HarperCollins Publishers Remarkable Treks
Remarkable Treks is a compendium of exhilarating walks from around the planet – some lasting weeks, some lasting just a few days, but all of them set against spectacular backdrops. Following the same format as the award winning Remarkable Road Trips and Remarkable Bike Rides, Colin Salter has assembled 52 of the world's top-rated trails. The treks range in length from one-day hikes, to three-day hikes, to walks of almost expeditionary length. Thankfully, some of the longer routes, such as the Pacific Coast Trail in North America, which traverses the Rockies from Mexico to Canada, can be split up into sections. However for completists there are smaller challengers, such as the Pennine Way in England, which is never too far away from civilization, and by civilization we mean the pub. For the thrill-seeking backpackers there are the craggy peaks of Corsica (GR20 – which carries the ominous warning ‘some scrambling required’), or the hike up to Everest Base Camp. And for history buffs there is the Inca Trail in Peru or the 5-day hike to the Lost City of Teyuna in Colombia. Treks include: Samaria Gorge – Crete, Lycian Way – Turkey, Camino De Santiago – Spain, Routeburn Track – New Zealand, Laugavegur – Iceland, Torres Del Paine – Chile, Overland Track – Australia, Kungsleden – Sweden, West Highland Way – Scotland, John Muir Trail – USA, Alta Via 1 – Italy, Haute Route Pyrennes– Spain/France, Drakensberg Grand Traverse – South Africa, Western Way – Ireland, Via Dinerica – Albania/Bosnia/Croatia/Kosovo, GR221 Dry Stone Route – Majorca, Chilkoot Trail – USA/Canada, Toukbal Circuit – Morocco, Tour of the Matterhorn – Switzerland, Wadi Rum and Petra – Jordan.

Thames & Hudson Ltd Pilgrimage: Journeys of Meaning
A thought-provoking reflection on pilgrimage past and present, and a compelling exploration of its relevance today. The enormous rise in popularity in recent decades of the Camino, the ancient pilgrim path that stretches from France, across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela, is part of a wider phenomenon being witnessed on other time-honoured pilgrim routes around the globe and across the faiths. But this is happening in a world that in many places is self-avowedly ever more sceptical, secular and scientific, with formal religious affiliation in steep decline. Why? Some argue that tourism is the new religion, and that those who today walk in the footsteps of countless past generations of believers do so to enjoy the holiday experience, the escape from their everyday world, the health benefits of so much exercise, and the companionship, without seeking any sort of spiritual enlightenment. Yet by looking at a diverse range of pilgrimage sites that includes Rome, Jerusalem, Lalibela in Ethiopia, the Buddha Trail in northern India, Shikoku in Japan and the self-styled ‘power place’ of Machu Picchu in Peru, Peter Stanford draws on his own experience as a pilgrim to argue that something more complex and challenging is going on. Financial crises, increasing inequality, climate change and worldwide pandemics are causing people to question the very foundations on which their post religion, twenty-first-century lives are built. This book considers how pilgrimage, with its long history, essential intertwining of arduous journey and openness to personal transformation, is providing the modern age with a means to take a longer, slower and hence more profound look at life, stretching all the way back to when the first pilgrim put one foot in front of another.

Headline Publishing Group Between the Chalk and the Sea: A journey on foot into the past
'I loved this memoir' - Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path'A whole new way of looking at a familiar landscape' - Neil Ansell, author of The Last Wilderness'Delightful' - Country LifeAn old map. A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.When Henry VIII banned pilgrimage in 1538, he ended not only a centuries-old tradition of walking as an act of faith, but a valuable chance to discover the joy of walking as an escape from the burdens of everyday life.Much was lost when these journeys faded from our collective memory, but clues to our past remain. On an antique map in Oxford's Bodleian Library, a faint red line threading through towns and villages between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the celebrated shrine of Thomas Becket.Described as England's Camino, this long-distance footpath carves through one of the nation's most iconic landscapes - one that links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports.Over four seasons, travel writer Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a long journey on foot offers us today. In the age of the car, what does it mean to embrace 'slow travel'? Why does being a woman walking alone still feel like a radical act? In an age when walking connects the nation, can we now reclaim pilgrimage as a secular act?Winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, Gail ventures deep into our past, exploring this lost path and telling a story of kings and knights, peasants and pilgrims, of ancient folklore and modern politics. Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail's walk along the Old Way reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

