El auge y declive de una gran pasión, el amor feroz de dos personas que parecían conjurarse en contra de una vida serena.Partiendo de un episodio ocurrido en Madrid en 1939, la narradora de esta historia cuenta la apasionada y tormentosa relación de sus padres, y cómo la personalidad desmedida de él y el corazón débil de ella marcaron el pulso de la vida de toda la familia.A corazón abierto es una novela que recorre nuestro país a lo largo de un siglo de grandes cambios y encierra un homenaje a una generación, la de quienes permanecieron en España en la inmediata posguerra, aquellos que, sin queja ni lamento, se concentraron en sobrevivir.Desde la mirada empática y curiosa de una gran observadora que sabe transformar en ficción cada destello de la memoria, Elvira Lindo convierte a sus padres en personajes literarios para aproximarse a ellos con libertad, lucidez y sabiduría. Como si de una composición musical se tratara, cada capítulo es una demostración de gran técnica puesta al servicio del puro placer de narrar las luces y las sombras de un pasado convertido para siempre en gran literatura.

The perfect gift for mother's day (or for yourself), the gorgeous new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Katie Fforde

"New York Times"-bestselling author Balogh presents two of her classic Regency-era romancesNseductive tales of ladies who are running away from love . . . and rogues who enjoy the chase. Reissue.

A seasonal touchstone packed full of quotes, book lists, recipes, poems and observations on the natural world to keep close at hand and to accompany you through the year.

The story of American history is often told as a hard-won march toward the promise of equality, derived from Thomas Jefferson's famous proclamation that "all men are created equal."But this inspiring story obscures a parallel tradition: an enduring and organized argument against equality itself. Again and again, influential Americans have asserted a fundamental inequality among human beings, arguing that the social, economic, and racial hierarchies in which some groups of people rule over others are not only natural but good.In Country of Lords acclaimed historian Kim Phillips-Fein traces this argument for inequality through six vivid archetypes. She discusses the natural aristocrats, such as John Adams, who feared the tumult of too much democracy; the social Darwinists, led by Yale professor William Graham Sumner, who blamed the poor for their own miseries; those who preached a gospel of production, including Henry Ford, who wanted an industrial hierarchy in which the "best” people ruled over compliant inferiors; utilitarian racists who advocated for eugenics and a racial hierarchy; meritocrats like Harvard psychologist Richard Hernstein who described an economic caste system based on "intelligence” in his co-authored book, The Bell Curve; and most recently, technocrats who seem to see themselves as superior because they are closest to the machines destined to outstrip and supplant fallible flesh-and-blood humanity.The anti-egalitarian lineage Phillips-Fein traces is both clear and deeply unsettling. It challenges readers to think about the fragility of the ideal of equality and to reckon with the disturbing arguments of those who have campaigned against it over the past two and a half centuries. Country of Lords is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of the widening gap between the nation we claim to be and the nation we are becoming.

"The only edition that contains in one place all of the writings that Dr. Helen Schucman, its Scribe, authorized to be printed"--P. (4) of cover.

"A Course in Miracles Urtext Manuscripts" is a collection of all seven canonical volumes of the world renowned "Third Testament" under one cover. It represents the oldest available typed copy of the words dictated by a voice to professor, research psychologist and Scribe Helen Schucman, Ph.D. between 1965 and 1978. The voice, claimed Schucman, was Jesus. This edition predates all others currently in print. It is available in two cover styles, one plain burgundy and another with a painting "The Resurrection" by Pieter Lastman, made available by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, CA, USA. There is a free companion website with concordances and source material libraries. An optional 4.5 Gb/DVD containing an enhanced edition of the website, concordances, over 10,000 pages of source material, a synthesized audio reading of the 31 chapter text and several editions of the King James Bible is available in some editions. The Urtext Manuscripts include extensive discussions of the Bible, sex, possession, Freud and other topics which were edited out of other editions. There are over 2400 footnotes to references on variant ACIM readings and Bible verses. The book also includes extensive appendices with commentary on the versions and history of A Course in Miracles by the compiler of this remarkable edition, Doug Thompson. The Urtext Manuscripts are ideal for students and teachers who wish to deepen their knowledge of A Course in Miracles and its unique approach to life and the teachings of the Bible. This edition seeks not to be the final rendition of A Course in Miracles, but rather "one giant leap" toward the greater goal of "getting the words right." In that light, the reader may expect future editions to contain updates in textual scholarship, biblical references, appendices, added indexing, DVD contents and more.

