PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2024 «Hay que leer la tremenda Actos humanos […] Una mirada casi imperturbable hacia el horror, la sangre y la crueldad desplegada institucionalmente». Elena Hevia, El Periódico Mayo de 1980. La ciudad de Gwangju se moviliza contra la dictadura militar de Chun Doo-hwan, que hace unos meses tomó el poder en Corea del Sur. La oposición civil, liderada por los estudiantes universitarios, se subleva a favor de la democracia, pero el ejército reprime cruelmente las protestas disparando indiscriminadamente a la multitud, sin hacer distinciones entre estudiantes y civiles. Tras la sanguinaria matanza, un joven busca el cadáver de un amigo, un alma intenta aferrarse a su cuerpo abandonado y a sus recuerdos, y un país brutalizado busca su voz. En esta novela polifónica, las víctimas y los supervivientes que los lloran se enfrentan a la censura, a la negación, al perdón, a la culpa y a la memoria de un episodio traumático que sigue resonando en nuestros días. Han Kang, galardonada con el premio Nobel de Literatura «por su intensa prosa poética que confronta los traumas históricos y expone la fragilidad de la vida humana», homenajea a las víctimas de la masacre de su ciudad natal a través de las voces de los mártires de la dictadura surcoreana. Actos humanos es una novela brutal, profundamente atemporal y universal que nos habla de las heridas colectivas, la represión y la violencia humana.La crítica ha dicho: «Una lectura compulsiva, universalmente relevante y profundamente vibrante… Hermosa y urgente a partes iguales». The New York Times Book Review «Han Kang nos prepara para una de las incógnitas más importantes de nuestro tiempo: ¿Qué es la humanidad ¿Qué tenemos que hacer para que la humanidad siga siendo una cosa y no otra No da las respuestas, pero este testimonio inquebrantable parece un buen punto de partida». The Guardian «Actos humanos es una novela importante, de una grandeza conmovedora y desgarradora».The Irish Times «Un documento literario de denuncia y reflexión que expresa la herida colectiva abierta de una manera brutal, utilizando un lenguaje delicado y poderoso». Letras Libres«Actos humanos enfurece, apasiona, y lo que es más importante, devuelve la palabra a aquellos que fueron silenciados». The Observer «Los libros de Han Kang atestiguan una atrocidad específica a la vez que plantean cuestiones universales sobre lo que significa ser humano, con todo el potencial de ternura y crueldad que eso conlleva». The Times Literary Supplement

'Hettie Judah’s enthralling and important book expands a male-centred art history to include mothers as subjects and symbols, makers and myths' Jennifer Higgie 'One of the most electrifying and important books I have ever read. Hettie Judah takes us on a rich, comprehensive, generative, beautifully written journey through the works of art that have made the invisibility of real motherhood and maternal subjectivity visible. Every sentence and work crackles and sparks.I didn't want it to end. Stunning, urgent and extremely inspiring. We all need this book' Lucy Jones, author of Matrescence 'An important and eye-opening book grounded in Judah's extensive experience and research.I knew some artists in this book already, but didn't know many others, and this is a book I will keep close and refer to time and time again. As a writer and as a mother, this is personal too. It is time motherhood comes out of the margins and we see, hear and talk about the extensive invisible labour, joy, pain of mothering.This book is a much-needed addition to the canon' Dr Pragya Agarwal Exploring maternity through the work of artists from prehistory to the present day, Acts of Creation addresses the abiding mother-shaped hole in art history. Long taboo, lived experiences of motherhood – and all that accompanies it – are now the subject of urgent discussion. Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood delves into the joys and heartaches, mess, myths and mishaps of motherhood through over 150 artworks, from ancient goddess artifacts to contemporary interpretations of pregnancy in the present.While the Madonna and Child archetype has dominated Western art, we rarely encounter art about real motherhood, in all its raw, unfiltered complexity. Renowned author and curator Hettie Judah examines how shifting ideals of motherhood have been constructed and promoted through visual culture. Moving into the 20th and 21st centuries, it also looks at how women artists – among them Barbara Hepworth, Jenny Saville, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Betye Saar, Suzanne Valadon, Louise Bourgeois, Carrie Mae Weems – have worked to subvert these ideals and reclaim the narrative.Women have long been told that they cannot be both an artist and a mother: here the artist mother is instead addressed as an important cultural paradigm. Acts of Creation explores lived experience of motherhood – and of not becoming a mother – offering a complex account that engages with ongoing concerns around gender, caregiving and reproductive rights. Published to coincide with the acclaimed Hayward Gallery touring exhibition of the same name, Acts of Creation is an engaging, thought-provoking and richly illustrated must-read on the evolving discourse on motherhood, offering a fresh perspective that challenges conventions and inspires change.