Muñoz Pérez examines the importance of women in political and cultural life at the Spanish courtrough the case of Teresa Valle, spiritual counsellor of Olivares. Co-Winner of the 2014 Publication Prize awarded by the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland Esta monografía revela la importancia de las mujeres en la política y cultura de la corte española pormedio del caso de Teresa Valle, consejera espiritual de Olivares, el favorito de Felipe IV. A través del análisis de fuentes originales como son cartas, escritos literarios e inquisitoriales, la autora demuestra que las relaciones entre poderosos nobles y religiosas fue también un elemento esencial de mecenazgo barroco. Se trataba, entre otros, de un medio de publicidad y poder para ellos y una vía de acceso a la cultura para ellas. Además, la autora analiza los escritos de Teresa, revelando su identidad literaria. El camino de la monja por los resortes literarios permite que se definan nuevos métodos de estudio de la escritura femenina y de las estrategias discursivas que utilizaron las religiosas de la época. This monograph reveals the importance of women in political and cultural life at the Spanish court through the case of Teresa Valle, spiritual counsellor of Olivares, the favourite of King Philip IV. Through an analysis of diverse primary sources such as letters, literary writings, and Inquisition records the author demonstrates how relations between noblemen and religious women formed a key aspect of Baroque patronage and exchange, forming an essential tool of publicity and power for the former, and a way of access to the literary domain for the latter. At the heart of this book there is a study of the writings that Teresa produced, revealing her emerging literary identity. The nuns path into literature also allows the author to define new ways of understanding female writing in Golden Age Spain and clarify the discursive strategies that religious women negotiated. Laura S. Muñoz Pérez is currently a Lecturer at the University of Oxford.

Winner at the 2019 Independent Press Awards. A beautiful story, printed on stone paper, about the importance, care, and preservation of trees, and the small steps we can all take to care for the planet.One night, the trees in the forest decided it’s time to uproot and leave. They yanked out their roots and dragged themselves off across the fields. On his way to school, Goran soon realized what is happening… All the trees had disappeared and holes could be seen where they used to be. Bewildered, he rushed home to find if the tree in his garden had vanished as well. He loved that tree, it used to be his friend during springtime when he swung from his branches, and also in summer when its leaves protected him from the hot sun. Understanding the consequences this would have for animals, humans, and the environment, he set off to counteract the damage that had already been done.Ganador del premio Independent Press Award en 2019. Una hermosa historia, impresa en papel de piedra, que nos recuerda la importancia de los árboles y de su conservación y nos anima a cuidar el planeta.Una noche, los árboles del bosque decidieron que era hora de arrancar de raíz y marcharse. Arrancaron sus raíces y se arrastraron por los campos. De camino a la escuela, Goran pronto se dio cuenta de lo que estaba pasando… Todos los árboles habían desaparecido dejando grandes agujeros allí donde solían estar. Desconcertado, Goran corrió a casa para ver si el árbol de su jardín también se había marchado. Amaba ese árbol, solía ser su amigo durante la primavera cuando se colgaba de sus ramas, y también en verano cuando sus hojas lo protegían del calor del sol. Cuando comprendió realmente las consecuencias que este desastre conllevaría para los animales, los seres humanos y el medio ambiente, no dudó ni un segundo y se puso en marcha para contrarrestar el daño que ya se había hecho.

The capacity to read and write are different abilities, yet while studies of medieval readers and reading have proliferated in recent years, there has so far been little examination of how people learnt to write in the middle ages- an aspect of literacy which this volume aims to address. The papers published here discuss evidence adduced from the "a sgraffio" writing of Ancient Rome, through the attempts of scribes to model their handwriting after that ofthe master-scribe in a disciplined scriptorium, to the repeated copying of set phrases in a Florentine merchant's day book. They show how a careful study of handwriting witnesses the reception of the twenty-three letter Latin alphabet in different countries of medieval Europe, and its necessary adaptation to represent vernacular sounds. Monastic customaries provide evidence of teaching and learning in early scriptoria, while an investigation of the grammarians is a reminder that for the medieval scholar learning to write did not mean simply mastering the skill of holding a quill and forming one's letters properly, but also mastering a correct understanding of grammar and punctuation. Other essays consider the European reception of the so-called Arabic numbers, provide an edition of a fifteenth-century tract on how to use abbreviations correctly, and illustrate how images of writing on wax tablets and learning in school can throw light on medieval practice. The volume concludes with a paper on the ways in which a sixteenth-century amateur theologican deployed Latin, Greek and Hebrew alphabets. P.R. Robinson is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of English Studies, University of London.

