"This is a marvelous touchstone of heart-song for all who feel the spirit singing in prayer, meditation and daily life. Ana Hernández brings the personal powers of chant to light for the neophyte, the curious as well as the monk."—Don Campbell, musician and author of The Mozart Effect and The Roar of Silence“One can hardly imagine a more engaging introduction to the practice of chant! Ana Hernández, with honesty, humor and musical expertise, provides the reader with all that is needed to begin immediately to draw upon this spiritual resource.”—Katherine Le Mée, author of Chant and  The Benedictine Gift to Music“This call to practice is indeed inviting.”—Publishers Weekly “This book about chant is much more than that, and it reads like a letter from a fascinating and unusual friend. I started humming to myself as I read it.”—John McQuiston II, author of Finding Time for the Timeless: Spirituality in the Workweek“Even if you're convinced you can’t sing, Hernández’s refreshing and unpretentious book convinces you that you can chant, awakens your wish to do so and shows you how to begin. You won’t be able to resist her joyous invitation to enter with her into the realm of sacred sound and silence.”—Lorraine Kisly, author of Prayer of Fire: Experiencing the Lord’s Prayer and editor-in-chief of Parabola: The Search for Meaning

'We have to start a new discourse, a new dream, in which Latin America overcomes its challenges, and become a leading actor of the economy, the arts and sciences overall. We see Lourdes, not as a researcher or a talented economist. We see in her an unconditional ally of our cause and her work is one of our most powerful weapons.' - Gastón Acurio, Peruvian chef and Ambassador of Peruvian cuisine

'In a conversation held in mid-2003, President Lula said that Latin America could be part of the first-world in the 21st century. After a brief debate we concluded that no first-world country can exist without first-world enterprises and the necessary path to reach progress and a wealthy society come from the process generated by national companies becoming internationally competitive. Professor Lourdes Casanova's work is extremely opportune to serve as a continuous stimulus for the growth and development of Latin America.' - Luiz F. Furlan, Minister of Industry, Development, and Foreign Trade of Brazil, 2003-2007

'Lourdes Casanova compellingly studies several globally competitive firms from Latin America, and how they have influenced their own business environments. Such knowledge of new competitors and collaborators from the emerging markets is a must for all business professionals today.' - Tarun Khanna, Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor, Harvard Business School,

'When radical change in global governance accords the rightful place at the table to emerging markets, Lourdes Casanova's fluent and intelligent account tells us what we should know about global corporations originating in Latin America. Written by a leading investigator on international business, this account transcends traditional approaches and deals with new visions, branding challenges and corporate citizenship.' - Jacques Marcovitch, Professor and Former President, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

'Based on a series of in-depth, vividly presented case studies this book provides a timely examination of a rising breed of multinational companies, the Global Latinas, a sizeable group of corporate giants from Latin America. The book explores the innovative business models adopted by the often charismatic business leaders at the helm of the Global Latinas, and implicitly poses the question whether they represent a unique type of multinational company or "merely" a new force on the international landscape - but with distinctive Latin American characteristics.' - Anne Miroux, Head Investment Analysis Branch, DIAE, UNCTAD

'This book offers new and interesting perspectives on the emergence and impacts of improbable multinationals: those based in Latin America.' - Moisés Naim, Editor in ChiefForeign Policy magazine

'This excellent work gives a fascinating perspective on the rise of Latin American multinationals, their increasingly important role on the global economy and the determining factors of their success.' - Daniel Servitje, Chief Executive Officer, Grupo Bimbo

“There is extensive coverage of both common and uncommon disorders, which should be of great benefit to trainees as well as comprehensive ophthalmologists who may encounter patients with these conditions very infrequently. … this book has achieved its goal of providing a practical guide written by expert authors in a style accessible to residents, fellows, and comprehensive ophthalmologists. … pediatric phthalmologists also would benefit from the tips and descriptions regarding patients with less common and/or more challenging disorders.” (Prem S. Subramanian, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 256 (3), March, 2018)“This extensive text is a new addition to a small group of noted pedicatric ophthalmology texts. Drs. Traboulsi and Utz have edited a book that is worthy of this group. … The text is well supplied with case studies/examples that illustrate and emphasize nicely, as intended. ... It is designed as a practical tool to enhance management. It succeeds very well at this. The casual user should be extremely pleased.” (James D. Reynolds, American Orthoptic Journal, Vol. 67, 2017)
