Math Through the Ages: A Gentle History for Teachers and Others

6 reviews
William P. Berlinghoff, Fernando Q. Gouvea

Oxton House Pub, 2002

An excellent place to start
For math teachers at the high school or college level, or anyone else interested in math, this is an ideal introduction to the history of math. Start with the 55-page overview. Then read any or all of the articles that follow, on a variety of topics such as negative numbers, pi, quadratic equations, the Pythagorean theorem, the history of probability theory, and infinity, all around five pages ...

Buen viaje
Muy util para cualquier viajero, ademas de ser una forma rapida, entretenida y amena de aprender a cerca de diferentes lugares, tanto reconditos como cercanos, peligrosos o culturales. La gran variedad de informacion, fotos e historias me gusto mucho.

Our Latin Table: Celebrations, Recipes, and Memories

Fernando Saralegui

Bulfinch, 2005

Viva Saralegui!~
This is a visually beautiful book which contains recipes that are pleasing both to the eye and the palate. The instructions are clear and easy to follow; the ingredients are easily obtainable (not obscure items that would preclude the recipes from being practical for the at-home cook). The recipes themselves are works of art. The results of my efforts so far have been delicious and extremely ...

The Accidental President of Brazil: A Memoir

14 reviews
Fernando Cardoso

PublicAffairs, 2006

Informative and sincere political memoir
This is an intriguing and informative political memoir, and I would highly recommend it to anybody interested in recent Brazilian history and politics. First of all, let me share the observation that there really don't seem to be many good books on contemporary Brazil. I am a non-specialist when it comes to Brazil and so I've been searching for some journalistic accounts, travelogues, etc. I was ...

Celestina

6 reviews
Fernando De Rojas

Planeta Pub Corp, 1997

Una joya de la literatura europea.
Ante todo resulta incómodo ver valoradas con estrellitas (de 1 a 5) las obras maestras de la literatura universal. La Celestina forma parte de esa veintena de obras maestras que forman lo más destacado de la literatura en cualquier idioma y de cualquier época. Sin lugar a dudas, la más fascinante, moderna, entretenida y asequible de su época. Una auténtica novela (dialogada) moderna. Entre sus ...

La Puta De Babilonia/ the Bitch of Babylonia

Fernando Vallejo

Planeta, 2007

Excelente libro histórico sobre el Catolisismo - A Must Read
Aunque a veces se pasa un poco de vulgar, en su deliciosa irreverencia, Vallejo es indudablemente un genio de nuestra lengua y un autor muy informado sobre los hechos históricos de la Iglesia Católica. Definitivamente este es un texto que debe ser leido por todos los que han sido educados en la cultura Judeo-Crisitana. Una sana, informativa y apropiada denuncia de los crímenes, abusos de poder ...

MIT Press (MA), 1997

Philosophical Exploration of the Fundamental Principles
Disclosing New Worlds is a philosophical exploration of the fundamental principles that underlie entrepreneurial activity, democratic action and the cultivation of solidarity. Through a number of real-life examples, it shows how excellence in these three domains of social activity is brought about-not with a detached, rational deliberative stance, but with intense involvement in the practices of ...

Filipino Style

7 reviews
Rene Javellana, Fernando Nakpil Zialcita, ...

Tuttle Publishing, 2004

Eye Opener
This book is a great book for young Filipino Americans who need some inspiration. As a Filipino American growing up in USA, I never really felt any connection with the Philippines. I was brought up by knowing only the stereotypes that sometimes make a Filipino American want to shy with embarrassment. Stereotypes are everywhere within any culture. By reading this book and flipping through the ...

The Book of Disquiet

13 reviews
Fernando Pessoa

Texas Bookman, 1996

Thinking is absurd
"If i think, it all seems absurd to me; if i feel, it all seems strange; if i desire, he who desires is something inside of me." Sums up the book perfectly. Pessoa explores one of his many personalities. "The Book of Disquiet" explains, in complete depth and faith, the beauty of a lonely, existential, moment by moment life. He explains the beauty that people forget. He explains the world, his ...

Mel Bay Complete Sor Studies for Guitar

8 reviews
Fernando Sor, David Grimes

Mel Bay Publications, 1994

A simple review
This Sor study book is great. Unlike other study books that concentrate on repeats of specific techniques, the study book incorporates studies that are melodic and classical and entertaining. It is a refreshing 'other' way to develop guitar skills. For the pure technical aspects that do not necessarily incorporate song style melodies, I also have Carcassi's complete methods for the guitar. ...

La mujer que brillaba aún más que el sol / The Woman Outshone the Sun

4 reviews
Alejandro Cruz Martinez, Rosalma Zubizarreta-Ada, ...

Children's Book Press (CA), 1991

Beautiful Book
This is a powerful and beautiful retelling of this story. This book is written in Spanish and in English and anyone interested in Latino storytelling will buy this book for their collection. I also highly recommend DRUM, CHAVI, DRUM! by Cuban author, Mayra L. Dole, and TRINOS CHOICE, by Chicana author Diane Bertrand.

Amador

Fernando Savater

Henry Holt & Co, 1994

Where it's at
Although somewhat of a contradiction in terms, this book is a touching discourse from a father to a son on how to live life on his own terms. He gives his perspective on everything lofty that he ahs ever come in contact with but underneath it all is the suggwestion that this is merely his take, and the most important interpretation is a persons' own.

Diego de Landa

Editorial San Fernando, 1987

Landa
During the sixteenth century, the Franciscan friar Diego de Landa put into writing the Relacion de Las Cosas de Yucatan. This work is a translation of the manuscript from 1566 by the renowned scholar William Gates. The Dover edition was originally published as Publication Number 20 by the Maya Society, Baltimore, 1937.

Palinuro of Mexico

4 reviews
Fernando Del Paso

Quartet Books, 1989

drink it... in little gulps
so you think 100 years of solitude was the ultimate latinamerican novel? Not at all .Very well misbegotten, Palinuro de México has remained for a long time in the dark, almost surrepticiously. This is a very "natural" combo of baroque, enciclopedia and just mad characters . Of course it is political, but it is also very funny, almost overwhelmingly so. If you are looking for a taste of ...

Also with a full set of tongue exercises for after the surgery, to get your child up to normal tongue use. We're buying a second copy to donate to our public library for other ...

Fernando Pessoa

Small Pr Distribution, 1992

The portrait of a nation
If you are wondering how the portuguese are like, Pessoa's book will give you a hint. Unfortunately things haven't changed much since the author's time. Once a great nation of sailors and of a great world wide empire, nothing remains but a dull far away memory of what we were. We tend to live to much from the glories of the past without ever thinking of the possible glories of the future. We live ...

4 reviews
Fernando Savater

Henry Holt and Company/Owl Books, 1996

Very readable, clear-thinking, philosophical.
I'm on page 70 now, not quite halfway through this quick-reading little gem. If a book doesn't grab me in the first three pages, I don't read it. I broke off reading Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon at page 680 to read this wonderful little book, which I bought and it is beautifully printed and bound. What a find! This man gently addresses his son as I would mine, but so much more ...
