Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acaba de producirse el último aviso de la naturaleza. La pandemia del coronavirus tomó a la Tierra por sorpresa y dejó a su paso muerte, incertidumbre y destrucción de las economías más fuertes del planeta. Todos nos hemos contagiado de unas interrogantes virales: ¿Cómo sobrevivirán los países y las cuentas domésticas? ¿Cómo serán a partir de esta experiencia las relaciones entre los seres humanos? ¿En qué Dios depositaremos la fe? ¿Cuál será en adelante nuestra relación ética con los medios de comunicación que nos informaron y engañaron a partes iguales? ¿Qué lugar van a ocupar los médicos y la ciencia en este nuevo ciclo de la vida? ¿Hasta dónde seguirán escalando la idiotez y la indiferencia de algunos frente a la destrucción del medio ambiente? ¿Y los políticos, entenderán de una vez que forman parte del problema y cada vez se distancian más de las soluciones? ¿Cuál será el próximo reto o qué nuevo virus tomará al mundo por asalto?... Después de veinticinco años, Félix y Ares se reencontraron en Facebook y dedicaron su cuarentena a respondernos estas preguntas. Cada cual lo hizo con su arte. Uno escogió la palabra y el otro la caricatura. Así nació El mundo después del coronavirus, libro que tiene una tesis de principio a fin: por más grave que sea el escenario post pandemia, la esperanza se pondrá a la altura del sol, que siempre refleja la sombra oscura detrás de nuestra espalda.
Download or read book Diez lecciones para el mundo de la postpandemia written by Fareed Zakaria and published by Ediciones Paidós. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lenin dijo una vez: «Hay décadas en las que no pasa nada y semanas en las que pasan décadas». Este es uno de esos momentos en los que la historia se ha acelerado. En estos momentos el Covid-19 ha reducido nuestros horizontes y cada día nuestros movimientos están siendo restringidos. A medida que los gobiernos hacen intentos contradictorios por controlar su reputación y el virus, se hace más evidente una creciente sensación de desunión global. Sin embargo, Fareed Zakaria sostiene que el legado de esta pandemia será la conectividad. La carrera por el 5G, la economía global digital y la pérdida de la hegemonía de Estados Unidos son grandes transformaciones que se han acelerado por el coronavirus y cambiarán drásticamente nuestras comunidades e instituciones, nuestros valores y prioridades personales. En Diez lecciones para el mundo de la postpandemia, Fareed Zakaria ayuda a los lectores a comprender la naturaleza del mundo tras la pandemia del Covid-19 así como las consecuencias políticas, sociales, tecnológicas y económicas que pueden tardar años en manifestarse. Combinando el análisis histórico con reflexiones personales sobre la vida social y la soledad, Zakaria trata de comprender cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí y expone un posible retrato del futuro. A través de breves capítulos, el autor presenta 10 lecciones para salir de la pandemia de la mejor manera posible. Entre ellas propone aprender a equilibrar el dinamismo económico con la preparación para futuros desastres; centrarse menos en el tamaño del gobierno que en su calidad; admitir que los gobiernos tienen un papel importante en la regulación de los mercados; renovar nuestro respeto por los expertos, y reducir la desigualdad en todo el mundo. Tomando ejemplos de la última pandemia mundial, la gripe española, así como de incidentes de la Guerra Fría y la Crisis Financiera Global, Zakaria ayuda a los lectores a comenzar a pensar más allá de los efectos inmediatos de Covid-19. Diez lecciones para el mundo de la postpandemia habla del pasado, el presente y el futuro y, si bien es un libro urgente y oportuno, seguramente se convertirá en una reflexión duradera sobre la vida a principios del siglo XXI.

Download or read book Homo Deus written by Yuval Noah Harari and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
Download or read book The Web of Meaning written by Jeremy Lent and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A profound personal meditation on human existence . . . weaving together . . . historic and contemporary thought on the deepest question of all: why are we here?” —Gabor Maté M.D., author, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts As our civilization careens toward climate breakdown, ecological destruction, and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings. The dominant worldview of disconnection, which tells us we are split between mind and body, separate from each other, and at odds with the natural world, has been invalidated by modern science. Award-winning author Jeremy Lent, investigates humanity’s age-old questions—Who am I? Why am I? How should I live?—from a fresh perspective, weaving together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom. The result is a breathtaking accomplishment: a rich, coherent worldview based on a deep recognition of connectedness within ourselves, between each other, and with the entire natural world. It offers a compelling foundation for a new philosophical framework that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on a flourishing Earth. The Web of Meaning is for everyone looking for deep and coherent answers to the crisis of civilization. “One of the most brilliant and insightful minds of our age, Jeremy Lent has written one of the most essential and compelling books of our time.” —David Korten, author, When Corporations Rule the World and The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community “We need, now more than ever, to figure out how to make all kinds of connections. This book can help—and therefore it can help with a lot of the urgent tasks we face.” —Bill McKibben, author, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
Download or read book Los problemas de la geograf a escolar y la pandemia written by Benito Campo País and published by Nau Llibres. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pandemia ha cambiado nuestras vidas, pero nos ofrece la oportunidad de modificar las rutinas de enseñanza para mejorar la educación ciudadana desde la geografía e historia. Nuestra vinculación como docentes en la formación del profesorado y en el Geoforo Iberoamericano nos hace reforzar la didáctica como instrumento válido para producir el conocimiento y las habilidades básicas para los futuros docentes interesados en la geografía escolar de Iberoamérica. Así, la enseñanza geográfica necesita una práctica para desmembrar las noticias, comprobarlas, contrastarlas y entender su significado en el espacio territorial local y global; es decir, identificar y ponderar la relevancia y trascendencia de los hechos que se producen. Este libro responde al convencimiento que sus autores confieren a las tareas realizadas por el alumnado en general y los estudiantes de la formación del profesorado en particular. Se trata de “poner los tubos de neón” sobre quienes son uno de los ejes centrales del futuro de la educación, que por el desarrollo de su función docente serán los constructores no solo del futuro escolar sino del social y ciudadano.