Bradt Travel Guides Dordogne & Lot: with Bordeaux & Toulouse
Bradt's Dordogne & Lot, with Bordeaux & Toulouse is the most detailed guide to the entire region, with coverage that includes the Lot-et-Garonne and Tarn-et-Garonne in addition to Dordogne, Lot and Bordeaux. Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls (authors of the original Cadogan guide to the area) have lived in the Lot valley for over thirty years and are the perfect guides to the region's landscapes, towns, food, art, architecture and, of course, wine: Bordeaux's 8,800 wine châteaux produce on average 650 million bottles a year! Their guide starts with Bordeaux, the capital of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region as well as the world capital of wine, along with the départements of the Gironde, Dordogne, Lot, Lot-et-Garonne, and Tarn-et-Garonne in between. This is a land of great wines and stunning rivers, encompassing long sandy beaches along the Côte d'Argent (with Europe's biggest sand dune on the south end), forests and rolling hills. Here, too, are the UNESCO-listed Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vézère Valley, and extraordinary Palaeolithic masterpieces (Lascaux, Font de Gaume and Pech Merle). History has been made here, evidenced in medieval castles and bastides, and beautiful old cities such as Sarlat, Périgueux, St-Émilion, Cahors and Figeac. Hundreds of unspoiled villages dot landscapes that are among the most idyllic in France, while Romanesque churches, including the great abbey at Moissac, are a feast for art lovers. Outdoor activities are well covered, too, including cycling, sailing, surfing, canoeing, kayaking and walking the numerous Grand Randonnées (including three main routes of the Camino de Santiago) that pass through here, along with scores of other paths. And last but not least, the food is good: think truffles, oysters, duck, saffron, strawberries and melons, walnut groves and orchards. The weekly markets are gorgeous, and the summers are filled with wine, music and theatre festivals. All of this and more is covered by expert authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls in this new title from Bradt, offering all the information you need both prior to departure and while on the road.

Pushkin Press A Sense of Direction: Pilgrimage for the Restless and the Hopeful
A young secular writer's journey along ancient religious pilgrimage routes in Spain, Japan and Ukraine leads to a surprise family reconciliation in this literary memoir Gideon Lewis-Kraus arrived in free-spirited Berlin from San Francisco as a young writer in search of a place to enjoy life to the fullest, and to forget the pain his father, a gay rabbi, had caused his family when he came out in middle age and emotionally abandoned his sons. But Berlin offers only unfocused dissipation, frustration and anxiety; to find what he is looking for (though he's not quite sure what it is), Gideon undertakes three separate ancient pilgrimages, travelling hundreds of miles: the thousand-year old Camino de Santiago in Spain with a friend, a solo circuit of eighty-eight Buddhist temples on the Japanese island of Shikoku, and finally, with his father and brother, a migration to the tomb of a famous Hassidic mystic in the Ukraine. It is on this last pilgrimage that Gideon reconnects with his father, and discovers that the most difficult and meaningful quest of all was the journey of his heart. A beautifully written, throught-provoking, and very moving meditation on what gives our lives a sense of purpose, and how we travel between past and present in search of hope for our future. "Beautiful, often very funny... a story that is both searching and purposeful, one that forces the reader, like the pilgrim, to value the journey as much as the destination." New Yorker "If David Foster Wallace had written Eat, Pray, Love it might have come close to approximating the adventures of Gideon Lewis-Kraus" Gary Shteyngart "Gideon Lewis-Kraus has written a very honest, very smart, very moving book about being young and rootless and even wayward. With great compassion and zeal he gets at the question: why search the world to solve the riddle of your own heart?" Dave Eggers Gideon Lewis-Kraus has written for numerous US publications, including Harper's, The Believer, The New York Times Book Review, Los Angeles Times Book Review, Slate and others. A 2007-08 Fulbright scholarship brought him to Berlin, a hotbed of contemporary restlessness where he conceived this book. He now lives in New York, but continues to find himself frequently on the road to other places.

