Island home: a landscape memoir
Par Tim Winton. 2017
A beautiful, evocative, and sometimes provocative memoir of Australia's unique landscape, and how that singular place has shaped Tim Winton…
and his writing. From boyhood, Winton's relationship with the world around him--rock pools, sea caves, scrub, and swamp--has been as vital as any other connection. Camping in hidden inlets, walking in high rocky desert, diving in reefs, bobbing in the sea between surfing sets, Winton has felt the place seep into him, and learned to see landscape as a living process. In Island Home, Winton brings this landscape--and its influence on the island nation's identity and art--vividly to life through personal accounts and environmental history. Wise, rhapsodic, exalted--in language as unexpected and wild as the landscape it describes--Island Home is a brilliant, moving portrait of Australia from one of its finest writers.

shows the ways in which the microbiome impacts overall well-being, and helps readers reset their biological clocks by improving their gut health. With one in four Americans suffering from digestive health issues every day, gut health has become an increasingly important part of wellness. With the human body, so many issues can be improved upon, or cured, by balancing the microbiome. But the microbiome--a community of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts that dwell in the body--has long been something that the average person can find baffling--and maybe a little bit gross. By offering simple and straightforward answers to questions like what one should be eating, what probiotics are, which vitamins and medicines really work, Dr. Raj demystifies the gut. She uses the idea of a home renovation to show how different organs and parts of the body can be "renovated" in order to optimize the microbiome. After all, balancing one's microbiome improves digestive health, brain function, emotional stability, the body's response to inflammation, immunity, and lessens premature aging. Melding the latest developments and discoveries in microbiome research, along with Dr. Raj's practical tips developed from her years of clinical experience, Gut Renovation shows readers how to turn back the biological clock and revamp the way they live forever." -- Provided by publisherVolver a ser feliz: cambia tus pensamientos y realidad, y convierte tus intentos en triunfos

Par Peter Coviello. 2018
A passionate, heartfelt story about the many ways we fall in love: with books, bands and records, friends and lovers,…
and the families we make. Have you ever fallen in love--exalting, wracking, hilarious love--with a song? Long Players is a book about that everyday kind of besottedness--and, also, about those other, more entangling sorts of love that songs can propel us into. We follow Peter Coviello through his happy marriage, his blindsiding divorce, and his fumbling post marital forays into sex and romance. Above all we travel with him as he calibrates, mix by mix and song by song, his place in the lives of two little girls, his suddenly ex-stepdaughters. In his grief, he considers what keeps us alive (sex, talk, dancing) and the limitless grace of pop songs Adult. Strong language. UnratedLos suicidas del fin del mundo: crónica de un pueblo patagónico (Colección Andanzas #613)
Par Leila Guerriero. 2020
"In the late 1990s, a wave of suicides rocked Las Heras, a small oil town in the province of Santa…
Cruz. Most of the dead were around twenty-five years old and were typical inhabitants of the town, children of modest but traditional families. However, the official list of these suicides was never drawn up. Leila Guerriero traveled to this desolate Patagonian spot, talked to the families and friends of the suicides, walked the same streets and visited every corner of the town. The result is this stark and precise account that not only reconstructs the tragic episodes of those years but also magnificently depicts the daily life of a community far from the big cities. Las Heras, with its wave of unemployment and lack of future for young people, is an enigma whose resolution is far from definitive: suicides, like a dismal destiny, followed one another for a long time. This is a disturbing chronicle that reads with fascination and unveils a reality marked by horror, prejudice and indifference." -- Amazon.comBlack skin, white masks (Get political)
Par Frantz Fanon. 2008
"Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon,…
and Black Skin, White Masks represents some of his most important work. Fanon's masterwork is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of readers. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today from one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history." -- Provided by publisherQuebrantamiento: cuando Díos convíerte la presión en poder

Par Leire Quintana. 2016
"Leire Quintana decided to leave her life in a big city behind, retreat to a monastery, and learn to listen…
to her own song. How did this experience change the way she saw the world? What life lessons did she learn? Leire Quintana has a lot to tell us: 'I was overwhelmed by the thought of losing my family or friends, and even the impossibility of making new friends because I was in a cloistered monastery. Later I came to recognize that without solitude, the solitude of my cell, I could not progress. [...] Little by little I discovered the causes, the hidden needs that I hadn't known how to manage, I questioned my fears, I embraced them and I knew, by offering them my attention, that that was all they needed to disappear.'" -- Translation provided by NLSNueve lunas
