AceptaciónVivir en pazAcceptance: Living in Peace

In this inspiring guide, Julio Bevione proposes that the secret toa foundational, lasting peace is a conscious acceptance of whatis currently happening. The key to this is a connection with theinner spirit, which doesn’t recognize fear and promotes love: alove of self, of others, and of the present moment. The counter-point of this self-knowledge, of the revelation of the true self, isego, which the book describes as a constant process of discoveryof what one is not. For readers struggling with the frustration ofan existence marked at every turn by the influence of the ego,this spiritual handbook offers a different path.

En esta guía inspirante, Julio Bevione propone que el secretopara una paz fundacional y duradera es una aceptación con-sciente de lo que pasa en el momento actual. La clave para estoes una conexión con el espíritu interior, el cual no reconoce elmiedo y promueve el amor: un amor del yo, de los otros y delmomento presente. El contrapunto de este autoconocimiento, dela revelación del ser verdadero, es el ego, el cual el libro describecomo un proceso constante de descubrir lo que uno no es. Parael lector lidiando con la frustración de una existencia marcada acada paso por la influencia del ego, este manual espiritual ofreceun camino diferente.

RelacionesVivir en armoníaRelationships: Living in Harmony

This manual for relating better with others describes relationshipsas mirrors that reflect each person’s interior life and as one of theprinciple ways in which individuals are defined and define others.Rather than viewing this as a struggle between victims and victim-izers, though, this argument suggests considering relationships as aconfluence of two energies in which each party reveals to the otherhabits and characteristics that, apart, would remain uncheckedand unchanged. As each individual modifies his energy, the changeis reflected in his counterpart—and therein lies the key to moreharmonious, peaceful relationships. The book includes exercisesdesigned precisely to help readers effect a fundamental change intheir attitudes toward life.

Este manual para relacionarse mejor con otros describe relacionescomo espejos que reflejan la vida interior de cada persona y comouna de las maneras principales en las cuales los individuos sedefinen y definen a los demás. En vez de considerar esto un juegode víctimas y victimarios, sin embargo, este argumento sugiereconsiderar las relaciones como una confluencia de dos energías enla cual cada parte revela a la otra hábitos y características que, porseparado, permanecerían inalteradas. A la medida que cada indi-viduo modifica su energía, el cambio se refleja en su homólogo—yes ahí donde se haya la clave para relaciones más armoniosas ytranquilas. El libro incluye ejercicios diseñados precisamente paraayudar al lector a efectuar un cambio fundamental en su actitudhacia la vida.

Jean RolinTranslated by Fernando González

A chronicle about a trip to Palestine right before the start of theIraq War in 2002, this story studies the situation of the ChristianPalestinian community, a disadvantaged and often forgottenminority within the Arab-Israeli conflict. Combining reflectionand travel writing, the author invites readers to acquaint them-selves with a Holy Land torn apart by a half century of conflictand submerged in fear and uncertainty. The Christians’ dailylives are portrayed in all of their bitterness, but the narrationgoes beyond a mere recounting of anecdotes in order to showhow the Christian community of Palestine finds itself tornbetween its faith and its undeniable patriotism, a difficult situa-tion that endangers its survival.

La crónica de un viaje a Palestina justo antes del estallido de laguerra de Irak en el 2002, este relato estudia la situación de lacomunidad cristiana palestina, una minoría desfavorecida yhabitualmente olvidada dentro del conflicto árabe-israelí.Combinando la reflexión con la literatura de viajes, el autorinvita al lector a conocer una Tierra Santa desgarrada por mediosiglo de conflicto y sumida en el terror y la incertidumbre. Lavida diaria de los cristianos es mostrada en toda su crudeza,pero la narración va más allá del mero recuento de anécdotaspara mostrar cómo la comunidad cristiana de Palestina seencuentra dividida entre su fe y su innegable patriotismo, unadifícil situación que hace peligrar su pervivencia.

100 mitos de la ciencia100 Science Myths, a translation from the Catalan of 100 mitesde la ciència

Daniel Closa i Autet

• Part of the Cien x 100 series

Exploring the histories behind 100 scientific myths with clear andsimple language, this book separates scientific truth from fictitiousinvention. Since every myth is based on some truth, the goal is todiscover at which point the facts were altered by imagination andhow much of the myth is true. Among the myths explored are thebeliefs that human beings use only 10 percent of their brains, thatthere are more births during a full moon, that ostriches bury theirheads in the ground, and that water drains in the opposite directionin the southern hemisphere.

Explorando las historias detrás de 100 mitos científicos con unlenguaje claro y simple, este libro separa la verdad científica dela invención ficticia. Ya que todo mito está basado en algunaverdad, la meta es más bien descubrir en qué punto los hechosfueron alterados por la imaginación y cuánto del mito actual escierto. Entre los mitos explorados se encuentran las creencias deque los humanos sólo usan 10 por ciento del cerebro, que enluna llena nacen más criaturas, que los avestruces esconden lacabeza bajo tierra y que el agua de la pila gira al revés en elhemisferio sur.

Daniel Closa i Autet is an award-winning author, a biologist, anda researcher.

Complemented with blunt, stark illustrations that capture theoppressive mood of the story, this translation of Joseph Conrad’sshort story “An Outpost of Progress” relates the tale of Kayertsand Carlier, two European men assigned to a remote trading postin an African jungle. Lacking any concrete tasks or sense of pur-pose, the men become increasingly isolated and desperate overtime—until the story erupts in violence.

Careciendo de responsabilidadesconcretas o algún propósito específico, los hombres se van ponien-do cada vez más aislados y desesperados, hasta que la historiaestalla en violencia.

Liberally borrowing from the lives of the Nobel Prize–winningItalian author Grazia Deledda and her husband, PalmirMadesani, Her Husband follows the fortunes of Silvia Roncella,a talented but retiring writer, and her husband Giustino, whoconvinces her to move from their small Piedmont village toRome to advance her career. Once in the capital, Giustino setsabout becoming his wife’s agent and publicist, unashamedlyadvertising her work to publishers, critics, journalists, and thepublic, and becoming the laughingstock of the city’s literati inthe process. This gripping novel is as much a critical portrait ofthe literary scene of early 20th-century Rome as it is a poignantexamination of male and female relationships and roles.

FluxusIñaki Estella

• Part of the Arte hoy series

In a manageable format that combines photo-graphic sources with strong textual content,this overview of Fluxus defines and exploresone of the most elusive artistic movements ofthe second half of the 20th century. Tracing themovement’s development from its inception inthe late 1950s and early 1960s in Europe andthe United States to its heyday in the 1980s, thebook discusses the diverse facets of Fluxus andits emphasis on the spheres of action and poet-ic, linguistic, and objective renovation, as wellas on the role of the artist in an increasinglyprosperous society that questions the practiceof art as social criticism. Students and thoseinterested in the latest trends in contemporaryart will consider this a unique resource.

En un formato manejable que combina fuentesfotográficas con un contenido textual autoriza-do, esta perspectiva general de Fluxus define yexplora uno de los movimientos artísticos másescurridizos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.Siguiendo el desarrollo del movimiento desdesu nacimiento a finales de los 50 y principiosde los 60 en Europa y los Estados Unidos

hasta su apogeo en los ochenta, el libro discute las diversas facetas de Fluxus y el énfasis de éste en los ámbitos de la acción y de larenovación poética, lingüística y objetual, así como en el papel del artista en una sociedad crecientemente acomodada que cuestiona elarte como una práctica de la crítica social. Tanto estudiantes como los interesados en las últimas tendencias del arte contemporáneoconsiderarán éste un recurso único.
