Pisar a fondo el freno aun sabiendo que el golpe será inevitable. Así es este libro. Un reencuentro con el amor que no fue, con la infancia que pasó, con la tristeza que nunca quisimos que nos sucediera, un volver a encontrarte en el mismo pupitre de antes, ante la puerta de la chica que te gustaba, ante la boca de metro del primer beso o frente a su boca. A secas. Asumible y directo, como un gancho de derechas a la mandíbula, como un tenemos que hablar, como palabras necesarias que duelen tanto como curan. Una poesía llena de madrugadas frías y regazos.Daniel Rivera (Medina del Campo, 1992) aprendió a escribir leyendo. Un día comprendió que las palabras escritas se le daban mejor que las habladas y empezó a contar las cosas que le hubiese gustado poder decir en voz alta. Abrió un blog que no tuvo éxito, un Twitter que tampoco y, finalmente, encontró en Instagram un lugar donde quedarse. Y allí sigue, aprendiendo a escribir viviendo.

How can we imagine a technologized life that deviates from globalized norms and standardization and from our collective obsession with endless growth? ​In 'Deserted Devices and Wasted Fences', artist and cultural critic Dani Ploeger examines everyday technologies found in places and circumstances that are usually unforeseen by their designers, manufacturers and marketers. He travels through second-hand markets in sub-Saharan Africa, the frontline in the Russo-Ukrainian War, desert landscapes in the Middle East, anti-immigration fences on the EU border and many other sites of turmoil, disruption and surprising convergences. Examining the ways in which technologies that were intended for use in everyday consumer culture start to (mal)function, gain new meanings and are appropriated in these liminal spaces can give us hints at what alternative techno-cultures could look like. This collection of essays provokes unusual perspectives on how technologies might be developed, used and reappropriated in support of people’s personal, local and regional lifeworlds and lifestyles.

Best New Books on Space 2024 – Forbes ‘Rarely is a non-fiction book about science this engaging’ – Forbes Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs. Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why? This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in. Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature? Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts. In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch). Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too.

Este libro habla de una revolución pendiente: la defensa de los animales.El respeto a su capacidad de sentir, su interés en vivir y no ser maltratados; la erradicación de la experimentación y de esas oscuras tradiciones de las que son víctimas a lo largo y ancho de España; sus derechos legales, por los que se lucha sin tregua.Este libro es una llamada a la acción que Silvia Barquero, presidenta del partido PACMA, nos hace desde el corazón, intercalando emocionantes historias -como la de la gorila Koko- con duras realidades que todavía quedan por cambiar.Del prólogo de Dani Rovira:Negar tu mirada al sufrimiento y a las injusticias es, en cierta manera, formar parte de ello. Tu indiferencia te hace cómplice. Cuando dejas de girar la cabeza ante eso que te incomoda, ya no eres indiferente al dolor y el sufrimiento ajeno. Y eso es un gran paso para ti y uno gigantesco para la humanidad.

An honest discussion of free trade and how nations can sensibly chart a path forward in today's global economyNot so long ago the nation-state seemed to be on its deathbed, condemned to irrelevance by the forces of globalization and technology. Now it is back with a vengeance, propelled by a groundswell of populists around the world. In Straight Talk on Trade, Dani Rodrik, an early and outspoken critic of economic globalization taken too far, goes beyond the populist backlash and offers a more reasoned explanation for why our elites' and technocrats' obsession with hyper-globalization made it more difficult for nations to achieve legitimate economic and social objectives at home: economic prosperity, financial stability, and equity.Rodrik takes globalization's cheerleaders to task, not for emphasizing economics over other values, but for practicing bad economics and ignoring the discipline's own nuances that should have called for caution. He makes a case for a pluralist world economy where nation-states retain sufficient autonomy to fashion their own social contracts and develop economic strategies tailored to their needs. Rather than calling for closed borders or defending protectionists, Rodrik shows how we can restore a sensible balance between national and global governance. Ranging over the recent experiences of advanced countries, the eurozone, and developing nations, Rodrik charts a way forward with new ideas about how to reconcile today's inequitable economic and technological trends with liberal democracy and social inclusion.Deftly navigating the tensions among globalization, national sovereignty, and democracy, Straight Talk on Trade presents an indispensable commentary on today's world economy and its dilemmas, and offers a visionary framework at a critical time when we need it most.