Download or read book Mobility and Globalization in the Aftermath of COVID 19 written by Maximiliano E. Korstanje and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that COVID-19 revives a much deeper climate of terror which was instilled by terrorism and the War on Terror originally declared by Bush's administration in 2001. It discusses critically not only the consequences of COVID-19 on our daily lives but also “the end of hospitality”, at least as we know it. Since COVID-19 started spreading across the globe, it affected not only the tourism industry but also ground global trade to a halt. Governments adopted restrictive measures to stop the spread of the virus, including the closure of borders, and airspace, the introduction of strict lockdowns and social distancing, much of which led to large-scale cancellations of international and domestic flights. This book explores how global tourists, who were largely considered ambassadors of democratic and prosperous societies in the pre-pandemic days, have suddenly become undesired guests.
Download or read book Ascent to Glory written by Álvaro Santana-Acuña and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude seemed destined for obscurity upon its publication in 1967. The little-known author, small publisher, magical style, and setting in a remote Caribbean village were hardly the usual ingredients for success in the literary marketplace. Yet today it ranks among the best-selling books of all time. Translated into dozens of languages, it continues to enter the lives of new readers around the world. How did One Hundred Years of Solitude achieve this unlikely success? And what does its trajectory tell us about how a work of art becomes a classic? Ascent to Glory is a groundbreaking study of One Hundred Years of Solitude, from the moment García Márquez first had the idea for the novel to its global consecration. Using new documents from the author’s archives, Álvaro Santana-Acuña shows how García Márquez wrote the novel, going beyond the many legends that surround it. He unveils the literary ideas and networks that made possible the book’s creation and initial success. Santana-Acuña then follows this novel’s path in more than seventy countries on five continents and explains how thousands of people and organizations have helped it to become a global classic. Shedding new light on the novel’s imagination, production, and reception, Ascent to Glory is an eye-opening book for cultural sociologists and literary historians as well as for fans of García Márquez and One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Download or read book Generations written by Neil Howe and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1992-09-30 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed by national leaders as politically diverse as former Vice President Al Gore and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Generations has been heralded by reviewers as a brilliant, if somewhat unsettling, reassessment of where America is heading. William Strauss and Neil Howe posit the history of America as a succession of generational biographies, beginning in 1584 and encompassing every-one through the children of today. Their bold theory is that each generation belongs to one of four types, and that these types repeat sequentially in a fixed pattern. The vision of Generations allows us to plot a recurring cycle in American history -- a cycle of spiritual awakenings and secular crises -- from the founding colonists through the present day and well into this millenium. Generations is at once a refreshing historical narrative and a thrilling intuitive leap that reorders not only our history books but also our expectations for the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy written by Cortijo Ocaña, Antonio and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had to cope with isolation due to lockdown policies that forced them to engage in fewer social activities. People were confined to the small space of their dwellings and felt constrained and socially isolated and deprived of meaningful social interaction and affection, which caused stress and anxiety. Several initiatives were put in place to help diminish the effects of isolation, such as those involving literature either through writing or reading. Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy explains the positive medical and psychological effects of literature and writing during a pandemic at a time when isolation prevented people from engaging with others socially. Covering topics such as clinical psychology, brain neurology, and stress, this reference work is ideal for psychologists, medical professionals, policymakers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Download or read book Reframing Globalization After COVID 19 written by Pablo Baisotti and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pandemic has deepened existing trends in the international system, in particular the readjustment of alliances between nations and between regions. As spheres of influence disintegrate and reform, so national and regional security policies will change in unforeseen ways notwithstanding that individual state self-preservation will dominate policy choice. Three major dimensions are addressed. The first dimension is International Relations and Economy. The coronavirus has accelerated a global economic crisis comparable to those of 1929, 1987 and 2008. Are the major economic trading blocs moving to a war economy, and who might win or lose in this context? The second dimension of analysis is the growth of Information Communication. Hybrid and fragmented, especially in terms of the use of social media, the use of veiled threat and promoting discord in the form of providing provocative information on topics of the day can lead to conflict consequences and all its negative impacts. The third dimension is Geopolitical Reconfiguration. While world powers are always manoeuvring for an enhanced military and economic position, the pandemic offers new opportunities to capitalise on the changing power balance. The editors and contributors engage with the differing power polarities between China, the United States, India, Brazil, Russia, and the European Union. This book is one of the first to present research on the effects of COVID-19 on national public policy. Cross-cultural analysis of its effects, and the way in which different societies have addressed the fight against the virus, provides insight into the relations between states and possible solutions in the international arena. The work is essential reading for all those involved in international affairs and policy-making.
