Book Description
This is the only updated version of the book. It has been revised and corrected by its author in 2020.The maturity acquired by the writer over the years, plus his search for greater knowledge, has allowed him to understand in greater depth several topics that he himself had written before in this book, when he only knew the topic "Aliens" from afar, and he was guided more by youthful enthusiasm than by accuracy. Today he writes the same story as before, but from a deeper perspective and a less childish, more realistic and more accurate perspective. This means that the previous versions do not reflect the author's current clarity about the themes that the book addresses. The spirituality it presents is now easier to understand, and even the humor has grown.Omi, a young alien from a more advanced and benign world than ours, is the main character of this book. Translated into twelve languages, it has sold several million copies and continues to reach more people, languages and countries. Why is it so widely distributed?Perhaps because of the joyful words of wisdom and reflection that Omi uses to guide young and not so young people in a confused world: the problem of the climate, the great inequalities, corruption, etc., with their consequent revolts and protests. These are the effects; Omi points to the cause, which is the lack of the inner light that he comes to point out.The book takes us to visit stellar societies superior to ours, and encourages us to produce the necessary changes so that one day we will live without polluted skies and without violence, as in the evolved worlds. These changes must first be made within each one of us. The Fundamental Law of the Universe, which Omi reveals, is the way forward.Enrique Barrios is a Chilean-Venezuelan author living in Spain. He was a tireless traveler, although today he considers that he has already exhausted his quota of trips because has lived in many countries and taken a complete tour around the world.In 1984 he had an inner experience that indicated to him that universal life revolved around what he called "The Fundamental Law of the Universe", and when he saw himself with such an important concept in his hands, without having been a writer, at the age of 39 and in only eight days he wrote "Omi", a book that became an immediate bestseller.In the mouth of the smiling young man of the stars, EB tells us about his discovery."Omi" is a "Long-Seller", a "classic", a "must read", a book of which there are very few: Those that continue to be sold through the years.

Book Description
Twenty years since the publication of the Second Edition and more than thirty years since the publication of the original book, Racial Formation in the United States now arrives with each chapter radically revised and rewritten by authors Michael Omi and Howard Winant, but the overall purpose and vision of this classic remains the same: Omi and Winant provide an account of how concepts of race are created and transformed, how they become the focus of political conflict, and how they come to shape and permeate both identities and institutions. The steady journey of the U.S. toward a majority nonwhite population, the ongoing evisceration of the political legacy of the early post-World War II civil rights movement, the initiation of the ‘war on terror’ with its attendant Islamophobia, the rise of a mass immigrants rights movement, the formulation of race/class/gender ‘intersectionality’ theories, and the election and reelection of a black President of the United States are some of the many new racial conditions Racial Formation now covers.

Book Description
“An incredibly strong debut.... It’s well worth your time.”—New York Journal of Books In a world where female bodies hold the map to the future, one young woman must fight to change her family’s fate. Celeste Morton has eagerly awaited her passage to adulthood. Like every girl, she was born with a set of childhood markings—the freckles, moles, and birthmarks on her body that foretell her future and that of those around her—and with puberty will come a new set of predictions that will solidify her fate. The possibilities are tantalizing enough to outweigh her worry that the future she dreams of won’t be the one she’s fated to experience. Celeste’s beloved brother, Miles, who is training to be a fortune-teller, is equally anticipating what Celeste’s transformation will reveal. But when Celeste matures into her adult markings, she discovers a devastating omen about Miles’s future. Desperate to protect her family from the truth, Celeste’s once charmed life unravels, forcing her to question everything she’s ever known about fate and female agency, and face the perils of knowing what’s to come too soon.

Book Description
From international bestselling author Mario Escobar comes a story of escape, sacrifice, and hope amid the perils of the Second World War. August 1942. Jacob and Moses Stein, two young Jewish brothers, are staying with their aunt in Paris amid the Nazi occupation. The boys’ parents, well-known German playwrights, have left the brothers in their aunt’s care until they can find safe harbor for their family. But before the Steins can reunite, a great and terrifying roundup occurs. The French gendarmes, under Nazi order, arrest the boys and take them to the Vélodrome d’Hiver—a massive, bleak structure in Paris where thousands of France’s Jews are being forcibly detained. Jacob and Moses know they must flee in order to survive, but they only have a set of letters sent from the South of France to guide them to their parents. Danger lurks around every corner as the boys, with nothing but each other, trek across the occupied country. Along their remarkable journey, they meet strangers and brave souls who put themselves at risk to protect the children—some of whom pay the ultimate price for helping these young refugees of war. This inspiring novel, now available for the first time in English, demonstrates the power of family and the endurance of the human spirit—even through the darkest moments of human history. World War II historical fiction inspired by true events Book length: 94,000 words Includes discussion questions for reading groups, a historical timeline, and notes from the author “A poignant telling of the tragedies of war and the sacrificing kindness of others seen through the innocent eyes of children.” —J’nell Ciesielski, bestselling author of The Socialite and Beauty Among Ruins

Book Description
Is the Catholic Church a movement built around ideas, or a communion built around relationships? In A Godly Humanism, Francis Cardinal George shares his understanding of the Church in lively, compelling prose, presenting a way to understand and appreciate the relationships of God to human beings and of human beings to one another. These loving relationships are continually made available to us in and through the Church, from the time of Jesus’s first disciples down to our own day. We are introduced to how the spiritual and intellectual life of Christians, aided in every generation by the Holy Spirit working through the Apostles and their successors, resist the danger of splitting apart from one another. Though they take different outward forms at different times, both wisdom and holiness are made possible for every Christian in any station of life. Sign-posting his conversation by the milestones of his own spiritual and intellectual journey, Cardinal George invites us to view the Church and her history in ways that go beyond the categories of politics—through which we find merely human initiative, contrivance, and adjustment—and rather to see the initiative as God’s first and foremost. God is the non-stop giver, we are non-stop recipients of his gifts, and the recent popes, no less than the Father of the Church, have made every effort to make us aware of the graces—that is, of the unearned benefits—that God confers on us as Catholics, as Christians, as believers, and simply as human beings. Pope Francis, he reminds us, contrasts human planning with God’s providence, and this book is at once an exposition of that providence and a personal response of gratitude for the way it has operated in one man’s life.
