Ríos de tinta han corrido desde aquel 2 de diciembre de 1993, cuando el temible Pablo Escobar fue abatido por la Policía en Medellín. Desde entonces, algunos protagonistas y muchos no protagonistas de ese episodio han contado versiones sobre lo que sucedió dentro de la vivienda donde fue localizado el jefe del cartel de Medellín. No obstante, la historia siempre ha sido contada desde un solo lado de la mesa. Ahora por primera vez, el oficial de la Policía que ese día se batió a tiros con Escobar, cuenta detalles inéditos de lo que realmente ocurrió en esos pocos minutos que cambiaron el rumbo del país. El coronel Hugo Aguilar revela detalles inéditos de la persecución al capo y cómo se desarrolló la guerra que terminó con la muerte del temido criminal. El autor es quien aparece en la famosa fotografía tomada en el tejado de la casa justo después de la muerte de Escobar.

How to Ask Questions: The Right Way - The Only 7 Steps You Need to Master Inquiry Communication Skills, Solving Problems and Getting the Right Answers Today - Dean Mack

How to Ask Questions: The Right Way - The Only 7 Steps You Need to Master Inquiry Communication Skills, Solving Problems and Getting the Right Answers Today

Learn How to Get the Right Answers by Asking the Right Questions with This Simple Guide! Do you have trouble or take a lot of time and effort to communicate and get the information you're interested in from the person you're talking to? Do you often find yourself struggling to make your questions concise and understandable to the person you're communicating with? If you found the above questions intriguing or well-made, learn how to ask similar, or completely new ones with this new awesome book -  "How to Ask Questions: The Right Way, The Only 7 Steps You Need to Master Inquiry Communication Skills, Solving Problems, and Getting the Right Answers Today"  is a guide that will take you on a journey that will benefit your communication and problem solving skills substantially! Asking questions, and communicating in general, can sometimes seem very complex and hard to master. However, once you get the ropes of it, it becomes incredibly easy and natural. This book aims to show you that, as well as the way to master the art of asking the right questions at the right time. Did you know that Pierre-Marc-Gaston, duke of Lévis, once said " It is easier to judge the mind of a man by his questions rather than his answers. "? And there is, in fact, a lot of truth in that quote. Just remember how many times you've silently (or openly) judged someone for asking "stupid" or "obvious" questions. Or how many times you found someone to be really irritating because he/she can't formulate the questions he/she asks well, so they sound confusing and take a lot of effort and time to even understand, let alone answer. In order to avoid this, you should learn what questions to ask, how to ask them, and when they are the most appropriate. What Makes This Book Different from Others in the Same Category? Most of the guides on similar topics you can find online or on paper are too slow and tend to go into too much detail, without taking a break and looking at the wider picture. Their structure is usually that of a medical or psychological textbook - easy to understand and intuitive to those that are already adept in the area, but not to the average reader that just wants to learn how to ask questions. Therefore, this guide in particular differentiates itself from the other, similar ones, by following a very intuitive and chronological structure, going from the preparation before the conversation, then over the different aspects of the conversation itself, finally concluding with what to expect once you've asked the questions you wanted. Here's What You'll Learn: How to plan out your conversation in advance and prepare for it How to logically formulate your questions so that they make sense and are relevant with the flow of the conversation How to understand the emotions that your questions might evoke in the person you're talking to How to ask the questions themselves so that it sounds good and attractive How to prepare for the ensuing discussion that is inevitable if the questions were well-asked With all this knowledge, you'll be shooting the right questions at the right time over and over again, and reap multiple benefits - not only will you get to the information you wanted, but you'll also appear as an eloquent, intelligent person, with high social skills.

Eloquence: Public Speaking Skills for Lawyers and Other Professionals - Rohan G Bansie & Jasmine Ball

Eloquence: Public Speaking Skills for Lawyers and Other Professionals

Rohan Bansie has combined his love of teaching with his love of psychology in this public speaking guide for professionals. The necessary skills and their development are informed by personality theory, specifically introversion and extroversion. As a busy professional, you will find this guide useful whether you identify as an introvert or extrovert. Bookmark pages, make notes in the margins, and highlight passages for quick reference before public speaking engagements or meetings with clients. "Studying lawyers are given plenty of opportunity to improve their writing skills, and there are certain conventions to writing legal documents, in order to prevent misinterpretation or possible loopholes, that are embedded in lawyers' brains. But there are few opportunities to improve one's public speaking ability." Eloquence is Bansie's answer to that shortcoming.

