'The Fix' is the most explosive story of sports corruption in a generation. Intriguing, riveting, and compelling, it tells the story of an investigative journalist who sets out to examine the world of match-fixing in professional soccer.§Understand how gambling fixers work to corrupt a soccer game and you will understand how they move into a basketball league, a cricket tournament, or a tennis match (all places, by the way, that criminal fixers have moved into). My views on soccer have changed. I still love the Saturday-morning game between amateurs: the camaraderie and the fresh smell of grass. But the professional game leaves me cold. I hope you will understand why after reading the book. I think you may never look at sport in the same way again.

Heinrich Faust, ein angesehener Forscher und Lehrer zu Beginn der Neuzeit, zieht die Bilanz seines Lebens und kommt zu einem doppelt niederschmetternden Fazit: Als Wissenschaftler fehle es ihm an tiefer Einsicht und brauchbaren Ergebnissen, und als Mensch sei er unfähig, das Leben in seiner Fülle zu genießen. In dieser verzweifelten Lage verspricht er dem Teufel seine Seele, wenn es diesem gelingen sollte, Faust aus seiner Unzufriedenheit und Ruhelosigkeit zu befreien. Der schließt mit Faust einen Pakt, verwandelt ihn zurück in einen jungen Mann, nimmt ihn mit auf eine Reise durch die Welt und hilft ihm, die Liebschaft mit der jungen Margarete, genannt Gretchen, einzufädeln.

I swore I would never return to this palace. Never kneel before my father again.But I have been dragged back into his gilded cage, trapped beneath his rule, and bound to a fate I had tried to escape.My body is his to break, my magic his to wield. And no matter how many nights I dream of Dacre storming these halls, of his hands pulling me from the darkness—dreams are nothing against the greed of a king.Even if my mate comes for me, even if I am freed from my father’s grip, I’m not sure there will be anything left of me to save.The kingdom is dying. The land withers beneath the weight of stolen magic, and my father’s reign will not end without bloodshed.But I have lived in the dark for too long.And I was not made to wither, I was made to burn.

Escribí Las venas para difundir ideas ajenas y experiencias propias que quizás ayuden un poquito, en su realista medida, a despejar los interrogantes que nos persiguen desde siempre: ¿es América Latina una región del mundo condenada a la humillación y a la pobreza? ¿Condenada por quién? ¿Culpa de Dios, culpa de la naturaleza? ¿No será la desgracia un producto de la historia, hecha por los hombres y que por los hombres puede, por lo tanto, ser deshecha? Este libro fue escrito con la intención de divulgar ciertos hechos que la historia oficial, historia contada por los vencedores, esconde o miente. Sé que pudo resultar sacrílego que este manual de divulgación hable de economía política en el estilo de una novela de amor o de piratas. Creo que no hay vanidad en la alegría de comprobar, al cabo del tiempo, que Las venas no ha sido un libro mudo. Eduardo Galeano

In "Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter", bestselling authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough take readers through the wide world of this versatile culinary staple. This globetrotting guide provides recipes, cultural history, anecdotes and info for ham in all its permutations - from Easter lunch to Iberian jamon to classic Southern-style preparations. The book covers ham in its four main categories: fresh, European dry-cured, American dry-cured and wet-cured. The authors share 100 recipes, including ones for Filipino twice-cooked pork, grilled and herbed butterflied ham and even a perfectly spiced (politically incorrect, but delicious) Moroccan spice rub for roasted fresh ham. The book is brimming with content, but Weinstein and Scarbrough anchor everything with their accessible, conversational style and hilarious personal anecdotes (for example, what happens when you bring jambon persille - 'Ham Jell-O' - to a swanky party? Or, how do two transplants from the big city to the countryside go about making their own prosciutto? The answer is not for the squeamish).The book is enlivened by discussions of the science of ham or, more importantly, the science of curing: the importance of the magnesium switch-out in cellular structure, the role of salt, lactic acids in cured meat, the debate about nitrates/nitrites. With 25 stunning photos by Marcus Nilsson, the book will be both juicy bedtime reading and a bespattered kitchen standby. The recipes are varied in both ethnicity and scope. Together they've written a very funny and delicious collection of recipes and stories celebrating their obsession. Panfried Ham from Peru, Lechon Asada from Cuba, braised Ham Cacciatore, Ham Tagine and Red-Cooked Ham and Chestnuts are just a few of the international dishes they feature. Country hams from the South feature largely in the book, as well as cured hams from Spain and Italy. Sidebars and written snapshots of producers and farmers flesh out this cookbook that is part travelogue and part cultural history, a fusion of art and workaday know-how, as well as a wry, entertaining, and enlightening look at one of the world's culinary obsessions.
