Sinopse

"Santiago Spirit" explores the captivating history of Santiago, Chile, from its origins as a small colonial outpost to its current status as the nation’s vibrant heart. The book argues that Santiago's unique identity stems from its resilience, adaptability, and its ability to integrate diverse influences, ultimately shaping Chile's national character. This includes the profound impact of Andean influences and the enduring legacy of its colonial past. For instance, the book details how the Spanish conquest transformed pre-Columbian settlements into a strategic foothold, setting the stage for future development.

 
The book offers a chronological and thematic examination of Santiago’s evolution. It begins with its genesis as a Spanish settlement, transitions to the indelible mark of the Andes on its culture and economy, and then analyzes the factors that propelled it to the forefront of Chilean politics. Supported by archival documents, colonial-era chronicles, and archaeological findings, "Santiago Spirit" provides a nuanced exploration of Santiago's history, acknowledging both its growth and the enduring legacies of colonialism and social inequality. This approach allows readers to grasp not only Santiago's specific historical trajectory but also broader themes relevant to urban planning and cultural preservation.

Back to Me - The Global Art of...

Quentin Drummond Anderson

Back to Me: The Global Art of Talking Without Listening is a sharp, funny, and globally informed exploration of how modern conversation has drifted into chaos. Quentin Drummond Anderson examines why, in a world louder than ever, silence has become the rarest sound — and listening an endangered skill. Drawing on a lifetime of cross-cultural experience, he takes readers from Tokyo to London, New York to Riyadh, revealing how every society has its own choreography of speech, interruption, and performance.
In Britain, conversation is a “polite ambush,” wrapped in apologies. Americans interrupt with enthusiasm, mistaking passion for empathy. Italians talk all at once, turning dialogue into an affectionate opera. In France, interruption is a duel; in the Nordic nations, silence is authority. Across Asia and the Middle East, measured speech and generous dialogue show how listening can still be an art.
Anderson dissects the conversational species of our age — from Interruptus Maximus to the Armchair Philosopher, from the Monologue Society to the Name Dropper — with the precision of a zoologist and the wit of a novelist. His analysis exposes not just how we speak, but what our habits reveal about insecurity, identity, and the universal hunger to be heard.
Yet Back to Me is ultimately hopeful. Anderson argues that beneath the noise lies the possibility of civility, humility, and curiosity — if we choose to reclaim them. “When everyone shouts,” he writes, “wisdom whispers.”
Insightful, cosmopolitan, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Back to Me is a timely guide to understanding how we lost the ability to listen — and how we might find it again.

Ayodhya - The Dark Night - The...

Krishna Jha, Dhirendra K. Jha

22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.
