Modern Painters (Vol. 15) is Ruskins great Victorian treatise on landscape, fusing lyrical cadence with minute observation. Over seventeen years he vindicates Turner and the principle of "truth to nature," opposing academic formulae with analyses of clouds, rocks, foliage, and light informed by geology and travel. He coins the "pathetic fallacy," frames a moral theology of seeing, and links Giotto to the Pre-Raphaelites. Born to a cultivated wine-merchant father and exposed early to Turners work, Ruskin joined evangelical rigor, Oxford study, and Alpine sketchbooks. Travels through Switzerland and Italy taught him to measure mountains and skies before reputations; the first volume (1843) began as a defense of Turner against hostile critics. Later volumes deepen his synthesis of science, theology, and connoisseurship. This is indispensable for artists, historians, and attentive readers. Approach it for lessons in looking: how perception bears ethical weight and how description can rise to judgment. Read patiently, pencil in hand; Modern Painters still recalibrates the eye and conscience, providing a durable standard for criticism and a companion to the practice of seeing nature and art anew.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

First published in Victorian Britain, The Art of Perfumery, and Methods of Obtaining the Odors of Plants is both manual and manifesto. Piesse explains how to capture plant odors by steam distillation, maceration, enfleurage, and alcoholic tinctures, then organizes them into an olfactory taxonomy culminating in his famed scent-music analogy, a compositional scale. In crisp, practical prose he surveys materials from rose and jasmine to benzoin and vetiver, gives working formulae, notes apparatus and yields, and warns against adulteration, situating perfumery between craft practice and the new organic chemistry. G. W. Septimus Piesse, a London perfumer-chemist associated with the fashionable Bond Street trade, wrote from shop-floor experience and close reading of contemporary science. Eager to elevate his craft, he proposed an ordered scale of odors and translated tacit knowledge about solvents, fats, and volatility into teachable rules, reflecting a Victorian passion for classification and for reconciling industry with aesthetics. This classic suits historians of science and scent, students of Victorian material culture, and practicing perfumers alike. Read it for reliable procedures, period formulas, and, above all, a rigorous way to think about accords, fixatives, and longevity.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Maestros, ya no guías espirituales, ni modelos, ni sabios indómitos. Los contenidos comunicados: instituidos, examinados. Y sin embargo, emerge una ocasión. Quebrar el solipsismo, cultivar la atencion, fecundar pensamientos, abrir la observacion, afectar los limites del mundo: eso puede hacer un maestro. En el declive del asombro, en la anomia, en la noche que no sabe de la luz del alba: enseñar. Mostrar pasion y hastio, continuidad y ruptura, acercamiento y distancia. Estar compartido, ser en las aulas comunes, en la atencion calida y en el estudio sin fin, desgarrando la indiferencia, abriendo algo justo, critico y bello. La voluntad de saber forjando un manantial de pensamientos sin autoridad infalible. En ese espacio, una casa donde se explora y ensaya libremente, entre analisis, dialogos y silencios calidos, entre la comunidad y la soledad, ahi echar raices. Enseñar desvela el asombro. Sostiene la esperanza, la espera del alba; impulsa la apertura al conocete a ti mismo, el acceso a modos diferentes de intensificar la existencia y a revolucionar el pensamiento propio. La educacion, promesa de felicidad, persiste en un eterno retorno, clase a clase, curso a curso, para el asombro. Claudio Martyniuk es docente de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

El manifiesto de uno de los urbanistas más influyentes del mundo para humanizar y hacer más habitables las ciudades.El poder de la proximidad invita a repensar la vida urbana desde una mirada más humana y transformadora. Carlos Moreno propone una autentica revolucion urbanistica: habitar la ciudad -no solo alojarse en ella- redescubriendo el valor de la cercania. Defiende una ciudad compacta, accesible y vivible, donde la proximidad mejore la calidad de vida y fortaleczca los lazos sociales, culturales y ambientales.--------------La coleccion Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinion, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son mas un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversacion mas que saciarla e inician un festin (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.La critica ha dicho: En un mundo donde las ciudades crecen sin pausa y el tiempo de las personas se disuelve entre desplazamientos y distancias, Moreno propone una revolucion silenciosa pero profunda: reorganizar la vida urbana en torno a la proximidad, la equidad y el bienestar cotidiano.

He viajado por todo el mundo. He visto un monton de cosas. He conocido a gente fenomenal. Me ha ido bien. Me ha ido mal. Pero ahora mismo, no estoy listo para ir a ningun lado.

"A partir de la premisa de que cierta vertiente experimental del cine documental contemporáneo se abocaría sobre todo al devenir de las imágenes, Horizontes documentales examina la diversidad de recursos formales y dispositivos que desavienen la univocidad y tradicion propia de la imagen documental, para concederle un nuevo estatuto de legibilidad.Los nombres que se dan cita aqui son diversos: de Chris Marker a Radu Jude, de Apichatpong Weerasethakul a Harun Farocki, pasando por las obras multimediales de Zoe Beloff, Agnes Varda y Avi Mograbi. En un esfuerzo de recapitulacion de treinta años de produccion intelectual, Christa Blumlinger ofrece perspectivas de analisis en torno a obras que prestan atencion a los efectos mnemicos de las imagenes y donde resuenan el ejercicio ensayistico, el trabajo de archivo y la dislocacion del dispositivo del museo.Ya sea a proposito de la autoexposicion en clave grotesca de Mograbi, del empleo analitico del boceto de Gianikian y Ricci Lucchi, o de la exposicion del anclaje epistemico de las imagenes por medio del registro y el montaje de Farocki, Blumlinger sondea con este libro distintas formas de indagar los insterticios temporales y epistemicos que hacen del despunte del cine un mas aca y un mas alla de la historia."
