El sufrimiento de Ruthie es una historia verídica vivida por la persona que lleva su nombre de la cual el autor puede testificar la veracidad de los hechos por ser parte de esta historia. En este libro verás las muchas caras del sufrimiento expresadas en lloros, decepciones, disoluciones, traiciones, amargos momentos, fracasos y hasta su estremecedor encuentro con la muerte. La historia es real que te hará reflexionar y pensar que cuando tú estás pasando por un momento difícil siempre hay alguien quién la está pasando peor. Esta historia es una de las tantas que suceden en el mundo. La tuya pudiera ser la próxima en escribirse. En ella veras las diferentes caras del sufrir. Historias como estas nunca terminan. Día a día se repiten en multitudes de seres humanos quienes diariamente padecen aflicciones y calamidades. La historia de Ruthie no es la única; todos tenemos también una historia que contar. Este libro te pondrá los "pelos de punta" a medida que leas y vayas descubriendo lo que la vida le ha dado a esta humilde mujer. Muchos de nosotros de una manera u otra hemos sido víctimas del sufrir y de los defectos que este deja; en el caso de Ruthie, los efectos son más que dolorosos. Sus sufrimientos te tocaran el alma. La palabra sufrir se quedará corta cuando veas el despliegue de tormentas y ataques que la vida misma ha hecho contra ella. Lee este libro detalladamente y veras que no estoy exagerando. Sé parte de esta historia e identifícate con el personaje para que tú también seas testigo de los atropellos que se atreve hacer el sufrir y de los rastros que éste deja. Entérate si el sufrimiento de Ruthie se convierte al fin y al cabo en felicidad; si ella le gana la batalla a la vida; si ella le da un adiós definitivo al sufrimiento, o una acogedora bienvenida a la felicidad. Su fe y perseverancia en Dios le da esperanza; pero aun la pregunta original queda en el aire: ¿Terminarán algún día los Sufrimientos de Ruthie? Eso sólo la sabe Dios.

The “gripping story” of a Nazi blockade, a Russian composer, and a ragtag band of musicians who fought to keep up a besieged city’s morale (The New York Times Book Review). For 872 days during World War II, the German Army encircled the city of Leningrad—modern-day St. Petersburg—in a military operation that would cripple the former capital and major Soviet industrial center. Palaces were looted and destroyed. Schools and hospitals were bombarded. Famine raged and millions died, soldiers and innocent civilians alike. Against the backdrop of this catastrophe, historian Brian Moynahan tells the story of Dmitri Shostakovich, whose Seventh Symphony was first performed during the siege and became a symbol of defiance in the face of fascist brutality. Titled “Leningrad” in honor of the city and its people, the work premiered on August 9, 1942—with musicians scrounged from frontline units and military bands, because only twenty of the orchestra’s hundred members had survived. With this compelling human story of art and culture surviving amid chaos and violence, Leningrad: Siege and Symphony “brings new depth and drama to a key historical moment” (Booklist, starred review), in “a narrative that is by turns painful, poignant and inspiring” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune). “He reaches into the guts of the city to extract some humanity from the blood and darkness, and at its best Leningrad captures the heartbreak, agony and small salvations in both death and survival . . . Moynahan’s descriptions of the battlefield, which also draw from the diaries of the cold, lice-ridden, hungry combatants, are haunting.” —The Washington Post

This book reinforces the foundation of a new field of studies and research in the intersection between social sciences and specifically between political science, international relations, diplomacy, psychotherapy, and social-cognitive psychology. It seeks to promote a coherent and comprehensive approach to international negotiation from a multidisciplinary viewpoint generating a longer term of studies, researches, and networking process that both respond to changes and differences in our societies and to the unprecedented demand and opportunities for international conflict prevention and resolution. There is a need to increase cooperation, coherence, and efficiency of international negotiation. It is necessary to focus our shared attention on new ways to better formulate integrated and sustainable negotiating strategies for conflict resolution. This book acquires innovative relevance in and will impact on the new context of international challenges which do not have a one-off solution that can be settled through a single target-oriented negotiation process. The book brings together leading scholars and researchers into the field from different disciplines, diplomats, politicians, senior officials, and even a Cardinal of the Holy See to give their contributions and make proposals on how best to optimize the use of negotiation and diplomacy structures, tools, and instruments. However, unlike most studies and researches on international negotiation, this book emphasizes processes, not simply outcomes or even tools but the way in which tools are and can be used to achieve better outcomes in international reality-based negotiation.
