing activities of this preeminent North American organization for serious birders.

Features of The Clements Checklist include

* comprehensive indexes with all taxa listed by English and scientific names, the latter to subspecies level; * tables and maps showing the world distribution of total bird species and endemics by geographic area, which will be of special interest to conservationists; and * space to record the location and date of individual sightings, providing the user with a personalized ornithological journal.

fabulous book with small faults.......2007-09-30

I will divide in what I find good and not so good of this book .
Good:
the size ,with 28,5 & 22 cm it's a lot bigger than the Howard + Moore and Sibley + Monroe books , which leaves a lot of space to make your notes inside the book ,like I do ,
very good binding and of course the complete listing of all the bird species and subspecies .
Not so good :
the splitting into species goes in my opinion a little to far ,especially by the Australian species .
Bad :
some species of the checklist are also listed as subspecies by species from which they were split ,with a little proofreading this could have been avoided .
For the price amazon is asking ,this book is a must if you want a checklist of the birds of the world .

A big list, not much more.......2007-07-04

Clements is the bible of bird taxonomy, but this book is basically just a list of every species with sublists of each subspecies, and very basic information as to where that subspecies is located. I was disappointed that there is no summary of changes from this 6th edition from the prior edition, although I assume this information will eventually be available on-line somewhere. This is a book that lots of very serious birders know they want, and they should get it. But if you don't know exactly what this book is already and know that you want it, you probably don't.

Book Description

This is the most accurate and comprehensive checklist of birds ever published in a single volume. First published over twenty years ago, The Howard and Moore Checklist was the first such compact list to include not only all the known species in the world but subspecies too. This new edition of the highly respected reference volume has been fully revised and updated throughout. Enlarged significantly, it has benefited from the input of five regional consultants--one for each of the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and the Palaearctic--who have assisted with a thorough and rigorous reassessment of all taxonomic data. This review has led to the inclusion of many valuable new footnotes and references; there are some 4,000 footnotes explaining taxonomic choices, and 3,000 references. All authorities for newly described taxa (whether recognized now or not) are given with full references, for the first time in any checklist.

The introductory sections set forth the rationale of the sequence of families adopted as well as key concepts and new developments in the study of avian taxonomy; discussed are the relative attributes of the Biological Species Concept and the Phylogenic Species Concept, which are critical to our understanding of taxonomy and related issues. Also covered are new developments in taxonomy; those areas where consensus is fast developing are highlighted. Finally, all main entries and synonyms are indexed by English and scientific names--the latter to subspecies level for the first time.

The Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World - A Review.......2006-02-24

This is the only work I have come across so far dealing with all known species as well as subspecies of birds of the world. Each species is listed with all known geographic subspecies (if any) with full scientific name (i.e. including author and year). Also, the editors add a review of the incorrect scientific nomenclature in current use, for example, Psittacula calthorpae is widely spelt as Psittacula calthropae, which is incorrect according to the editors. The last section of the book contains an extensive bibliography (of some 2000 references), so this is useful to anyone who will be reading further about the subject. I highly recommend this work for anyone serious about birds.
