Before Ernesto Che Guevara became ''Che,'' before he traveled Latin America, before he joined Fidel in Cuba, he was a medical school student. In 1956 he wrote to his mother before leaving to go and join the guerilla expedition to Cuba: ''My path seems to be slowly but surely diverging from that of clinical medicine, but not so far that I have lost my nostalgia for hospitals. What I told you about the professorship in physiology was a lie, but not a big one. It was a lie because I never planned to accept it, but the offer was real and there was a strong possibility that they were going to give it to me, as I had an interview and everything. Anyway, that''s all history. Saint Carlos Karl Marx has made a new recruit.'' He had started a book on the role of the doctor in Latin America, a work he fully intended to continue writing. It remained incomplete at the time of his death in Bolivia at the age of thirty-nine, just eleven years later.

''A Latin American James Dean or Jack Kerouac'' Washington Post''It''s true; Marxists just wanna have fun... a revolutionary bestseller'' GuardianAt the age of twenty-three, Ernesto ''Che'' Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado set out from their native Argentina to explore their continent, with only a single 1939 Norton motorcycle to carry them, nicknamed La Poderosa (''the powerful one''). They travelled not to visit the usual tourist attractions, but to meet ordinary people and understand Latin American life. In amidst the tales of youthful adventures - of women, wine, thrilling escapes and the power of friendship - the young Che also learns first-hand about poverty, philosophy and philosophy and forms himself into the man who would become the world''s most famous and admired revolutionary and freedom fighter. ''For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future'' Time

Kniha Che je v slovenskom prostredí doposiaľ najkomplexnejším dielom o slávnom latinskoamerickom revolucionárovi Ernestovi Che Guevarovi, z ktorého sa stal symbol revolćie a odporu proti americkému imperializmu. Spolu s Fidelom Castrom vybojoval kubánsku revolúciu (1956 – 1959), neskôr viedol partizánske oddiely aj v Afrike (1965) a Bolívii (1966 – 1967(, kde ho za asistencie americkej CIA zavraždili, čím však z neho urobili mučeníka pre ľavičiarov a národno-oslobodzovacie hnutia po celom svete. Stal sa inšpiráciou pre milióny mladých ľudí, pretože obetoval život za svoje ideály. Ľuboš Blaha v knihe opisuje búrlivý priebeh Guevarovho života s dôrazom na jeho politické myslenie. Analyzuje aj jeho dielo, osobitne teóriu foco a víziu nového človeka. Autor interpretuje Che Guevaru ako typického predstaviteľa tzv. romantickej ľavice, ktorú kladie do protikladu k tzv. technokratickej ľavici. Zároveň spochybňuje tézu, že Che Guevara bol predstaviteľom libertariánskej Novej ľavice, naopak, v knihe dokladá, že jeho politické názory patria do klasického marxisticko-leninského prúdu a jeho myšlienky možno impretovať aj ako súčasť širšieho ideového prúdu národnej ľavice. Všetky knihy Ľuboša Blahu sú nanajvýš príťažlivé... Svojej úlohy predstaviť Che Guevaru sa zhostil nielen faktograficky, nielen filozoficky, ale aj pokusom o prekonanie dichotómie medzi romantickými a technokratickými silami politiky...Knihu odporúčam všetkým, ktorým je ľavicové myslenie blízke bez ohľadu na vek, ale najmä mládeži...Blahov text prečítate na jeden dúšok. Prof.PhDr. Jozef Lysý, CSc.Za obohajúce považujem, že Ľuboš Blaha neuvažuje o Guevarovi izolovane ako o osobnosti Latinskej Ameriky, ale hľadá prepojenia a inšpirácie platné pre Ďalšie geografické okruhy, v našom prípade najmä Slovenska...Autor využíva značné množstvo literatúry, o ktoré opiera svoju analýzu a rozprávačsky pútavým štýlom Che Guevaru približuje širšiemu okruhu čitateľov.

