Here the shadows of the plants were miraculously distinct. She noticed the separate grains of earth in the flower beds as if she had a microscope stuck to her eye. She saw the intricacy of the twigs of every tree. —Virginia Woolf, Orlando Inspired by the writing of Virginia Woolf and the painting of Georgia O’Keefe, Lariane Fonseca uses the camera as a medium through which to depict the ‘passion of flowers’. This selection of her flowers showcases the breadth of her interest in nature’s contribution to the visual beauty and sensuality in our lives. It demonstrates her sensitivity and skill – a skill that reaches far beyond her comment – ‘I just take pictures’.

Join one boy's quest to build the ultimate tree house in this imaginative picture book about the good things we might be missing in our never-ending pursuit of "better."Domino's backyard isn't enough for him, so he builds a tree house. When the tree house isn't quite enough, he builds a tree cottage, then a tree mansion, and on and on, pursuing something "more"-something that he can't put his finger on and can't quite reach. In a series of escalating feats of tree-house engineering, Domino builds and builds, until he finds himself alone on the moon, still not satisfied.Gorgeous illustrations of a gravity-defying tree house will capture little ones' imaginations, while the satisfying conclusion will remind young readers that wanting more might cause us to miss the sweetness of what we already possess.

The Wari State was the first expansionistic power to develop in the Andean highlands. Emerging in the area of modern Ayacucho (Peru) around AD 650, the Wari expanded to control much of the central Andes by the time of their collapse at AD 1000. This book describes the discovery and excavation (2010-2012) of a major new Wari site (Espiritu Pampa), located in the subtropical region of Vilcabamba (Department of Cuzco). While it was long believed that the Wari established trade networks between their highland capital and the Amazonian lowlands, the identification of a large Wari site in the Vilcabamba region came as a surprise to most Wari specialists. This book covers the first three years of excavations at the Wari site of Espiritu Pampa. It describes the identification of a central plaza surrounded by a series of D-shaped structures, that are believed to be the loci of special activates for the Wari. It also describes the contents of more than 30 burials, many of which contained finely crafted silver, gold, bronze and ceramic objects.

New Mexico cultural envoy Juan Estevan Arellano, to whom this work is dedicated, writes that querencia "is that which gives us a sense of place, that which anchors us to the land, that which makes us a unique people, for it implies a deeply rooted knowledge of place, and for that reason we respect it as our home."This sentiment is echoed in the foreword by Rudolfo Anaya, in which he writes that "querencia is love of home, love of place." This collection of both deeply personal reflections and carefully researched studies explores the New Mexico homeland through the experiences and perspectives of Chicanx and indigenous/Genízaro writers and scholars from across the state. The importance of querencia for each contributor is apparent in their work and their ongoing studies, which have roots in the culture, history, literature, and popular media of New Mexico. Be inspired and enlightened by these essays and discover the history and belonging that is querencia.

Trece chicas, siete de ellas menores de edad, murieron fusiladas la madrugada del 5 de agosto de 1939 contra las tapias del cementerio del Este de Madrid. Su delito: ser rojas. El que tiene en las manos es una versión ampliada que recupera la figura de la Rosa 14, a la que una errata mecanográfica en la orden de ejecución, Antonio por Antonia, salvó de ser fusilada con sus compañeras. Descubierto el error, fue ejecutada seis meses más tarde, en febrero de 1940.No hay ficción. Los archivos militares, los penitenciarios, los del PCE y sobre todo las voces de quienes vivieron estos trágicos hechos trasladan al lector al Madrid de los primeros días de la posguerra, una ciudad víctima del odio y la revancha de los vencedores. La brutal represión franquista y un enigmático crimen condujeron a aquellas jóvenes idealistas a la muerte. Que mi nombre no se borre en la historia, dejó escrito Julia Conesa, de diecinueve años, una de las Trece Rosas, en la carta de despedida a su familia. Este t

The Lady of Solitude projects a fresh and daring new voice on to the Brazilian literary scene. These transgressive and highly charged erotic stories are all written from a woman’s point of view and they offer an unexpected perspective on the world, sex and desire in a changing Brazilian and global context. That is not to say that all of Parisot’s characters are strong, emancipated and resolute: they just live in a world where relationships of all kinds have changed. Avowedly a disciple of the famous detective writer Rubem Fonseca, Paula Parisot adds a new and sinister twist to crimes of passion in the big city. Some of the settings are familiar to Fonseca fans: high society salons, favelas, back alleys, and hotels in European capitals. Alternating the register from interior monologue to letters and omniscient narration, Parisot brings to the surface intimate moments as well as exact instants when certain social conventions change, move on or die.

El campo de la psicoterapia ha avanzado enormemente en los últimos años, si bien era necesario disponer de un nuevo tratado en español que tuviera como finalidad conocer cuáles son, en el momento actual, los tratamientos psicológicos que gozan de mayor respaldo científico para el abordaje de diferentes problemas psicológicos. Esta obra trata de poner a disposición de los y las profesionales de la psicología aquellos procedimientos de intervención que cuentan con mayores evidencias empíricas en función de las características de las personas que demandan ayuda. Asimismo, y frente a la diversificación de técnicas psicoterapéuticas, este manual también trata de recoger las tendencias más actuales referidas a los factores comunes, la integración de los enfoques terapéuticos y la evidencia basada en la práctica. En esencia, se pretende separar el grano de la paja, lo que funciona de lo que no, en lo relativo a los tratamientos psicológicos.

En el libro, además de la detallada exposición de los tratamientos psicológicos recomendados para diversos problemas, se hace un detallado análisis de sustanciales y trascendentales cuestiones previas al tratamiento, como es la naturaleza de los trastornos, que enfatiza la convicción de que no son trastornos cerebrales, sino que representan relaciones de redes de síntomas altamente complejas, que dependen de mecanismos culturales, históricos y ambientales; que son muy variables entre entornos e individuos, e incluso en la misma persona en diferentes entornos, circunstancias y épocas de la vida. Para los promotores del modelo de redes, el diagnóstico implica identificar redes de síntomas, mientras que el tratamiento implica cambiar o manipular la red psicopatológica.La elección de los procedimientos psicoterapéuticos desarrollados en este manual, así como la información complementaria sobre casos clínicos específicos y las fuentes documentales actualizadas, correspondientes a cada t

Just before the dawn of the new millennium, a curator at a New Jersey museum of natural history receives an unusual invitation from a celebrated fashion designer. She shares the curator's fascination with the hidden forms of the animal kingdom - with camouflage and subterfuge - and she proposes that they collaborate on an exhibition, the form of which itself remains largely obscure, even as they enter into a strange relationship marked by evasion and elision. Seven years later, after the death of the designer, the curator recovers the archive of their never-completed project. During a long night of insomnia, he finds within the archive a series of clues to the true story of the designer’s family, a mind-bending puzzle that winds from Haifa, Israel, to bohemian 1970s New York to the Latin American jungle. On the way, he discovers a cast of characters whose own fixations interrogate the unstable frontiers between art, science, politics, and religion: an aging photographer, living nearly alone in an abandoned mining town where subterranean fires rage without end, who creates models of ruined cities; a former model turned conceptual artist - and a defendant in a trial over the very nature and purpose of art; a young indigenous boy who has received a vision of the end of the world. Reality is a curtain, as the curator realises, and to draw it back is to reveal the theatre of obsession.
