Spain's first democracy was announced to popular jubilation in April 1931, a new dawn ushered in without a single shot being fired. Yet just over five years later the country was plunged into a brutal civil war that bequeathed hundreds of thousands of deaths and an authoritarian dictatorship under General Francisco Franco that lasted almost forty years. This book analyses Spain's dramatic political shift, reassessing the role of the right as it mobilised against the Second Republic, swinging from ostensibly "moderate" Catholic conservatism to fascist violence. By providing the first detailed study of the uniformed, paramilitary Juventud de Accion Popular (JAP), Sid Lowe challenges the historiographical orthodoxy on Spanish fascism and assumptions about the role of the hegemonic right-wing party during the Republican years, Jose Maria Gil Robles's CEDA. Drawing on a wide range of previously uncovered primary material, he demonstrates that much of the parliamentary right, its leadership included, abandoned the legal road to power when it could no longer use democracy as a Trojan Horse with which to conquer the state. It throws vital new light on the conspiracy to destroy the Republic, the Nationalist war effort, the creation of the new state, and the true social and political origins of the Franco regime. Published in association with the Canada Blanch Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies.

Tú Eterna Juventud es la historia del viaje de Jeff Crippen a través del sistema médico tradicional en busca de un tratamiento eficaz para las migrañas debilitantes. A pesar de que buscó lo mejor que la atención médica podía ofrecer - desde médicos de renombre hasta medicamentos farmacéuticos - sus dolores de cabeza persistieron y se intensificaron igual que sus niveles de frustración al buscar respuestas, empatía y alivio de un sistema que lo veía como una colección de síntomas, no como una persona completa.Gracias a la frustración, sabía que debía haber una mejor manera de crear y mantener la salud. Debido a su propio dolor como paciente, embarcó en un viaje para deshacerse por su cuenta – y para siempre – de las migrañas que afectaron su vida durante décadas. En el camino, primero como paciente y luego como Doctor en Quiropráctica con un enfoque en nutrición, descubrió que la salud es mucho más que la simple ausencia de síntomas. Con demasiada frecuencia, el sistema médico define la salud por lo que no es, sin preguntarse la definición de la verdadera salud. Su búsqueda de la salud lo llevó a cinco principios clave sobre los cuales construye su práctica y su vida actual: El Principio Yellowstone, El Principio del Modelo A, El Principio Cuántico, El Principio de Fuerza Olímpica y El Principio de Tu Yo Dorado. Al escribir Tú Eterna Juventud, el Dr. Jeff comparte los cinco principios fundamentales de la salud para que tu también puedas crear Tú Eterna Juventud.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTimeless You-th is the story of Jeff Crippen’s journey through the traditional medical system trying to find an effective treatment for debilitating migraines. Despite seeking the best that medical care had to offer, from renowned doctors to pharmaceutical drugs, his headaches persisted and intensified, as did his frustration levels as he sought answers, empathy, and relief from a system that saw him as a collection of symptoms and not a whole person.Through the frustration, he knew there must be a better way to create and maintain health. Born out of his own pain as a patient, he embarked on a journey to rid himself — forever — of headaches that had impacted his life for decades. On the journey, first as a patient and later as a Doctor of Chiropractic with a focus on nutrition, he found there is a lot more to health than just the absence of symptoms. All too often, the medical system defines health by what it isn’t, leaving the definition of true health both unaddressed and unanswered.His search for health led him to five key principles that his practice and his life are built on today: The Yellowstone Principle, the Model A principle, the Quantum Principle, the Principle of Olympic Strength, and the Principle of the Golden You.In writing Timeless You-th, Dr. Jeff shares the five foundational principles of health so that you, too, can create a lifetime of timeless you-th.
