Después de la supraconciencia, llega la visión intuitiva.Una invitación revolucionaria a expandir nuestra consciencia: el poder de la visión intuitiva, al alcance de todos.Desde pequeños, nos han explicado que solo podemos ver a traves de los ojos. Sin embargo, hay momentos en los que, sin saber como, "vemos" mas alla de lo que tenemos delante. Y es que existe otra puerta de entrada al mundo que nada tiene que ver con los cinco sentidos: una capacidad de la consciencia que todos tenemos, pero que vive adormecida en nuestro interior.Basandose en su investigacion y en el trabajo con personas con ceguera, Tania Agorreta y Jordi Imbert presentan en este libro una obra pionera que abre la puerta a comprender y empezar a desarrollar esta capacidad desde la propia experiencia. De este modo, aprenderemos a vivir de forma mas plena y consciente. Porque el mundo entero cambia cuando cambia tu forma de verlo.

Da premiada autora de Rombo, um livro que revive a magia do cinema e viaja pelo seu imaginário colectivo a partir de uma localidade remota na Hungria.Prémio Kleist | Prémio Literário W.-G. Sebald | Premio Internacional Hermann Hesse | Premio Paul CelanAo viajar pelas vastas planicies do sudeste da Hungria, a narradora faz uma paragem numa pequena localidade quase abandonada perto da fronteira com a Romenia, cujo cinema - mozi em hungaro - esta fechado ha muito. Outrora centro pulsante da vida comunitaria, o edificio surge agora como ruina, e a sua importancia relegada para as historias e memorias dos que ainda permanecem naquela aldeia. Compelida pela irresistivel magia do cinema, e encorajada pelos habitantes, a narradora prope-se recuperar o antigo mozi num gesto de resistencia contra o apagamento desse lugar de experiencia coletiva.Em Ver Mais Alem, Esther Kinsky, uma das autoras mais premiadas da literatura alem contemporanea, presta uma homenagem - feita de autobiografia, ficço, ensaio e fotografia - ao cinema, realizando um exercicio de atenço profunda que convida o leitor a abrandar o passo e a expandir o seu modo de ver.Os elogios da critica:Uma ode ao poder transformador do cinema.Publishers WeeklyKinsky rompe barreiras entre generos literarios, misturando o autobiografico com o historico, a ficço com a no-ficço.World Literature Today

Humans used to be embedded in the natural world, but today many of us live sedentary screen-based lives indoors, treating nature as something distant to be watched on television or reached by flying elsewhere.In Unwilded, Alastair Humphreys examines the consequences of this disconnection and how it shapes our wellbeing, childhood, education, diets, lifestyles and the liveability of towns. On a wider scale, it explains why the climate and ecological emergencies feel abstract and beyond our individual responsibility.At the heart of the book is shifting baseline syndrome: from the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree to the extinction of possibly the most abundant bird species in history, it is the quiet process by which each generation accepts a depleted world as normal. Unwilded argues that change need not begin with grand gestures. It can begin with spending just fifteen minutes outdoors, paying attention. From nothing comes understanding, care and responsibility and the beginning of rewilding ourselves and the world.

The future has become a key focus in the social sciences, both as a research topic and as a space for political imagination and resistance. Since the climate crisis has moved into public consciousness, with movements like Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion, questions about what a climate-just future looks like and how it can be achieved have gained urgency.This book explores how different collective actors imagine and shape the future in the context of climate justice. It examines tensions between radical transformation, post-growth, and green modernization, as well as the contrasting ecological visions of left-wing and right-wing activism. Future imaginaries are presented not only as visions, but also as tools for action shaping resistance, inspiring self-organization, and influencing strategies for sustainable change.Drawing on examples from grassroots climate movements, guerrilla gardening, ecovillages, and other forms of collective action, this volume offers one of the first comprehensive overviews of how imagined futures can guide political practice and societal transformation.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode

