Las descarnadas, inspiradoras y emocionantes memorias del icono y legendario ganador de varios premios Oscar, Sylvester Stallone, sobre su increíble camino al estrellato y la mejor historia jamás contada de un ganador contra todo pronostico.En los cincuenta años transcurridos desde que Sylvester Stallone subio corriendo los escalones del Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, el mismo y esos escalones se han convertido en simbolos de resiliencia y determinacion, y han inspirado a millones de personas de todo el mundo para perseguir sus sueños. En Los escalones, Stallone relata como persiguio sus propios sueños. Culminando un proceso de reflexion de decadas, Sly cuenta sus origenes -un nacimiento dificil, una infancia aun mas dificil, años de problemas en el colegio por no ser comprendido- y explica como la historia real de una vida exitosa se construye afrontando, asumiendo y, en ultimo termino, superando nuestras dificultades. La clave esta en la distancia que estamos dispuestos a recorrer y en los pasos que debemos dar para pasar de donde estamos a donde queremos llegar.En una narracion enmarcada entre su llegada a Nueva York en 1969 y el triunfo de Rocky en los Oscar de 1977, Sly teje un vivido y apasionante relato de lucha, subsistencia y, finalmente, exito. Escribe sobre sus inicios y tambien sobre los años posteriores, asi como sobre la persistencia, creatividad y resiliencia que lo llevaron no solamente a crear Rocky, sino a labrarse una carrera repleta de papeles iconicos. Los escalones constituye un testimonio de la extraordinaria vida de Stallone y una profunda meditacion sobre la importancia de la fuerza de voluntad, la vision y el trabajo duro.

Fox puede contar.A principios de 1985, Michael J. Fox era una de las mayores estrellas de la television. Su mundo estaba a punto de dar la vuelta, pero solo si lograba sobrevivir a un tipo de pluriempleo inaudito en Hollywood. Los dias de Fox ya estaban dedicados a ensayar y grabar la exitosa comedia Enredos de familia, pero entonces se le presento la oportunidad de su vida. Pronto dedico sus noches a una nueva pelicula de aventuras y viajes en el tiempo dirigida por Robert Zemeckis y producida por Steven Spielberg: Regresoalfuturo. Comedia durante el dia, pelicula por la noche, dia tras dia, durante meses.Los desplazamientos nocturnos de Fox desde el estudio de grabacion de Paramount hasta la parte trasera de los estudios Universal, de un trabajo de ensueño a otro, se convertirian en su propio viaje continuo en el espacio-tiempo. Fue en este portal del tiempo donde Alex P. Keaton cedio el testigo a Marty McFly, mientras Michael J. Fox intentaba conciliar el sueño. La valentia de Alex, el talento de Marty y el virtuosismo comico de Fox se unieron para crear algo realmente especial.En Future Boy, Fox cuenta la extraordinaria historia de interpretar dos papeles historicos al mismo tiempo, una parte de la historia del entretenimiento que nunca se ha contado. A partir de nuevas entrevistas con el reparto y el equipo de ambos proyectos, el resultado es una historia vivida y reveladora de los logros creativos de un icono entrañable y de una pelicula, convertida en mito, que ha traspasado generaciones y que nos sigue fascinando.

One of the attractions of painting outdoors is the challenge of capturing the spirit of a place changing light, weather and transient conditions demand particular painting skills if they are to be interpreted effectively. Leading painter David Curtis works on location, in all weathers, observing and capturing the subtle effects of light and mood. Oil paint is as good for painting on site as it is for large-scale painting in the studio; it is remarkably responsive; can be applied in many different ways; and it allows time to assess and modify work in progress. In this fascinating book, David Curtis shows how he achieves such expressive and original results using drawings, paintings and stage-by-stage examples. He gives detailed explanations of his two main working methods for plein-air paintings and for studio compositions as well as plenty of helpful guidance and advice on choosing materials, exploring techniques, selecting ideas, composition, colour and tone and associated topics. Drawing skills and interpreting the qualities of light are other key issues that he deals with, while his wonderfully evocative landscapes, coastal scenes, interiors and figure compositions provide much inspiration.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was an innovator.He is undoubtedly one of Scotlands most celebrated architects. His astounding buildings creatively reinterpreted the past and opened the way for the Modern Movement. Architecture was his first love, though he was also a highly accomplished artist and designer of interiors, furniture, metalwork, glass and textiles. In addition his graphic design work, using nature and organic plant forms, made him an early exponent of Symbolism and Art Nouveau. In the later years of his life he produced watercolour paintings of intense power and subtlety. His extraordinary work is still regarded today as innovative and modern, and continues to astonish and delight art lovers everywhere.

Where is Charles Simonds? Throughout the 1970s, his diminutive Dwellings, tiny architectural ruins of an imaginary civilization, could be found throughout the crumbling infrastructure of downtown New York. Preoccupied with the relationship between the grown and the built, the archaeological and the urban, Simonds shared friendship and ideas with Gordon Matta-Clark and Robert Smithson. Like Lucy Lippard, with whom he lived during that decade, Simonds believed in combining art and activism, always preferring what he called the "real world" to the art world. Yet despite taking part in many of the seminal exhibitions and art events of 1970s New York, Simonds has left few traces on art history. In order to explain Simondss absence while simultaneously arguing for his central place within it, Jules Pelta Feldman reconsiders the decades self-conception, finding that Simonds exemplifies much of what has been ignored in 1970s artand much of what establishes it as a unique period of experimentation and possibility.

Your Institutions Mission Is Key to Its Flourishing For church-related colleges and universities, a mission statement is a powerful tool. It communicates what is distinctive about each institution and its relationship to its faith tradition. Yet having a clear and compelling mission statement is not enough. Universities face ongoing challenges in stewarding their missions in a rapidly changing culture.In A Mission Held in Trust, leading administrators and educators from both Protestant and Catholic institutions provide wisdom on mission alignment in higher education. Mission is designed to be held in trust by members of a community and stewarded for the next generation.Contributors shed light on a number of topics to help church-related colleges and universities advance their missions, including: how mission statements serve as organizing rationales for exercising institutional identity; challenges to mission in a post-secular cultural context; issues of law, lobbying, messaging, and finance; the theological, philosophical, and legal characteristics of fiduciary service; and how students, educators, board members, and other stakeholders are formed for service. This book brings together a distinguished roster of higher education leaders from presidents of Notre Dame, Baylor, Biola, Pepperdine, Franciscan, Samford, and Wheaton to senior academic and student-life experts spanning Catholic, evangelical, and ecumenical institutions. Their combined experience in leadership, formation, and ministry offers readers practical, hard-won wisdom they can trust.In the midst of uncertainties and change, mission remains a sacred trustinherited from predecessors and passed along to successors. A Mission Held in Trust is a unique ecumenical resource providing wisdom and encouragement for leaders seeking faithfulness in these vital vocations.
