        "I don't consider myself fundamentally as a professional. I'm basically an adventurer." (Orson Welles) My company is me, my friends, who give their opinion about my work, the authors who discuss about which cover to use for their work, and my dear ghost writers who have always accompanied me. Together with this group of people, I have achieved a catalog of titles of constant sale, that do not age, ranging from local and Latin American literature to personal improvement books; these are "longsellers" I never stop reprinting them. I like books and I venture into it.

        Good Friend, Cancer

        by Pam Pam Liu

        When my mother gets cancer for the second time, she asked if I would keep her company through her chemotherapy. And of course, I said yes. But how am I meant to cope with it all? Pam Pam uses a clean but comical style to portray the joys and sorrows of accompanying a loved one through an illness.     Despite the technical and medical wonders of the modern age, cancer remains one of humanity’s biggest enemies. And while we all know the patients themselves suffer, what of their loved ones, who find themselves sudden becoming carers, struggling with negative emotions, drained by the demands upon them? They too face a long physical and emotional battle.   Good Friend, Cancer is a daughter’s first-hand account of her mother’s chemotherapy treatment. Finding herself now responsible for caring for her mother, she worries as she waits in the hospital that maybe her genes mean the same fate is in store for her. And she is also resentful – she has missed out on a change to follow her dreams and travel overseas. And most of all, and most unanswerably: why her?   Graphic novelist Pam Pam’s simple style and plain strokes provide a humorous look at a harsh reality and turn misfortunes into charming tales. Over the course of 18 short comics, Pam Pam examines the traditional roles of a “daughter” and the pressures of being an adult as she portrays truths about family relationships which we all recognize – even if we cannot admit to it.

        Core Practices in Teacher Education

        A Global Perspective

        by Pam Grossman and Urban Fraefel

        An exploration of teacher education programs around the world finds common focus in the use of core practices to better prepare teachers for the classroom. In Core Practices in Teacher Education, Pam Grossman and Urban Fraefel bring together international voices in a global showcase of practice-based approaches to teacher education. This generous volume presents the work of teacher educators and researchers from Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland, among others, highlighting various methods for teacher preparation and instruction rooted in core practices. The contributors describe real-world implementation of methods that give preservice and novice teachers opportunities to enact practices during professional training. Examples from classrooms around the world demonstrate how this approach allows student teachers to engage in problem solving and receive feedback, providing a foundation for adaptive expertise. Grossman and Fraefel show how a growing global movement has embraced core practices to better prepare teachers for ambitious teaching. In a thoughtful overview of the sociocultural theory and pedagogy that grounds this shift, they discuss the relationship of this work to that of 20th-century Swiss psychologist Hans Aebli and follow its trajectory through the present and beyond to predictions of where the field will move in the future. With this volume, teacher educators and researchers interested in teacher education and professional development will gain a critical cross-national perspective and fresh insight that can be applied to their own programs. Administrators will find ample inspiration for policy and program redesign.

In it, the author traces the tortuous path of a toxic relationship and the relationship with herself, in what is most essential. And it is from the body that Lucila's writing springs. It is healing in every word, without modesty, without savings.
