«En una urbe atada a sus destrucciones y a la manía mexicana de exterminar el pasado para merecer el presente, la colección fotográfica de Carlos Villasana logra una doble proeza: detener el tiempo y el olvido». Héctor de Mauleón


Más de 10,000 ejemplares vendidos de La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), primera parte


Conocedor del poder de la fotografía para detener el tiempo un instante y capturar para la posteridad todo aquello que, por su naturaleza dinámica, pareciera destinado a desaparecer, el investigador Carlos Villasana ha dedicado gran parte de su vida a conformar uno de los archivos iconográficos más completos sobre la Ciudad de México. En este segundo volumen de La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), comparte ochenta nuevas imágenes de su colección, algunas comentadas por la historiadora Isabel Revuelta Poo, que nos harán viajar en el tiempo --desde comienzos del siglo XX hasta la década de 1980-- por los diversos rincones citadinos y conocer a los personajes que los han poblado.


La Biblioteca Central de la UNAM, el célebre hotel Regis, el extinto Café Colón, los preparativos de los Juegos Olímpicos de 1968 o un espectáculo de charrería en pleno Polanco son algunos de los momentos y sitios que se dan cita en estas páginas para rendirles homenaje a quienes construyeron esta urbe, pero sobre todo a quienes la han habitado y le han dado vida a cada uno de sus rincones y monumentos. En sus memorias, que nos legaron a través de estas imágenes, podemos reconocer el eco de nuestras propias andanzas urbanas para vislumbrar no solo el pasado de nuestra ciudad, sino también su vibrante porvenir.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"In a city bound to its own destruction and to the Mexican obsession with erasing the past to deserve the present, Carlos Villasana's photo collection achieves a double feat: stopping time and forgetting." --Héctor de Mauleón


Over 10,000 copies sold of La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), first volume


Understanding the power of photography to freeze time and preserve what seems destined to vanish, researcher Carlos Villasana has devoted much of his life to building one of the most complete visual archives of Mexico City. In this second volume of La ciudad que ya no existe (The City That No Longer Exists), he shares eighty new images from his collection, some with commentary by historian Isabel Revuelta Poo, taking us on a journey through time--from the early 20th century to the 1980s--across the city's many corners and introducing us to the people who once inhabited them.


The UNAM Central Library, the famous Regis Hotel, the now-defunct Café Colón, preparations for the 1968 Olympic Games, and a charrería show in the heart of Polanco are just some of the moments and places featured in these pages. They pay tribute not only to those who built this city, but especially to those who lived in it and gave life to its monuments and neighborhoods. Through these visual memories, we can hear the echo of our own urban wanderings and glimpse not only the city's past, but also its vibrant future.

Secrets, Seduction, and Rockstars!
Format: Kindle
Rockstars, secrets, and off-the-charts chemistry? Sign me up! Cinder Blaze takes us on a rollercoaster of passion and peril with Knot Their Omega. Blair Vesper, a secret Omega masquerading as an Alpha, strikes a risky deal to tour with Blooming Salvation, a band teetering on the edge of chaos. Enter Icarus Morrigan, the enigmatic manager, and his three complicated and irresistibly sexy rockstars: wild Kenji, icy Kaiser, and fiery Nathaniel. This book delivers steamy Omegaverse drama, sizzling slow-burn romance, and just the right dash of angst. The tension between Blair and the band crackles like electricity onstage, while the societal stakes add depth to the spicy dynamics. Short, sharp, and oh-so-sinful Knot Their Omega will have you hooked from the first note!

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing read
Format: Kindle
This book was eloquently written, or should I say the authors writing style is very eloquent? I loved the characters, and the story was quite compelling. I absolutely loved the FMC, she's a BA who doesn't take any crap & gives as good as she gets. A certain person certainly got his just desserts & then some, the earlier scenes of which were quite satisfying, had me punching the air & everything haha. All in all 20/10, great read

My opinion
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying I really liked the story and the characters however, this book is in desperate need of some sort of editing. It's not misspelled words or formatting, but continuous run on sentences. Redundancies within the sentences. There were a couple of paragraphs that I had to go back and reread 3 or 4 times. Overall, I'd say it was worth the read.
