From the lawyer who put the woman who killed her ex-boyfriend in cold blood behind bars, an insider look at the courtroom drama that gripped the country.Juan Martinez, the fiery prosecuting attorney who convicted notorious murderess Jodi Arias for the killing of Travis Alexander, speaks for the first time about the investigation and trial that captivated the nation.Through two trials, America watched as Juan Martinez fought relentlessly to convict Jodi Arias of Murder One for viciously stabbing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander to death. What emerged was a stunning story wrought with sex, manipulation, and deceit. Arias changed her story continually as her bizarre behavior surrounding the crime and its aftermath came to light. Unwavering, Arias and her defense team continued to play off the salacious details of the case, until she was finally found guilty and—controversially—sentenced to life behind bars.Now prosecutor Juan Martinez explores key facts from the case and the pieces of evidence he kept close to the vest. Throughout the trials, his bullish and unfaltering prosecution strategy was both commended and criticized, and Martinez illuminates the unique tactics he utilized and how they led to a successful conviction, and—for the first time—discusses how he felt losing the death penalty sentence.Going beyond the news reports, Martinez explores the multiple facades of Jodi Arias. Sparring with her from across the stand, Martinez came to know Arias like no one else could, dissecting what it took for a seemingly normal girl to become a deluded and unrepentant killer.Complete with 16 pages of photos from the case and trial, Conviction is the definitive account of the case that shocked America

In a rundown neighborhood in the heart of Las Vegas, the Alicia hotel awakens and beckons to the most vulnerable—those with something to hide.After his parents are killed in a horrific roadside execution, Alvaro flees his home in Colombia and finds work as a line cook at the seedy hotel. Together with his sister, Carmen, he begins to make a new life in the desert, earning a promotion to management along with an irresistible offer to stay at the hotel rent-free. But as beloved photographs go missing, cockroaches seep from the walls, and grotesque strangers wander the corridors, the promise of the Alicia decays into nightmare. Alvaro discovers that the hotel is a small appendage of an enormous creature that feeds on guests and their secrets, one that will eventually bring him face-to-face with the memories he most wants to outrun. Alvaro, Carmen, and their friends decide to cooperate with the creature rather than fight it. But in their efforts to appease it, do they sacrifice too much of themselves?Haunting and visceral, Extended Stay uses the language of body horror and the gothic to comment on the complicated relationship between the Latinx undocumented experience and capitalism, the erasure of those living and working on the margins, the heavy toll exacted by memory, and the queasy permeability of boundaries that separate the waking world from the world of dreams.

As a boy, Miguel �ngel Tobar fled a small town in El Salvador torn apart by warring guerillas and US-backed death squads. As a teen in Los Angeles, he fought discrimination and beatings by joining a gang--MS-13. By the time the US deported him to San Salvador, The Hollywood Kid joined a wave of thousands of US-bred gangsters, whose violence--in concert with corrupt offiicals--have in turn helped propel new waves of refugees. The incomparable Salvadoran journalist Oscar Martinez got to know the Hollywood Kid and met with him as he first turned on MS-13, killing gang members, and then in turn was assassinated by other gang members. In intensely vivid scenes, Martinez and his anthropologist brother Juan tell the story of a violent life and death--and of the geopolitical forces that propelled a country into becoming one of the most violent on earth.

Aquí no hay postureo ni frases de PowerPoint.Hay verdad, experiencia y propósito. Juan no escribe para impresionar.Escribe para acompañar. Para ayudarte a entender.Sergio CanceloCofundador de HappyforceLa cultura organizacional se basa en los individuos, las relaciones, el liderazgo, las estrategias y políticas que la modelan. De ahí que sea necesaria la mirada sistémica, la conexión de la organización desde los niveles atómicos hasta los holísticos.Crear una hoja de ruta viable para humanizar las organizaciones e impactar positivamente en la productividad implica un viaje que parte del individuo, pasa por los equipos y su liderazgo y llega al entorno corporativo.Con las personas como punto de partida, Martínez toma en cuenta los dos factores individuales que las dirigen: el amor y el miedo. El autor sustenta que el individuo se balancea entre un yin y un yang, mostrando madurez en sus comportamientos y en sus interacciones o, por el contrario, exhibiendo comportamientos sesgados —contenidos o impulsivos— y relaciones menos sostenibles, incluso tóxicas.A partir de la afirmación de que el individuo crea una mentalidad a partir de la cual se relaciona consigo y con su entorno, esta guía plantea las relaciones como elementos sistémicos clave y, adicionalmente, ofrece miradas sobre el liderazgo que permiten determinar qué realidad se permite y se crea.