Román předního argentinského spisovatele a bývalého velvyslance v Československu oživuje příběh pobytu Ernesta Che Guevary v Československu , který je dodnes zahalen tajemstvím. V životopise Ernesta Che Guevary stále zůstává neprobádaná významná kapitola: jeho tajný pobyt v Praze v první polovině roku 1966. Revolucionář tu pod falešnou totožností a se změněným vzhledem strávil několik měsíců po krachu své revoluční mise v Kongu a před posledním tažením v Bolívii, kde 9. října 1967 skončil i jeho život. Z Prahy se vší pravděpodobností řídil přípravu bolivijské akce, která se podle jeho představ měla stát ohniskem revoluční přeměny Latinské Ameriky a definitivního světového střetu mezi kapitalismem a socialismem. Nejasné epizody z Guevarova života využil argentinský prozaik Abel Posse k pokusu přiblížit se revolucionářově osobnosti a jeho každodennímu životu v Praze. Guevara se tehdy skutečně stýkal v kavárně Slavia s mladými českými hispanisty a studenty pražské Filosofické fakulty, kteří ho zasvěcovali do socialistické reality, přesto zůstává v souvislosti s jeho utajenou návštěvou mnoho nezodpovězených otázek: Konfrontoval se Guevara s každodenností československého socialismu? A jak to, že neexistují žádné Guevarovy osobní záznamy z Prahy, jestliže si skutečný Che za každé situace vedl deník, psal úvahy a poznámky?

„Ak sa k nám smrť priblíži, privítajme ju s odhodlaním. Tak zomiera partizán.“ Tieto slová vyriekol Ernesto Che Guevara vo chvíli, keď vojaci bolívijského diktátora Barrientosa zlikvidovali jeho bojový oddiel. Vedenie CIA poslalo do krajiny svojho agenta a zabijaka Félixa Rodriguéza. Spolu s bolívijským ministrom riadil poľovačku na Che Guevaru. Chcel zmeniť svet, vytvoriť nového človeka, bojovať proti americkému imperializmu a pomáhať národom oslobodiť sa od kolonialistov. Partizánsky oddiel v blízkosti dedinky La Higuera vojská obkľúčili, Che Guevaru v prestrelke ranili a seržant Mário Terán veliteľa partizánov zblízka odstrelil. Autor pátral po stopách Che Guevaru v Havane, Nikarague, Paríži, Moskve, Washingtone a v Miami na Floride. Pri písaní mu pomohli aj postrehy bývalého spravodajcu Československého rozhlasu v Lime Valentína Benčaťa. Dlho sa nevedelo, že Che Guevara žil krátko aj neďaleko Prahy. Na príbehu Ernesta Che Guevaru ani čas neubral nič z jeho revolučnej legendy. Tá napriek všetkým ideologickým obratom žije naďalej. Stal sa ikonou revolúcie, svojimi činmi stále inšpiruje a fascinuje milióny mladých ľudí na celom svete.

With unprecedented access to the Cuban Government''s archives and total co-operation from Che''s widow, Aleida March, as well as access to hitherto unpublished documents, including several of Che''s personal diaries, this biography of one of history''s most fascinating figures by critically-acclaimed New York Times journalist Jon Lee Anderson is truly definitive and monumental - not least because its creation solved a twenty-eight-year-old mystery: the whereabouts of Che Guevara''s body...''Masterly and absorbing'' -- The Sunday Times''Brilliantly evoked... The portrait is now as complete as it will ever be'' -- The Times Literary Supplement''Absorbing and convincing... an indispensable work of contemporary history'' ? Guardian''Probably the best biography I have read'' -- ***** Reader review''It''s hard to imagine that this work can be bettered'' -- ***** Reader review''Simply outstanding'' -- ***** Reader review''A terrific read and genuinely the type of book you can''t put down after you start reading......'' -- ***** Reader review***************************************************************A myth in his own lifetime; an international martyr-figure upon his death; a revolutionary fighter; a military strategist; a social philosopher; an economist; a medical doctor; a friend and confidant of Fidel Castro.Che Guevara''s dream was an epic one - to unite Latin America and the rest of the developing world through armed revolution, and to end once and for all the poverty, injustice and petty nationalisms that had bled it for centuries. In the end Che failed in his quest but he is recognized as that one-in-a-million personality who just might have pulled it off.Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life shuttles between the revolutionary capitals of Havana and Algiers to the battlegrounds of Bolivia and the Congo; from the halls of power in Moscow and Washington to the exile havens of Miami, Mexico and Guatemala, in a gripping tale of revolution, international intrigue and covert operations. It has an epic sweep as it evokes an era of tumultuous change, describing major events like the Bay of Pigs invasion, the October Missile crisis and Kennedy''s assassination, weaving in a cast of historic personalities including Castro, Kennedy, Kruschev, Mao Tse-tung, Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.With its painstaking research, never-before-seen documentation and compelling narrative, this is really the ultimate biography of a unique man.

