Playing career Born in Montevideo, Uruguay , Bergara began his playing career at the age of 16, playing for Racing Club in the Uruguayan First Division , picking up a handful of under-21 caps for Uruguay , before moving to Spain in 1962 where he was top scorer for Real Mallorca for four seasons and Sevilla for two seasons.

Managerial career Bergara coached the reserve teams at Luton Town and Sheffield United before getting his first managerial job at Rochdale in August 1988. Bergara is often wrongly referred to as the first foreign manager in English football he was in fact preceded by managers such as the South African Peter Hauser , who managed Chester City between 1963 and 1968 but he is believed to be the first Football League manager who did not speak English as a first language. He was also the first manager born outside the British Isles to lead an English club out at Wembley , when he took Stockport County to the 1992 Autoglass Trophy final.

He ensured their Fourth Division survival that season and prevented them from slipping into the GM Vauxhall Conference .

How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin & How the Camel Got His Hump
Read by Jack Nicholson • Original Music by Bobby McFerrin
These familiar favorites from Rudyard Kipling feature the tale of a Parsee man who seeks revenge on a nasty rhino followed by the story of a lazy camel who learns the hard way that pride and arrogance are never a good combination.

How the Leopard Got His Spots
Read by Danny Glover•Original Music by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Hunting on the African plain was easy for the leopard since his light coat blended with the yellow hues of the landscape. But once all the animals moved to the striped and splotchy forest, things got much harder–so for his own survival he had to acquire spots. This tale is rich with subtle humor and enchanced by the gegntle sounds of South African a cappella harmonies.

Not My Taste
We got this for my 2 boys, ages 7 and 9. We loooove books on CD and have quite a few, as well as regularly check them out from our local library. Out of all those I've listened to, this one is probably one I care least for. I'm thinking of one of the stories in particular where the man with an native african accent repeats 'exclusively' so often, it's distracting. The accent isn't distracting, but I mentioned that because perhaps the frequency of the word has something to do with where he's from. I don't know. Anyway, the stories don't really capture our imagination. We almost never listen to this anymore.

Not really for very young children
I purchased this for my 3 year old daughter who loves stories and books, but this was a bit out of her league.The stories were good, but the verbage was way over her head, and didn't keep her interest.There is a lot of pausing for the music to be played, and she got bored very quickly.I will put it away and try again next year.

This is a family favorite!
My kids listened to the Rabbit Ears productions of the Just So stories when they were little, and now my granddaughter is doing the same.They are wonderful!Rabbit Ears Treasury of Animal Stories: How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Leopard Got His Spots, Monkey People

Fantastic for the Car
I have two sons, three and five, and this is by far the family favorite of all the Rabbit Ears CD's that we own.Nicholson is brilliant, taking his time and telling a great story.The marriage of Jack and Kipling is brilliant.Danny Glover's rendition of How the Leopard got his Spots, isn't my favorite, he has an affected "african" accent which is distracting and hard to understand, but sandwiched between the other Kipling stories and Raul Julia's reading of "The Monkey People", it can be overlooked.This is a double CD, which makes it a great gift for anyone with toddlers!I have bought it for my family and three others.

Rabbit Ears Animal Stories: The Best out of the whole series!
Rabbit Ears Animal Stories is one of the first audio CDs made from Rabbit Ears and is easily one of the best out of the whole series.This audio CD contains four stories about arrogant, rude, lazy, and determined animals.My favorite ones are: How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, How the Camel Got His Hump and The Monkey People.

Jack Nicholson, who narrates the stories "How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin" and "How the Camel Got His Hump," has a very silky voice that soothes you to the bone as you hear him narrate these stories and Bobby McFerrin's music is enchanting to listen to as he mainly uses various sounds to make music.Danny Glover is excellent in the story "How the Leoparad Got His Spots," as he uses an African accent to narrate the story and Lady Black Mambazo's music is definitely mesmerizing as they vocally sing in African tones.Raul Julia narrates with a proper tone in "The Monkey People" indicating the arrogance of the village people in the story and Lee Ritenour's music has a Colombian style that makes it interesting to listen to.This audio CD will clearly grab anyone's attention for Rabbit Ears fans. ...

It's a time for family and fun, for games and fireworks and backyard barbecues. Tonight, smoke will curl over homes on nearly every block as millions of families gather around the grill for the most American of meals: hamburgers and hot-dogs and barbecued chicken. Today I want to talk to you about the steps we're taking to make sure the food we cook in backyard barbecues is safe and wholesome. Our families have every right to expect the food they serve their children is safe. They have every right to expect the world's most bountiful food supply will also be the world's safest. And, in fact, our food is very safe. Nearly a century ago, after muckrakers exposed dirty conditions in meat- packing plants, we made a national commitment to protect the public from unsafe food. It was one of the first ways we came together to meet the challenges of that new industrial age. ... Read more

I thought I knew the story of apartheid.I believe everyone should read this book.Amazing convictions and courage!27 years in prison!I remember being in college and signing petitions re: free Mandela.Apartheid was bad, so I signed. If only Ihad known the whole story back then! I revisited this story, as I had read it once before.Once "Mandela's Ways" came out, I wanted to refresh my memory.Wow!The 2 books go together so very well!

More than a man.
This man has lived a remarkable life. this book describes some of the many struggles it took for him to become the man and the leader of a nation that he became. it is a must read, he is the real thing.

