Cuando la comida sustituye al amor

Book Description

¿A qué se debe el fracaso de la mayoría de las dietas? ¿Dónde reside el verdadero problema del exceso de peso y de la ingestión compulsiva de alimentos?

La comida puede ser un sustituto del amor. Si dejamos de alimentar al niño maltratado que hay en el interior del adulto solitario podremos nutrir el amor y dar lugar a la intimidad. De esta manera liberaremos el dolor de la vida pasada y nos instalaremos definitivamente en el presente.

Sólo si nos concedemos un espacio para la intimidad y el amor aprenderemos a disfrutar de la comida y dejaremos de usarla como un sustituto. Porque comer es una metáfora de la forma en que vivimos y de la forma en que amamos.

Book Description

Originally written over 30 years ago by a historian who was also a participant, this analysis of the Nazis' ill-fated attempt to take Stalingrad now features revisions by the author. Much more than a routine account of a battle, Stalingrad presents a stunning review of the motivations, misplaced principles, and misguided claims that led to what is considered Hitler's deadliest misstep.

a must for those who are intrested in details.......2007-08-21

I found this book a must for those who are interested in the details of what happened at Stalingrad. The author is troubled with the big question as to who is responsable for this masacre. He tells the story about what happened in the pocket with those who are abandoned by Hitler. Also, a very interesting explanation of Von Mansteins motives or the lack there of to rescue 6th Army. The only negative thing, for a lack of a better word, is that he does not say one word about his time in captivity for 7 years.

An additional research tool, not the definitive book........2006-09-30

This was a dificult book for me to read, written in a very stiff style. Only about a quarter of the book is actually about the author's experience in Stalingrad and I felt the restricted manner of writing failed to bring out a feeling of being there for the reader. Other chapters in the book focus on analyzing Manstein's and other's analysis and actions pertaining to the battle. I was looking to feel and understand the horror and tactics of the battle, but instead found this work to be more of a philosophical discussion of the battle, the actions of Germany's wartime leaders, and other peripheral subjects. Any contribution by an actual veteran of the battle is welcome and thus the four stars I am awarding it. However, I was not engrossed in this work and could not even empathize with the author because of the detached style of writing.

A valuable addition to the understanding of this tragedy.......2005-12-07

With the possible exception of Operation Barbarossa itself, perhaps there has been no other aspect of the German war with Russia from 1941-45 so extensively written about as the battle for Stalingrad in the fall and winter of 1942-43. Some might say that this is due to overwhelming scope of the battle. This is not a satisfactory answer however, as this battle was easily eclipsed in the scope and number of participants by later events such as the Kursk offensive and Operation Bagration, the Soviet operation which entirely destroyed the German center in June of 1944.

So what is the fascination with the battle for Stalingrad? This book looks into one of the most interesting and lesser studied aspects of the battle and that is how the army leadership, starting with Hitler and moving down through field marshal Manstein and generals Paulus and von Seydlitz caused the human tragedy here due to the chain of events that they brought about. After the encirclement of the German 6th army in late November of 1942 by a huge soviet counter offensive there were, according to the estimates quoted in this book 250,000 to 270,000 German and other axis partners trapped in the pocket. What was the cause of this suffering, which rapidly grew to desperate levels as rations fell to 50 grams of bread daily or even less and casualties had to be left in subzero winter conditions to die? This, Mr. Wieder argues, was directly attributable to the failure of those who were in positions to alleviate or end the encirclement to devise a realistic plan of action. An excellent example given by Wieder of this is the plan by Marshal Goering to supply the trapped army by air. The author clearly describes the realization, even at the time of it's proposal, that this idea was a fantasy with no basis in the facts of the situation. It was clear that what this really was was an attempt by Goering to renew the fuehrer's faith in the Luftwaffe, which had several notable and not that distant failures blackening it's record.