Che Guevara''s legend is unmatched in the modern world. Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of 39, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally famed icon, as revered as he is controversial. A Marxist ideologue, he sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare – and has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of change. In Che: A Revolutionary Life, Jon Lee Anderson and José Hernández reveal the man behind the myth, creating a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. Adapted from Anderson''s masterwork, Che transports us from young Ernesto''s medical school days to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution; from his place of power alongside Castro to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia. Through renowned Mexican artist José Hernández''s drawings, we feel the bullets fly past in Cuba; smell the smoke of Castro''s cigars; and scrutinize the face of the weary guerrilla as he is called ‘Comandante’ for the first time. With astonishing precision, colour, and drama, Che makes us first-hand witnesses to the revolutionary life and times of this historic figure. Combining Anderson''s unprecedented access and research with Hernández''s emotionally gripping artwork, Che resurrects the man for a new generation of readers.

Film režiséra Stevena Soderbergha odhalil dvě zásadní etapy života Ernesta Guevary zvaného Che. První z nich zachycuje kubánskou revoluci a období od vzniku Castrovy partyzánské skupiny v pohoří Sierra Maestra až po pád Havany. Druhé z nich líčí období partyzánské války v Bolívii, kde byl Che zajat a popraven. Tento dokument je však výrazně ucelenější. Che Guevara za svými revolučními ideály ukrýval mnohem temnější stránky. Když byl po vítězství kubánské revoluce jmenován prezidentem kubánské národní banky a současně ministrem financí a ministrem průmyslu, dokázal záhy svými reformami kubánské hospodářství zcela zruinovat. Retrospektivní dokument nabízí divákům neotřelejší pohled na tohoto jihoamerického revolucionáře, který i dnes zůstává vůdčím představitelem a zosobněním marxistických myšlenek.

James Loeb (1867–1933), one of the great patrons and philanthropists of his time, left many enduring legacies both to America, where he was born and educated, and to his ancestral Germany, where he spent the second half of his life. Organized in celebration of the sesquicentenary of his birth, the James Loeb Biennial Conferences were convened to commemorate his achievements in four areas: the Loeb Classical Library (2017), collection and connoisseurship (2019), and after pandemic postponement, psychology and medicine (2023), and music (2025). While the focus of the third conference shifted from Loeb as practitioner to Loeb as patient, the connection between his philanthropy and his personal experience remains clear and fascinating. Loeb suffered from the illness known today as severe bipolar disorder, for which he was treated by Emil Kraepelin (1856–1926), a pioneer in interdisciplinary brain and psychiatric research. Starting from the extensive records of this treatment, the volume’s contributors examine the history of mental illness from antiquity to the present in light of Loeb’s own condition, research, and contributions to medical humanism and psychiatric medicine.

Since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in early 2020, many individuals infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have continued to experience lingering symptoms for months or even years following infection. Some symptoms can affect a person's ability to work or attend school for an extended period of time. Consequently, in 2022, the Social Security Administration requested that the National Academies convene a committee of relevant experts to investigate and provide an overview of the current status of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of long-term health effects related to Long COVID.

The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families.

Research shows that that children learn science and engineering subjects best by engaging from an early age in the kinds of practices used by real scientists and engineers. By doing science and engineering, children not only develop and refine their understanding of the core ideas and crosscutting concepts of these disciplines, but can also be empowered to use their growing understanding to make sense of questions and problems relevant to them. This approach can make learning more meaningful, equitable, and lasting. Using cases and shorter examples, Rise and Thrive with Science shows what high-quality teaching and learning in science and engineering can look like for preschool and elementary school children. Through analyses of these examples and summaries of research findings, the guide points out the key elements of a coherent, research-grounded approach to teaching and learning in science and engineering. This guide also discusses the kinds of support that educators need to implement effective and equitable instruction for all children. This book will provide inspiration for practitioners at the preschool and elementary levels to try new strategies for science and engineering education, whatever their level of experience. Rise and Thrive with Science will be an essential guide for teachers as they organize instruction to enable young children to carry out their own science investigations and engineering design projects, determine the kinds of instruction that lead to meaningful learning, and try to engage every one of their students.

