September 2011Madrid
Ein Reisebegleiter
by Andreas Drouve
Das berühmte Museumsdreieck am Paseo del Prado, der Königspalast und die Kathedrale la Almudena – und vieles mehr gibt es in Madrid zu sehen. Schon Hans-Christian Andersen erlebte bei seinem Besuch einen "unendlich großen Kunstgenuß". Spaniens Hauptstadt gilt als europäische Kulturmetropole ersten Ranges: Cervantes, der Schöpfer des Don Quixote, wurde hier geboren; der Dramatiker Lope de Vega war im Goldenen Zeitalter produktiv, Goya malte die Kapelle San Antonio de la Florida aus, und Hemingway war während des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs hier. Andreas Drouve führt den Leser auf den Spuren der großen Literaten und Künstler durch die Stadt und lädt zu Entdeckungen auch außerhalb der touristischen Pfade ein. Stadtplanauszüge und ein umfangreicher Serviceteil machen diesen Band zu einem unentbehrlichen Begleiter im Reisegepäck.

FictionThe Lady of the Prado
by Alejandro Corral
AN ENIGMATIC YOUNG GIRL MURDERED YEARS EARLIER As delivery of the manuscript draws closer, Oliver Brun, a young writer and art history researcher who, after winning a major literary award, fears that he will not live up to expectations with his second novel, feels less and less inspired. Nothing seems to break his writer’s block, till one day, at the house of his teacher and mentor, David Sender, he comes upon a secret: the enigmatic photographs of a young woman and a portrait of her posing as the Mona Lisa. A LEGENDARY PAINTING IN THE PRADO MUSEUM A few days later, in the town where David Sender lives in the Madrid Mountains, bones appear in the lake. Evidence confirms that they belong to Melisa Nierga, the young woman in the photographs, and the teacher is immediately detained by the police. Oliver suddenly realizes that he not only has before him the great story he was waiting for, but also a chilling mystery: could the man who has taught him everything be a murderer? CAN A MURDER BECOME A WORK OF ART? Oliver turns to his college classmate, Nora, to help him unravel the mystery. Together they will come upon some writings in Latin that could link the girl’s murder with one of the most beautiful paintings ever painted, the portrait known as “the Prado’s Mona Lisa”.In this fascinating novel, Alejandro Corral combines the research of some of the best kept secrets in the History of Art with a fast-paced thriller that seizes the reader from the first line.

Litigious captives
indigenous demands for freedom in Portuguese Amazonia (1706-1759)
by Luma Ribeiro Prado
This book reveals that the original peoples of the land we now call Brazil have long resorted to justice as one of the possible arenas for fighting against the advance of colonization over their bodies and territories. Anyone who is still surprised by indigenous lawyers defending their “relatives” in the highest courts in the country and the world should know that their ancestors had been filing lawsuits in colonial courts since at least the 18th century, appealing decisions if necessary until the matter was heard by the king of Portugal. These are the “captive litigants” described in these pages: indigenous people, mainly women, who went to the courts of the time with the aim of freeing themselves and their families from the slavery to which they were subjected in the regions of Pará and Maranhão - and, more often than not, they succeeded. With this award-winning research, Luma Ribeiro Prado sheds light on little-known issues in the history of ancestral peoples and the leading role of indigenous women in an incessant and admirable process of resistance to erasure.

PoetryJune 2019Newspaperbirds of march 2011
by Amaranta Caballero Prado
Este libro está lleno de poemas que desmontan, sabotean, vuelven a armar las cosas de otro modo y hacen algunas más con las piezas sobrantes. Los “contextos” donde asoman las aves por las páginas de los diarios, volviendo gorupos las palabras, son mucho más, me parece, que una ilustración; o más bien lo son en sentido profundo: la escenificación del modus operandi de esos pájaros de cuenta que asoman por detrás de las ventanas del crucigrama. Yo, que le temo a todos los animales, luego de este libro me siento como el Espantapájaros del Mago de Oz: tengo los alfileres que llamaré “cerebro”. Ángel Ortuño

PoetryMicrodoses
A poetry book written by Enrique Bunbury, focusing on his personal life and microdoses as a form of self-discovery.
by Enrique Bunbury
MicroDosis is a diary written during the last two years in which Enrique Bunbury decides to experiment in his conscience the ingestion of microdoses of psilocybin. The genre chosen by the author to narrate this inner journey is poetry. In this way Bunbury consolidates his incursion into literature after the appearance in 2021 of his first collection of poems Exilio Topanga (La Bella Varsovia) adding to the aesthetic features present in that one an atmosphere of psychedelia and a critique of "the mental norm" of the system. MicroDosis is an experiential and intimate book that contemplates the daily routine with eyes that open without hesitation the doors of another perception. Space and time acquire a new depth, just as they do in Krishnamurti's diaries, grafting onto its passages the heritage of the American beat generation, the oneirism of David Lynch and a very filmic plasticity that runs through Los Angeles with a neural network in flames. Taking the words of Vicente Gallego in his prologue: "Of that extinction of oneself in the cosmic amplitude, of those inner journeys where the familiar becomes unacceptable and the prodigious dawns to its prodigality the pages of this book written with his underpants off, but full of affection for everything, including the always vain spectacle of this world, speak to us."

