Maléficos duendes que tiñen sus gorros con la sangre de viajeros desprevenidos, viejas con senos de piedra que destrozan niños contra ellos, elefantes con siete trompas, caballos alados y serpientes emplumadas, un perro con tres cabezas que custodia la puerta de los infiernos, gigantes con un solo ojo en el medio de la frente, peces inmensos con cabeza de caballo, mulas que, en realidad, son mujeres transformadas y aves que tienen el poder de renacer de sus propias cenizas son algunas de las criaturas que componen la fauna mítica creada por la humanidad, conjunto del cual sólo pudimos dar cuenta mínimamente en este volumen, ya que, como bien decía Jorge Luis Borges en el prólogo de El libro de los seres imaginarios: "Un libro de esta índole es necesariamente incompleto; cada nueva edición es el núcleo de ediciones futuras que pueden multiplicarse hasta el infinito". Empero, esta compilación que rastreó seres fantásticos de la mitología y las leyendas griegas, cántabras, argentinas y nórdicas, entre otras, pone de manifiesto que la imaginación del género humano casi no ha tenido límites a la hora de desplegar su inventiva en pos de crear criaturas fantásticas, seres imaginarios, entidades monstruosas o como prefiera llamárselas. Casi tampoco los tiene: hoy en día, la leyenda de Nessie (el monstruo de lago Ness) sigue tan viva como hace centurias y los diarios, revistas y portales de Internet latinoamericanos dan cuenta con regularidad de los desastres originados por el chupacabras. Concretamente, Notiver, del 10 de enero de 2006, titula "Reaparece el chupacabras" para dar la noticia de diez borregos descuartizados en Veracruz, México. Pero... en esa imaginación, en cierto sentido desbocada y que ha traspasado fronteras tanto de tiempo como de espacio, ¿puede inferirse algún tipo de límite o de parámetro?, ¿es posible rastrear algún "método" o procedimiento recurrente, aunque no sea más que inconsciente o intuitivo? Analizando las descripciones y relatos que se han recogido en este libro podemos dar una respuesta afirmativa. Efectivamente, en la mayor parte de los casos existe una serie de procedimientos básicos para idear/imaginar/describir una criatura fantástica y éstos, como no podía ser de otra manera, siempre se realizan sobre la base de lo conocido. Tal como sostienen quienes estudian el fenómeno de la creatividad, lo que genera un efecto de sentido que podríamos denominar "creativo" no es algo nuevo, sino una combinación novedosa de lo ya existente. Y esto también se aplica a los seres que nos ocupan en este volumen y a los métodos que se ponen en juego para "crear" esas criaturas.

John Ratey, bestselling author and clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, lucidly explains the human brain’s workings, and paves the way for a better understanding of how the brain affects who we are. Ratey provides insight into the basic structure and chemistry of the brain, and demonstrates how its systems shape our perceptions, emotions, and behavior. By giving us a greater understanding of how the brain responds to the guidance of its user, he provides us with knowledge that can enable us to improve our lives. In A User’s Guide to the Brain, Ratey clearly and succinctly surveys what scientists now know about the brain and how we use it. He looks at the brain as a malleable organ capable of improvement and change, like any muscle, and examines the way specific motor functions might be applied to overcome neural disorders ranging from everyday shyness to autism. Drawing on examples from his practice and from everyday life, Ratey illustrates that the most important lesson we can learn about our brains is how to use them to their maximum potential.

Daniel Goleman Omnibus written by Daniel Goleman and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Emotional intelligence categories.
Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.

The Fantastic written by Tzvetan Todorov and has been published by Cornell University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1975 with Art categories.
In The Fantastic, Tzvetan Todorov seeks to examine both generic theory and a particular genre, moving back and forth between a poetics of the fantastic itself and a metapoetics or theory of theorizing, even as he suggest that one must, as a critic, move back and forth between theory and history, between idea and fact. His work on the fantastic is indeed about a historical phenomenon that we recognize, about specific works that we may read, but it is also about the use and abuse of generic theory. As an essay in fictional poetics, The Fantastic is consciously structuralist in its approach to the generic subject. Todorov seeks linguistic bases for the structural features he notes in a variety of fantastic texts, including Potocki's The Sargasso Manuscript, Nerval's Aurélia, Balzac's The Magic Skin, the Arabian Nights, Cazotte's Le Diable Amoureux, Kafka's The Metamorphosis, and tales by E. T. A. Hoffman, Charles Perrault, Guy de Maupassant, Nicolai Gogol, and Edgar A. Poe.

Although The Mysterious Island is technically a sequel to Vernes' enormously popular Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, this novel offers a vastly different take on similar thematic motifs. As with all of Verne's best-known works, The Mysterious Island is a masterpiece of the action-adventure genre, with a heaping dash of science fiction influence thrown in for good measure.

Chilean writer Isabel Allende’s classic novel is both a richly symbolic family saga and the riveting story of an unnamed Latin American country’s turbulent history. In a triumph of magic realism, Allende constructs a spirit-ridden world and fills it with colorful and all-too-human inhabitants. The Trueba family’s passions, struggles, and secrets span three generations and a century of violent social change, culminating in a crisis that brings the proud and tyrannical patriarch and his beloved granddaughter to opposite sides of the barricades. Against a backdrop of revolution and counterrevolution, Allende brings to life a family whose private bonds of love and hatred are more complex and enduring than the political allegiances that set them at odds. The House of the Spirits not only brings another nation’s history thrillingly to life, but also makes its people’s joys and anguishes wholly our own.

»The Canterville Ghost« is a short story by Oscar Wilde, originally published in 1891. OSCAR WILDE, born in 1854 in Dublin, died in 1900 in Paris, was an Irish prose writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Wilde's significance as a symbol for persecuted homosexuals around the world is immeasurable. Wilde himself was sentenced to prison and hard labour, his works were boycotted, theatrical productions were shut down, and he was publicly vilified. The Picture of Dorian Gray [1890] is his most famous work.

Biodiversity, sometimes simply understood as "diversity of species", is a specific quality of life on our planet, the dimensions and importance of which have just lately been fully realized. Today we know that "biological diversity is a global asset of incalculable value to present and future generations" (Kofi Annan). Biodiversity is spread unequally over the world: in fact, the main share of biological resources worldwide is harboured predominantly by the so-called developing countries in the tropics and sub tropics. Therefore, Biodiversity - A Challenge for Development Research and Policy was chosen as the title for an international conference which was held in Bonn in 1997 as one of the first major events organized by the then newly established North-South Centre for Development Research (ZEF) at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn (Germany). Since the ZEF, founded by the Senate of the University of Bonn in 1995, has played a central role in turning Bonn into a centre for international cooperation and North-South dialogue. The Centre is a product of the Bonn Berlin agreement of July 1994 which was adopted to offset the effects caused by the Parliament and much of the Government moving to Berlin. It fits in well with the double strategy to strengthen Bonn's position as an interna tional science arena and as an eminent place for development policy and the national and supranational agencies dealing with this issue.