Millions of Americans use e-cigarettes. Despite their popularity, little is known about their health effects. Some suggest that e-cigarettes likely confer lower risk compared to combustible tobacco cigarettes, because they do not expose users to toxicants produced through combustion. Proponents of e-cigarette use also tout the potential benefits of e-cigarettes as devices that could help combustible tobacco cigarette smokers to quit and thereby reduce tobacco-related health risks. Others are concerned about the exposure to potentially toxic substances contained in e-cigarette emissions, especially in individuals who have never used tobacco products such as youth and young adults. Given their relatively recent introduction, there has been little time for a scientific body of evidence to develop on the health effects of e-cigarettes. Public Health Consequences of E-Cigarettes reviews and critically assesses the state of the emerging evidence about e-cigarettes and health.

There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.

The field of health literacy has evolved from early efforts that focused on individuals to its current recognition that health literacy is a multidimensional team and system function. Health literacy includes system demands and complexities as well as individual skills and abilities. While communicating in a health-literate manner is truly important for everyone, it can be especially important for those with mental or behavioral health issues and for the systems and teams that interact with them and treat these individuals. The purpose of the workshop, which was held on July 11, 2018, in Washington, DC, was to explore issues associated with effective communication with individuals with mental or behavioral health issues and to identify ways in which health literacy approaches can facilitate communication. In particular, the workshop aimed to gain a better understanding of how behavioral health and mental health concerns can adversely affect communications between providers and patients and their families. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Volcanic eruptions are common, with more than 50 volcanic eruptions in the United States alone in the past 31 years. These eruptions can have devastating economic and social consequences, even at great distances from the volcano. Fortunately many eruptions are preceded by unrest that can be detected using ground, airborne, and spaceborne instruments. Data from these instruments, combined with basic understanding of how volcanoes work, form the basis for forecasting eruptions—where, when, how big, how long, and the consequences. Accurate forecasts of the likelihood and magnitude of an eruption in a specified timeframe are rooted in a scientific understanding of the processes that govern the storage, ascent, and eruption of magma. Yet our understanding of volcanic systems is incomplete and biased by the limited number of volcanoes and eruption styles observed with advanced instrumentation. Volcanic Eruptions and Their Repose, Unrest, Precursors, and Timing identifies key science questions, research and observation priorities, and approaches for building a volcano science community capable of tackling them. This report presents goals for making major advances in volcano science.

Medicine of the Prophet is a combination of religious and medical information, providing advice and guidance on the two aims of medicine—the preservation and restoration of health—in careful conformity with the teachings of Islam as enshrined in the Qur''an and the hadith, or sayings of the Prophet. Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 751AH/1350AD) as part of his work Zad al-Ma''ad, this book is a mine of information on the customs and sayings of the Prophet, as well as on herbal and medical practices current at the time of the author.In bringing together these two aspects, Ibn Qayyim has produced a concise summary of how the Prophet''s guidance and teaching can be followed, as well as how health, sickness and cures were viewed by Muslims in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The original Arabic text offers an authoritative compendium of Islamic medicine and still enjoys much popularity in the Muslim world. This English translation is a more complete presentation than has previously been available and includes verification of all hadith references.Medicine of the Prophet will appeal not only to those interested in alternative systems of health and medicine, but also to people wishing to acquaint themselves with, or increase their knowledge of, hadith and the religion and culture of Islam.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringAncient Greece is often considered to be the birthplace of science and medicine, and the explanation of natural phenomena without recourse to supernatural causes. The early natural philosophers - lovers of wisdom concerning nature - sought to explain the order and composition of the world, and how we come to know it. They were particularly interested in what exists and how it is ordered: ontology and cosmology. They were also concerned with how we come to know (epistemology) and how best to live (ethics). At the same time, the scientific thinkers of early Greece and Rome were also influenced by ideas from other parts of the world, and incorporated aspects of Egyptian, Babylonian, and Indian science and mathematics in their studies.In this Very Short Introduction Liba Taub gives an overview of the major developments in early science between the 8th century BCE and 6th century CE. Focussing on Greece and Rome, Taub challenges a number of modern misconceptions about science in the classical world, which has often been viewed with a modern lens and by modern scientists, such as the misconception that little empirical work was conducted, or that the Romans did not ''do'' science, unlike the Greeks. Beginning with the scientific notions of Thales, Pythagoras, Parmenides and other Presocratics, she moves on to Plato and Aristotle, before considering Hellenistic science, the influence of the Stoics and Epicurean ideas, and the works of Pliny the Elder, Eratosthenes, and Ptolemy. In her sweeping discussion, Taub explores the richness and creativity of ideas concerning the natural world, and the influence these ideas have had on later centuries.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Fully revised, this second edition offers a proven strategy for using ambidexterity to build discontinuous growth for mature organizations, and the flexibility to adapt in fast-changing environments. Why do successful firms find it so difficult to adapt in the face of change – to innovate? In the past ten years, the importance of this question has increased as more industries and firms confront disruptive change. The pandemic has accelerated this crisis, collapsing the structures of industries from airlines and medicine to online retail and commercial real estate. Today, leaders in business have an obligation not only to investors but to their employees and communities. At the core of this challenge is helping their organizations to survive in the face of change. The original edition summarized the lessons that the authors as researchers and consultants had learned over the previous two decades. Since then, they have continued to work with leaders of organizations around the world confronting disruptive change. With updates to every chapter, including new examples and analysis, this fully revised edition incorporates the lessons and insights that the authors have gained in the past five years. Two new chapters critically examine the role of organizational culture in promoting or hindering ambidexterity and its underlying fundamental disciplines. Using examples from firms such as Microsoft, General Motors, and Amazon, O'Reilly and Tushman illustrate how leaders can align their organization's cultures to fit the needed strategy, and how ideation, incubation, and scaling approaches, when used altogether, can successfully develop new growth businesses.