French poet, essayist, art critic and translator Charles Baudelaire inaugurated a new era in world literature - indeed, he coined the term modernity. This fresh translation of his best poetry, by eminent translator, poet, and novelist Philip Terry, lays bare the richness and the long afterlife of Baudelaires verse, and brings out all the originality of his ideas.Here, in lushly visual and sonorous verse, we find themes that still preoccupy us today. Baudelaire captured life in the city like no one else, drawing a portrait of Paris as the ultimate glittering seductress - and also as a fragmented landscape peopled by isolated individuals. As much as an urban eyewitness, he was an incisive personal poet, vividly evoking the ebb and flow of desire: the joy of fulfilling it, the agony of feeling, and even worse, not feeling it. Terrys bold, contemporary translation style makes clear why Baudelaire, a century and a half after his death, is still the painter of modern life.

Building on the premise that landscapes provide a common ground where different kinds of knowledge may come together, this edited volume draws on a wide range of disciplines, including geology and geography, cultural anthropology and philosophy, architecture and art history. It suggests that the complex social and environmental crises of the 21st century cannot be understood independently of a historically constituted aesthetic approach to landscapes.Boulouki Itinerant Workshop on Traditional Building Crafts is a collective that deals with the traditional knowledge of building. Under the Landscape (Santorini and Therasia, 20212022), one of the collectives most important projects, comprised a participatory restoration, research into local materials, an exhibition and a symposium, and is the basis and starting point of this publication.

From The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley comes a candid memoir in which she reveals the unscripted moments that shaped who she is today.Dorit Kemsley has spent years cultivating a persona that exudes elegance, ambition, and confidence. But behind the designer labels and otherwise picture-perfect image lies a story of resilience, transformation, and self-discovery. Now, for the first time, shes telling this story in full. Before the cameras started rolling, Dorit was raised in a Jewish home in Connecticut, shaped by her familys international roots. But her early interest in fashion soon took her around the world for school and work, which later brought her back to New York City to launch her own global resort-wear line. Along the way, a charming Britthe man she once thought was the love of her lifeswept her off her feet . . .With the effortless charm of a best friend, Dorit reminisces on her early seasons as a Real Housewife, navigating new motherhood in the spotlight. She reveals the true stories behind #PantyGate and #PuppyGate and the ups and downs of her friendships with cast members across nearly a decade on the show. She delves into the fears and traumas she has long kept private, including the dissolution of her marriage to Paul "PK" Kemsley, the terrifying home invasion that shattered her sense of security, and the pressure of living under constant public scrutiny.With candor, humor, and the kind of perspective earned only by a woman who has lived as a wife and mother onscreen for eight seasons and counting, Dorit recounts the lessons shes learned, the mistakes shes made, and the strength shes discovered in starting over.

Cómo la hiperconectividad, los algoritmos y la IA están reconfigurando nuestra mente y nuestras emociones.UN LIBRO PARA ENTENDER QUÉ NOS ESTÁ PASANDO PSICOLÓGICA Y SOCIALMENTE EN LA ERA DIGITAL.La tecnologia no solo organiza nuestra vida: esta reorganizando nuestra mente.Vivimos conectados de forma permanente. Dormimos con el movil al lado, trabajamos frente a pantallas, nos informamos en redes sociales y tomamos decisiones cotidianas mediante inteligencias artificiales. Lo digital ya no es un simple entorno externo: es el lugar donde vivimos psicologicamente.Desde la ciberpsicologia, la disciplina que estudia como la tecnologia transforma la mente, la conducta y la vida emocional, Ariadna Vilalta analiza de que manera los algoritmos estan reconfigurando el apego, la atencion, el deseo, la autoestima, la verdad y el pensamiento critico. Una idea tan incomoda como urgente: no solo estamos usando tecnologia, sino que esta nos esta moldeando. Y entender ese impacto ya no es opcional, es una necesidad psicologica, educativa y social.Con un enfoque claro y riguroso, este ensayo aborda uno de los grandes retos de nuestro tiempo: comprender los mecanismos invisibles que nos influyen para recuperar la autonomia mental en una epoca diseñada para perderla.No es un libro para desconectar, es un libro para volver a pensar despacio. No es un libro contra la tecnologia, es un libro a favor de entenderla antes de que decida por nosotros.