Delivered at promised
"Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela" by Nelson Mandela, arrived as advertised, very good condition packed safely in a bubble-pak.The book looks as if it was read only once by a person that respects books.I would recommend purchasing from the seller and would myself buy from them in the future.

Best Autobiography I've read
Not only a great historical fount of information, but a surprising look at Mandela the human being.Couple this with the fact that it is such a page turner that it is agonizing to walk away from and you've got the best book I've read in years.

Product Description
Read by Danny Glover, with an introduction by Kofi Annan.


Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.


LONG WALK TO FREEDOM is his moving and exhilarating autobiography, destined to take its place among the finest memoirs of history's greatest figures. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela tells the extraordinary story of his life--an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph.Amazon.com Review
The famously taciturn South African president reveals much of himself in Long Walk to Freedom. A good deal of this autobiography was written secretly while Mandela was imprisoned for 27 yearson Robben Island by South Africa's apartheid regime. Among the book's interesting revelations isMandela's ambivalence toward his lifetime of devotion to public works. It cost him two marriages and kept him distant from a family life he might otherwise have cherished. Long Walk to Freedom also discloses a strong andgenerous spirit that refused to be broken under the most trying circumstances--a spirit in whichjust about everybody can find something to admire. ...

Excellent
Honestly written and it helps one see what made him the Man for the Hour.

Excellent Chronicle
Nelson Mandela has become an icon of human freedom throughout the world. His intelligence, astute awareness of human nature,perseverence and sheer determination to stand against the "enemy" of injustice and cruelty is an example for all of mankind. His autobiography is an excellent chronicle of his life, his aspirations for his country and his sacrifice to attain those aspirations. I have come to admire Mr. Mandela all the more through his book. While I do not necessarily agree with all of his philosophies and ideas, I found myself rethinking some of mine. This is a thought provoking read.

An AMAZING life
Nelson Mandella "writes", unlike some so called authors who fill pages up to make readers think there is some substance...
After watching the movie Invictus, I was compelled to find out more about this man's influence in the destruction of Apartheid in So. Africa.Wow! Would you edure as much as he and come out of prison after so many years as HE? I respect Nelson even more.

A Beautiful Man
I've always had a great admiration for Nelson Mandela, but have only known the very basics about his life and political career. Whenever I saw him on TV I was always captivated by the man who had ruled a nation, yet seemed so grounded and modest that I could only respect him. I have to admit that up to the point of reading this book I was totally ignorant to the extremities of apartheid in South Africa for which Mr. Mandela had given his entire life to beating. I have now read these wonderful memoirs in their entirety and must say my admiration and respect for the man has increased to a level I genuinely cannot describe. Having an interest in history, this was undoubtedly a book that I had to read at some point, but up until this point I had, in my mind, placed the struggle against apartheid along the same lines as the civil rights movement in the United States; but I have now come to realise that, although there are similarities, there are a lot more differences.

One of the most glaring differences between the two, which Mr. Mandela touched upon in his memoirs, was that in the United States the black population were guaranteed equal rights through their constitution but simply had these taken away from them by the racist political elites, whereas in South Africa, there was legislation and laws forbidding equality to the black majority of the country and this helps distinguish very clearly the route Mr. Mandela had to take in beating apartheid. I'm not going to say much about the story itself as it's one to be read and enjoyed first hand, but I will give my impressions on Mr. Mandela which were gained purely from reading his memoirs. I gained the impression that he has always been aware he's not perfect, nor is he one that thinks he's always right. He is a man that shows respect to every person he meets, but he won't shy away from an argument or a battle when he is attacked either verbally or physically. He's a man of reflection and integrity; he will look back on a past decision and say honestly whether it was the right or wrong call of the time. He's a man who has a lot of love and respect for all of his family, political friends and his country. He has given all of his life in the pursuit of freedom for his country, and he deserves out respect for that.

He has a remarkable story to tell and it would be a shame if anyone who read this review or at some point had seen this book whilst browsing and skipped past it without even considering what they could learn. I've now an enormous appreciation for the fight which Mr. Mandela put up against the immense oppression of the South African government; and perhaps it has a greater message to send. The message we can all take from this is that, no matter how big the government or how powerful the oppression, the strength of human will and desire can truly overcome any obstacle thrown at it. Mr. Mandela also expresses a very strong message about there being goodness in all of us, no matter how much we try to hide it. He shows compassion towards those who were once his enemies as he realises that they are all good people at heart, and it is him and those like him that must teach those in the world whose job it is to hate, exactly how much better it is to love your enemy.

Beautiful life story of a beautiful man. You must own this book. ... Read more

The Barbi Twins are great
Playboy September 1991 is one-hundred and eighty-six pages. I read most of the articles with the exception of the Playboy's Pro Football Forecast (I am not a football fan), the Interview with Douglas Wilder, and 20 Questions with Danny Glover. The article on Who Made Danny Run? kept me asking who made Dan Quayle run for Vice President. The article most dealt with his grand-father Eugene Pulliam rise to fame in the newspaper industry then the article title. The article\pictorial on Tula; Tula only got one full frontal nude shot from the knees up. September's Playmate of the Month is Samantha Dorman and her pictorial is good. The only times she is nude is two back shots in her pictorial and her centerfold. The only thing that was really great is the Barbi Twins. With the exception of two pictures, they two were nude in all other photos. This issue left me upset a little. Playboy September 1991 gets a B+. ... Read more