Chelsea Guevara''s Cipota breathes a lineage into a song-making music of ancestral memory: dirges of heartbreak and generational trauma, anthems of rage and reclamation, ballads of love and homecoming. Guevara''s voice enchants as she delves into history, ancestry, and the self-reaching for a lineage that has been battered by strife and strangled by colonialism. She moves through place and memory with deft skill and earnest humanity. Cipota examines the grief of culture lost, of a home you''ve been separated from, one that doesn''t truly feel like yours. Cipota is a beating heart that demands to be heard. You will be rapt from start to finish.

At its height Renaissance Florence was a centre of enormous wealth, power and influence. A republican city-state funded by trade and banking, its often bloody political scene was dominated by rich mercantile families, the most famous of which were the Medici. This enthralling book charts the family’s huge influence on the political, economic and cultural history of Florence. Beginning in the early 1430s with the rise of the dynasty under the near-legendary Cosimo de Medici, it moves through their golden era as patrons of some of the most remarkable artists and architects of the Renaissance, to the era of the Medici Popes and Grand Dukes, Florence’s slide into decay and bankruptcy, and the end, in 1737, of the Medici line.

Dr. Lee Know does a brilliant job shedding light on this once ignored organelle and shows us how to care for our most important metabolic system. Dr. Nasha Winters, co-author of The Metabolic Approach to CancerFrom infertility to aging to cancer and neurological disease, Dr. Lee Know will teach you that mitochondria play a central role in much that we care about in health and disease. Stephanie Seneff, senior research scientist, MIT  Why do we age? Why does cancer develop? What''s the connection between heart failure and Alzheimer''s disease or infertility and hearing loss? Can we extend lifespan and if so, how? What is the Exercise Paradox? Why do antioxidant supplements sometimes do more harm than good? Many will be amazed to learn that all these questions, and many more, can be answered by a single point of discussion: mitochondria and bioenergetics.In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, Naturopathic Doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria, the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it''s the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy. By understanding how our mitochondria work, in fact, it is possible to add years to our lives, and life to our years.Current research, however, has revealed a dark side: many seemingly disconnected degenerative diseases have tangled roots in dysfunctional mitochondria. However, modern research has also endowed us with the knowledge on how to optimise its function, which is of critical importance to our health and longevity. Lee Know offers cutting-edge information on supplementation and lifestyle changes for mitochondrial optimisation, such as:CoQ10 D-Ribose Cannabinoids  Ketogenic dietary therapy  Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in mitochondrial medicine and the true roots of chronic illness and disease, as well as anyone interested in improving their health.
