A thorough exploration of Salvatore Ferragamo’s life and work: an inescapable opportunity to analyze the importance of his creativity and entrepreneurial instinct. One hundred years have passed since Salvatore Ferragamo opened his first store, the Hollywood Boot Shop, opposite the recently built Grauman’s Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. This set the seal on the success he achieved in America, where he had emigrated in 1915. He was perfectly integrated in the film world of those years, as important directors entrusted him with the design and creation of shoes for the film stars. His customers were movie actresses and actors, producers, and directors, who could no longer do without the elegant and comfortable footwear of the “shoemaker to the stars,” as the young man from Irpinia was nicknamed. Furthermore, his persona had a certain standing in Hollywood: he sat on the city’s executive committees and lived on the same street as Charlie Chaplin. On May 4, 1923, Holly Leaves magazine pointed out just how much Ferragamo was doing for the city and its residents.

Entonces, ¿por qué importa cuidar el alma? Porque —para mí y lo que he aprendido con los años que llevo estudiando el tema, a ti te invito a que saques tus propias conclusiones el alma, el espíritu gue vive dentro de cada uno de nosotros, es una conciencia sagrada inmortal, vinculada a la conciencia universal que domina los cielos. Así, el alma sabe, y de ella vienen las buenas ideas para crear, la intuición, las respuestas, esas que solo podemos encontrar dentro de nosotros.

Richard Overy examina en este absorbente libro la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde una perspectiva completamente nueva, analizando este devastador conflicto como una guerra entre imperios que puso un violento a casi un siglo de expansión imperial y que alcanzó su culminación con las ambiciones de tres potencias emergentes —Japón, Italia y Alemania— antes de convertirse en el enfrentamiento militar global y más costoso en vidas de la historia de la humanidad. Con un absoluto dominio de la bibliografía y las fuentes históricas, Overy se desplaza por todos los escenarios bélicos, desde Europa hasta el sudeste asiático y el Pacífico, y narra el amargo precio que pagaron cuantos se vieron envueltos en la lucha, tanto en los frentes de batalla como en la retaguardia, así como la excepcional brutalidad de los crímenes y atrocidades que marcaron los combates y sus consecuencias. Pocos historiadores como Richard Overy tienen la capacidad de compendiar y narrar los datos y las innumerables historias de un conflicto que cambió definitivamente el orden mundial y nuestro presente.

With new photographs of houses steeped in the period revival tradition, from 1838 to today, not since Rizzoli’s Santa Barbara Style (2001) has a book so eloquently captured the distinctive splendor of this seaside paradise. Known worldwide for the Santa Barbara style, the town epitomizes a type of building at once elegant and suffused with poetry. At its heart is the historic downtown, featuring white-washed Mediterranean-style stucco buildings with tile roofs and the iconic Santa Barbara Mission of 1786, whose austere beauty set the tone for all that followed. From its earliest days, the influence of this place has been felt and has since radiated across the sunbelt; it continues to be a model of emulation and inspiration. But it is the houses and the dream of living in Santa Barbara and its sister communities of Ojai, Carpinteria, Summerland, Goleta, and Montecito that casts the most profound spell.

We all know that Santa makes everyone’s dreams come true every Christmas, but it turns out that he needs a little help getting into the holiday spirit himself. Instead of letting Santa get right back to work after he returns home to the North Pole on Christmas morning, his loyal elves want to make sure he experiences the same Christmas cheer he provides for others. With the perfect tree, lots of delicious treats, and, of course, presents, Santa experiences the magic of Christmas for the very first time.