One of the key arguments here was that the suffering of the troops engaged at Stalingrad was, from a military stadpoint, completely unnecessary and one very clear indicator of the criminal nature of the Nazi regime-one that should have awoken even the least reflective members of the general staff as to Hitler's immorality in particular and the purposelessness of the war in general. As to why the general staff would have acquiesced for so long in regards to some of the other exceptionally criminal aspects in which the war was carried out, the author is silent- an opportunity missed. The barbarity of the attack on Stalingrad itself, as well as all of the urban fighting which had already occurred, should have been an eye opener to the German general staff. Of course, the complete disregard for the lives of civilians and the activities of the Einsatzgrupen just behind the lines in the Stalingrad have been proven to already have been known by those in high positions within the Wehrmacht. In most cases the atrocities occurring were ignored or even tacitly approved by these generals. Why Wieder doesn't connect these offenses to the broader criminality of the Nazi regime, or of Hitler in specific in waging the war is a failing of this book. It is not a catastrophic failure however and the author does much in other areas to show just how inhumane the holding of hundreds of thousands of lives within the pocket around Stalingrad was.

This book, written over 40 years ago is set apart by it's emphasis on the human tragedy of those locked in battle and the inability or unwillingness of some of the key players, such as field marshal Manstein or General Paulus to either make the necessary decisions. Wieder effectively argues that they along with Hitler, should have ordered the break out from the pocket early on, based on the responsibility they had for the lives of the soldiers under them , or to end the battle when the men were clearly unable to continue to fight. This book is then an indictment against the actions of Field Marshal Paulus and von Manstein, the commanders of the 6th army and the army group Don respectively, as well as Hitler. These men, in Wieder's opinion, due to their positions of leadership, were the ones critical for deciding the fate of the men of the 6th army. He also argues well that many of arguments that these men made in their own memoirs after the battle are clearly efforts to obfuscate and rehabilitate their records of inaction or poor decisions.

Overall this is a valuable addition to anyone wishing to understand the battle of Stalingrad beyond the traditional overview of the battle or personal accounts from the front-line soldiers. It is critical to dissect the decisions made by the generals in charge of the prosecution of the war. Only after they have been put under the microscope can what happened on the frozen steppe and in the cities of the former Soviet Union be truly understood.

BRILLIANT BOOK.......2003-09-10

This book belongs on your bookshelf. Alongside you simply must have Joel Hayward, "Stopped at Stalingrad: The Luftwaffe and Hitler's Defeat in the East 1942-1943". These books give a tactical perspective and a strategic perspective. They therefore go hand in hand to give a complete picture.

This is a very nice book from reader's point of view. It reads like fiction, but it is not!

Stalingrad: Memories and Reassessments.......2003-07-02

I found this book to offer a different view
of von Manstein and von paulus than people
are used to. Written by someone who was
in the pocket of stalingrad, it offers
a first person view of the battle. For fans
of von manstein, the book offers a critical
and i thought a fresh view of the man, who is
held in high regard by most historians but not
so high by this officer in the sixth army.I found
book to be fast read. You'll enjoy it

Book Description

A writer's return to the old country reveals the binding continuities of family, faith, and language. "A deeply thought-out book filled with poetry, pathos, triumph and lots of Irish laughter."—Publishers Weekly

"So, Tom that went and Tom that would come back!" is how Nora Lynch greeted the young American Thomas Lynch in 1970, at the edge of the ocean in West Clare, outside the cottage that his great-grandfather—another Thomas Lynch—had left nearly a century before on a one-way ticket to America.

In thirty-five years and dozens of return trips to Ireland, Lynch has found a template for the larger world inside the small one, the planet in the local parish. The neighbors and characters he found there—spinsters and farmers, local heroes, poets, clergy, and corner boys—taught him to look, as Montaigne said we ought, for "the whole of Man's estate" in every man.

Part memoir, part cultural study, Booking Passage is a brilliant, often comedic guidebook for those Lynch calls "fellow travelers, fellow pilgrims" making their way through the complexities of their own lives and times.

Customer Reviews:

A delightful author.......2007-01-20

"Booking Passage, We Irish and Americans" is a delight. Thomas Lynch's use of language is inspiring. Lynch's observations on Irish and American life in the last three decades are full of wit and insight. This is a great book by a great author.

