"It is [a] belief in diversity and pluralism and the uniqueness of each person that underlies all my writings . . . " -from the Preface. Regarded as the most influential and widely read thinker on modern organizations and their management, Peter Drucker has also established himself as an unorthodox and independent analyst of politics, the economy, and society. A man of impressive scope and expertise, he has paved significant inroads in a number of key areas, sharing his knowledge and keen insight on everything from the plight of the employee and the effects of technology to the vicissitudes of the markets and the future of the new world order. Adventures of a Bystander is Drucker''s rich collection of autobiographical stories and vignettes, in which this legendary figure paints a portrait of his remarkable life, and of the larger historical realities of his time. In a style that is both unique and engaging, Drucker conveys his life story -from his early teen years in Vienna through the interwar years in Europe, the New Deal era, World War II, and the postwar period in America-through intimate profiles of a host of fascinating people he''s known through the years. Their personal histories are, as Drucker tells us, the beads for which his own life serves as the string. A colorful group, these diverse, often unpredictable, always multidimensional individuals were chosen "because each of them, in his or her own highly personal way, reflects and refracts the thirty crucial years from the end of World War I to the first post-World War II decade-the thirty years that largely formed the world in which we now live." An amazing pageant of characters, both famous and otherwise, springs from these pages, illuminating and defining one of the most tumultuous periods in world history. Along with bankers and courtesans, artists, aristocrats, prophets, and empire-builders, we meet members of Drucker''s own family and close circle of friends, among them such prominent figures as Sigmund Freud, Henry Luce, Alfred Sloan, John Lewis, and Buckminster Fuller. Playing to perfection their roles as those who "reflect and refract" the customs, beliefs, and attitudes of the times, these singular personalities lend Adventures of a Bystander a striking "you-are-there" feel. A brief encounter with Fre

Manuel Andújar, nacido Manuel Culebra (La Carolina, 1912 Madrid, 1994) es uno de los prosistas más destacados del exilio de 1939 y se le consideraba formado en el exilio mexicano. Entre su producción destaca la trilogia Visperas y su magnifica novela Historias de una historia, sobre la guerra civil, o la multitud de articulos, conferencias y correspondencia dedicados a la reinsercion de la España peregrina. En la decada de 1980 comenzo a reivindicar en sus escritos autobiograficos lo publicado en España antes de 1939. En ello, en esa prehistoria , insistia su amigo Jose L. Abellan en 1994. Atendiendo a esas indicaciones se procedio a la laboriosa localizacion de estos mas de quinientos articulos que aqui se reunen, asi como a señalar algunas de las con ...

Esta obra quiere ser un homenaje al científico más relevante que quizás haya tenido España.A Santiago Ramón y Cajal puede considerársele como uno de los científicos más importantes de toda la Historia de la Ciencia. Sus hallazgos son la piedra angular de las ciencias neurologicas y podemos afirmar que la Histologia se divide en un antes y un despues de Cajal.El tiempo ha demostrado que los argumentos indicados en su teoria neuronal son completamente validos y han constituido los pilares basicos de la moderna fisiologia del sistema nervioso central. Hoy en dia continua siendo uno de los autores mas citados en las 12.000 revistas medicas existentes.Los argumentos citados anteriormente constituyen, por si solos, elementos como para justificar esta obra sobre Santiago Ramon y Cajal, pero ademas en este año 2006 se cumplen 100 años de la concesion del Nobel de Medicina. Dicho acontecimiento supone una magnifica ocasion para poner de manifiesto la importante contribucion de Cajal a la Historia de la Ciencia en general y a la Medicina en particular. Para ello se ha contado tambien con la transcripcion de grandes articulos de autores como Gregorio Marañon, Jose Ortega y Gasset, Pedro Lain Entralgo y Jose Luis Gonzalez Quiros.

The exclusive world of one of the twentieth century's most glamorous and alluring women, as seen through her private homes and gardens. Nicknamed The Swan by Richard Avedon when he photographed her iconic portrait in 1953, Marella Agnelli is not only one of the great beauties of the last century, but also the most elegant and cultured of that exclusive club. Born the Neapolitan princess Marella Caracciolo di Castagneto, she became Marella Agnelli with her marriage to Gianni Agnelli, the Fiat industrialist. However, her innate style dates back to her New York internship with photographer Erwin Blumenfeld, and she was a Vogue contributor in the 1950s and '60s as well as appearing in its pages. One of the most photographed women of the jet-set society, she was captured by Avedon as well as Irving Penn, Henry Clarke, Horst, and Robert Doisneau, among others. Agnelli collaborated with the best artists and designers of her day, with her many residences as their palette. From Italian interior design legend Renzo Mongiardino-who worked on her New York apartment alongside a young Peter Marino-to Gae Aulenti, the important Italian architect, who built her homes in Turin and Marrakech, Agnelli created a series of extraordinary houses and gardens, full of timeless elegance, invaluable art, and ground-breaking decorating ideas. With ten residences spread throughout Turin, Rome, Milan, New York, St. Moritz, and Marrakech, ranging from regally classic villas to ultramodern apartments, her impeccable taste shines through in these gorgeous interiors and gardens. One of the famous modern fairy tales of love, glamour, and heartbreak, Marella Agnelli has become an icon of our times.
