Una impresionante colección de fotografías y textos en la que se revelan las simetrías ocultas del mundo natural. Una invitación a realizar un animado viaje por las innumerables estructuras, formas y patrones que podemos ver en los seres vivos. Cada fotografia va acompañada de un texto en el que el autor nos explica las cuestiones sobre la biologia y la geometria del tema, y nos hace participes de su perenne fascinacion por las formas de la naturaleza. De los dientes de los caracoles a las rayas de la cebra, del arbol de sasafras a los acaros de terciopelo, la galardonada fotografia de David Maitland revela como los sencillos principios de la geometria definen las formas del mundo natural. Si que es cierto que la belleza esta en los ojos de quien mira. Si, es un misterio, pero la naturaleza es bella. Cuanto mas se la mira y mas se sabe de ella, mas bella resulta. Lo principal es mirarla, y con detenimiento. Si no miramos, no vemos, y permanecemos en la oscuridad. Espero que este libro le revele algo de la belleza que nos rodea a todos.

A revolution is reshaping our understanding of human origins.Gone is the old narrative of slow, animal-like evolution. Instead, we now see humanitys emergence as marked by explosive transformations like the Palaeolithic spiritual leap that gave birth to cave art, a profound expression of shamanistic visionary consciousness. Even the long-misunderstood Neanderthals are now recognized as integral to our story.At the heart of this new prehistory lies the world of the cave artists, whose vision shaped the essential scope of human existence along with its inherent dangers and excesses. As explored in Andrew Welburns acclaimed Neanderthals and Atlantis, Rudolf Steiner and the New Prehistory (nominated for the 2025 ISSR International Book Prize), Steiners linking of the Atlantis legend and the betrayal of its Mysteries to this era gains startling new relevance. But the story does not end there. Steiner revealed how the great cultures of antiquity India, Persia, Egypt and Mesopotamia were not merely outdated belief systems but vital stages in humanitys evolution of consciousness. These traditions planted within us the seeds of moral sacrifice, commitment to a better world, and the courage to confront life and death. Today, cutting-edge prehistorians are abandoning the myth of culture as a patchwork of conquests, embracing instead a Palaeolithic Continuity Model that resonates deeply with Steiners vision.In this illuminating second volume, Welburn bridges the gap between the Ice Ages transformative crisis and a bold new interpretation of modernity. Drawing on Steiners insights including the profound Moses Mystery he reveals how the Bible and Christianity are illuminated by the hidden currents of human consciousness. A groundbreaking work that redefines our past to better understand our future.

Arabic erotic literature has a long and rich history, which goes back as far as the ninth century. Far from being the pursuit of prurient pornographers, eroticism and sexuality received considerable attention from scholars.Written by Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201 - 1274), one of the leading scientists of the age, The Sultans Sex Potions is part of a relatively small group of works devoted to aphrodisiacs, as well as sexual stimulants, sexual practices and positions. Sober and measured in tone, the work was intended to be a manual, which would allow the patient to dispense with the services of a physician. Written at the request of the ruler, its potions, electuaries, syrups and enemas enjoyed a royal warrant of appointment to arouse the lust for coitus and enhance sexual potency.This bilingual volume includes a critical edition of three manuscripts (Berlin, Cairo and Glasgow) and is accompanied by a translation, as well as an introduction to Arabic erotic literature, a biography of the author and extensive indexes.