Sensitive stories skillfully told.......2006-07-22

I'd been waiting for what seemed like too long for a third book of stories from Thomas Lynch, but wondered if his Irish-based tales could possibility be as compelling as his earlier works, which were stories about life based on his career in dealing with the dead (in addition to being a writer, Lynch is an undertaker). But again, just as he used the funeral home as a backdrop for stories not about death but about life, Lynch uses Ireland, land of his ancestory and his frequent visits, as the canvas for telling poignant stories about life. Now I'll give friends copies of "Booking Passage" while i wait for a fourth book from Thomas Lynch.

Booking Boredom.......2005-11-29

Hilarious in parts, I found his diatribe on 9/11, the airport wait between flights, his "rise" to stardom etc. to be egotistical and boring. If he had stuck to Ireland, relatives there, the cottage there, his life in the States and the back and forth between the two, it would have made a better book. I loved it for the brogue and dialogue therein; reminded me of my father who spoke with a brogue imitating my grandparents from Roscommon but it does wander and that's a shame because he seems to have a niche with his close tie to Ireland that could be used again and again in more books perhaps.

Scattered musings, best read in parts .......2005-11-04

When three of the sections have these headings: Bits & Pieces, Odds & Ends, Fits & Starts, you get the idea: lots of thoughts mainly about but not always about Irish in America and in the US. Lynch writes well, perhaps too self-consciously (but you could say the same about Beckett, Joyce, McGahern, or Banville) about his place within the past & present Irish identity increasingly available to trans-Atlantic "passengers" reversing the emigration of their ancestors. The strength of this book comes from Lynch's determination to act out a point attributed to one of Brian O Nolan's many literary guises: to be Irish you need not have been born there, merely to claim allegiance.

Comparisons to James Charles Roy's more acerbic accounts of restoring a "castle" in Co Galway and herding about Yanks on a tour, respectively "The Fields of Athenry" and "The Back of Beyond," provide a fine counterpoint to the themes Lynch takes on--a rejoinder in turn to the Niall Williams "back to nature" tendency to romanticize rural Irish life for second-home owners.

The most fluent and unified part of Lynch's collection, apparently knocked about for a while in gestation since about 1970 and added to as life added to Lynch's accumulated experiences revolving around Ireland, mortality, and his place within both realms, the section "Death Comes for the Curate" tracks his priest relative who died early back three-quarters of a century ago in New Mexico, and from this Lynch frames a meditation examining Irish Catholicism from many angles, both in Ireland and its remnants in America. This portion of the book hit home, and worked in its concentration around a central theme.

What worked less effectively was, as the opening paragraph about the chapter headings foreshadows, the scattered organization of much of Lynch's other musings. To his credit he steers clear of "The Troubles" and largely bypasses the cute anecdotes and clever pub banter that sinks many a travelogue about the oul' sod. Yet, in his putting thoughts to paper, he tends--like Montaigne whom he cites--to drift before coming back to where he started, at best. In sections about relatives, the old house he restores, poetry that mattered to his younger and present self, and the irritation aroused by travel and its delays in a post 9/11 world, he is often sharp and worthwhile to learn from.

But in many of these same chapters, the control lessens and you feel as if too many undigested and unrevised ideas crowd out the better prose. The book wanders about mightily, and too much to reward a long sitting or two, although in parts it can be dipped into for a few pages with pleasure. Perhaps I need to re-read Montaigne to acclimate myself to Lynch, but the latter seems to treat the Irish concerns as ultimately as disorganized and fractious as any other Lynch may have. While true for him no doubt, this disorganization makes for less than fluid streams of consciousness on these finely wrought but rather too crammed and caroming essays that leave a reader as often stranded as enlightened. Yet, again, that chapter on Catholicism's superb!

Great book.......2005-09-06

I have read half of the book so far and it is a wonderful written book with a great story.

Writer of this book is wanted for his involvement in war crimes in Bosnia and is hiding behind his UN immunity.......2006-10-13

Writer of this book is wanted for his involvement in war crimes in Bosnia and is hiding behind his UN immunity. Numerous of times Bosnian Attorney General requested from Canadian Government to extradict Gen. MacKanzie for his involvement in rapes and other war crimes in city of Vogosca in Bosnia. By numerous of accounts of women who were raped in the camp set up by serb forces, Gen. MacKenie was visiting that kamp, witnessed rapes and torture, and was doing them himself.