The ArtsBauhaus Women Designers
History of a silent revolution
by María Vadillo
In 1919, Walter Gropius founded the Staatliche Bauhaus in Weimar (Germany): a place for construction. The project was born as a utopian school in which to train, integrating various artistic disciplines through the object and architecture, the new craftsmen that would be demanded for a sweeping beginning of the century. An idea that would evolve into design from its headquarters in Dessau with the famous "art and technology: a new unity". However, the intellectual recognition of the Bauhaus is a fact that historically focused on its male protagonists, forgetting a number of women artists, designers, set designers, painters or architects trained there who contributed decisively to this "revolution", and whose work in the imaginary about the Bauhaus has remained invisible, despite developing their respective careers with an unquestionable international impact. With this work, Marisa Vadillo fills this gap, completing the reality of the school by recounting the outstanding role of these fundamental authors in an unrepeatable episode of twentieth-century art.

April 2018Rethinking Development: Interdisciplinary Readings
by Mariana Valderrama Leongómez, Luis Gabriel Duquino Rojas, Fabio Andrés Vinasco Ñustes, Marco Aguilera-Prado
This book presents three case studies on the ways in which conventional discourse on development conditions, shapes, and intervenes in the lives of human beings and their environment. Moreover, It shows how the epistemological logic that sustains the discourse on development permeates and exceeds its own limits. It also reaches those theoretical and practical proposals that seek to distance themselves from this discourse and that declare themselves to be resistant. This book is made up with these three case studies, where we present different conceptualizations and ways in which the conventional discourse on development affects the quality of life of people. These are subject to public policies, governmental and institutional interventions. Finally, the objective is to highlight the knowledge / power relationship that holds the development discourse and, how it has material and symbolic effects that produce and reproduce unequal conditions of existence.

FictionPolar Quantum
by Almudena Otero
Polar Quantum is a scifi novel set in the 22nd century. Global warming finally caused polar caps to melt and the air to become poisonous. To save humankind, two giant domes were built: one in Greenland, where rich people live; and one in Antarctica, for scientists and intellectuals. Antarctica is the sole remaining part of the Earth where some permanent ice survives, allowing for the development of a type of quantum technology to create a system of AI humanoid systems, that interact with humans being to save what remains of the planet. In this context, historian Gabriel Beristain moves to Quanta, in Antarctica, with his family, where he has been tasked with translating classic works of literature into Kunstig, a language developed to allow the interaction of humanoids and humans. What seems to be a fascinating project opens the door to a world of intrigue, betrayal, and violence that puts the fragile balance of Antarctica, and the survival of the world, into question. The purpose of Polar Quantum is depticing a world where the very essence of humankind is put to the test, and where the coexistence of synthetic humanoids and flesh and blood humans is possible…only if they work together.

Agricultural scienceAugust 2017Climate Resilient Animal Agriculture
by GSLHV Prasada Rao
Animal husbandry is strongly influenced by weather and climate. Climate change/variability imposes multiple stresses in animals and thus vital to understand the impact of environmental stress on livestock production and reproduction. Among the environmental variables affecting livestock, heat stress seems to be one of the more intriguing factors making difficult animal reproduction and production. Information and knowledge on animal responses to the environment continues to be in process, managing livestock to reduce the impact of adverse weather and climate remains a challenge. Responding to the challenges of global warming necessitate a paradigm shift in the practice of agriculture and in the role of livestock within the farming system. The key thematic issues on environment stress and livestock production includes: early warning system, multiple stress research, exploitation of genetic potential of native breeds, suitable breeding programme and nutritional intervention research. Livestock farmers should have key roles in determining what adaptation and mitigation strategies they support if these have to sustain livestock production in changing climate. The integration of new technologies into the research and technology transfer systems potentially offers many opportunities to further the development of climate change adaptation strategies. This publication is therefore a multi-authored attempt to present the scientific fraternity high quality resource material in the field of climate change and livestock production. Attempts were made to discuss the adaptive mechanism that the animal exhibits to counteract the adverse effects of heat stress. In addition to the adaptive mechanisms, several management and feeding practices have also been established as tested methods for reduction of stress effects in livestock. It also highlights the challenges the livestock industry faces in maintaining the delicate balance between animal welfare and production. This book is a comprehensive resource for the researchers, teachers and students to understand stress, stress management and livestock productivity so as to sustain animal production in the Country under projected climate change scenario.

History of religionThe Bible, from the Beginning to the End
A Reading Guide for Today
by Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi
No literary work has exerted more influence on Western culture than the Bible. None has been more studied by archaeologists, historians, philologists, anthropologists, philosophers or theologians across the centuries. For anyone interested in this work, true heritage of the world, this book is an indispensable introduction to the main contents and to the discoveries that have been done in recent decades, usually restricted to specialists’ circles. The author offers a vast overview of each one of the books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Characters, geographical settings, historical events, cultures, literary genres and numberless complementary data help the reader to think about the present in light of a past that has configured the mindset of whole generations. “The author combines a simple, yet rigorous, scientific vision of the problems, with a believing reading and an extraordinary pedagogical ability to reach today’s readers.”