朝鲜战争 - 王树增

朝鲜战争

一个完整的主权国家,就这样被一个从来没有到过朝鲜的年轻的美国参谋在三十分钟的时间里,分割成了两半。就在前一天夜里,在战争西线清川江前线作战的中国军队事先没有任何预兆地突然消失了。自出国以来便在生死中搏斗的第三十八军的士兵们,脸上烟火斑驳,身上衣衫褴褛,他们围着这台收音机站在硝烟缭绕的公路上一动不动。那座使美军陆战一师无路可绕的桥,叫做水门桥。中国人民志愿军第一一六师三四七团七连司号员郑起于1951年9月30日收到一张红色请柬,上面写着:谨请光临——中央人民政府主席毛泽东。5月29日晚,朝鲜中部大雨如注,看见浑身湿透的洪学智,彭德怀用最低沉的声音说:出事了。就是把六十三军打光,也要在铁原坚守十五到二十天!西方侵略者几百年来只要在东方一个海岸架起几尊大炮就可以霸占一个国家的时代,一去不复返了!

El sentido del estilo - Steven Pinker

El sentido del estilo

Más que nunca, la moneda de nuestra vida social y cultural es la palabra escrita, desde Twitter y mensajes de texto hasta blogs, libros electrónicos y libros analógicos. Pero la mayoría de las guías de estilo no preparan a las personas para los desafíos de la escritura en el siglo XXI, representándolas como un campo minado de errores graves en lugar de una forma de dominio placentero. No logran lidiar con un hecho ineludible sobre el lenguaje: cambia con el tiempo, es adaptado por millones de escritores y oradores a sus necesidades. Cambios confusos en un mundo con declive moral en el que cada generación cree que los niños de hoy están degradando a la sociedad y se denostando el lenguaje. Una guía para el nuevo milenio, escribe Steven Pinker, tiene que ser diferente.

This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the skills of public speaking. Dale Breckenridge Carnegie was an American writer, lecturer, and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. Born into poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a massive bestseller that remains popular today. He also wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948), Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other peoples' behavior by changing one's behavior toward them.

Manual de periodismo - Carlos Marín

Manual de periodismo

33 años después de su primera edición, el Manual de periodismo de Carlos Marín conserva plena vigencia en este tiempo, vertiginoso y extraordinario, para acercarse a lo que Gabriel García Márquez llamó «el mejor oficio del mundo». Si el piso más reciente del edificio periodístico se amuebla de manera constante con novedades y términos tecnológicos, los cimientos, profundos, poderosos, continúan siendo los de siempre: el conocimiento de los géneros, las fuentes de información, las técnicas de redacción, las exigencias éticas, la actitud ante los personajes de la noticia. Producto de la experiencia y la reflexión , este Manual está escrito con un lenguaje didáctico y numerosos ejemplos , con definiciones y señalamientos tan actuales y enfáticos como el hecho de que ningún periodista del siglo XXI puede evadirse de las nuevas tecnologías y las redes sociales sin detrimento de su trabajo, como tampoco puede dejar atrás las herramientas y enseñanzas del periodismo clásico.

Ze smachtten. Smeekten zelfs. Maar wie verstaat er Kips?’ Volgens Youp alleen de kippen. Anders zouden de mensen deze dieren niet zo wreed behandelen.

The Activist's Guide to Public Relations - Rula Al-Nasrawi

The Activist's Guide to Public Relations

In this ebook, I use my 13+ years of media experience to supply activists with the tools they need to advocate for themselves. This ebook was hurriedly written at a time of peak humanitarian crisis and deep unrest. As I write this, Palestinians are facing what some are calling the second Nakba. A silent genocide is taking place in Congo. US police forces and military systems are stronger than ever and growing on our collective dime. It's a tough world out there and you want to make sure you're in your own corner in terms of posting, protesting and interviewing safely.