A Course of Love is a spiritual masterpiece that gently guides the reader to the awareness of Oneness, something that cannot be learned, but only revealed from within. It is not a course for the mind, but for the heart. It is not a self-help book involving thought and effort, but a way of feeling, ease, and direct relationship with your divinity. It contains no self-improvement exercises. No striving for unity or perfection. A Course of Love takes you beyond the rational learning process to an awareness of the truth of who you really are. Your reality is divine union. Love cannot be taught or learned. Neither can union or oneness. If you continue to see yourself as a student seeking to acquire what you do not yet have, you cannot recognize the unity in which you exist. A Course of Love begins the transformation that is the movement from head to heart, from their separation to their union. A Course of Love is more than a book. It is a transmission that you feel. It came from Jesus through Mari Perron, the "first receiver." It is a catalyst that introduces a new way of being and living. It facilitates the dawning of a consciousness of unity through which you move from self-doubt to self-love. You will begin to know yourself in a new way, through receptivity of the heart, without the perceptions and judgments of the mind. It asks you only to pause, to give the mind a rest, to enter a realm foreign to the mind and yet beloved to the heart. You will begin to know yourself as you truly are and begin to hear the language of your own heart. If you want to connect with a known but forgotten Truth, this book was written for you. We suffer when we forget our true self, our true identity. This book will bring you to a time of tenderness, an acceptance of all feelings, and will invite you to embrace your power and reclaim your freedom so you may live as the creator you really are. Immerse yourself in the pages of A Course of Love and allow yourself to be gently taken to the mountain top, where you will spend forty days and forty nights accompanied by timeless wisdom and palpable truth, integrating the human and the divine. Nothing need be rejected. We can embrace all the fragments of ourselves that we had rejected and extend that embrace to all those we encounter. A Course of Love came to its first receiver, Mari Perron, "as thoughts she did not think." Although it is a complete work in itself, it identifies itself as being a "continuation" of the earlier A Course in Miracles. The two courses complement each other. A Course of Love says: "Where the original Course in Miracles was a course in thought reversal and mind training, a course to point out the insanity of the identity crisis and dislodge the ego's hold, this is a course to establish your identity and to end the reign of the ego." A Course of Love is an intimate companion on your journey Home.

The Bible is an Ancient Near Eastern text, which was written millennia ago within a time and culture that is vastly different from our own. The authors of the Bible had a perspective on life and the world around them that was steeped with their own traditions, customs and thoughts. When reading and studying this text we cannot interject our own cultural perspectives into the text, to do so would bring about interpretations and conclusions that are far removed from its intended meaning. But if we read the Bible from the perspective of those who wrote it and study their language, philosophy and culture from within its original context, the Bible will spring to life in ways you never thought possible.

Examines the uses and meanings of plants from 10,000 BCE to 500 CE, from the transition from hunter-gatherer subsistence to the practice of agriculture in Mesopotamia and elsewhere.

A Cultural History of Plants in the Early Modern Era covers the period from 1400 to 1650, a time of discovery and rediscovery, of experiment and innovation. Renaissance learning brought ancient knowledge to modern European consciousness whilst exploration placed all the continents in contact with one another. The dissemination of knowledge was further speeded by the spread of printing. New staples and spices, new botanical medicines, and new garden plants all catalysed agriculture, trade, and science. The great medical botanists of the period attempted no less than what Marlowe’s Dr Faustus demanded - a book "wherein I might see all plants, herbs, and trees that grow upon the earth.” Human impact on plants and our botanical knowledge had irrevocably changed. The six-volume set of the Cultural History of Plants presents the first comprehensive history of the uses and meanings of plants from prehistory to today. The themes covered in each volume are plants as staple foods; plants as luxury foods; trade and exploration; plant technology and science; plants and medicine; plants in culture; plants as natural ornaments; the representation of plants.

A Cultural History of Plants in the Modern Era covers the period from 1920 to today - a time when population growth, industrialization, global trade, and consumerism have fundamentally reshaped our relationship with plants. Advances in agriculture, science, and technology have revolutionised the ways we feed ourselves, whilst urbanization and industrial processing have reduced our direct connection with living plants. At the same time, our understanding of both ecology and conservation have greatly increased and our appreciation of the meanings and aesthetics of plants continue to suffuse art and everyday culture. The modern era has witnessed a revolution in both the valuation and the destruction of the natural world - more than ever before, we understand that the vitality of our relationship with plants will shape our future. The six-volume set of the Cultural History of Plants presents the first comprehensive history of the uses and meanings of plants from prehistory to today. The themes covered in each volume are plants as staple foods; plants as luxury foods; trade and exploration; plant technology and science; plants and medicine; plants in culture; plants as natural ornaments; the representation of plants.
