Stranger to the Moon

Author: Evelio Rosero
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811228630
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 79

Book Description
A fantastical novel about power and subservience by the great Evelio Rosero, winner of Colombia’s National Literature Prize The renowned Colombian writer Evelio Rosero has never been one to shy away from the darker aspects of his nation’s history and society. His magnificent novel Stranger to the Moon portrays a world that seems to exist outside time and place but taps into the dark myths and collective subconscious of his country, with its harrowing inequality and violence. A parable of pointed social criticism, with naked humans imprisoned in a house in order to serve the needs of “the vicious clothed ones,” the novel describes what ensues when a single “naked one” privately rebels, risking his own death and that of his fellow prisoners. Each subsequent section of the book adds further layers to the ritualistic and bizarre social order inhabited by its characters. Insects and reptiles are trained as agents and spies against the naked ones, and only the most fortunate humans manage to reach old age by taking up strategic spots near the kitchens and grabbing for the fiercely contested food. Stranger to the Moon is a brave, powerful, and distinctive novel by a writer who arguably holds the strongest claim to the title of Colombia’s greatest living author.

Cancer as a Wake-Up Call

Author: M. Laura Nasi, M.D.
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1623172977
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 377

Book Description
An oncologist’s integrative path to treating and living better with or beyond cancer Dr. M. Laura Nasi presents a new way of looking at how we view and treat cancer. With current advances in medicine, we’re learning more about the ways different aspects of our lives and health impact and interact with one another—why does one long-term smoker get diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer while another remains cancer-free? Why does someone exposed to a known carcinogen get sick while someone else is apparently immune? What seemingly unrelated factors end up playing key roles in disease etiology, progression, and prognosis? In this well-researched, inspiring, and easy-to-read guide, Dr. Nasi offers an integrative, whole-person approach to cancer, and explains how it is a systemic disease manifesting a global condition locally. Conventional medicine focuses on attacking malignant cells. Integrative medicine encourages chemo and radiation when necessary, while also focusing on a patient’s internal balance to help halt the disease. Nasi draws on the latest research on the PNIE (psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrine) network to help our systems recognize, repair, or eliminate the cancer cells, focusing on nutrition, stress management, exercise, adequate sleep, healthy relationships, and other body/mind/spirit modalities. Dr. Nasi encourages patients to become empowered agents of their own care.

Pluton/Pluto

Languages : es
Pages : 28

Book Description
Este interesante y entretenido libro ûpublicado en edición bilingüe inglés y españolû está especialmente dirigido a los pequeños lectores entre cuatro y ocho años. Con un lenguaje claro, directo y muy fácil de comprender, junto con hermosas fotografías, presenta información básica acerca del planeta Plutón. Plutón es el noveno planeta del Sistema Solar y el más alejado del Sol que se conoce. Plutón fue descubierto a raíz de una búsqueda telescópica iniciada en 1905 por el astrónomo estadounidense Percival Lowell, quien supuso la existencia de un planeta situado más allá de Neptuno como el causante de ligeras perturbaciones en los movimientos de Urano. Plutón solamente puede ser visto a través de grandes telescopios, con los que se ha comprobado que es de color amarillento. Durante muchos años se ha sabido muy poco acerca de este planeta, pero en 1978 los astrónomos descubrieron una luna relativamente grande girando alrededor de Plutón.
