The key to success in life and business is to become a master at Conversational Intelligence. It's not about how smart you are, but how open you are to learn new and effective powerful conversational rituals that prime the brain for trust, partnership, and mutual success.

UNA NOVELA TOTAL SOBRE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA EN CLAVE DE REALISMO MÁGICOHe aquí la historia de la descomposición total de una familia, de la deshumanización de un pueblo, de la desintegración de un territorio y de una península de casas vacías.La historia de un soldado que se raja la piel para dejar salir la ceniza acumulada, de un poeta que cose la sombra de una niña tras un bombardeo, y de un maestro que enseña a sus alumnos a hacerse los muertos; de un general que duerme junto a la mano cortada de una santa, de un niño ciego que recupera la vista durante un apagón, y de una campesina que pinta de negro todos los árboles de su huerto; de un fotógrafo extranjero que pisa una mina cerca de Brunete y no levanta el pie en cuarenta años, de un gernikarra que conduce hasta el centro de París una camioneta con los restos humeantes de un ataque aéreo, y de un perro herido cuya sangre teñirá la última franja de una bandera abandonada en Badajoz.He aquí pues la historia total de la Guerra Civil española y de una Iberia agonizante donde lo fantástico apuntala la crudeza de lo real; donde los anónimos miembros de un extenso clan de olivareros de Jándula cruzan sus destinos con los de Alberti, Lorca y Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano y Kent; Hemingway, Orwell y Bernanos; Picasso y Mallo; Azaña y Foxá; donde lo épico y lo costumbrista se entrelazan para tejer un portentoso tapiz, poético y grotesco, bello y delirante.«Con una prosa imprevista, tan original como desacomplejada, David Uclés es un auténtico soplo de aire fresco en las letras españolas».Pablo Martín Sánchez

Beginning in the 1960s, John Brookes MBE (1933–2018) revolutionized garden design, with a new design philosophy and methodology that was rooted in the notion that gardens are about the people who live in them. Recognizing the demands of the contemporary lifestyle, he broke with previous labor-intensive garden design traditions and the emphasis on showcasing plants. Instead he promoted using gardens as extensions of the home.He introduced this notion in his 1969 book, A Room Outside, which also contained practical advice on materials, methodology, and planting. His approach was unprecedented and included the then-novel idea that people of all income levels could have designed, fashionable gardens tailored to their needs, low-maintenance, and beautiful. John taught and lectured around the world and, thanks to his energetic writing, teaching and media appearances, he became regarded as the 'king’ and 'godfather’ of garden and landscape design.How to Design a Garden is an informative and ultimately practical collection of his thoughts and advice selected from countless writings and lectures given to students, professionals and the public around the world. In addition to his teaching on how to design a garden, the book has two key themes – environmental sustainability and a focus on the local vernacular. They show how far ahead he was of his time and to what a great extent his teaching remains relevant to garden-makers today.

At last, a mathematical explanation of how art works presented in a manner we can all understand. Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life. Geometry of Design takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the paintings of Georges Seurat, from the Braun hand blender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions. Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in art, design, or architecture graphic arts. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series. Through detailed diagrams these geometric systems are brought to life giving an effective insight into the design process.

Il volume "The World of Tim Burton” accompagna la grande esposizione - la prima, in Italia - che il Museo Nazionale del Cinema dedica a Tim Burton (1958). Una grande mostra immersiva, il viaggio esclusivo nella mente di un genio creativo: l’esplorazione della produzione artistica, dello stile inimitabile e della prospettiva specifica del regista. Suddivisa in nove sezioni tematiche, presenta oltre 500 opere d’arte originali, alcune mai esposte prima, dagli esordi fino ai progetti più recenti: schizzi, dipinti, disegni, fotografie, filmati, concept art, storyboard, costumi, opere in movimento, maquette, pupazzi e installazioni scultoree a grandezza naturale. Un’ambientazione suggestiva conduce il pubblico a immergersi nello straordinario universo creativo del regista. Il volume ripercorre l’evoluzione della singolare immaginazione visiva di un artista postmoderno multidimensionale, in una sorta di autobiografia raccontata attraverso il suo processo creativo senza limiti. La visione autoriale trascende i mezzi e i formati, rendendo chiaro come idee, temi e persino alcune immagini specifiche dell’arte di Tim Burton si ritrovino nei suoi film più iconici che oggi associamo allo sfarzoso spettacolo cinematografico.
