Durante más de cincuenta años de práctica médica, Carlos Juan Antonio Toro Torres entendió que la enfermedad no se explica únicamente desde el cuerpo. Cada síntoma tiene detrás una historia, un modo de vivir, una emocion y una relacion que influyen en el sufrimiento tanto como cualquierproceso biologico. De esa comprension nace la medicina del alma: una forma de atender al ser humano completo. Este libro recoge ese recorrido. Expone como sanar desde la conciencia, como prepararnos para los momentos de vulnerabilidad y como tratarnos con autocompasion en la salud, en la enfermedad y en el final de la vida. Integra lo aprendido en el consultorio con el trabajo interior que el autorha realizado durante decadas, articulando espiritu, mente, emociones y cuerpo como dimensiones inseparables.A traves de experiencias clinicas, reflexiones y enseñanzas adquiridas en el acompañamiento a pacientes, el autor muestra que vivir, enfermar y morir forman parte de un mismo proceso, y que comprenderlo permite tomar decisiones mas claras, aliviar el sufrimiento y acompañar a quienes amamos con mayor presencia. Medicina del alma es un legado para quienes buscan profundidad en el cuidado de la salud y sentido en los ciclos de la vida. Un libro para leer con calma y permitir que su propuesta se acomode en la propia experiencia.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian

A revealing and controversial exposé of international white-collar crime.Alexander Lebedev continues his investigation of banksters (gangster-bankers) scams which he started in his autobiographical book, Hunt the Banker.

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each others religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.

This book contains 71 deeply annotated chess victories of Tigran Petrosian (World Champion from 1963 to 1969) against the leading players of his day, some of which are in print for the first time. The authors authoritative but accessible language makes it a good read for the amateur as well as a cast-iron network of interlocking variations to satisfy the professionals. Petrosian was underrated as world champion in his day (many of his achievements were drowned out by the furore surrounding Bobby Fischer) but he is now being critically reappraised Garry Kasparov paid fulsome tribute to him at a recent London lecture. This insightful book aims to restore him to his rightful position in the pantheon of chess greats.