Balas por encargo - Juan Miguel Álvarez

Balas por encargo

El asesinato como forma de ganarse la vida es la pregunta fundamental de esta crónica. La investigación aborda la figura del sicario —con sus días siempre al borde del abismo— como ineluctable resultado de la descomposición social y de la incapacidad del Estado para evitar que sigan proliferando. El autor da cuenta de los primeros asesinos a sueldo en los albores del narcotráfico, desvela el origen y funcionamiento de las oficinas de cobro del Cartel del norte del Valle y de las más recientes bandas de «microtráfico» surgidas luego de la desmovilización paramilitar, para llegar a conclusiones que cimientan un marco alternativo de análisis.

Diario de Berlín. 1934-1941 - William L. Shirer

Diario de Berlín. 1934-1941

Diario de Berlín es un clásico, la mejor crónica de la Europa de entreguerras, un libro que sigue siendo de lectura obligada para conocer el período más oscuro y fascinante del siglo XX. Publicado por vez primera en 1941, la clarividencia, la pasión y la tensión de Diario de Berlín encontraron un público ávido de información y lo convirtieron de inmediato en un texto de referencia sobre el torrente de acontecimientos que se sucedían en Europa. La férrea censura de los nazis obligó a Shirer, corresponsal en Berlín de la CBS, a reservar lo mejor de su lucidez e inteligencia para su diario personal. Sus extraordinarias anotaciones constituyen la crónica periodística que no pudo transmitir. Iluminado por un profundo conocimiento de la vida alemana y europea de la época y la comprensión de las corrientes más profundas de la política internacional, en sus páginas presenciamos el arrogante avance del Tercer Reich y la imparable marcha de Europa hacia la guerra. Diario de Berlín demuestra que el periodismo a veces no solo es el primer borrador de la historia, sino su mejor versión. Reseñas: «Sin duda alguna el mejor libro sobre el ascenso del Tercer Reich. Una visión fascinante y estremecedora desde dentro de la Alemania de Hitler». Lamar Graham «Este extraordinario testimonio de la Alemania anterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial se lee como un thriller , un thriller especialmente desolador». Eric Larsson «El libro, enorme, de William Shirer empieza en Lloret de Mar, en los primeros días de 1934 (...) No he leído nada más vivo sobre el apogeo nazi que este Diario de Berlín . Escribe un periodista, inmenso, en medio de la peor tragedia de la humanidad (...) Junto a Edward Murrow inventa la radio en agónicas transmisiones, moral y técnicamente dificilísimas (...) Lo que dice no puede dar cuenta de lo que pasa. Pero cada día escribe secretamente las páginas de un diario, hondas, contenidas, minuciosas y veraces». Arcadi Espada, El Cultural «La peripecia de un periodista de raza en los convulsos años treinta tiene algo de emocionante. Entonces un profesional de la información rastreaba, contradecía las versiones oficiales, pateaba las calles incansable, estaba lleno de curiosidad y cultura, se enfrentaba a la censura con habilidad». David Trueba, El Periódico de Catalunya «El diario, el verdadero diario, nos devuelve un pasado tal como lo vieron los contemporáneos, antes de que fuera reescrito por el futuro». José Luis García Martín, ABCD las artes y las letras

En av oss - Åsne Seierstad

En av oss

Det var ingen främmande terrorgrupp som låg bakom den största attacken på Norge i fredstid, utan en ung man från Oslo. Ända sedan den 22 juli 2011 har Norge försökt att förstå vad som drev massmördaren. Med hjälp av unika källor tecknar Åsne Seierstad bilden av en man som i många år försökte passa in i samhällets ramar, men som till slut krossade dem på det mest brutala sätt. Det är här också berättelsen om de drabbade. Två systrar från Nesodden som hade glatt sig åt AUF:s sommarläger på Utøya, årets höjdpunkt. Och ett killgäng från Troms som rest söderut med samma mål. Bara några av dem skulle komma hem igen. Den prisbelönta författaren Åsne Seierstad har tidigare rapporterat från krig och konflikter världen över. Den 22 juli 2011 kom terrorn till hennes eget land. En av oss är den första bok hon skriver om Norge.

