Te Doy Mi Corazon

Como en el cuento de Cenicienta, Sophie ve una noche cumplirse su sueño. A espaldas de su madrastra, se viste como una reina y acude al baile de disfraces más importante de Londres. Lo que es más, consigue captar la atención de Benedict Bridgerton, el soltero más atractivo y encantador de la reunión. Sin embargo, pronto vuelve a enfrentarse a su cruda realidad, la de una hija ilegítima, pobre y sin recursos. El destino quiere darle una segunda oportunidad cuando entra a servir en casa de Benedict, aunque él no reconoce en ella a la hermosa joven a la que lleva años buscando. Ella es ahora una simple criada, incapaz de revelarle la verdad. La magia de aquella noche parece perdida para siempre ¿o quizás no?DE PRINCESA RADIANTE...Sophie vivió una infancia extraña. Todos sabían que era hija del conde de Penwood y, aunque éste nunca la reconoció como tal, cuidó de que no le faltara nada. Todo cambió cuando su padre se casó de nuevo, y la madrastra y sus dos hijas hicieron de la vida de Sophie una pesadilla. Muerto el conde, su testamento las obligaba a cuidar de la niña, pero nunca la consideraron una igual. Y tampoco le permitirían nunca que se atreviera a competir con ellas por las atención de los muy cotizados solteros de la familia Bridgerton, tan atractivos como bien situados. Antes, la echarían a la calle donde, suponían, no tendría jamás una oportunidad de acercarse a ellos....A CRIADA EN CASA DEL PRÍNCIPE¿Quién era esa mujer extraordinaria? Benedict no puede olvidar aquella belleza enmascarada que le hechizó en un instante, a la que sólo conoce como la Dama Plateada por el color de su vestido y a quien, inconscientemente, le entregó su corazón. áPero ahora, años después, se siente poderosamente atraído por una sencilla criada a la que salva de un asaltante borracho. Ella es la única que le hace revivir la emoción que le produjo la misteriosa enmascarada. Pero también ella parece fuera de su alcance, a causa de las insalvables barreras de clase que los separan. Sin embargo, la familia Bridgerton tiene muchos recursos para ayudar a uno de los suyos cuando surgen problemas de amor...

Overground Railroad Taylor Candacy

A New York Times Notable Book of 2020The first book to explore the historical role and residual impact of the Green Book, a travel guide for black motorists used for decades when traveling through segregated America.Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the "black travel guide to America." At that time, it was both dangerous and difficult for African Americans to travel, because black travelers couldn't eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses.The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem.Candacy Taylor writes in her introduction, "The Green Book was published during a time when car travel symbolized freedom in America, but since racial segregation was in

Plant Families Bayton Ross

Most of us lump plants together in one big family, and when pressed can only explain their grouping by what they're not--not an animal, not a mineral, and so just a plant. In reality, there are hundreds of different plant families, each grouped logically by a unique family history and genealogy. This brings sense and order to the more than a quarter of a million different plant species covering a diverse spectrum that includes soaring sequoias (Cupressaceae), squat prickly pear (Cactaceae), and luxuriant roses (Rosaceae).Plant Families is an easy-to-use, beautifully illustrated guide to the more than one hundred core plant families every horticulturist, gardener, or budding botanist needs to know. It introduces the basics of plant genealogy and teaches readers how to identify and understand the different structures of flowers, trees, herbs, shrubs, and

Minden egyes lélegzeteddel

A mindfulness a tudatos jelenlét, az éber figyelem művészete.A tudatos figyelem azt jelenti, hogy a jelen pillanatra koncentrálunk, minden minősítés és irányítási szándék nélkül elfogadva azt. Gyakorlásának rengeteg jótékony hatását igazolták - nagyobb békesség, több energia, magabiztosság, kevesebb stressz, fájdalom és szorongás, a depresszió csökkenése -, sokan azonban mégis unalmas, meddő kínlódásnak találják az egészet. Pedig ha összekapcsoljuk a légzéssel, döbbenetes az eredmény! Ha úgy gyakoroljuk a tudatos figyelmet, hogy annak a lélegzet a kiindulási pontja és egyben a fókusza is, azzal természetes módon lelünk még nagyobb békességre, örömre és erőre, bölcsességre, és ez valóban megváltoztatja az életünket.Rose Elliot könyve Buddha 2500 éves tanításain alapul, amelyeket egyszerű légzésgyakorlatok formájában tolmácsol. Ezek szövik át aranyfonálként a művet, és megmutatják, hogyan fejleszthető a légzésre irányuló tudatos figyelem, és miként használható az élet minden aspektusában: a testünk, az érzéseink, az érzelmeink, az elménk és a szellemünk viszonylatában. Napi pár perc gyakorlással egyre több békét, szabadságot és örömöt élhetünk át a mindennapjainkban.

Házipatika - Receptek, tippek, praktikák

"Mi, nők ősidők óta nagy gondot fordítunk arra, hogy a tükörbe nézve elégedettek legyünk az elénk táruló látvánnyal - életkorunktól, társadalmi vagy pénzügyi helyzetünktől, évszaktól vagy épp a reggeli ébredést követő hangulatunktól függetlenül, hiszen természetes vágyunk a szépség és az egészség.Hiúságunk és az egyre rohanó élettempó azonban egyre gyakrabban késztet minket egyszerű, kényelmes, ugyanakkor drága és meglehetősen hatástalan megoldásokra. Gyors fogyást ígérő "csodaszereket" vásárolunk, különféle kozmetikai kezeléseknek vagy kockázatos sebészeti beavatkozásoknak vetjük alá magunkat. Pedig nem kellene mást tennünk, mint betérni a természet patikájába, ahol mindenre megvan a legtisztább megoldás. Meglehet, nem olyan egyszerű ebben a patikában "vásárolni", nem lehet csak úgy, kényelmesen leemelni a polcról a kész terméket, de hosszú távon megéri, hiszen a hajunk, a bőrünk és az emésztőrendszerünk meghálálja a természetes gondoskodást.Ebben a naptárkönyvben hónapról hónapra kínálunk neked recepteket, ellátunk jó tanácsokkal és tippekkel. Boszorkánykonyhádban készíthetsz magadnak hajpakolást, arc- és testradírt, lélekmelegítő gyógyteát, ajakápolót, méregtelenítő dzsúszt, karcsúsító levest, de még tavaszi nagytakarításhoz szükséges tisztítószert is. Óriási a kínálat, szilveszter estéjére pedig találsz egy meglepetéskoktélt - mert megérdemled!"

Brisbane

I keep coming back to the light of Brisbane. If you are born into it, this palette of gentle pinks and oranges at dawn and dusk, the blast white of midday in summer, the lemon luminescence of mid-morning and mid-afternoon, you keep it with you, and measure all other light by it. If you live away from it, then step back into it, it is the first thing that tells you you're home.Brisbane reveals a city of wooden houses where mango trees abound, where the serpentine river seems to be of the city and yet somehow not, where ghostly memories of demolished landmarks like Cloudland and The Bellevue Hotel hover and where the chime of the City Hall clock echoes through time and place.Taking readers on a unique personal journey, Matthew Condon unearths the city's history - sometimes literally - and paints a portrait of transformation from a sleepy capital city that's more
