Product Description: In these tough times when millions of people do not have savings, they live paycheck to paycheck; times when they don't have control of their finances, and stress about debt or even lose what little they have, it is necessary to start building a solid base and start looking towards achieving financial freedom. In this personal finance self-help guide, Xavier's goal is to help those who are not ready to face financial crisis as the one's we are living during these hard times. We are living one of the greatest economic crashes in decades, with jobs and investments lost, foreclosures and bankruptcies up. Millions of Hispanics feel useless in the midst of this financial chaos, and are overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. However, these are also times of opportunity to start fresh and put order to one's personal finances and build solidity in order to withstand another economic tsunami. Four Steps to Wealth starts from that premise, and teaches in a refreshingly direct and sincere manner, how we can build our personal finances from the bottom up. Step 1, concentrate on what is necessary; Step 2, protect what we have, prepare for the unexpected and obtain security; Step 3, cautiously plan investments and a retirement plan; and Step 4, reach the desired independence. He walks readers step-by-step on a path towards financial freedom. Description in Spanish: La riqueza en cu4tro pisos es el manual de autoayuda financiera para los Hispanos.

Product Description: From the best-selling author of The Bookseller of Kabul, an account of thirteen ordinary Serbian people and how their lives changed before, during, and after the fall of Milosevic. From beloved international reporter Åsne Seierstad comes a remarkable exploration of the lives of ordinary Serbs under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic-during the dramatic events leading up to his fall, and finally in the troubled years that have followed. Seierstad traveled extensively through Serbia between 1999 and 2004, following the lives of people from across the political spectrum. Her moving and perceptive account follows nationalists, Titoists, Yugonostalgics, rock stars, fugitives, and poets. Seierstad brings her acclaimed attention to detail to bear on the lives of those whom she encounters in With Their Backs to the World, as she creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation made up of so many different-and often conflicting-hopes, dreams, and points of view. |

Click Here | Product Description: The Yugoslav crisis - armed conflict, ethnic cleansing and the reverberating ideas and mindsets - has been going on for more than ten years. This text, written by authors who have lived through these social conflicts, explores the roots of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. It deals with issues which include the institutional frameworks of ethnicity and nationalism; the input of the church, science, literature and sports; specific catalysts of the conflict; and the role of the political actors, students, the ruling party and the media. It examines why and how the violent option of settling disputes and conflicts on the territory of Yugoslavia is being accepted. |

Click Here | Product Description: During thirteen years in power, Slobodan Milosvevic and his cohorts plunged Yugoslavia into wars of ethnic cleansing, leading to the murder of thousands of civilians. Their regime also subverted the nation's culture, twisted the political mainstream into a virulent nationalist mold, sapped the economy through war and the criminalization of the free market, returned to gender relations of a bygone era, and left the state so dysfunctional that its peripheries - Kosovo, Vojvodina, and Montenegro - have been struggling to maximize their distance from Belgrade. The essays in this book reveal a Serbia that is still traumatized from Milosvevic's rule and groping toward redefining its place in the world. |
