May 2018The Pinochet Plot
by David Myles Robinson
Successful San Francisco attorney Will Muñoz has heard of the brutal former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, of course, but it's not until he receives his mother's suicide letter that he has any inkling Pinochet may have had his father, Chilean writer Ricardo Muñoz, assassinated thirty years earlier.Her suspicions spur Will on to a quest to discover the truth about his father's death–and about the psychological forces that have driven his mother to her fatal decision. His journey takes him deep into unexpected darkness linking his current step-father, the CIA, drug-experimentation programs, and a conspiracy of domestic terrorism. The Pinochet Plot is not just a story of a man seeking inner peace; it is also a story of sinister history doomed to repeat itself.

Business, Economics & LawJune 2019Overtourism
Excesses, Discontents and Measures in Travel and Tourism
by Claudio Milano, Joseph M Cheer, Marina Novelli
The 'overtourism' phenomenon is defined as the excessive growth of visitors leading to overcrowding and the consequencial suffering of residents, due to temporary and often seasonal tourism peaks, that lead to permanent changes in lifestyles, amenities and well-being. Enormous tensions in overtourism affected destinations have driven the intensification of policy making and scholarly attention toward seeking antidotes to an issue that is considered paradoxical and problematic. Moving beyond the 'top 10 things you can do about overtourism', this book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism as well as the system dynamics underpinning it. With a rigorous scientific approach the book uses systems-thinking and contemporary paradigms around sustainable development, resilience planning and degrowth; while considering global economic, socio-political, environmental

September 2008Gute Vorsätze, schlechtes Karma
Geschichten vom Ende des Jahres
by Harriet Köhler, Karsten Kredel
Silvester: eigentlich nur ein Datum, aber eines, dem man sich schwer entziehen kann, wenn einem die Knaller um die Ohren fliegen und die Flucht aufs Land spätestens im Oktober geplant werden muss. Und die stillen Tage zwischen den Jahren, in die man nach Weihnachten satt und faul driftet: Die einen genießen sie, andere ergreift die Panik, wenn Rückschau und innere Einkehr drohen. Und immer wieder hofft man hartnäckig auf Erneuerung. Man möchte ein besserer Mensch werden, bewusster leben, weniger fernsehen. Siebzehn neue Geschichten über die Tage am Ende des Jahres. Was bringen sie außer Katerstimmung und hohen Rechnungen? Was genau geht da eigentlich zu Ende? Und was beginnt? Mit Texten von DBC Pierre, Detlef Kuhlbrodt, Rainer Schmidt, Thomas Pletzinger, Markus Kavka, Moritz von Uslar, Barbara Höfler, Thomas von Steinaecker, Claudio Gutteck, Susanne Heinrich, Anna von Bayern, Saskia Fischer, Andreas Stichmann, Tobias Hülswitt und Malin Schwerdtfeger.

Siete Plantas.
Historias de la gente sin nombre
by Diana Obando, Sara Muñoz
“This book is a ferment.” It gathers the stories of seven plants and the experiences of a group of women who cultivated their relationship with them during a deep study process. Their encounter produced a system that weaves analogies between the body itself and how non-human people relate, whether they are plants, animals, fungi, places in the territory, or telluric forces. Each text reveals the hunger, wounds, and poisons of the person who studies and offers intimacy and work, as well as secrecy and witchcraft.“In some traditions of the Amazonian foothills and the highlands, dry corn is chewed and spit into a ceramic bowl when preparing chicha. Then water and panela are added; the mixture rests in a cool place where direct sunlight does not reach, waiting for fermentation to begin....] In certain places, on the occasion of mingas or some collective agreement, everyone prepares chicha. The people present chew and spit into the bowl. This is how the will to come together is declared and embodied. Each family or person takes home a part of the seed and asks for what the collective body and the agreement need: more material or sweetness, lightness or firmness. The chicha speaks and often says what people don't.
