Miramos con temor hacia un futuro incierto. Hay falta de esperanza en todas partes. Byung-Chul Han identifica la sociedad occidental actual como una sociedad con miedo.Parece que los apocalipsis están de moda: «apocalypses sell», «los apocalipsis venden». A través de nuestras pantallas, nos encontramos constantemente expuestos a narrativas apocalípticas: el miedo a las pandemias, al colapso climático o a una próxima guerra mundial es omnipresente. El temor y el resentimiento alimentan el egoísmo y el odio, erosionan la solidaridad y la empatía, y, en última instancia, ponen en riesgo la democracia.Han se aleja del patrón que hasta ahora habían marcado sus últimos libros, en los que analizaba fenómenos sociales concretos, con el desarrollo de una filosofía de la esperanza. Según Han, la esperanza precede a la acción y, a la vez, la trasciende, infundiendo sentido a un presente aparentemente fragmentario. La esperanza es, por lo tanto, revolucionaria y comunitaria.Este no es solo un libro «sobre» la esperanza: es también un libro «de» esperanza.

Ya desde su nacimiento, los ni?os son personas competentes,perfectamente capaces de expresar sus sentimientos y necesidades, ymuy dispuestas a cooperar. Este es el reconocimiento revelador que elterapeuta danés Jesper Jull presenta en esta relevante obra. Son porende los padres los que deben trabajar para escuchar los mensajesexplícitos e implícitos que les trasmiten sus hijos, tomarlos en serio y aprender de ellos.En base a este supuseto, Juul expone que las familias de hoy en día se encuentran en un punto crucial, en el que los valores destructivosque caracterizaban la convivencia en las familias tradicionales yjerárquicas -tales como la obediencia, la violencia física yemocional, y la conformidad- pueden y deben ser transformados.

Rona Munro's vividly imagined historical cycle brings to life three generations of Stewart kings who ruled Scotland in the tumultuous fifteenth century. James I: The Key Will Keep the Lock explores the complex character of the colourful Stewart King poet, lover and law-maker. Captured at the age of 13 and crowned King of Scots in an English prison, James I of Scotland is delivered home 18 years later with a ransom on his head and a new English bride. The nation he returns to is poor: the royal coffers empty and his nobles ready to tear him apart at the first sign of weakness. Determined to bring the rule of law to a land riven by warring factions, James faces terrible choices if he is to save himself, his Queen and the crown. James II: Day of the Innocents depicts a violent royal playground from the perspective of the child King and his contemporaries, in a terrifying arena of sharp teeth and long knives. James II becomes the prize in a vicious game between Scotlands most powerful families. Crowned when only six, abandoned by his mother and separated from his sisters, the child King is little more than a puppet. There is only one friend he can trust: William, the future Earl of Douglas. As James approaches adulthood in an ever more threatening world, he must fight to keep his tenuous grip on the crown while the nightmares of his childhood rise up once more. James III: The True Mirror, like the King himself, is colourful and unpredictable, turning its attention to the women at the heart of the royal court. Charismatic, cultured, and obsessed with grandiose schemes that his nation can ill afford, James III is by turns loved and loathed. Scotland thunders dangerously close to civil war, but its future may be decided by James resourceful and resilient wife, Queen Margaret of Denmark. Her love and clear vision can save a fragile monarchy and rescue a struggling people. Each play stands alone as a unique vision of a country tussling with its past and future; viewed together the cycle creates an intricate and compelling narrative on Scottish culture and nationhood, full of playful wit and boisterous theatricality. The James Plays premiered at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2014 as part of the Edinburgh International Festival, before transferring to the National Theatre, London. The original three-play cycle was named Best New Play at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2014. Autorid: Rona Munro

"Pioneering essays that demonstrate the significance of the seasons for philosophy, environmental thought, anthropology, cultural studies, aesthetics, poetics, and literary criticism"-- Although the seasons have been a perennial theme in literature and art, their significance for philosophy and environmental theory has remained largely unexplored. This pioneering book demonstrates the ways in which inquiry into the seasons reveals new and illuminating perspectives for philosophy, environmental thought, anthropology, cultural studies, aesthetics, poetics, and literary criticism. The Seasons opens up new avenues for research in these fields and provides a valuable resource for teachers and students of the environmental humanities. The innovative essays herein address a wide range of seasonal cultures and geographies, from the traditional Western model of the four seasonsspring, summer, fall, and winterto the Indigenous seasons of Australia and the Arctic. Exemplifying the crucial importance of interdisciplinary research, The Seasons makes a compelling case for the relevance of the seasons to our daily lives, scientific understanding, diverse cultural practices, and politics.

Near the end of his life, Rudolf Steiner took up the task that was his special destiny to bring knowledge of reincarnation and karma to the West. Consequently, he gave more than eighty lectures in 1924 to explicitly reveal the destinies of various individuals from one life to the next. He explained how the general laws of karma work in individual cases and revealed many details of the karmic streams of the members of the Anthroposophical Society. These volumes constitute an immeasurable contribution to the understanding of reincarnation and karma and the tasks of the Anthroposophical Society in connection with the Archangel Michael. In volume five, Steiner discusses the difference between moon karma and sun karma, the influences of Christian and Islamic thinking, the transformation of inner human qualities from one life to the next, and much more.

"Capturing the spirit of every Glastonbury since 1992, this coffee table book from award-winning photographer Liam Bailey brings together three decades of revelry and wonder among festivalgoers on Somerset's most famous dairy farm." Redonline.co.uk "...Iconic Photos That Capture the Messy Essence of Glastonbury." VICE "The books images capture the rugged anarchy that spreads through Somerset each year around the solstice." MSN "There are many books about the music scene but few that show punters in all their beautiful variety. Liam Baileys long-term documentation has really paid off this book about the craziness of Glastonbury Festival is terrific." Martin Parr Glastonbury is the striking distillation of over 30 years' unprecedented photographic access to the world's largest green-field music and performing arts festival. In over 120 memorable images, Liam Bailey invites us to share his experiences of being among its diverse tribes. Although Glastonbury has evolved into a sprawling fixture of the British summer calendar, this famously vibrant event is still powered by the belief in alternative communal culture. It is this special energy that has kept Bailey returning every year since 1992. Above all, this 'access all areas' visual diary makes a case for the positive human potential of over 200,000 people being able to get together in the open air to enjoy music, performance and each other. Bailey's work has been exhibited in the UK and abroad, and appeared in magazines and newspapers including The Independent, The Guardian and Condé Nast Traveller. Autorid: Liam Bailey