On October 12th 2006, bosnian Attorney General office requested yet another time his extradiction from Canada, and now they are waiting for Canadian response. There are many proofs of his involvement in these crimes, but big problem is that he was protected under UN statute during that period.

Horrible book! Propaganda material paid by the Serbian Union Congress, a serbian lobby group headquotered in California.......2006-04-29

While it is difficult to ascertain exactly how much has been directed towards payment for speakers and journalists, the SUC and Serbnet have set up a special fund for this purpose. Based on former UN General Lewis MacKenzie's own admission which was later corroborated by Serbnet -- that he was receiving over $15,000 per speaking engagement -- the amount spent on MacKenzie represents more than what the SUC is paying to PR firms such as Manatos and Manatos, Inc.

A complete referenced study can be seen on this serbian website:

Great book for everybody who would like to know more about War in former Yugoslavia.......2005-07-16

Gen. McKenzie wrote a great book about peacekeeping in Bosnia. He is very honest man with a lot of experience in peacekeeping. He had hard time in Bosnia because beside war on the field there was a very strong media and political war. He did his best. Read it!
More things you can find if you read some reports of French Gen. Morion (reading his reports to UN). Useful link: http://www.srebrenica-report.com/

Road to Sarajevo.......2005-02-28

Excelent book. Very revealing. Good stories, funny at times and serious at times. Great read.

First hand experience from top UN man in Balkans.......2005-01-28

I would warmly encourage anybody interested in Balkans to read this book. Author was commander of UN forces, first in Croatia and than in Bosnia. Like me, he came with an anti-Serb, propaganda influenced, opinion to serve in Yugoslavia, only to discover situation to be completely opposite from what media reported in the West. He writes objectively at all times, but many muslims from Bosnia (who were the most brainwashed of all sides, by their government) will not agree with him. Fact is that great majority of people who were fighting or who lived under muslim Bosnian government believed that they are fighting for multiethnic Bosnia...However, their government consisted from mostly only muslims, led by a TRUE FUNDAMENTALIST Alija Izetbegovic and their real aim was an independent muslim state in Balkans. Izetbegovic has since 1970's preached fundamentalism, what is easy to check from his books. And generous support that he enjoyed from his friends in Iran, made him feel strong enough to start the war and later break many cease-fires (Lord Owen, Lord Carrington, Cyrus Vence, general Lewis Mackenzie and many more leading westerners in Balkan are witnesses and living proof to this).He joined forces with his traditional friends, CROATS (Izetbegovic himself was a Nazi soldier in Bosnia in W.W.II) who were together fighting for Hitler against Serbs. Add to them another Hitler's ally, Albanians and you slowly getting the picture.....

Refreshing Insights From Many Angles........2007-10-16

This was an informative & entertaining book with fine descriptions. The author refers to himself as a political Libertarian, which means he questions assumptions & claims that are often wrongly believed to be fact. Much of the data here is common sense. Such as cell phone use at a gas station won't cause an explosion, that reading in dim light is not really bad for your eyes, that older folks are not really more unhappy, that public schools are not underfunded, & that most lawsuits cause more harm than good. He does a very good job detailing the latter two examples. The book is a loose collection of many ideas organized around a few unifying themes. Even though I don't have kids, I found the chapter on child raising myths written from the authors own perspective very worthwhile. Also, I think most will find his investigation into creating happiness & his discusion on the nature & power of forgiveness very crucial food for thought. The only negative I found was the authors going on too long in expressing the less salient points. On the whole he reached his goal to get the reader to consider every angle of an issue before making a decision. A solid four stars.

