  Algunos nacen con estrella y otros estrellados. This dicho (saying) roughly translates to "Some are born with a star, while others are born starry." It refers to the Mexican belief that good luck is a matter of fate, something you are born with or not. Mexicans attribute their good or bad luck to a greater force, to God's will, even to the stars in the sky. Being born with a star is a blessing. While some gain their luck through fate, Laura Davila believes even more in faith, virtue, and purpose. While there are some people who are born with a natural gift for magic, there are many others for whom life itself pushed them toward using magic. The best brujos and magical people are not those who necessarily started off in perfect circumstances but those who looked at magic as a skill to be mastered. 
   
   
   
  Spells are the focus of Mexican Magic. The book features magical recipes, spells, tips, and advice for a wide variety of intentions, including love, lust, sex, good luck, money, protection, commerce, gambling, justice, pregnancy, travel, education, and more. Although the spells may be practiced by anyone, their flavor is Mexican, as they are deeply rooted in Mexican folk beliefs and magic. Davila also shares direction on how to be a magical person and live a magical life, with examples given from some influential Mexican historical and spiritual figures.

  Māori journalism in Aotearoa New Zealand has become a vibrant industry, reporting through
  print, radio, television and the internet. This book looks at the history of Māori journalism and the
  elements that make it what it is today. The \author examines the way that news values common in English-speaking countries are reinterpreted for a Māori worldview and analyses news stories to
  show how Māori perspectives are expressed. She also identifies how elements of whaikōrero have
  been refashioned for news and the ways tapu and noa are managed by news teams. A host of well-known reporters share their perspectives on their work. They describe how they got into reporting, and we learn what happens as they gather information and produce their stories. In particular, we see how these journalists balance the demands of journalism and tikanga.

  Asperger’s Syndrome - Navigating...

  Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is often misunderstood, yet it is a part of the broader spectrum of human neurodiversity. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome experience the world in unique ways, often exhibiting strengths in specific areas while facing challenges in social communication and sensory processing. The aim of this book is to provide a deeper understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome, exploring the characteristics, challenges, and strengths that come with it, while promoting acceptance and celebration of neurodiversity. 
    
  Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, including those seen in Asperger’s Syndrome, are a natural variation of human diversity. Instead of viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, neurodiversity encourages us to appreciate the value these variations bring to society. It emphasizes that individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and other neurodivergent conditions offer unique perspectives, skills, and talents that are often overlooked or underappreciated in traditional settings. 
    
  Asperger’s Syndrome, in particular, is characterized by challenges in social interactions, communication, and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests. However, these traits do not define the person as a whole. Many individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome possess exceptional abilities in fields such as mathematics, technology, music, and art. They may also demonstrate a deep, intense focus on subjects they are passionate about, allowing them to become experts in their areas of interest.

  How much do you know about the “cradle of civilization?” Come explore the legacy of the brilliant ancient Mesopotamians who transformed the world. 
  Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour. 
  They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets’ retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering. 
  Mesopotamia gave birth to the world’s first great empires—the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids—which stretched over three continents. 
  A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes:How old is the world’s first city?How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark?How fast was the world’s first postal system?How many times did Babylon’s patron god Marduk get stolen?How did Hammurabi’s law code compare to the Law of Moses?Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born?Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army?Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world’s population?What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family?And much, much more!

  John Fisher and Thomas More -...

  In 1929, nearly four hundred years after the deaths of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher, G.K. Chesterton observed in words equally attributable to Fisher, “Blessed Thomas More is more important at this moment than at any moment since his death, even perhaps the great moment of his dying; but he is not quite so important as he will be in a hundred years.” Judge Robert J Conrad, Jr. anticipates Chesterton’s one-hundred-year mark in a collection of stories from the lives of More and Fisher, demonstrating how their sanctity and integrity carried them and those who loved them through tumultuous and heart-wrenching times which, perhaps surprisingly, bear a striking resemblance to the present epoch. At first blush, nothing could appear more different than the pre-industrial sixteenth century and the tech-centered modern era. But a closer examination presents a similar tale of political maneuvering and hostile hearings, legal corruption, viral pandemics, riots, suppression of speech, loss of religious liberty, and a profound indifference for truth. Judge Conrad effortlessly weaves together tales of both men and what made them who they were—family, faith, friendship, oaths, vocation, detachment, conscience—inviting those who strive for holiness down the same narrow path these two martyrs walked with a clarity founded upon the truth of Christ’s Church, and a wit that charmed even their persecutors.  Both these men refused to consent to the theological farce that would permit the king’s divorce and remarriage and drive a wedge into the unity of the Christian world, and both paid for their convictions with their lives. More died the king’s good servant and God’s first. Fisher approached his execution with joy befit for a wedding. And yet, both stand today, long after they are gone, as models of courage in a time when it is desperately needed.