The Self-Publishing Partnership Ltd Canterbury And Other Tales: Treading Ancient Trails
Treading Ancient Trails Seeking solace after the death of her husband, Kim Letson discovers a passion for long- distance walking. Through historical and cultural prisms, accompanied by memories, curiosity, and friends, Letson connects ancient and modern journeys. The Coast to Coast, Cornish Coastal Path, and Ridgeway in England offer opportunities for adventure. As a pilgrim, she explores a Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, the Pilgrims’ Way from Winchester to Canterbury, and then the Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome. Readers share both the wonders and challenges of the journeys, from mountain passes to wind-swept beaches, from Gothic cathedrals to mysterious stone henges. Kim Letson has created a curative elixir with Canterbury and Other Tales, a sumptuous blend of adventure-memoir, escape, loss and healing shared in concise, engaging vignettes. Letson’s prose shuttles us into each trek, as though granting exclusive peeks into the author’s personal travel diary. A series of stories you won’t want to end. Bill Arnott – poet and bestselling author. This book vividly brings back the joys of walking and riding many of the same pathways and facing some of the same challenges which Letson presents with unvarnished candour. While the journeys do not all carry the title of pilgrimage, they all share the pilgrim sense of an inner search – a need to fill the void of the tragic loss of her husband and mother with both a rationale for her own existence and her relationship with the world. Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head, To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired: William Shakespeare, “Sonnet 27,” 1609 Paul Chinn – author of the Lightfoot Guidebooks. Kim Letson has done it again. In this latest collection of journeys, she shares intimate moments, challenges of the terrain, encounters with both fellow travellers and those who host pilgrims such as her. Walking alongside shadows of the past, she describes intriguing details and the broad sweep of historical context for her travels and surroundings. Her insights are often humorous and sometimes wry, but it is her accomplishments and tenacity which leave us in awe and just a little envious. Christine Dickinson – historian and author. Like their namesake, these tales are much more than a guided tromp across some of Europe’s best treks and pilgrimages. They are also reflections on love, friendship, loss and what it means to be human. Letson shares lyrical glimpses of the landscapes and history she encounters: the uphill grinds, the wet boots, the soaring cathedrals and sweeping views. In her deft hands we are changed. Jeanette Taylor – historian and author.

Brisance Books Group TIMELESS YOUTH / TÚ ETERNA JUVENTUD: THE FIVE TRUTHS OF TRANSFORMATIONAL WELLNESS AND HOLISTIC HEALING / LAS CINCO VERDADES DEL BIENESTAR TRANSFORMACIONAL Y LA SANACIÓN HOLÍSTICA
Tú Eterna Juventud es la historia del viaje de Jeff Crippen a través del sistema médico tradicional en busca de un tratamiento eficaz para las migrañas debilitantes. A pesar de que buscó lo mejor que la atención médica podía ofrecer - desde médicos de renombre hasta medicamentos farmacéuticos - sus dolores de cabeza persistieron y se intensificaron igual que sus niveles de frustración al buscar respuestas, empatía y alivio de un sistema que lo veía como una colección de síntomas, no como una persona completa.Gracias a la frustración, sabía que debía haber una mejor manera de crear y mantener la salud. Debido a su propio dolor como paciente, embarcó en un viaje para deshacerse por su cuenta – y para siempre – de las migrañas que afectaron su vida durante décadas. En el camino, primero como paciente y luego como Doctor en Quiropráctica con un enfoque en nutrición, descubrió que la salud es mucho más que la simple ausencia de síntomas. Con demasiada frecuencia, el sistema médico define la salud por lo que no es, sin preguntarse la definición de la verdadera salud. Su búsqueda de la salud lo llevó a cinco principios clave sobre los cuales construye su práctica y su vida actual: El Principio Yellowstone, El Principio del Modelo A, El Principio Cuántico, El Principio de Fuerza Olímpica y El Principio de Tu Yo Dorado. Al escribir Tú Eterna Juventud, el Dr. Jeff comparte los cinco principios fundamentales de la salud para que tu también puedas crear Tú Eterna Juventud.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTimeless You-th is the story of Jeff Crippen’s journey through the traditional medical system trying to find an effective treatment for debilitating migraines. Despite seeking the best that medical care had to offer, from renowned doctors to pharmaceutical drugs, his headaches persisted and intensified, as did his frustration levels as he sought answers, empathy, and relief from a system that saw him as a collection of symptoms and not a whole person.Through the frustration, he knew there must be a better way to create and maintain health. Born out of his own pain as a patient, he embarked on a journey to rid himself — forever — of headaches that had impacted his life for decades. On the journey, first as a patient and later as a Doctor of Chiropractic with a focus on nutrition, he found there is a lot more to health than just the absence of symptoms. All too often, the medical system defines health by what it isn’t, leaving the definition of true health both unaddressed and unanswered.His search for health led him to five key principles that his practice and his life are built on today: The Yellowstone Principle, the Model A principle, the Quantum Principle, the Principle of Olympic Strength, and the Principle of the Golden You.In writing Timeless You-th, Dr. Jeff shares the five foundational principles of health so that you, too, can create a lifetime of timeless you-th.

