Hay vidas que no se pueden contar de un tirón. Hay que leerlas a trozos, como quien recoge cristales rotos con cuidado de no cortarse.Este libro es eso: la vida de Óscar, pelirrojo y punk, con TDAH, Tourette, miedos y mucha verdad. No hay capitulos, ni orden, ni moraleja. Solo fragmentos que se sostienen unos a otros como pueden, como hacemos todos.Entre versos, prosa poetica y fogonazos de memoria, el autor se desnuda sin filtros. Habla de la ansiedad como quien la ha abrazado muchas noches; del amor como quien lo ha perdido mil veces; de la amistad como una trinchera; de la politica como una forma de afecto. Y del cuerpo siempre el cuerpo como campo de batalla y unica casa posible.Es un poemario que no embellece el dolor ni endulza la lucha. Pero en cada texto hay una resistencia intima, una ternura furiosa, una honestidad que, a veces, duele y, otras, abraza.Es un libro que se queda contigo, incluso cuando cierras sus paginas.

Storm is increasingly the default setting for our lives. It is as if the next environmental, medical, social or political calamity is mere moments away. Of course, Storm is the dramatic expression of natures wild side, yet it is also the defining characteristic of our age. We are constantly reminded that the precious ecosystems of our fragile planet are under threat as never before. At the same time our social and political systems are fracturing - in the famously prophetic words of W.B. Yeats the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Against all of this there are ripples of discontent that could still turn into a storm powerful enough to provoke the kinds of change necessary to save us all.The Prix Pictet is the worlds leading award for photography and sustainability. It was founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group with the goal of harnessing the power of photography to draw global attention to critical environmental issues. To date, there have been eleven cycles of the award, each with its own theme highlighting a particular facet of sustainability. For each cycle, a book is published showcasing the work of the shortlisted photographers as well as powerful images produced by a selection of the other nominated photographers.

In the 1920s, Adolf Rosenberger was one of Germanys best known racing car drivers. He was also co-founder and managing director of a design firm that had recently been launched by Ferdinand Porsche, and it was his job to ensure financing for the design firm a firm that provided important impetus during this time for technical innovation and racing car construction. When the firm fell into difficulties during the global business crisis, he ended up stepping away from his management role in the company, but remained active as partner and "foreign representative". The Jewish Rosenberger was however unable to escape the increasing persecution by the Nazis: in 1935 he lost his shares in the company and landed for a time in a concentration camp. After emigrating in 1938 he would go on over the following decades to develop a precarious new existence in the USA. Compensation and restitution proceedings that he initiated against the company would end up severing any remaining ties with the now internationally renowned sports car manufacturer. This book, drawing on documents that have remained unpublished until now, frames and analyses the exceptional and moving biography of Adolf Rosenberger.

Words from the Hedge is a passionate evocation of the history, beauty and importance of our hedgerows by a craftsman who has been laying hedges for almost three decades and has the scars to prove it. Hedges are as old as civilisation and as emblematic of the British countryside as chalk streams, hay meadows and oak trees. But unlike woodland and rivers, farmland hedges remain on the periphery of the public consciousness, often going unnoticed and almost always underappreciated. Wielding his pen as deftly he does a billhook, professional hedgelayer Richard Negus takes us on a journey that reveals these ribbons of thorn and barb are so much more than mere decoration or boundary markers. They are essential for much-needed wildlife recovery. If we dont get our hedges right, there is little hope for species like the almost-extinct turtledove.And yet, no hedge is truly wild; each one is a testament to generations of human skill and labour, requiring ongoing maintenance to survive and thrive. But there is a problem: we need more hedgelayers, and this is something Negus is trying to solve.Introducing a lively band of fellow countrymen and countrywomen along the way, Negus explores everything from the practical complexities of modern farming and land ownership to the challenges faced by conservationists. Written with vigour and humour, as well as rare insight and honesty, Words from the Hedge is a timely exploration of how we can use hedges to make the British countryside a place where nature has a home.

My breath hitched. This wasnt a series of disconnected encounters. This was a consortium. A collective."Each of us has worked with you," Julian continued, gesturing to the others. "The doctor diagnosed your condition. The librarian settled your debts. The chef found your flavor. The fireman... well, he just needed to bleed the line." He smiled, a thin, cruel thing. "But our individual... tutorials... were merely preliminary sketches. Today, we begin the final piece. The magnum opus."Chef Laurent stepped forward, his knife-like gaze stripping me bare. "Youve learned individual tastes, but you have yet to appreciate the full menu. The complexity of a dish is not in one ingredient, but in how they all come together."The firefighter grunted in agreement. "Pressure isnt just about one burst. Its about the cumulative force. The total system load."Julian walked around me, his appraising gaze like a physical touch. "We are going to create you. We are going to paint you, sculpt you, write our story on your body. You are no longer the muse. You are the medium. And you will be... cooperative."He stopped in front of me, so close I could feel the heat from his body.

"We believe in one God, the Father." The opening clause of the Nicene Creed can be summed up in a single wordmonotheism. In the early centuries of the church, this striking doctrine stood starkly against a cultural background of multiple deities and spiritual powers. While it clearly builds on its Jewish heritage, calling God "Father" anticipates the Father-Son relationship in the Godhead that early Christians knew and robustly upheld.The first article of the Nicene Creed also presupposes that there is an objective body of teaching that Christians are expected to confess as their faith. This idea seems normal and natural to us, but it was a novelty in the ancient world. Neither Judaism nor any pagan religion or philosophy could claim to have a closely defined set of beliefs that everyone adhering to it was expected to profess publicly and defend against all comers.While this article on God the Father is the shortest and arguably oldest portion of the Creed, it fully sets forth the fundamental understanding of God as creator and originator of all that is. This commentary in its selection of texts from the early church highlights the common understanding of the One God in three Persons, elucidating the churchs understanding of divine attributes and trinitarian relations.The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

"Who do you say that I am?" This question that Jesus asked of his disciples, so central to his mission, became equally central to the fledgling church. How would it respond to the Gnostics who answered by saying Jesus was less than fully human? How would it respond to the Arians who contended he was less than fully God? It was these challenges that ultimately provoked the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.In this Ancient Christian Doctrine volume covering the first half of the article in the Nicene Creed on God the Son, John Anthony McGuckin shows how it countered these two errant poles by equally stressing Jesus authentic humanity (that is, his fleshliness and real embodiment in space and time) and his spiritual glory or full divinity.One cottage industry among some historical theologians, he notes, has been to live in a fever of conspiracy theory where orthodox oppressors dealt heavy-handedly with poor heretics. Or the picture is painted of ancient grassroots inclusivists being suppressed by establishment elites. The reality was far from such romantic notions. It was in fact the reverse.The church who denounced these errors did so in the name of a greater inclusivity based on common sense and common education. The debate was conducted generations before Christian bishops could ever call on the assistance of secular power to enforce their views. Establishing the creeds was not a reactionary movement of censorship but rather one concerned with the deepest aspects of quality control.Ultimately, what was and is at stake is not fussy dogmatism but the central gospel message of Gods stooping "down in mercy to enter the life of his creatures and share their sorrows with them. He has lifted up the weak and the broken to himself, and he healed their pain by abolishing their alienation."The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.