Argues that the idea of the mind as an "information processor" has led psychology away from seeing the mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations of a computational model of mind can we grasp the interaction through which mind constitutes and is constituted by culture.
ALYSSAI'm f*cked.Broken down on the side of the road wasn't how I pictured my first stint with independence, and calling my mother to let her know I already need help is completely off the table.Throwing insult to injury, Mr. Tall Dark and F*ck Me has come to my rescue, strolling in like some Knight in shining armor.Hudson Maxwell, with his chiselled jaw and striking grey eyes looks under the hood of my car like some sort of Greek God, sent to test my will.His wicked mouth flirts with me, saying all the words any girl would want to hear. Especially me. He's been my unattainable crush. The man I could never have.But now? He doesn't know who I am, fully grown and far from the little girl he last saw.So as he continues his assault on my libido-unaffected by the rules that would keep us apart-I have to ask, do I stop this charade, or do I cave in and taste him just this once?HUDSONOne moment is all it takes.One move to wreck your world.Alyssa Rogers, with her hypnotic green eyes and luscious lips, was that for me. The siren that sang me straight to my demise.I should've seen her for what she was. A trickster and a thief.But as the walls cave in, our forced proximity forcing us closer and closer, the answer becomes clear.Come hell or high water, Alyssa Rogers needs to go.
This isn't a fairy tale. No. It's a tale of woe as old as time. But even the tragic deserve a happily ever after, and I'm here to give it to you.CharlotteSticking out like a preacher's pregnant teenage daughter, I lift myself off the floor and fluff my unconventionally long black hair-a silent f*ck you to the sea of blond that surrounds me.I live in a world of fraud. Everything is fake, plastic, and superficial. Nothing is what it seems and your worth is measured in dollar signs and social status.Who am I?Nothing but a prized possession.A dress-up doll for one of the most powerful men in the country.He may beat me, break me, and make me bleed. But he will never win.AidenTasked with protecting the senator's wife, I struggle against turning into the monster I vowed I'd never become.How can I do right by her when being near her sets my very soul on fire?She's a saint and temptress all in one. A blast from my past, I have no business lusting after.Unable to separate business from pleasure, I begin to fall into her, letting her consume my every desire.Will I survive this torture or will her love be my demise?
CassieIf this is love, it can stay the hell away.Time and time again I've witnessed what people do in its name, and I want no part of it.It's messy, ugly, and emotionally draining.No, thank you.I'll do everything in my power to keep my heart safe, even if it means saying goodbye to the only man who's rocked my world and left me wanting more. RenWork hard, play hard. It's the only way to live. Especially when your days are numbered. As part of a nationwide security firm, taking risks comes with the job. But no bullet or knife can compare to the danger that is undeniably her.She's off-limits. The forbidden fruit. But like a moth to the flame, I fall.Only one question remains... Will her love be my salvation, or will it be my demise?

Acupressure is so much more than simply pressing on a point. It is a comprehensive system for treating the body as a whole. When clients come to us with pain in a specific region, more often than not we focus on the part and forget about the whole. Most therapists treat shoulder pain by working just on the shoulder, which makes sense, but through the lens of acupressure and meridian massage, we see there often is more to a successful treatment than that. Seen through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body is an interconnected whole. Understanding how it is connected, both physically and energetically, and being familiar with the pathways of connection, is fundamental. Acupressure and Meridian Massage guides practitioners through the connections of the body by combining ancient wisdom and modern science to provide a comprehensive system of assessment and treatment leading to long-lasting and improved results.

The Chinese acupuncturists use needles to treat at least one hundred fifty kind diseases with successes for thousands of years on more than one billion people with remarkable success.But it has not been accepted by the main stream Western medicine, and taught in main stream medical school. Probably it is due to two factors: theoretically it has not been explained by modern science, and second there is no quantitative objective evidence for it. This book answers these two questions. It provides modern scientific explanation to important concepts, especially meridians and qi. What are meridians made up of? What are acupoints? What is qi? Can they be seen? This book presents copious pictures taken by infrared images method. They provide the objective evidence how acupuncture works, what are meridians made up of , and what is the measurable effect of qi. Each thermograph has more than ten thousand pixels. Each pixel is associated with one temperature to the accuracy of 0.1 0 C. So the science of acupuncture becomes a quantitative science with enormous accurate numbers as supporting evidence. This book contains twenty nine easy to read articles, which cover many important topics in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Each essay has at least one infrared image, So the reader can see the images for himself ,and understand that there are incredible accurate data supporting acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
