En las tranquilas calles de la pintoresca ciudad de Willowbrook, la vida cotidiana transcurre apaciblemente. Sin embargo, tras las fachadas de las casas encantadoras y los parques infantiles llenos de risas, se esconde un enigma que ha sumido a la comunidad en un estado de inquietud y miedo. Los juguetes, compañeros entrañables de los niños y fuente de alegría para muchos, han comenzado a desaparecer de manera misteriosa y perturbadora. En esta ciudad, donde las sombras de los árboles parecen ocultar secretos insondables, surge un caso que dejará perplejos a los habitantes y desconcertados a los investigadores. Los juguetes, desde muñecas hasta autos de juguete y juegos de mesa, han desaparecido sin dejar rastro, como si fueran absorbidos por la oscuridad de la noche. El miedo se cierne sobre Willowbrook, y los padres vigilan a sus hijos con una aprensión que no se había sentido antes. La pregunta en la mente de todos es la misma: ¿quién o qué está detrás de estas misteriosas desapariciones? Las autoridades locales se han quedado perplejas, sin pistas ni explicaciones lógicas para los sucesos extraños que han comenzado a afectar la idílica vida de la ciudad. Es en este clima de incertidumbre y ansiedad que surge nuestro relato. Un grupo inusual de personajes se unirá para desentrañar el misterio de los juguetes desaparecidos. Entre ellos se encuentra el detective retirado Thomas Grant, un hombre de aguda intuición y experiencia en casos enigmáticos; Emily Parker, una intrépida periodista local decidida a descubrir la verdad detrás de los eventos perturbadores; y Alex Harper, un niño prodigio apasionado por los rompecabezas y los enigmas, cuya curiosidad lo lleva a aventurarse en territorios inexplorados. A medida que estos personajes se sumergen en la investigación, se dan cuenta de que hay fuerzas desconocidas en juego, fuerzas que desafían la lógica y la explicación racional. La ciudad se convierte en un escenario tenso y lleno de suspense, donde cada sombra parece esconder un secreto y cada juguete perdido es una pieza del rompecabezas que deben resolver. En El Misterioso Caso de los Juguetes Desaparecidos, los lectores serán llevados a un viaje emocionante y enigmático, donde la verdad está envuelta en sombras y cada página revela nuevos giros y sorpresas. ¿Podrán nuestros valientes investigadores descubrir quién está detrás de las desapariciones de juguetes? ¿Podrán desentrañar el enigma antes de que sea demasiado tarde? Acompáñenos mientras nos sumergimos en este misterio intrigante y descubrimos los secretos ocultos en el corazón de Willowbrook. La verdad aguarda en la penumbra, lista para ser revelada a aquellos lo suficientemente valientes para buscarla.

Eve is an eighteen-year-old spitfire in the Garden of Eden with an inverted moral compass and a comedically twisted view of the world. After having discovered a great truth about the universe from Satan, who calls himself Serpent, she decides to sneak into higher realms of consciousness and wants him to join her. He agrees, but part of the deal is that Eve reincarnates on Earth to perform a task for him first. After this last hurrah, which takes place in the ancient colony of Atlantis, he’ll gladly join her. However, her assignment ends up causing all of human civilization a tremendous amount of suffering. Despite fulfilling her end of the bargain, Serpent reneges on his promise. Feeling betrayed, Eve reincarnates on Earth once again, only this time seeking to serve God rather than Serpent. By this point on Earth, a powerful secret society has taken control of the world, and Eve will need the help of her human father to expose the group by hacking into worldwide media conglomerates. She should be cautious, though, because the people she has hurt in the past will show up now to torment her. Will she succeed in trying to expose the secret society? And will she ever be able to fully abandon Serpent, or will she seek vengeance against him for tricking her? [Contains some graphic violence, no romance].