Charco Press Habana año cero
Sexo, mentiras e historia científica convergen en La Habana en el año 1993."Era como si hubiéramos alcanzado el punto crítico mínimo de una curva matemática. ¿Tiene presente una parábola? El cero de abajo, el hueco, el abismo. Hasta ahí llegamos."Corre el año 1993. Cuba está en lo más álgido del Período Especial, un profunda crisis económica tras el colapso del bloque soviético.Para Julia, una profesora de matemática que detesta enseñar, La Habana está en su año cero: el punto más bajo, camino a ninguna parte. Desesperada por tomar las riendas de su vida, Julia se une a Euclides, su colega y ex amante, para emprender la búsqueda del documento que compruebe que el teléfono fue inventado por Antonio Meucci, en La Habana. Creen que esta es la respuesta para proteger su reputación y darle a Cuba un nuevo propósito.A partir de este punto cero, Julia da inicio a una investigación que la acercará a dos hombres que prometen guiarla hasta el documento, y que la verá involucrada en un enredado misterio de pasión, legados familiares y las complejidades de cómo la gente encuentra maneras de sobrevivir en un país que vive la más terrible de sus crisis. "It was as if we’d reached the minimum critical point of a mathematical curve. Imagine a parabola. Zero point down, at the bottom of an abyss. That’s how low we sank."The year is 1993. Cuba is at the height of the Special Period, a widespread economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet bloc.For Julia, a mathematics lecturer who hates teaching, Havana is at Year Zero: the lowest possible point, going nowhere. Desperate to seize control of her life, Julia teams up with her colleague and former lover, Euclid, to seek out a document that proves the telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci in Havana, convinced it is the answer to secure their reputations and give Cuba a purpose once more.From this point zero, Julia sets out on an investigation to befriend two men who could help lead to the document’s whereabouts, and must pick apart a tangled mystery of sex, family legacies and the intricacies of how people find ways to survive in a country at its lowest ebb.Sex, lies, and scientific history collide in 1993 Havana.It was as if we’d reached the minimum critical point of a mathematical curve. Imagine a parabola. Zero point down, at the bottom of an abyss. That’s how low we sank.The year is 1993. Cuba is at the height of the Special Period, a widespread economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet bloc.For Julia, a mathematics lecturer who hates teaching, this is Year Zero: the lowest possible point.

What begins as an investigation into scientific history becomes a tangle of sex, friendship, family legacies, and the intricacies of how people find ways to survive in a country at its lowest ebb.

Si uno se propusiera crear una feminista, ¿cómo lo haría? Si una se convirtiera en feminista y viera lo que es el verdadero feminismo, ¿seguiría siendo una? ¿Cuál es el objetivo final del feminismo? ¿Existe una verdadera libertad dentro del feminismo o el fin es un ejercicio en vano? ¿Cómo se garantiza que la generación del mañana no sea víctima de la cosmovisión del feminismo? ¿Cómo rescatar a los que ya han sido víctimas de él? En este libro, Huff explica cómo el verdadero feminismo: Crea un grave problema Entorpece a su público Presenta falsos problemas e histeria colectiva Crea una identidad propia entre sus víctimas Altera, modifica y se aprovecha de sus víctimas Influye en sus víctimas, y Desacredita a sus víctimas El libro también es útil para las personas que buscan ayudar a otras que son susceptibles de caer presas del verdadero feminismo, a la vez que sirve como herramienta para quienes buscan ayudar a las que han caído presas del verdadero feminismo.How to Manufacture a FeministIn her first book with HarperEnfoque, author, speaker, and former feminist leader, Sara Huff addresses the problem of true feminism, which has corrupted and attenuated the value and role of women and society and sold them a false freedom, and helps the reader avoid falling into its clutches and its tragic conclusion.In How to Manufacture a Feminist, Sara Huff provides valuable historical background and research on feminism, as well as providing first-hand experience on the making of a true feminist and the utter destruction that awaits her if she continues down the path of true feminism.The author answers questions about true feminism such as: What is true feminism? What is a true feminist? What are the consequences? If one were to set out to create a feminist, how would one go about it? If one were to become a feminist and see what true feminism is, would one still be one? What is the ultimate goal of feminism? Is there true freedom within feminism or is in the end an exercise in futility? How does one ensure that tomorrow's generation does not fall victim to feminism's worldview? How do we rescue those who have already fallen victim to it? This book is also useful for people seeking to help others who are susceptible to falling prey to true feminism, while serving as a tool for those seeking to help those who have fallen prey to true feminism.

