In 1997 Linda McCarthy Shum had a stable teaching career and a happy marriage with her partner Greg. Living in regional Queensland, Linda was a woman of deep faith with a family of grown children and grandchildren on the way. She was 49 and her life was fine. But Linda's life had not always been so settled. Throughout her childhood she had been made to feel unwanted by a mother battling her own troubles. This cold beginning to Linda's life journey, and the sad cruelty she had just read about in a newsletter, would soon bring her life undone. The article spoke of Chinese babies being abandoned and dying because of a lack of human contact. The unwanted children were seen as 'throwaway kids' and armies of them were filling up the orphanages of China. Linda Shum was appalled. A year later, on her first-ever trip overseas, she visited an orphanage filled with sick and dying children, the hidden human aftermath of China's One-Child Policy. AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HOW IT IS NEVER TOO LATE FOR ANYONE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE For almost two decades, while China busily developed into a wealthy economy, Linda has travelled back and forth from her home, raising money to better care for the orphans. Battling distrusting government officials and a constant lack of funds, Linda has saved countless little lives, while also establishing a China Baby Love school in the orphanage and a foster-care program.

  • EL OBJETIVO DE BOURNE De Robert Ludlum Por Eric Van Lustbader
    EL OBJETIVO DE BOURNE de Robert Ludlum por Eric Van Lustbader Sobre El objetivo de Bourne: «Sus capítulos finales dejarán al lector sin aliento.» Book Reporter Sobre la serie Bourne: «Hazte a un lado, 007, porque Bourne ha vuelto.» Daily Mirror «Una fuerza de la naturaleza.» New York Times «Ni siquiera la muerte de Robert Ludlum ha podido detener a Jason Bourne.» Publishers Weekly EL ARGUMENTO Adiestrado en el ultrasecreto programa Tradstone, Jason Bourne es la máquina de matar perfecta. Pero no es la única que salió de aquella operación de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos. Ahora, después de que la marchante de arte Tracy Atherton muera entre sus brazos, el ex espía intenta descubrir las claves que esconde un misterioso anillo, quizá la puerta de entrada a un tesoro de leyenda. Pero para ello deberá enfrentarse a su propia amnesia, a la organización Severus Domna y a Leonid Arkadin, un mercenario ruso formado también en Treadstone… y, por tanto, capaz de mostrarse tan expeditivo, invencible y letal como él. Sólo puede quedar uno. La nueva aventura de Bourne es un festival de acción sin límites que atraviesa cuatro continentes para desembocar en el más fascinante thriller arqueológico. Una vez más, Eric Van Lustbader se ha puesto a la legendaria altura de su amigo y maestro Robert Ludlum. EL AUTOR ERIC VAN LUSTBADER Nacido en 1946 en el Greenwich Village neoyorkino y licenciado en Sociología por el Columbia College, fue profesor de escuela, periodista musical y ejecutivo de productoras discográficas. Antes de tomar el relevo de su amigo Robert Ludlum con la saga de Jason Bourne había escrito ya una veintena de best sellers, entre los que se encuentra La hechicera, El ninja blanco y El anillo de los cinco dragones.

  • Boys Will Be Boys
    PRAISE FOR BOYS WILL BE BOYS ‘A damning look at toxic masculinity. It’s the most important thing you’ll read this year.’ Elle Australia ‘Boys Will Be Boys is a timely contribution to feminist literature. Her central point is clear and confronting, and it represents something of a challenge… Ferocious, incisive, an effective treatise.’ Australian Book Review ‘A piercing gaze at contemporary patriarchy, gendered oppression and toxic masculinity.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘A truly vital piece of social commentary from Australia’s fiercest feminist, Boys Will Be Boys should be shoved into the hands of every person you know. Clementine Ford has done her research—despite what her angry detractors would have you believe—and spits truths about toxic masculinity and the dangers of the patriarchy with passion and a wonderfully wry sense of humour. Read it, learn from it, and share it—this book is absolute GOLD!’ AU Review, 16 Best Books of 2018 ‘Boys Will Be Boys is an impassioned call for societal change from a writer who has become a stand-out voice of her generation (and has the trolls to prove it) and an act of devotion from a mother to her son.’ Readings ‘With pithy jokes and witty commentary, this is an engrossing read, and Ford’s spirited tone evokes passion for change.’ Foreword Reviews ‘Clementine Ford reveals the fragility behind “toxic masculinity” in Boys Will Be Boys.’ The Conversation ‘Boys Will Be Boys highlights the need to refocus on how we’re raising our boys to be better men. The ingrained toxic masculinity within society does just as much damage to our boys as it does to our girls, and this book highlights how to change that.’ Fernwood Magazine PRAISE FOR FIGHT LIKE A GIRL ‘Her brilliant book could light a fire with its fury.
