Book Description
Jacques Attali cuenta en estas páginas la increíble historia de los próximos cincuenta años tal como se puede imaginar a partir de cuanto se sabe de la historia y de la ciencia. Pone de manifiesto cómo evolucionarán las relaciones entre las naciones y cómo las convulsiones demográficas, los movimientos de población, las mutaciones del trabajo, las nuevas formas del mercado, el terrorismo, la violencia, los cambios climáticos y la influencia de lo religioso, vendrán a perturbar nuestra vida cotidiana.. Revela también cómo unos progresos técnicos asombrosos revolucionarán el trabajo, el ocio, la educación, la sanidad, las culturas y los sistemas políticos; cómo costumbres hoy en día consideradas escandalosas serán un día admitidas. Muestra, finalmente, que será posible ir hacia la abundancia, eliminar la pobreza, conseguir que cada persona se beneficie equitativamente de las ventajas de la tecnología y de la imaginación mercantil, preservar la libertad tanto de sus propios excesos como de sus enemigos, dejar a las generaciones venideras un medio ambiente mejor protegido, hacer surgir, a partir de todas las sabidurías del mundo, nuevas maneras de vivir y de crear juntos.

Book Description
In 1921, Paul Amadeus Dienach, a Swiss-Austrian teacher with fragile health, falls into a one-year-long coma. During this time, his consciousness slides into the future and enters the body of another man in 3906 A.D. When Dienach awakens from his coma, he finds himself back in 1922. Knowing that he doesn't have much time left, he writes a diary, recording whatever he could remember from his amazing experience: the mankind's history in the forthcoming centuries, from the nightmare of overpopulation and World Wars up until the world-changing globalisation, the radical new administration system, the colony on Mars and the next human evolutionary stage. Without any close friends and relatives to entrust, he doesn't say a word to anyone out of fear of being branded a lunatic. Before he dies, he hands his diary to his favourite student, George Papachatzis, later prominent Professor of Law and Rector of Panteion University of Greece.The diary circulates as hidden knowledge amongst high ranking masons in the lodges of Athens. In 1972, professor Papachatzis, despite an intense dispute, decides to publish Dienach's diary in Greek. Paul Dienach was not an author, poet, or professional writer. Rather, he was an ordinary man who kept a journal, never with the expectation that it would be published. This unique and controversial book, a universal legacy, is now carefully edited, translated and available to everyone. This is the history of our future! We deliver it to you."

Book Description
Greek philosophers built great discussions about reality, which are still current in our times and still inspire today's great thinkers. From mathematical teachings by Pythagoras, encompassing Plato's and Aristotle's ideas, these great discussions have been essential for our present intelectual development. Today, however, this role has been adopted by a new class of visionaries. Brought together by this new Platonic Academy based in Stanford University; devoted to proving and making use of the supremacy of numbers and mathematics in the digital world; intent on finding the new Holy Grail embodied in the perfect algorithm, present time's entrepreneurs of new technologies have radically transformed, for good or otherwise, the world as we know it. Ulrich Richter Morales delves deep into the legacy – sometimes clear, sometimes mystical and esoteric – of the Pythagoreans in their diverse historical incarnations. He particularly emphasizes their dominant role in these digital times, while he introduces a debate regarding the sort of machines we ought to develop. Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, among others, are declared heirs of the Mathematician from Samos and, always engrossed in polemic discussions, they are inseparable from our concept of how the world works. Getting to know them as persons and as thinkers is a way to better understand modern day life and our role as citizens, in the unstable, volatile grounds we tread on today.

Book Description
An Australian Book Review Best Book of the Year A disturbing in-depth exposé of the antidemocratic practices of despotic governments now sweeping the world. One day they’ll be like us. That was once the West’s complacent and self-regarding assumption about countries emerging from poverty, imperial rule, or communism. But many have hardened into something very different from liberal democracy: what the eminent political thinker John Keane describes as a new form of despotism. And one day, he warns, we may be more like them. Drawing on extensive travels, interviews, and a lifetime of thinking about democracy and its enemies, Keane shows how governments from Russia and China through Central Asia to the Middle East and Europe have mastered a formidable combination of political tools that threaten the established ideals and practices of power-sharing democracy. They mobilize the rhetoric of democracy and win public support for workable forms of government based on patronage, dark money, steady economic growth, sophisticated media controls, strangled judiciaries, dragnet surveillance, and selective violence against their opponents. Casting doubt on such fashionable terms as dictatorship, autocracy, fascism, and authoritarianism, Keane makes a case for retrieving and refurbishing the old term “despotism” to make sense of how these regimes function and endure. He shows how they cooperate regionally and globally and draw strength from each other’s resources while breeding global anxieties and threatening the values and institutions of democracy. Like Montesquieu in the eighteenth century, Keane stresses the willing complicity of comfortable citizens in all these trends. And, like Montesquieu, he worries that the practices of despotism are closer to home than we care to admit.

