Brunhild was a Visigothic princess, raised to be married off for the sake of alliance-building. Her sister-in-law, Fredegund, started out as a lowly palace slave. And yet - in sixth-century Merovingian France, where women were excluded from noble succession and royal politics was a blood sport - these two iron-willed strategists reigned over vast realms for decades, changing the face of Europe. The two queens commanded armies, developed taxation policies, established infrastructure and negotiated with emperors and popes.

Este libro reconstruye los principales pasajes de la vida de Roemer, académico, conductor y promotor de sí mismo acusado de más de 60 ataques sexuales, desde acoso hasta violación. Además, la autora cuenta también su propia historia, en la que sufrió acoso cuando ella hacía su servicio social. El roedor, igualmente, hace un repaso de los escándalos no sexuales de Roemer: su terrible gestión en el consulado de San Francisco, su aún peor paso por la representación de Mexico ante la UNESCO, y el negocio que usó para cometer sus tropelías: la Ciudad de las Ideas.

The urgent need to honor the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence came to Douglas MacKinnon, fittingly enough, on the Fourth of July. While doing research for a column meant to remind the American people of that date’s critical importance, he came across example after example of those from the left and the far left—be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists—calling for not only the “canceling” of the Fourth of July, but the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers.

La vida de Gustavo Petro no es tan conocida a pesar de que su participación en la vida pública del país ha sido destacada como representante a la Cámara, Senador de la República y Alcalde de Bogotá. Poco se sabe de sus primeros años, cuando sus padres se conocieron en la Bogotá de finales de los años cincuenta y la parábola de una vida que comenzó en su natal Ciénaga de Oro, en el barrio Las Cruces, o en Zipaquirá, su municipio de crianza donde estudió en el mismo colegio de su escritor más admirado, Gabriel García Márquez.

The nearly eight years of Harry Truman’s presidency—among the most turbulent in American history—were marked by victory in the wars against Germany and Japan; the first use of an atomic bomb and the development of far deadlier weapons; the start of the Cold War and the creation of the NATO alliance; the Marshall Plan to rebuild the wreckage of postwar Europe; the Red Scare; and the fateful decision to commit troops to fight a costly “limited war” in Korea.

A través de estas páginas, la doctora Úrsula Camba y Alejandro Rosas no pretenden sacar del infierno cívico de la historia nacional a Hernán Cortés, tampoco buscan reivindicarlo ni elevarlo a un pedestal como solía hacerlo la historia oficial con sus muy cuestionables héroes. Sin prejuicios, ellos se adentran en los años de la Conquista para entender al hombre polifacético, a los protagonistas que participaron junto con él y a las circunstancias de ese acontecimiento histórico del que nació el México actual y que, al mismo tiempo, cambió la historia del mundo.

Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother has been called the 'most successful queen since Cleopatra'. Her personality was so captivating that even her arch-enemy, Wallis Simpson, wrote about 'her legendary charm'. Portrayed as a selfless partner to the king in the Oscar-winning movie The King's Speech, The Queen Mother is most often remembered from her later years as the smiling granny with the pastel hats. When she died in 2002, just short of her 102nd birthday, she was praised for a long life well lived. But there was another side to her story.

Nel novembre del 2014, i tredici membri della famiglia Biden si trovarono a Nantucket per festeggiare il Ringraziamento, una tradizione che li riuniva da quarant'anni. Ma quell'anno era diverso dagli altri. Quindici mesi prima, infatti, al figlio maggiore di Joe e Jill Biden, Beau, era stato diagnosticato un tumore al cervello. Le possibilità di sopravvivere erano poche. "Papà, fammi una promessa", aveva detto un giorno Beau a suo padre. "Dammi la tua parola che starai bene, qualsiasi cosa succeda". Joe Biden gli aveva dato la sua parola.

Most people don’t go past the surface level when learning about Benjamin Franklin. Unfortunately, because of that, they fail to realize how amazing he was. Benjamin Franklin was a person full of ambition. For many, the honor of being called a Founding Father would have been enough, but not for him. He went on to do so much more with his life. Being born into a poor family, he had to work extra-hard to get the things he wanted in life. And because of his ambition and drive, in just 50 years, he was able to go from living in poverty to living in exceptional wealth and status.
