Abbeville Press Inc.,U.S. Tropical Style: Private Palm Beach
A definitive collection, edited by one of the world’s pre-eminent authorities on populism. Both old and new money flocks to Palm Beach for "the season", and the houses that line the oceanfront and Intercoastal Waterway exhibit a remarkable range of approaches to living under the subtropical sun. Among the twenty homes that are featured in this lavish volume are those of Dorothy Spreckels Munn and Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau. All the most renowned Palm Beach architects — Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio, Howard Major, and Belford Shoumate — are represented. But author Jennifer Ash also takes us off the beaten path to fascinating residences known to natives alone: an artist's bungalow on the bohemian Root Trail, a luxuriously appointed yet fully seaworthy yacht, a cozy retreat in a landmark church. And while relating the gossip-packed history of many of the island's famous residents, she gives us a guided tour of interiors created by both local and world-renowned designers, including David Easton and Juan Pablo Molyneux. From the rococo splendor of Mar-a-Lago — designed by Joseph Urban for Marjorie Merriweather Post and now owned by Donald Trump — to the ultra-modern chic of a house by Richard Meier, Private Palm Beach affords intimate access to life behind the island's meticulously manicured hedges.

Simon & Schuster The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family
Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and dean of Trumpologists David Cay Johnston reveals years of eye-popping financial misdeeds by Donald Trump and his family.While the world watched Donald Trump’s presidency in horror or delight, few noticed that his lifelong grifting quietly continued. Less than forty minutes after taking the oath of office, Trump began turning the White House into a money machine for himself, his family, and his courtiers. More than $1.7 billion flowed into Donald Trump’s bank accounts during his four years as president. Foreign governments rented out whole floors of his hotel five blocks from the White House while lobbyists conducted business in the hotel’s restaurants. Payday lenders and other trade groups moved their annual conventions to Trump golf resorts. And individual favor seekers joined his private Mar-a-Lago club with its $200,000 admission fee in hopes of getting a few minutes with the President. Despite earning more than $1 million every day he was in office, Trump left the White House as he arrived—hard up for cash. More than $400 million in debt comes due by 2024, and Trump still lacks the resources to pay it back. “Few people are as well positioned to write an exposé of the former president as Johnston” (The Washington Post), and The Big Cheat offers a guided tour of how money flowed in and out of Trump’s hundreds of enterprises, showing in simple terms how a corrupt president used our government for his benefit, even putting national security at risk. Johnston details the four most recent years of the corruption that has defined the Trump family since 1885 and reveals the costs of Trump’s extravagant lifestyle for American taxpayers.

Juanita wanted to be of help, so she always cooked for her family her favorite meal, tortillas. At night, when the sun cleared the way for the moon to shine bright, Juanita would run onto the roof of the house for her nighttime routine: counting stars. The sky was so clear she could almost touch it.But one day, Juanita’s mom became very ill, and she couldn’t work at her loom. Juanita wanted to help but didn’t know how to. It appears the sky had been listening to her all the time and had a big surprise stored for her…La mágica historia de una niña de Guatemala a la que le encantaba cocinar tortitas de maíz y contar estrellas cada noche.Juanita vivía en Santa Catarina Palopó, un pueblito encantador junto a un hermoso lago, rodeado por tres enormes volcanes.

Archaeopress Continuity and Change in Etruscan Domestic Architecture
Etruscan architecture underwent various changes between the later Iron Age and the Archaic period (c. 800-500 BC), as seen in the evidence from several sites. These changes affected the design and style of domestic architecture as well as the use of raw materials and construction techniques. However, based on a supposed linear progression from inferior to superior building materials, explanations and interpretations often portray an architectural transition in Etruria from ‘prehistoric’ to ‘historic’ building types. This perspective has encouraged a rather deterministic, overly simplified and inequitable view of the causes of change in which the replacement of traditional materials with new ones is thought to have been the main factor. This book aims to reconsider the nature of architectural changes in this period by focussing on the building materials and techniques used in the construction of domestic structures. Through a process of identification and interpretation using comparative analysis and an approach based on the chaîne opératoire perspective, changes in building materials and techniques are examined, with special reference to four key sites: San Giovenale, Acquarossa, Poggio Civitate (Murlo) and Lago dell’Accesa. It is argued that changes occurred in neither a synchronous nor a linear way, but separately and at irregular intervals. In this monograph, they are interpreted as resulting mainly from multigenerational habitual changes, reflecting the relationship between human behaviour and the built and natural environments, rather than choices between old and new materials. Moreover, despite some innovations, certain traditional building techniques and their associated materials continued into the Archaic period, indicating that Etruscan domestic architecture did not undergo a complete transformation, as sometimes asserted or implied in other works. This study of building techniques and materials, while not rejecting the widely held view of a significant Etruscan architectural transition, argues for a more nuanced reading of the evidence and greater recognition of the nature of behavioural change during the period in question.