Book Description
Los médicos tenemos conciencia de la verdadera revolución que se opera en la base científica de nuestra práctica, acompañada del acceso a nuevos recursos terapéuticos y de diagnóstico inimaginables poco tiempo atrás. Pero desde la mirada de los pacientes, la medicina se ha deshumanizado: los médicos escuchan poco, arrogantes de su saber o apurados por sus compromisos (algo muy lejos del modelo nostálgico del médico de la familia). El origen de ese malestar es complejo, y la posibilidad de saltar de la queja a una reflexión que nos permita avanzar hacia una medicina mejor parece muy difícil de lograr. Este libro intenta explorar algunos caminos de debate sobre el complicado panorama de la medicina del nuevo siglo, mediante capítulos agrupados en tres temas de interés: “La Medicina Basada en Evidencias”, “El encuentro entre pacientes y médicos”, y “Las nuevas miradas a la medicina del siglo XXI”.

Book Description
This book casts a fresh look at what to date has been a relatively unexplored question: the enormous value and usefulness of the metaphor in the understanding and writing of history (and at the historical culture reflected by these metaphors). Mapping a wide range of tropes present in historiography and public discourse, the book identifies some of the key metaphorical resources employed by historians, politicians, and journalists to represent time, history, memory, the past, the present, and the future and examines a selection of analytical concepts of a temporal nature, built upon unmistakeably metaphorical foundations, such as modernity, event, process, revolution, crisis, progress, decline, or transition. The analysis of these and other pillars on which modern history has been built, whether as a philosophy of history, as an academic discipline, or as a set of events, will interest graduates and scholars dealing with the historical and social sciences and the humanities in general. Key Metaphors for History offers a broad overview of historiography and historiosophy, from an unfrequented point of view, halfway between conceptual history, theory of history and metaphorology. Moreover, it constitutes a form of self-reflection of the historian on his or her own positionality when researching and writing history.

Book Description
Chemtrails y Grafeno: La Red Global de Control y Sumisión Humana no es un libro para los ingenuos ni para aquellos que prefieren cerrar los ojos ante la realidad que nos rodea. Este ensayo está destinado a las mentes valientes, a aquellos que se atreven a cuestionar el relato oficial y que intuyen, en lo más profundo de su ser, que hay algo terriblemente mal en la versión de la realidad que nos han impuesto. A lo largo de los últimos años, los grandes medios de comunicación, las instituciones científicas y los llamados "expertos" han tratado de ridiculizar a quienes se atreven a explorar lo que ocurre detrás de las cortinas del poder. Han creado teorías absurdas, como la idea de que la Tierra es plana, para denigrar el pensamiento crítico y empañar el nombre de los verdaderos investigadores. Esta estrategia no es casual: el objetivo es desacreditar a quienes buscan la verdad, mezclando verdades peligrosas con mentiras estrafalarias para confundir y desviar la atención de las auténticas conspiraciones que nos afectan a todos. En este libro, no hablaremos de cuentos infantiles ni teorías irrelevantes. Nos adentraremos en un territorio mucho más oscuro y oculto, donde los chemtrails y el grafeno son las piezas claves de una red global diseñada para controlar y someter a la humanidad. Lo que el mundo llama "teorías conspirativas" son, en realidad, verdades tan incómodas que los poderes fácticos han invertido ingentes recursos en desacreditarlas.

Book Description
This book is a general introduction to the structures of the different medieval Romance vernaculars most commonly known as Old or Medieval Spanish, as preserved in texts from Spain from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. After discussing general methodological questions concerning the description and analysis of an earlier historical stage of a modern language, the individual chapters in the first part of the book describe the orthography, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary of medieval Hispano-Romance. Steven N. Dworkin offers the first systematic description of the language in English, and compares its structures with those found in the modern variety. In the second part of the book, the features of medieval Hispano-Romance are exemplified in an anthology of selected texts, one from each of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, accompanied by linguistic commentary. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Romance linguistics, Spanish historical linguistics, and Spanish medieval literary and cultural studies.
