GENERAL CARLOS JULIO PEÑALOZA - FIDEL’S DAUPHIN - Apr 15 2015 6:30 pm. The career military man and retired general Carlos Julio Peñaloza saw combat against
the Castro-Communist urban and rural guerrillas in the 1960s in Venezuela. In 1984 being Superintendent of the Venezuelan Military Academy he
discovered and denounced Chavez, but the Army´s chiefs protected him. In 1989 being the Venezuelan Army´s Chief of Staff he detained Hugo
Chávez for conspiring against the State, but President Carlos Andrés Pérez ordered to free him. Two years later Chávez led the failed 4F coup
d’état. In his first book El Imperio de Fidel, or Fidel’s Empire, the author relates the meddling of Fidel Castro in Venezuela until 1968, and in this his
second book, the narratives takes us up to the failed coup attempt of February 4, 1992. This coup was a product of the "Foro de Sao Paulo"
conspiracy hatched by Lula Da Silva and Fidel Castro. Chávez was made-to-order by Fidel Castro and by other communist artisans such as Douglas
Bravo and Alí Rodríguez Araque who collaborated together with Venezuelan politicians and military chiefs who created, protected and developed
his public persona. Nicolas Maduro cameo appearance in the plot is escribed. The crucial role of ex-president Rafael Caldera is also exposed.
Chávez was the product of his thirst for power powerfully spurred by his eloquence and charisma. About the book Carlos Alberto Montaner,
journalist and writer gave his opinion as follows: “General Peñaloza has written a book about Chávez and Fidel that is indispensable to understand
how and why Venezuela has become an exploited Cuban colony and guinea pig for the Forum of Sao Paulo. The research is impeccable and
substantial, which makes it valuable for both Cubans and Venezuelans. Peñaloza was Chief of the Venezuelan Army having access to top secret
intelligence reports. If Carlos Andrés Pérez had listened to him, the history of Venezuela would be different. This is one of those works that will
endure through time.
HUGH THOMAS - THE SECULAR CLERGY IN ENGLAND - Apr 15 2015 8:00 pm. The secular clergy - priests and other clerics outside of monastic orders - were among
the most influential and powerful groups in European society during the central Middle Ages. The secular clergy got their title from the Latin word
for world, saeculum, and secular clerics kept the Church running in the world beyond the cloister wall, with responsibility for the bulk of pastoral
care and ecclesiastical administration. This gave them enormous religious influence, although they were considered too worldly by many
contemporary moralists - trying, for instance, to oppose the elimination of clerical marriage and concubinage. Although their worldliness created
many tensions, it also gave the secular clergy much worldly influence. Contemporaries treated elite secular clerics as equivalent to knights, and
some were as wealthy as minor barons. Secular clerics had a huge role in the rise of royal bureaucracy, one of the key historical developments of
the period. They were instrumental to the intellectual and cultural flowering of the twelfth century, the rise of the schools, the creation of the
book trade, and the invention of universities. They performed music, produced literature in a variety of genres and languages, and patronized art
and architecture. Indeed, this volume argues that they contributed more than any other group to the Twelfth-Century Renaissance. Yet the secular
clergy as a group have received almost no attention from scholars, unlike monks, nuns, or secular nobles. In The Secular Clergy in England, 1066-
1216, Hugh Thomas aims to correct this deficiency through a major study of the secular clergy below the level of bishop in England from 1066 to
1216. About the Author: Hugh M. Thomas received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1988 and has taught medieval history at the University of Miami
since then. He has published three previous books and a number of articles and has had fellowships at the University of Miami's Center for the
Humanities, the University of Pennsylvania, the National Humanities Center, All Souls College, Oxford, and Princeton University.

BERTA MEDINA-GARCIA - LESSONS FROM THE ROOF OF AFRICA - Apr 18 2015 5:00 pm. When Berta Medina-Garcia - a "voluntourist" with a lifelong dream of visiting
Africa - discovers an unbelievable opportunity to work with a charitable organization known as One Child Matters, she doesn't think twice before
asking to join. What Berta doesn't know is that this isn't your average charity. Berta and 22 other intrepid sponsors have been tasked with
summiting Mount Kilimanjaro - the world's tallest free-standing mountain - in order to raise funds for Maasai children in need. During her 7 days on
the mountain, Berta discovers that, in giving selflessly, we end up receiving a whole lot more than we bargained for. Join Berta on a transformative
journey as she explores the importance of giving, discovers what it truly means to listen to ourselves and shares her incredible experience as a first-
time voluntourist.“ About the Author: Berta Medina-Garcia is a passionate voluntourist with lofty dreams of helping those in need. Just like many of
us, Berta had let doubt get in the way of following her dreams. She recently took a new career path to follow her passions and her whole life
opened up to exciting opportunities and a career as a Life Coach. Now Berta is living life to the fullest, whether she's practicing piloting over Florida
or helping others achieve their dreams. Berta lives in Miramar, Florida with her husband Jorge, has been blessed with two amazing, creative children,
Jacelyne and Jorge Jr. and an adventurous and beautiful granddaughter, Khloe Belle.
THANE ROSENBAUM - HOW SWEET IT IS Apr 18 2015 7:00 pm. Set in Miami Beach in 1972, HOW SWEET IT IS!, by critically acclaimed novelist, Thane Rosenbaum
follows the Posner family—two Holocaust survivors, Sophie and Jacob and their son, Adam—doing everything they can to avoid one another in a city
with an infinite supply of colorful diversions. In ’72 Miami hosted both the Republican and Democratic political conventions and experienced the rise
of the counterculture, the Cold War, and the desegregation of the old South. In the style of E.L. Doctorow’s Ragtime, HOW SWEET IT IS! is populated
and enriched by the presence of many historical characters of the day including Jackie Gleason, Frank Sinatra, Muhammad Ali, Isaac Bashevis Singer,
Meyer Lansky, and Fidel Castro. Miami Beach was to be the Posner’s salvation. Instead they discover that it is not a place of camouflage—all that
sunshine highlighted the very things they wished to forget. In this hilarious novel, Sophie becomes a key figure in the Jewish Mafia as crime boss
Meyer Lansky exploits her talents in a desperate attempt to restore the Jewish Mafia to its former glory and bring legalized gambling to Florida.
Matching wits with the master Yiddish storyteller, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jacob bemoans his fate at having to cope with Sophie, his irrepressible wife,
and her new fame and relationships. And Adam acquires valuable lessons on standing one’s ground from the World’s Fastest Man, Bob Hayes, and
learns to pitch out of a jam from an umpire who may or may not be Cuba’s dictator, Fidel Castro. The Posners find their lives quickly turning into a
Disney World of funhouse mirrors and chaotic rides that give them front row seats through a transformational year in American culture, politics and
world history. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Thane Rosenbaum is the author of the critically acclaimed novels, The Stranger Within Sarah Stein, The Golems
of Gotham, Second Hand Smoke, and the novel-in-stories, Elijah Visible, which received the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for the best book of Jewish
American fiction. His articles, reviews and essays appear frequently in many national publications including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal,
Washington Post, and The Huffington Post, among other national publications. He is a Senior Fellow at New York University School of Law where he
directs the Forum on Law, Culture & Society. For more information visit http://www.thanerosenbaum.com/.