NEWTYPE Publishing Los Secretos de Dios: Una Vida llena de Palabras de Conocimiento
EscribÍ este libro porque yo creo fuertemente que TU PUEDES CRECER EN PALABRAS DE CONOCIMIENTO! Pablo anima a los creyentes en primera de Corintios 14:1 a seguir el amor y procurar los dones espirituales, pero sobre todo que profeticÉis. El nunca nos dirÍa que procuremos algo o nos animarÍa a seguir los dones en a iglesia si es que no pudiÉsemos acceder a ellos. Las palabras de conocimiento son un aspecto de los dones profÉticos que podemos desarrollar de la misma manera como desarrollamos cualquier otro don espiritual. A lo largo de este libro quiera darte Fe, el modelo y las escrituras para que empieces tu propio caminar profÉtico, para que puedas tu mismo buscar y experimentar este asombroso don que hace que el mundo se sienta tan amado y conocido por nuestro Padre que esta en el cielo. Las palabras de conocimiento han sido uno de los aspectos menos desarrollados de los dones de revelaciÓn y sin embargo son unos de los mas poderosos dones que la iglesia puede usar. Nos ayudan a definir esos momentos de asombro - “ah ja” cuando nos damos cuenta que Dios es real, y esta presente y te ama. Crea un espacio para que las personas estÉn en asombro y aun en shock de quien Dios es y cuan Íntimamente los ama a ellos y a todo al humanidad. Palabras de Conocimiento suenan a lago muy simple, pero llevan consigo un encuentro total con el Dios de todo el universo y causa que el Dios que siempre esta presente se manifieste a esa persona que recibe la palabra en aquel momento. La gente siente que el Dios de todo el universo se preocupa especÍficamente sobre los detalles mas Íntimos de sus vidas y sus corazones. Yo creo que necesitamos restaurar este don a su lugar correcto en nuestros corazones y que se convierta en una de las metas de cÓmo nos movemos en profecÍa. Los cristianos que empiezan a escuchar el corazÓn y la mente de Dios sobre los eventos actuales, experiencias pasadas, y todo las demÁs que sucede en medio, van a ser una de las fuentes mas valiosas en el mundo para aconsejar en los dÍas que estÁn por venir. JesÚs logro influenciar audiencias influyentes con simples palabras de conocimiento y sabidurÍa profÉtica. Como la historia de Zaqueo quien era un odiado recaudador de impuestos. Zaqueo era un hombre pequeÑo y se subiÓ a un Árbol para tratar de ver a JesÚs. El esperaba quizÁs que JesÚs le preste atenciÓn sin embargo sabia que probablemente JesÚs continuarÍa su camino. Pero JesÚs le vio ahÍ y le llamo por su nombre, una palabra de conocimiento, y le dijo “Zaqueo, baja y prepara tu casa para visitarte” Zaqueo estaba sorprendido, emocionado, asustado y serio en ese momento. Algunas personas de la multitud que eran religiosas dijeron - No vayas a estar con un deshonesto, un hombre indigno! Si lo conocieras nunca pusieras un pie en su casa - Zaqueo se defendiÓ a si mismo sin querer perderse la oportunidad pero JesÚs lo validÓ diciendo “No te preocupes, voy a ir a tu casa” Porque JesÚs no estaba mirando lo natural, el podÍa compartir el afecto y el amor y la visiÓn del Padre en el cielo para este pequeÑo hombre. Y fue un modelo a seguir para cientos de personas a su alrededor que tambiÉn se sentÍan indignos de conectarse con Dios . JesÚs amo aun a las personas que no se sentÍan dignas de su amor. Cuando de nosotros nos perdemos preciosas oportunidades de amar porque no vemos a las personas con ojos de revelaciÓn? Si estamos limitados a lo que podemos ver o discernir, nos perderemos las mejores oportunidades en la vida.