To succeed, the business of the future must have soul. Building Corporate Soul answers the most pressing questions for leaders today: How do I build and sustain a human-centric performance culture? At a time when 10,000 baby boomers retire every day, 79% of employees quit their jobs because they don't feel appreciated at their workplace, and 69% of millennials see a lack of potential for leadership development in their companies, Building Corporate Soul sets out to transform the performance and value of organizations—and to make soulless companies a thing of the past. Ralf Specht’s unique framework, The Soul System™, aligns value-creating employee behaviors with corporate strategy through shared understanding and shared purpose. Based on the latest research and real-life cases, this actionable framework shows how to build a culture at the workplace that is both human centric and success driven. Specht proves that leadership behaviors that build soul are synonymous with the behaviors that build success. His performance ranking, The Soul Index, confirms that companies that operate within this framework outperform their peers by a factor of 2.6 compared with Dow Jones over 5 years. Building Corporate Soul helps leaders at every level move beyond their current thinking and create an environment in which business goals are well understood and corporations walk their talk. Both this shared understanding and the subsequent shared behavior are critical to turn a company´s purpose into a real means to an end: superior success and a truly motivated workforce that is proud of its role inside the organization and of its impact on the local community and society overall. You'll see how companies of all sizes (startups and legacy corporations) have made this happen. You'll also learn how every leader, no matter the industry, can ignite (or re-ignite) the corporate soul in their firm. Ralf Specht is a visionary business leader and creator of the Soul System™, a framework that aligns value-creating employee action with broader corporate strategy through shared understanding and shared purpose. As a founding partner of Spark44, he was the architect of an innovative, industry-first joint venture with Jaguar Land Rover, which grew under his leadership to a global revenue of $100+m and 1,200 employees before it joined forces with Accenture Interactive in 2021. Previously, he consulted with global companies and brands for more than two decades with McCann Erickson. Besides Building Corporate Soul: Powering Culture & Success with the Soul System™, he is the author of the forthcoming book Beyond the Startup: Sparking Operational Innovations for Global Growth.

Now in its twentieth edition, the MOONLIGHT CHRONICLES has brought Dan's creed of "truth, beauty, and really big sabbaticals from the convention of life" to thousands across the countryWith such a following, Dan figured it was time to collect his offbeat observations into book form in hopes of inspiring other would-be journal writers to take pen, camera, and brush in hand. As Dan is fond of noting "Seems there's tons of empty journal books, but not too many on how to fill 'em up!" In HOW TO MAKE A JOURNAL, Dan answers the call, teaching readers how to tap into those pent-up creative juices and collect their life experiences on paper.

With a Foreword by José David Saldívar Since its first publication in Spanish nearly a decade ago, Julio Ramos’s Desenucuentros de la modernidad en America Latina por el siglo XIX has been recognized as one of the most important studies of modernity in the western hemisphere. Available for the first time in English—and now published with new material—Ramos’s study not only offers an analysis of the complex relationships between history, literature, and nation-building in the modern Latin American context but also takes crucial steps toward the development of a truly comparative inter-American cultural criticism. With his focus on the nineteenth century, Ramos begins his genealogy of an emerging Latin Americanism with an examination of Argentinean Domingo Sarmiento and Chilean Andrés Bello, representing the “enlightened letrados” of tradition. In contrast to these “lettered men,” he turns to Cuban journalist, revolutionary, and poet José Martí, who, Ramos suggests, inaugurated a new kind of intellectual subject for the Americas. Though tracing Latin American modernity in general, it is the analysis of Martí—particularly his work in the United States—that becomes the focal point of Ramos’s study. Martí’s confrontation with the unequal modernization of the New World, the dependent status of Latin America, and the contrast between Latin America’s culture of elites and the northern mass culture of commodification are, for Ramos, key elements in understanding the complex Latin American experience of modernity. Including two new chapters written for this edition, as well as translations of three of Martí’s most important works, Divergent Modernities will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand development and modernity across the Americas.