NEWTYPE Publishing Los Secretos de Dios: Una Vida llena de Palabras de Conocimiento
EscribÍ este libro porque yo creo fuertemente que TU PUEDES CRECER EN PALABRAS DE CONOCIMIENTO! Pablo anima a los creyentes en primera de Corintios 14:1 a seguir el amor y procurar los dones espirituales, pero sobre todo que profeticÉis. El nunca nos dirÍa que procuremos algo o nos animarÍa a seguir los dones en a iglesia si es que no pudiÉsemos acceder a ellos. Las palabras de conocimiento son un aspecto de los dones profÉticos que podemos desarrollar de la misma manera como desarrollamos cualquier otro don espiritual. A lo largo de este libro quiera darte Fe, el modelo y las escrituras para que empieces tu propio caminar profÉtico, para que puedas tu mismo buscar y experimentar este asombroso don que hace que el mundo se sienta tan amado y conocido por nuestro Padre que esta en el cielo. Las palabras de conocimiento han sido uno de los aspectos menos desarrollados de los dones de revelaciÓn y sin embargo son unos de los mas poderosos dones que la iglesia puede usar. Nos ayudan a definir esos momentos de asombro - “ah ja” cuando nos damos cuenta que Dios es real, y esta presente y te ama. Crea un espacio para que las personas estÉn en asombro y aun en shock de quien Dios es y cuan Íntimamente los ama a ellos y a todo al humanidad. Palabras de Conocimiento suenan a lago muy simple, pero llevan consigo un encuentro total con el Dios de todo el universo y causa que el Dios que siempre esta presente se manifieste a esa persona que recibe la palabra en aquel momento. La gente siente que el Dios de todo el universo se preocupa especÍficamente sobre los detalles mas Íntimos de sus vidas y sus corazones. Yo creo que necesitamos restaurar este don a su lugar correcto en nuestros corazones y que se convierta en una de las metas de cÓmo nos movemos en profecÍa. Los cristianos que empiezan a escuchar el corazÓn y la mente de Dios sobre los eventos actuales, experiencias pasadas, y todo las demÁs que sucede en medio, van a ser una de las fuentes mas valiosas en el mundo para aconsejar en los dÍas que estÁn por venir. JesÚs logro influenciar audiencias influyentes con simples palabras de conocimiento y sabidurÍa profÉtica. Como la historia de Zaqueo quien era un odiado recaudador de impuestos. Zaqueo era un hombre pequeÑo y se subiÓ a un Árbol para tratar de ver a JesÚs. El esperaba quizÁs que JesÚs le preste atenciÓn sin embargo sabia que probablemente JesÚs continuarÍa su camino. Pero JesÚs le vio ahÍ y le llamo por su nombre, una palabra de conocimiento, y le dijo “Zaqueo, baja y prepara tu casa para visitarte” Zaqueo estaba sorprendido, emocionado, asustado y serio en ese momento. Algunas personas de la multitud que eran religiosas dijeron - No vayas a estar con un deshonesto, un hombre indigno! Si lo conocieras nunca pusieras un pie en su casa - Zaqueo se defendiÓ a si mismo sin querer perderse la oportunidad pero JesÚs lo validÓ diciendo “No te preocupes, voy a ir a tu casa” Porque JesÚs no estaba mirando lo natural, el podÍa compartir el afecto y el amor y la visiÓn del Padre en el cielo para este pequeÑo hombre. Y fue un modelo a seguir para cientos de personas a su alrededor que tambiÉn se sentÍan indignos de conectarse con Dios . JesÚs amo aun a las personas que no se sentÍan dignas de su amor. Cuando de nosotros nos perdemos preciosas oportunidades de amar porque no vemos a las personas con ojos de revelaciÓn? Si estamos limitados a lo que podemos ver o discernir, nos perderemos las mejores oportunidades en la vida.

