Download or read book Ca do del Cielo written by Samuel Pastrana Meléndez and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-07-27 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los eventos más importantes en la historia de la aviación es aún desconocido por muchos, debido al encubrimiento de los países que lo protagonizaron, los Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética. Ocurrió durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra Fría que le siguió, y tuvo serias consecuencias sobre la política internacional. Caído del cielo recrea cómo el dictador de la Unión Soviética, Joseph Stalin, hizo una copia exacta del B-29 norteamericano —bombardero estratégico superpesado de largo alcance— y lo convirtió en el TU-4 soviético. Es un relato lleno de acción e intriga, donde destacan figuras de la más alta jerarquía de la época, matizado por una compleja historia de amor entre los protagonistas. El B-29 reunía todas las características que hicieron posible el lanzamiento de las bombas atómicas que destruyeron las ciudades japonesas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki en 1945. Ese evento fue catalogado como un recurso de intimidación contra los soviéticos. Ante esa nueva amenaza, Stalin estaba dispuesto a hacer lo necesario para apoderarse de la novel tecnología del asombroso avión norteamericano. Y tal como narra Caído del cielo, finalmente lo logró.

Download or read book Tarot geneal gico written by Víctor Leni Cordero and published by EDICIONES B. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cuánto del pasado familiar nos condiciona? ¿Cómo y cuánto pesa un secreto callado durante generaciones? ¿Se heredan los traumas? ¿Qué es un patrón y por qué los repito y reproduzco? ¿Cuánto de todo eso que creo que me define es realmente mío y no heredado? ¿Qué es un nudo? ¿Y una lealtad? Víctor Leni Cordero nos propone abordar esa historia que nos precede a través del Tarot, utilizando esta herramienta para crear puentes hacia nuestra alma y nuestra sabiduría. Nuestro árbol genealógico es un sistema lleno de información inconsciente que puede condicionarnos de tal manera que a veces se convierte en una trampa. Esto se traduce en todas aquellas conductas, vínculos, vicios y sucesos de los que no nos podemos escapar y que parecen dominar nuestra vida. Una jaula sin escapatoria, pero una jaula de cristal, porque no la vemos. Víctor Leni Cordero nos propone abordar esa historia que nos precede a través del tarot, utilizando esta herramienta para crear puentes hacia nuestra alma y nuestra sabiduría. El abordaje termina con un manual para aprender a hacer lecturas, y con juegos y ritos que buscan desde la práctica, traducir a la acción lo aprendido, nuestras resonancias e intuiciones. Estas páginas nos invitan a un viaje desconocido y vertiginoso a través de esta mancia y sus múltiples posibilidades: avanzar en las profundidades de nosotros mismos y, sobre todo, de nuestro árbol genealógico y las historias de nuestros ancestros para destrabar, liberar, sacar a luz y hasta enmendar heridas.

He spared the man's life and spared himself life in an Americano jail. This action set off a series of events that would bring great misfortune to Luciano and his family. For the rest of his life he struggled to maintain hsi sense of honor. In Timely Conquest Jerry tells the story of his great-grandfathers, Luciano and Jesus as they adapt to life under U.S. control.

Download or read book Naci n Gen zara written by Moises Gonzales and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nación Genízara examines the history, cultural evolution, and survival of the Genízaro people. The contributors to this volume cover topics including ethnogenesis, slavery, settlements, poetics, religion, gender, family history, and mestizo genetics. Fray Angélico Chávez defined Genízaro as the ethnic term given to indigenous people of mixed tribal origins living among the Hispano population in Spanish fashion. They entered colonial society as captives taken during wars with Utes, Apaches, Comanches, Kiowas, Navajos, and Pawnees. Genízaros comprised a third of the population by 1800. Many assimilated into Hispano and Pueblo society, but others in the land-grant communities maintained their identity through ritual, self-government, and kinship. Today the persistence of Genízaro identity blurs the lines of distinction between Native and Hispanic frameworks of race and cultural affiliation. This is the first study to focus exclusively on the detribalized Native experience of the Genízaro in New Mexico.
