Book Description
The year 2007 could perhaps accurately be described as the year when climate change finally received the attention that this challenge deserves globally. Much of the information and knowledge that was created in this field during the year was the result of the findings of the Fourth - sessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which were disseminated on a large scale and reported extensively by the media. This was the result not only of a heightened interest on the part of the public on various aspects of climate change, but also because the IPCC itself proactively attempted to spread the findings of its AR4 to the public at large. The interest generated on the scientific realities of climate change was further enhanced by the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC and former Vice President of the US, Al Gore. By taking this decision in favour of a leader who has done a great deal to create awareness on c- mate change, and a body that assesses all scientific aspects of climate change and disseminates the result of its findings, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has clearly drawn the link between climate change and peace in the world.

Book Description
An analysis of contemporary violence as the new commodity of today's hyper-consumerist stage of capitalism. “Death has become the most profitable business in existence.” —from Gore Capitalism Written by the Tijuana activist intellectual Sayak Valencia, Gore Capitalism is a crucial essay that posits a decolonial, feminist philosophical approach to the outbreak of violence in Mexico and, more broadly, across the global regions of the Third World. Valencia argues that violence itself has become a product within hyper-consumerist neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured and mutilated bodies have become commodities to be traded and utilized for profit in an age of impunity and governmental austerity. In a lucid and transgressive voice, Valencia unravels the workings of the politics of death in the context of contemporary networks of hyper-consumption, the ups and downs of capital markets, drug trafficking, narcopower, and the impunity of the neoliberal state. She looks at the global rise of authoritarian governments, the erosion of civil society, the increasing violence against women, the deterioration of human rights, and the transformation of certain cities and regions into depopulated, ghostly settings for war. She offers a trenchant critique of masculinity and gender constructions in Mexico, linking their misogynist force to the booming trade in violence. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to analyze the new landscapes of war. It provides novel categories that allow us to deconstruct what is happening, while proposing vital epistemological tools developed in the convulsive Third World border space of Tijuana.

Feminismo para principiantes se ha convertido en el libro de cabecera de varias generaciones feministas. En esta edición Nuria Varela une su talento al de la ilustradora Antonia Santolaya para ofrecernos la versión cómic de este libro imprescindible. «El feminismo es la linterna que revela las sombras de todas las grandes ideas gestadas y desarrolladas sin las mujeres y, en ocasiones, a costa de ellas [...] Las feministas empuñamos esa linterna con orgullo por ser la herencia de millones de mujeres que, partiendo de la sumisión forzada y mientras eran atacadas, ridiculizadas y vilipendiadas, supieron construir una cultura, una ética y una ideología nuevas y revolucionarias para enriquecer y democratizar el mundo. La llevamos con orgullo porque su luz es la justicia que ilumina las habitaciones oscurecidas por la intolerancia, los prejuicios, los abusos. La llevamos con orgullo porque su luz nos da la libertad y la dignidad quehace ya demasiado tiempo nos robaron en detrimento de un mundo que sin nosotrasno puede considerarse humano.» Nuria Varela

Book Description
Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution. Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed? Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions. With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.

Book Description
Outspoken critic Jessa Crispin delivers a searing rejection of contemporary feminism . . . and a bracing manifesto for revolution. Are you a feminist? Do you believe women are human beings and that they deserve to be treated as such? That women deserve all the same rights and liberties bestowed upon men? If so, then you are a feminist . . . or so the feminists keep insisting. But somewhere along the way, the movement for female liberation sacrificed meaning for acceptance, and left us with a banal, polite, ineffectual pose that barely challenges the status quo. In this bracing, fiercely intelligent manifesto, Jessa Crispin demands more. Why I Am Not A Feminist is a radical, fearless call for revolution. It accuses the feminist movement of obliviousness, irrelevance, and cowardice—and demands nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression. Praise for Jessa Crispin, and The Dead Ladies Project "I'd follow Jessa Crispin to the ends of the earth." --Kathryn Davis, author of Duplex "Read with caution . . . Crispin is funny, sexy, self-lacerating, and politically attuned, with unique slants on literary criticism, travel writing, and female journeys. No one crosses genres, borders, and proprieties with more panache." --Laura Kipnis, author of Men: Notes from an Ongoing Investigation "Very, very funny. . . . The whole book is packed with delightfully offbeat prose . . . as raw as it is sophisticated, as quirky as it is intense." --The Chicago Tribune

Book Description
Cansadas es una mirada feminista que contempla recuerdos, reflexiones, repotajes, artículos, notas de viaje y conversaciones a lo largo de una década. Cansadas es el sugerente título del nuevo libro de la autora de Ibamos a ser reinas y Feminismo para principiantes (publicados por Ediciones B). En él, la autora evidencia las nuevas y sutiles formas del patriarcado para seguir discriminando a las mujeres bajo el velo de la igualdad, nuevas formas de sexismo y de misoginia, más encubiertas pero igual de machistas. «A estas alturas, resulta casi imposible cambiar actitudes y valores en un cuerpo agotado por la doble y triple jornada, por las microviolencias y micromachismos diarios, -en el trabajo y en las relaciones personales-, por la exigencia del mito de la belleza y la eterna juventud, la medicalización excesiva del cuerpo y la patologización de todos los procesos naturales de nuestros cuerpos. Invisibles. Nos hemos hecho mayores y no nos gusta lo que vemos. Es tiempo de nuestra propia reacción .» Nuria Varela
