      Autodefensa feminista para todo el mundo

      by Karin Konkle

      This book deals with a subject of current interest, because there have been notorious cases of gender violence everywhere, leading to a significant increase in awareness of the issue. Self-defence is explained in a well-rounded way, including the handling of emotions, personal space, communication, and physical conflict, as well as the social framework in which violence occurs. The book has a unique focus, as it also deals with the relationship between the mind and body, and the usefulness of mindfulness for self-defence, as well as providing specific techniques for improving verbal communication.

      Robos, expolios y otras anécdotas del arte viajero

      by Federico García Serrano

      An illustrated book about the world of art that can be read as a thriller. Paintings contain lots of stories. The intimacy of rooms or the oblivion of storerooms and attics hide the unalterable messages pictures have to reveal. This book gives a completely new approach to art, the intimate life of pictures and their social context. The author explains the different “journeys” many works of art have done over time until reaching their final location. Pictures whose biography wraps them in mystery and adventure. These adventures -plunders, the rise and fall of cultural heritage, fashion, art collectors, transactions or sometimes simply a strike of fortune- have taken them from one place to another.
