Nunca antes hemos recibido tanta información y de forma tan rápida y continua como en las últimas décadas. ¿Es capaz nuestro cerebrode adaptarse a esta realidad vertiginosa?Con frecuencia nos encontramos absortos ante el movil, haciendo scroll mas tiempo del que somos conscientes, o ver a otros en la misma situacion. Incluso a niños de corta edad. A nuestro alrededor ha surgido un enemigo que hace pocos años no podiamos ni imaginar: las pantallas.¿Son los moviles perjudiciales? ¿Cuanto? ¿Para quien? Vivimos un momento de absoluta incertidumbre y estamos aterrorizados con los posibles efectos perjudiciales de la tecnologia en niños y adolescentes. Sin embargo, la mayoria de las opiniones van mas cargadas de contundencia que de ciencia. En El cerebro hackeado, el neuropsicologo Aaron Fernandez del Olmo analiza nuestros miedos, nuestra forma de funcionar y la de los smartphones para explicar como los moviles estan cambiando nuestro cerebro. Alteraciones que ha hecho durante toda nuestra historia como especie, pero que nunca se ha visto obligado a realizar a la velocidad que le estamos imponiendo.Un punto de partida para plantearse que estamos dispuestos a aceptar en nuestra relacion con las pantallas y como podemos conseguir un uso de la tecnologia mas saludable.

La vida en sociedad es un escenario en constante movimiento, hecho de miradas, palabras, gestos y decisiones que, aun sin darnos cuenta, comunican quiénes somos y cómo nos relacionamos con los demás. Cada encuentro -desde un saludo cotidiano hasta una celebracion formal- es una oportunidad para expresar respeto, empatia y consideracion. Este libro nace precisamente de esa idea: la de ofrecer una guia clara, practica y reflexiva sobre las normas, usos y cuidados que hacen mas armoniosa la convivencia.A lo largo de sus capitulos se recorren los distintos ambitos en los que se despliega nuestra conducta social: el arte de conversar con naturalidad, la importancia del lenguaje corporal, la correccion en los saludos y presentaciones, el uso adecuado de tratamientos, asi como la atencion a nuestras posturas, ademanes y presencia personal. Tambien se abordan dimensiones mas intimas, como la relacion con nosotros mismos, el manejo de temperamentos y caracteres, o las dinamicas familiares y sociales que influyen en nuestro dia a dia.Del mismo modo, se ofrecen pautas sobre como actuar en acontecimientos especiales -desde un coctel hasta una boda o graduacion-, junto con recomendaciones sobre vestimenta, combinaciones de colores, cuidado personal y la manera correcta de recibir invitados en casa. Las invitaciones, su aceptacion y los obsequios merecen un lugar propio, asi como un compendio de reglas basicas que resumen la esencia del trato cortes. Finalmente, se incluye un apartado dedicado a esas palabras que tan a menudo nos generan dudas.Este libro no pretende imponer rigidez, sino brindar herramientas para movernos con seguridad y amabilidad en cualquier circunstancia. Las normas de protocolo y convivencia no son un fin en si mismo, sino un puente hacia relaciones mas respetuosas, autenticas y agradables. Que estas paginas te acompañen como una guia confiable y cercana, y que cada capitulo te invite a reflexionar sobre la forma en que construimos, dia a dia, nuestra mejor version en sociedad.

Fascinating and elegantly written, Master & Cartographer introduces a largely forgotten naval hero of Stuart England N.A.M. Rodger, author of The Safeguard of the Sea, The Command of the Ocean and The Price of VictoryThis is a book about maps and map-making, about power and class, and about war, seamanship and navigation. It is a study of wealth, patronage and money, in an England riven by religious disorder and toxic politics.Greenvile Collins (164394) was a naval warrant officer who caught the attention of a King. His seagoing career took him from Patagonia to the Arctic, into battles against Dutch men of war and Barbary corsairs, and to the slave markets and Silk Road ports of the Mediterranean. A scientific navigator, his professional drive drew him to Shetland, the Scilly Isles and all points in between, as he undertook the most ambitious hydrographic survey of the British coastline yet attempted.Then, even as he laboured to complete his monumental sea atlas, he was summoned yet again to the service of the Crown. The Glorious Revolution was a campaign of crisis for a deeply conflicted Royal Navy, and a crucial test of loyalty for Greenvile Collins and his fellow officers.Greenvile Collins emerges as a sympathetic hero, who served three kings while compiling invaluable charts and navigational data for his fellow sailors. Not since Patrick OBrians Aubrey-Maturin novels have I enjoyed such rollicking armchair adventures at sea Dava Sobel, author of Longitude
