Sandy always stood out. From a young age, she was labeled as "too loud," "selfish," and "unladylike." She couldn't help but feel invisible, like a vibrant painting hidden behind a dull curtain.As she grew into a woman, the pressure to conform only intensified, but it was the 1980s and the music, the makeup, power suits, and sexual hookups were fun. Sandy survived work with precious few hours of sleep but as the fun became routine, she went back to feeling small and invisible. She had no idea what was holding her back.In her memoir, From Invisible to Technicolor, Sandy takes us along as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, sexual awakening, and empowerment. She learns that it's not selfish to prioritize her own happiness and dreams. Through trials and tribulations, she sheds the layers of societal and familial expectations, embracing her true self with all its colors and complexities.In a world that tried to make her invisible, Sandy becomes a beacon of individuality and strength. This is a story of resilience, self-acceptance, and the audacious pursuit of a life lived authentically, unafraid to be technicolor in a world that expects women to be quiet and invisible.

Esta obra está conformada en dos tomos. El primero, el presente texto, aborda los aspectos, generalidades e historia del delito y del Derecho Penal en México, así como los antecedentes de los delitos más graves y comunes que han afectado a la sociedad durante décadas, tales como el robo, la trata, la prostitución, la delincuencia organizada, secuestro, homicidio y terrorismo. También se ocupa del estudio del delincuente y de la víctima, análisis de la víctima, victimología y los aspectos que la rodean, incluso desde la perspectiva de los Derechos Humanos, Política Criminal y la Victimología. Reseña literariaPocos libros de justicia se animan a estudiar tanto al delincuente como a la víctima con un lenguaje neutro y específico. Si bien este primer tomo de LOS ASPECTOS DEL DELITO EN LA SOCIEDAD ACTUAL es amable y explicativo con el lector no especializado, es también valiente y trata tanto términos como fenómenos complejos. Enrique Galán, abogado y escritor, hace, desde el aspecto histórico hasta el social, desde la perspectiva del transgresor hasta la de la víctima, un recorrido por el sistema de justica mexicano. Este libro es una valiosa contribución para profesionales del derecho, pero también para aquellos interesados en comprender el sistema actual. - Amado Contreras, Crítico Literario

In the spring of 2012, an unlikely transformational figure inadvertently breaches the perimeter of U.S politics. Unencumbered by political ambition and devoid of greed or lust for power, Jonathon Braxton reluctantly enters the arena. Fueled solely by a desire to advocate for more medical research funding to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes afflicting his son, Braxton agrees to speak at the 2012 Republican National Convention courtesy of two influential power brokers who see 'JB' as the future of the party.Lance Reibus, the Republican National Committee chairman, is pressured by two important power brokers, Carlton and Cornelius Hale, into giving Braxton a prime time speaking slot. Their intent is to showcase Braxton to the party and to the country. Braxton is aware of the Hale's motives but doesn't care as he sees the opportunity of speaking at the convention to advocate for his cause as one that cannot be passed up, despite his disdain for politics.