A collection of more than 400 country sayings from throughout the U.S. gathered in the 1980s and 1990s by the late Tom Ladwig, a journalist and librarian at the University of Missouri.

I Hear You Summary

I Hear You - The Surprisingly Simple Skill Behind Extraordinary Relationships - A Comprehensive Summary This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to strengthen and create new relationships in your life. Through using this book, it is my hope that your current relationships will be stronger than you ever thought imaginable and your future relationships will start off with the right foot forward! Your relationships can still improve and be strengthened. Also, there’s much room in your life for brand new bonds. Through this book, you’ll be able to learn the essentials of having lasting relationships in a simple manner. Relationships are fragile before they are robust; before they’re strong enough to withstand various challenges. Perhaps one of the reasons why you’ve downloaded this book is due to a weakening relationship. It may be that some of your relationships are already nearly ruined because of the factors enumerated below. These are among the top reasons why many relationships fail. They’re wide-encompassing, so it’s best to detect them as early as possible. Pride Pride is the root of many destructive things. Some say that pride can sometimes be helpful in pulling yourself up and defending yourself during a conflict. However, it’s a dangerous thing to play with. Many relationships are ruined when neither of the parties of sides is willing to approach the matter with humility. It’s not your fault you couldn’t make it to your friend’s party, not your fault you couldn’t visit your grumpy father. You may have caused someone great pain, yet are unwilling to seek his forgiveness. Maybe someone hurt you in the past and despite their sincere apology, forgiving them seems impossible. Perhaps there was a time when you needed help, yet you didn’t ask because you thought you could handle it. The project failed and you started to blame your friend for not sensing your need for assistance. As you can see, pride more often creates rifts between people than builds one’s character up. It’s something that you must do away with as soon as possible. Pride transcends immediate relationships and affects future bonds as well. If you want to create healthy and sturdy relationships in the future, seriously consider becoming more selfless and generous. Selfishness It’s quite clear that self-centeredness doesn’t aid in strengthening any type of relationship. Unfortunately, many are unaware of the long-lasting effects their selfishness has. When you continuously focus on your needs, not on those around you, your world becomes smaller. In your little world, you don’t have to worry about anyone else. In your little world, you’re the only inhabitant and it’s a very lonely existence. If you want to avoid weakening—and ultimately destroying—your relationships, it’s time to become selfless. Selfishness may... To be continued...

Breviario per un confuso presente - Corrado Augias

Breviario per un confuso presente

Manuale di sopravvivenza per ieri, oggi e domani. Stiamo attraversando una rivoluzione che per molti aspetti non ha precedenti: il salto dalla cultura della carta a quella digitale del web. Nessuno oggi è in grado di dire fin dove arriverà la civiltà elettronica i cui confini appaiono praticamente illimitati. È indispensabile - soprattutto per i piú giovani - essere consapevoli del passaggio epocale che il genere umano sta vivendo. Questo «Manuale» nasce dalla curiosità dell'autore, un po' anche dalla sua ansia, comunque dal tentativo di capire ciò che (ci) sta succedendo, quali le potenzialità dei cambiamenti piú recenti, quali quelli che verosimilmente ci aspettano. Potremmo definire i trenta capitoli di queste pagine un manuale per l'uso consapevole del presente, un antidoto per scongiurare il pericolo di perdere il passato e la sua memoria.

Två systrar - Åsne Seierstad

Två systrar

En oktoberdag 2013 försvinner plötsligt två välartade tonårsflickor från sitt hem i Norge. Deras föräldrar pendlar mellan panik och förtvivlan. Vad kan ha hänt dem? Så kommer chockbeskedet: de har gått över gränsen till Syrien. Men deras far är inte typen som ger upp. Orädd ger han sig in i det krigshärjade landet på jakt efter sina döttrar. Vilka är systrarna Ayan och Leila? Vad förde dem från en trygg tillvaro i ett litet norskt samhälle till kalifatet i Raqqa? I Två systrar ger sig Åsne Seierstad, den bästsäljande och kritikerrosade författaren till Bokhandlaren i Kabul och En av oss, i kast med en av vår tids viktigaste och mest komplicerade frågor. Varför radikaliseras muslimska ungdomar som växer upp i väst? Vilka är de människor som söker värvning i IS? Som få andra lyckas Åsne Seierstad komma nära inpå de människor hon skriver om. Två systrar är berättelsen om flickorna som reste, om en islamsk väckelse, om ett land i krig och om en familj som faller isär.

