When animals feel threatened, they react or adapt to the new conditions of their environment to save their life. These behaviors can be innate, genetically programmed, or learned, and answer to the way animals interact with others and with the physical environment where they live. With this book, the little readers can learn about the survival strategies that animals use to adapt themselves to difficult conditions such as weather, vegetation, natural disasters, lack of food, and predators.

Clementina had the story of her life written before she was even born and it seemed happy, fortunate and privileged. Born into a family of the Madrid nobility she was always a happy child. But her grandmother, the spiteful, had already warned those around her, when she heard them talk about how the little girl didn’t cry, that “if she wasn’t crying now, she would do so in the future”. She had just turned sixteen when everything her family had planned for her was frustrated by the quirks of fate and her only way out was to escape. The first chapter of her new life starts here, already changed into a new person. A story of acceptance of her new self, of reconciliation with a solitude that will accompany her around the maps where she chooses to get lost, Madrid, Valencia and the United States. This is then story of a never-ending journey of a woman that could’ve had it all and was forced to forget her past to become a different person, one she had to embrace. Life teaches her a valuable lesson: in the escape the coward shows his courage. Clementina tenía los renglones de su historia escritos antes de nacer, y su vida se auguraba feliz, afortunada y privilegiada. Nacida en el seno de una familia de la nobleza madrileña, fue una niña alegre desde su nacimiento. Pero su abuela, la Rencorosa, ya lo advirtió a su entorno cuando oía comentarios sobre lo poco que lloraba la pequeña, «lo que no llore ahora, lo llorará cuando sea mayor», gruñía entre dientes.Apenas había cumplido los dieciséis años, cuando la vida que su entorno había planeado para ella se vio truncada por los caprichos del destino, y su única salvación fue la huida. Comienza entonces a escribir el primer capítulo de su segunda vida, ya convertida en otra persona. Una historia de búsqueda y de aceptación de su nueva identidad y de reconciliación con la soledad junto a la que se desplazará por los mapas en los que elige perderse, Madrid, Valencia y Estados Unidos.Esta es la historia del viaje interminable de una mujer que pudo tenerlo todo y que se vio obligada a olvidar su pasado para convertirse en otra persona, con la que tuvo que aprender a convivir. Una mujer a la que la vida enseñó que en la huida el cobarde demuestra su valentía.
Description Las Cuatro Paolinas Polinsky is a story that takes place in the Mexican Bajío, in the times of the poet Ramón López Velarde. This book narrates the adventures and lives of four generations of women whose existence takes place between the Porfiriato and post-revolutionary Mexico, whose physical and spiritual landscapes become extraordinary in after-dinner chats, in the interpretation of dreams, in poetry readings and mare trot journeys that mark not only the transit of the Polinskys, but of the entire country. The time of this story is marked by the memories of the Paolinas' ancestors, re-presented in the voice and stews of Doña Clementina and through the writing of Don Ramiro's Almanaque. In this novel, Becky Rubinstein recreates a beautiful provincial Mexico, but also a convulsive nation, full of fantastic characters that inhabit every corner and town in the interior of the country; A Mexico that has apparently vanished, but that survives in family stories and in the verses of López Velarde, in that soft homeland that not only saw the arrival of modernity, the train and the iron and concrete palaces, but also a violent social revolution that transformed everyone's walk on trotting roads, and later, on stumbling avenues infested by motorized vehicles. Welcome to this journey through time to recognize ourselves in the faces of each of the four Paolinas Polinsky.

Bienvenidos a este viaje por el tiempo para reconocernos en los rostros de cada una de la cuatro Paolinas Polinsky.
From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent. With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe. Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.