Sock It To 'Em Journalism.......2007-10-08

This is the book version, for the most part, of Stossel's 20/20 and other tv consumer reporting. It is an attack on a lot of the cherised myths of the left but also takes shots at others. It is a very entertaining read and a real eye-opener in some cases. The exposes and rebutalls of liberal and left-wing myths and beliefs are a great counterpoint to what much of the liberal media peddles. However, the presentations are obviously one-sided. Stossel never gives the other side an equal opportunity to respond in kind or in full. The transcripts presentation from on air material are the ones that have obviously been chosen to portray Stossel's targets in the worst light possible. Can the mistakes be so lopsided against one side? I addition, since I am aware in some cases of much more complex issues that are not discussed, it leads me to wonder how much I should know but don't, and is not being shared by Stossel, that might give me a more balanced view. I guess in the end Stossel is preaching to the choir on the ideological issues, and as a member of that choir, in some cases, I found myself rooting for him as he shed light on some of the issues where logic and reason has failed to prevail. To be fair, there is plenty here also on non-political consumer issues, some of which are also entertaining and enlightening. I highly recommned the book, but peharps a read of the other side on the more controversial issues is required for a fair and balanced understanding.

Do you know what you know you know.......2007-09-24

I work in a major book store and have only read a small fraction of the book -- particularly on global warming. However, his staement on the melting of the icecaps makes total sense -- if you fill a glass with ice, then fill it with water and set it down, letting the ice melt, does your glass of water overflow? NO! It doesn't. About three quarters of each and every iceberg is under water, so if they all melted at once, how much would that effect the water level of the oceans/seas of the world? Zero!
I will read the remainder of the book at some point, because of that one entry. Yes, we the depletion of the world's foiliage threatens our extention, but we haven't used more than a quarter of our forests, so I do not buy all the tree-hugger's nonsense. Stossel was dead-on with his exert on the icecaps, so that's reson enough to read onl

He's right about education........2007-09-18

John Stossel is right about education in America. Compared to many other countries, our college-level education is equivalent to a high school education. He's also right that schools don't need more money to teach. A lot of the money they already have is being paid to the teachers who don't teach anything. These teachers have tenure; this makes it very hard to get rid of them, even if they are terrible teachers. I know this from experience. And many other people can probably remember at least one teacher like this, ones who don't do their job but get a check anyway because they're tenured.

I think it's pitiful that so many students graduate from high school without having learned to read. This is not a joke that Stossel made up. I have been out of high school for four years and can remember many students who couldn't read at their own level. I recently learned that it is illegal to hold back a student until they get to the third grade in Kentucky. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. A friend of mine who is an elementary education major told me that in a class of twenty-five third graders, only a few of them could read. The rest were able to read words like "the," "and," and "but." I don't understand why they wait until the third grade. They should tackle the problem immediately. Apparently, this idea is from the No Child Left Behind campaign.

Stossel's book could've been better if he had used more schools as examples. Using primarily South Carolina and New York as examples was not the greatest idea. He could've examined several more schools across more states.

Brandon Simpson

Some good, some bad: use discretion.......2007-09-15

Stossel brings us to many topics where conventional "wisdom" is less wise or true than most think. This is a good thing! His goal of exposing truth is laudable; however, his performance is mixed.

The good: He does a good job of exposing certain scams and myths in our society. For example, his history of how diamonds became popular is fascinating and seldom-told. It makes you rethink your opinion of those sparkly little rocks. His "consumer cons" section is the best part of the book by far; if you only have time to read one part, read that chapter.

The bad: His arrogance wears thin very quickly. Also, some of his arguments are unconvincing; he often takes examples (which may or may not be extreme) and uses them to formulate his entire argument. We often do not hear what experts on various sides have to say. The book has a wham-bam feel that doesn't delve deeply into any particular issue, so don't let your research stop with this book.

Finally, I quickly got tired of his way of describing others. He uses very little nuancing, nor does he substantiate many of his descriptors. For example, he derisively calls college-student activists "rich" without presenting any proof. (Hey, you might say, he just means that they are richer than sweatshop laborers. Well, he should say that, then, because it sure sounds to me like he's just using "rich" to discredit them in the eyes of the public by making them seem like pampered idiots.)

Overall, just remember that Stossel is not a neutral party; he picks what information to include, which arguments to showcase, and what direction or slant to take that material. That's simply the nature of this genre. Be suspicious of his loose descriptors and his smug perspective, but be open to his ideas- they may surprise you and change your thinking!
