Book Description
Cómo evoluciona el ser humano a partir de simios insignificantes para convertirse en gobernantes del mundo. El resumen de lectura indispensable de “Sapiens: una breve historia de la humanidad,” por Yuval Noah Harari. En Sapiens, el catedrático Yuval Noah Harari se enfoca sobre las tres grandes revoluciones de la historia humana: Cognitiva, Agrícola y Científica. Presenta una hipótesis de cómo el Homo sapiens se transforma, a partir de un animal intrascendente, hace setenta mil años para convertirse en el gobernante de la Tierra. Las anteriores especies humanas, tales como el Homo neanderthalensis en Europa y el Homo erectus en Asia, tenían adaptaciones climáticas y medioambientales que los sapiens no tuvieron. La Revolución Cognitiva, hacen 70.000 a 30.000 años, posibilitó al sapiens formar culturas elaboradas y comunicarse en ficciones. Las ficciones son los mitos, religiones, códigos morales, naciones, corporaciones y el dinero, que dan forma a las sociedades humanas, permitiéndoles hablar el mismo idioma y compartir las mismas costumbres, creencias, rituales y sueños. Las ficciones les permitieron también cooperar en grupos, dándoles una fuerza mi-litar y de seguridad, y fomentando la especialización que, eventualmente, les dio una ventaja tecnológica. Este libro cuenta la historia de cómo estas tres revoluciones han afectado a los seres humanos desde el inicio de la Revolución Cognitiva. Este libro cambia todo lo que pensábamos acerca del ser humano. Esta guía incluye: •Resumen del Libro: El resumen le ayuda a comprender las ideas clave y las recomendaciones. •Videos Online: Repetición a demanda de conferencias públicas y seminarios sobre los temas tratados en el capítulo.

Biodiversity
Author: N. Biedinger
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 366206071X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
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.

The Usefulness of the Useless
Author: Nuccio Ordine
Publisher: Paul Dry Books
ISBN: 1589881168
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
“A little masterpiece of originality and clarity.”—George Steiner “A necessary book.”—Roberto Saviano “A wonderful little book that will delight you.”—François Busnel International Best Seller / Now in English for the First Time In this thought-provoking and extremely timely work, Nuccio Ordine convincingly argues for the utility of useless knowledge and against the contemporary fixation on utilitarianism—for the fundamental importance of the liberal arts and against the damage caused by their neglect. Inspired by the reflections of great philosophers and writers (e.g., Plato, Dante, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Borges, and Calvino), Ordine reveals how the obsession for material goods and the cult of utility ultimately wither the spirit, jeopardizing not only schools and universities, art, and creativity, but also our most fundamental values—human dignity, love, and truth. Also included is Abraham Flexner’s 1939 essay “The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge,” which originally prompted Ordine to write this book. Flexner—a founder and the first director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton—offers an impassioned defense of curiosity-driven research and learning.

The Forbidden Religion
Author: Jose M. Herrou Aragon
Publisher: José M. Herrou Aragón
ISBN: 1471725693
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

Memory and Cultural History of the Spanish Civil War
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004259961
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
The authors in this anthology explore how we are to rethink political and social narratives of the Spanish Civil War at the turn of the twenty-first century. The questions addressed here are based on a solid intellectual conviction of all the contributors to resist facile arguments both on the Right and the Left, concerning the historical and collective memory of the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship in the milieu of post-transition to democracy. Central to a true democratic historical narrative is the commitment to listening to the other experiences and the willingness to rethink our present(s) in light of our past(s). The volume is divided in six parts: I. Institutional Realms of Memory; II. Past Imperfect: Gender Archetypes in Retrospect; III. The Many Languages of Domesticity; IV. Realms of Oblivion: Hunger, Repression, and Violence; V. Strangers to Ourselves: Autobiographical Testimonies; and VI. The Orient Within: Myths of Hispano-Arabic Identity. Contributors are Antonio Cazorla-Sánchez, Álex Bueno, Fernando Martínez López, Miguel Gómez Oliver, Mary Ann Dellinger, Geoffrey Jensen, Paula A. de la Cruz-Fernández, María del Mar Logroño Narbona, M. Cinta Ramblado Minero, Deirdre Finnerty, Victoria L. Enders, Pilar Domínguez Prats, Sofia Rodríguez López, Óscar Rodríguez Barreira, Nerea Aresti, and Miren Llona.

Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism
Author: Marlene L. Daut
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137470674
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.