Damiani David Shama: Do Not Feed Alligators
David Shama’s first monograph Do Not Feed Alligators takes us on an existential journey into the decayed post-capitalist topography of a largely forgotten America– one where he presents youth engaged in achingly commonplace activities. There is an overarching sense in all of these pictures that his subjects are the angel-headed hipsters of a generation that has somehow been left behind, traversing what is left of a tragic, broken landscape–their thousand-yard stares seeking Elysian fields glinting seductively in the setting sun of their minds, far beyond the edge of the world. Shama employs Americana to map a narrative of existence among the flotsam and jetsam of society, where abandoned cars, vacated diners and dive motels act as the leitmotif of a journey into being and nothingness. While there are flashes of naturalistic beauty in the way in which his young muses are caught in the eye of his lens, there is no sentimentality, rather every frame contains a haunted, limbo-esque atmosphere. These figures, we are always aware, count their number among the beautiful and the damned. Ultimately, Do Not Feed Alligators seeks to suggest that we are all on a metaphorical road to nowhere– an apocalyptic landscape of the soul that is both beautiful in its mundane temporality, and boundless in its potential for quietly enticing mythology. Frecnh: La première monographie de David Shama, Do Not Feed Alligators, nous entraîne dans un voyage existentiel à travers la topographie post-capitaliste délabrée d'une Amérique largement oubliée - une Amérique où il présente de jeunes gens engagés dans des activités extrêmement banales. Il y a un sentiment général dans toutes ces images que ses sujets sont les anges branchés d'une génération qui a été en quelque sorte laissée pour compte, traversant ce qui reste d'un paysage tragique et brisé - leurs regards lointains scrutent les champs élyséens qui scintillent séduisants dans le soleil couchant de leurs esprit, bien au-delà des frontières du monde. Shama utilise l'Americana pour cartographier un récit sur l'existence au sein d’une société perdue, où les voitures délaissés, les restaurants abandonnés et les motels bon marchés sont le leitmotiv d'un voyage dans l'existence et le néant. S'il y a des éclairs de beauté naturaliste dans la façon dont ses jeunes muses sont prises dans l'œil de son objectif, il n'y a pas de sentimentalité, mais plutôt une atmosphère hantée et limbesque. Ces personnages, nous en sommes toujours conscients, comptent parmi les beaux et les damnés. En fin de compte, Do Not Feed Alligators cherche à suggérer que nous sommes tous sur un chemin métaphorique vers nulle part - un paysage apocalyptique de l'âme qui est à la fois beau dans sa temporalité mondaine et illimité dans son potentiel pour séduire tranquillement par sa mythologie. Spanish: Spanish: Un viaje hacia la América olvidada es la nueva propuesta de David Shama, un fotógrafo suizo que se entrega de lleno a cada trabajo que realiza. Do Not Feed Alligators es el primer libro monográfico que publica, una verdadera experiencia emocional para el espectador. Coches abandonados, restaurantes sin comensales y moteles destartalados constituyen el paisaje decadente de una sociedad postcapitalista. En medio de una rutina gris, jóvenes que conservan aún la belleza de los que creen en sus sueños. La temporalidad nos atrapa en un camino hacia la nada y Shama presenta esta realidad embrujada para transportarnos al espacio sin límites de la mente humana. David Shama es más conocido por su trabajo en el mundo de la moda, pero des del 2005 no ha parado de fotografiar la vida en su expresión más espontánea y natural. El artista parece tener una capacidad innata para hallar belleza en lo ordinario, en lo raído, y cargar de emoción cada una de sus fotografías; quizá por ello se ha hecho un nombre en el mundo del fotoperiodismo, ha expuesto en varias galerías y publicado en distintas revistas. Uno de sus particulares proyectos en busca de la espontaneidad ha consistido en crear series fotográficas a partir de rutas de una semana con chicas a las que acababa de conocer. En ellas, el viaje y el descubrimiento de nuevos paisajes iba acompañado del viaje simultáneo hacia el mundo interior de las modelos.Cada una de las imágenes de Shama es el reflejo de su propia fascinación por lo auténtico, un lenguaje visual sin pretensiones capaz de conmover a cualquiera. Ahora, el fotógrafo nos seduce con Do Not Feed Alligators, un relato acerca la existencia humana desde una veracidad y una cotidianidad estremecedoras.
