El manifiesto de uno de los urbanistas más influyentes del mundo para humanizar y hacer más habitables las ciudades.El poder de la proximidad invita a repensar la vida urbana desde una mirada más humana y transformadora. Carlos Moreno propone una autentica revolucion urbanistica: habitar la ciudad -no solo alojarse en ella- redescubriendo el valor de la cercania. Defiende una ciudad compacta, accesible y vivible, donde la proximidad mejore la calidad de vida y fortaleczca los lazos sociales, culturales y ambientales.--------------La coleccion Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinion, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son mas un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversacion mas que saciarla e inician un festin (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.La critica ha dicho: En un mundo donde las ciudades crecen sin pausa y el tiempo de las personas se disuelve entre desplazamientos y distancias, Moreno propone una revolucion silenciosa pero profunda: reorganizar la vida urbana en torno a la proximidad, la equidad y el bienestar cotidiano.

Este libro propone repensar el modo en que concebimos y construimos nuestras ciudades, utilizando Lima como laboratorio urbano y social. En una ciudad que crece sin planificación y refleja profundas brechas sociales y ambientales, las autoras plantean que la sostenibilidad debe asumirse como un principio etico y colectivo, mas alla de la eficiencia tecnica o la certificacion verde. Construir una ciudad sostenible, aseguran, implica un compromiso compartido entre arquitectos, urbanistas, gestores publicos y ciudadania.La obra se articula en tres ejes interdependientes: responsabilidad ambiental, equidad social y justicia economica. A traves de estos pilares, el analisis confronta los desafios locales en Lima (deficit de vivienda, transporte ineficiente, escasez de areas verdes y acceso desigual a servicios) con los compromisos globales como los ODS y la Agenda 2030, lo que evidencia las contradicciones de una ciudad fragmentada.Lejos de limitarse al diagnostico, el libro se convierte en una guia practica. Propone estrategias y herramientas de accion basadas en casos reales, entrevistas y experiencias profesionales. Aborda temas como el reciclaje arquitectonico, la eficiencia energetica, la movilidad sostenible y el rediseño del espacio publico.Dirigido a arquitectos, urbanistas, estudiantes y ciudadania, este texto es un llamado a la accion para promover una vision integral de la sostenibilidad urbana. Invita a reimaginar una Lima mas justa, resiliente y humana, entendiendo la arquitectura como un acto de responsabilidad ambiental y social compartida por todos sus habitantes.

First published in 1929, The Byzantine Achievement is Robert Byrons ardent reappraisal of a culture long caricatured in English letters. Blending art history, cultural polemic, and the eyewitness verve of a traveler, he follows the thread from late antiquity to the Renaissance, showing how Byzantine theology, aesthetics, and governance sustained and fertilized Europe. With lapidary description of Hagia Sophia, Ravennas mosaics, and the severe poise of icons, Byron overturns the cliche of decadence, marrying close visual analysis to a capacious historical argument. Educated at Eton and Oxford and hardened by journeys through Greece, Mount Athos, and the Near East, Byron wrote from the primacy of seeing. Monastic ritual, chant, and weathered stone trained his eye for structure and symbol, while a modernist taste for clarity made him receptive to Byzantine abstraction. Field notes and early essays flow into this books plea to judge civilizations by experienced form, not inherited prejudice. Scholars of medieval and Mediterranean worlds, architects, and reflective travelers will find this a bracing corrective. Read it to widen Europes lineage, and for prose that makes buildings visible.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

I have created this book as a reference catalog for illustrators, historians, writers and for all those passionate about history. As a draftsman I have suffered many headaches and wasted too much time gathering material for the realization of certain work, its technical details, shapes, etc. For that reason I decided to organize several informative catalogs about airplanes, uniforms, tanks and ships. I hope that in this way I can facilitate the work of my colleagues, or at least have satisfied to some extent the curiosity of my reader friends.

For centuries, flying was an unrealizable dream, preserved in the minds of men for millennia. Humanity first populated the heavens with gods and mystical figures capable of flying, people had colonized the lands and ventured into the seas with increasingly better results, but the sky above their heads seemed to be unattainable. Then some dreamers began to dare, inspired by the legend of Icarus, improvising wings that tried to imitate the flight of birds. From the beginning, the exploration of this new frontier caused its victims, like the Englishman Oliver who jumped from an elevated tower using a pair of wings, or the Italian Damiani some centuries later. Leonardo Da Vinci developed a series of studies of the flight of birds, projecting some interesting machines, such as the ornitopter and the first parachute. The Industrial Revolution made available to man the technology necessary to finally build a machine capable of taking flight, already in the twentieth century. It is not my intention to participate in the eternal discussion about who was the first to fly, in my humble opinion, the plane was the consequence of a long list of failures and corrections, until reaching the objective. Each of the crazy dreamers contributed to a greater or lesser degree, often sacrificing his own life, and to attribute the final result to a single person would be a great injustice to the memory of all of them. Leaving aside the origin, we can affirm that aviation has been promoted and...