El prófugo que pasea por el mundo algunas tristezas pero siempre regresa, maltrecho, tras perder otra vez las mismas guerras: una familia que se deshace ante sus ojos, un corazón en perpetua clandestinidad, un país que se derrumba sobre su cabeza. Hay personas que son destinos y los destinos están escritos. Como este libro. Con la crueldad de un niño que trae noticias horribles con una sonrisa.

The Game Unplugged - AA. VV.

The Game Unplugged

Dopo il grande successo di The Game , in cui Alessandro Baricco ha raccontato l'insurrezione digitale, prende la parola chi nel Game è nato e cresciuto. 01_Raffaele Alberto Ventura 02_Francesco Guglieri 03_Pietro Minto 04_Philip Di Salvo 05_Andrea Zanni 06_Marina Pierri 07_Alessandro Lolli 08_Davide Coppo 09_Matteo De Giuli 10_Elisa Cuter 11_Valerio Mattioli 12_Francesca Coin Una pattuglia di giovani sommozzatori si avventura nelle acque profonde del Game, dove le correnti sono forti e cambiano direzione di continuo. Ognuno di loro illumina una porzione di quest'abisso, tracciando rotte sempre diverse che raccontano un universo complesso, in cui sapersi orientare è piú urgente che mai. Dalla retromania alle serie Tv, dall'inflazione del capitale simbolico alla celebrità di massa, dall'intelligenza collettiva ai bot. Tenetevi pronti: è un viaggio mozzafiato.

En antena. Libro de estilo del periodismo oral - Cadena Ser

En antena. Libro de estilo del periodismo oral

«Usted habrá escuchado hablar alguna vez del sonido SER. Sepa que es el conjunto de buenas prácticas que permite identificar a cualquiera de las emisoras de esta cadena de radio "a simple oído".» Antonio Hernández-Rodicio, director de Cadena SER En antena. Libro de estilo del periodismo oral detalla los hábitos necesarios para expresarse y tratar la información como el mejor periodista radiofónico y, en definitiva, para ejercer un periodismo eficaz, riguroso y ético. Aunque las normas y consejos que recoge nacieron con el fin de unificar el método, los principios y las formas expresivas que configuran la personalidad de una cadena emblemática, su utilidad rebasa la de ese y cualquier otro medio, y se extiende a cualquier persona que se vaya a poner delante de un micrófono, una cámara o un público. « La época en la que este libro sale al mercado se caracteriza por lo que eufemística y agramaticalmente sedenomina "era de la posverdad"; palabra esta última que ocupa el lugar de lo que veníamos llamando mentira, manipulación o bulo. » Por eso las empresas informativas y sus profesionales acreditados se hacen cada vez más imprescindibles ante ese maremágnum donde todo vale; y pueden constituirse en el refugio de las noticias contrastadas y de las narraciones elaboradas con una perspectiva ética al servicio de la sociedad. » Álex Grijelmo

重读:在咖啡馆遇见14个作家 - 唐诺

重读:在咖啡馆遇见14个作家

本书收录的十六篇文章,一句一字,都是作者数年来定时定点、在台北某家咖啡馆里写下的。无有节制的所思所想,关于那些应该一读再读的了不起著作,关于当今正在失落的幸福题材、价值理念,更关乎我们自身。面对书籍与人生的无限清单,重读,毋宁是一次中途的驻足和折返,想清楚自己究竟要接近什么、看到什么,以及为什么出发。因此,所谓的遇见,其实是一种保证的相遇:现实世界里好东西来得快消散得也快,你得上下求索,自备而来。
