Описание: Fiction. THE FABRICATIONS is a wildly inventive, comic novel centered on a bizarre idea: what if someones fictional story about your life started to come true? When Oscar Babel, a cinema projectionist languishing in obscurity, is befriended by Daniel Bloch, a popular novelist, strange things begin to happen when Bloch starts to write about Oscar. Oscars life changes course as he becomes a 21st century messiah. At the same time Blochs life descends into the darkness (and madness) that his friend narrowly escaped. Feeding in and out of this central spine are other stories: Blochs reconciliation with his father, who was seduced by Blochs ex-wife Natalie; the career of the brilliant but unsuccessful painter Najette, Oscars muse and lover; and ever more insane instances of PR stunts, as master- minded by the demonic publicist Ryan Rees. Eventually Oscars fame and myth balloon out of all proportion and the novel draws to an unforgettable climax.

Never more prescient than in our post-fact world--in which reality TV show figures who never read books but watch endless hours of television hold the highest political offices in the land, THE FABRICATIONS satire is spot on...a tour de force of the literary imagination...Its a wondrous novel both cleverly satirical of our spectacle-based society and philosophically profound, a rare accomplishment.--Lee Foust

Описание: La leche es el alimento m s consumido mundialmente. Es parte integral de la gastronom a de casi todos los pa ses de Occidente. Sin embargo, la data m dica actual est repleta de estudios cient ficos que incriminan a la leche en condiciones negativas de salud que han causado una silenciosa alarma en la comunidad m dica. En la "Leche, veneno seductor" el Dr. Miguel A. Baret Daniel nos entrega un documento cient fico--aunque de lectura gil y entretenida--que desafiar todo cuanto Ud. ha cre do hasta hoy, no s lo sobre la leche de vaca, pero tambi n sobre conceptos tradicionales acerca de la nutrici n humana. El cuerpo humano est dise ado para regenerarse interna y externamente. Y es a esa regeneraci n a lo que la ciencia m dica le llama "curaci n." Lo curioso es que la leche est inundada por factores qu micos intr nsecos a la vaca que fomentan la degeneraci n de nuestro metabolismo y nuestra fisiolog a en general.

Описание: The year was 1765. Eminent botanist Philibert Commerson had just been appointed to a grand new expedition: the first French circumnavigation of the world. As the ships' official naturalist, Commerson would seek out resources--medicines, spices, timber, food--that could give the French an edge in the ever-accelerating race for empire.

Jeanne Baret, Commerson's young mistress and collaborator, was desperate not to be left behind. She disguised herself as a teenage boy and signed on as his assistant. The journey made the twenty-six-year-old, known to her shipmates as "Jean" rather than "Jeanne," the first woman to ever sail around the globe. Yet so little is known about this extraordinary woman, whose accomplishments were considered to be subversive, even impossible for someone of her sex and class.

When the ships made landfall and the secret lovers disembarked to explore, Baret carried heavy wooden field presses and bulky optical instruments over beaches and hills, impressing observers on the ships' decks with her obvious strength and stamina. Less obvious were the strips of linen wound tight around her upper body and the months she had spent perfecting her masculine disguise in the streets and marketplaces of Paris.

Expedition commander Louis-Antoine de Bougainville recorded in his journal that curious Tahitian natives exposed Baret as a woman, eighteen months into the voyage. But the true story, it turns out, is more complicated.

In The Discovery of Jeanne Baret, Glynis Ridley unravels the conflicting accounts recorded by Baret's crewmates to piece together the real story: how Baret's identity was in fact widely suspected within just a couple of weeks of embarking, and the painful consequences of those suspicions; the newly discovered notebook, written in Baret's own hand, that proves her scientific acumen; and the thousands of specimens she collected, most famously the showy vine bougainvillea.

Ridley also richly explores Baret's awkward, sometimes dangerous interactions with the men on the ship, including Baret's lover, the obsessive and sometimes prickly naturalist; a fashion-plate prince who, with his elaborate wigs and velvet garments, was often mistaken for a woman himself; the sour ship's surgeon, who despised Baret and Commerson; even a Tahitian islander who joined the expedition and asked Baret to show him how to behave like a Frenchman.

But the central character of this true story is Jeanne Baret herself, a working-class woman whose scientific contributions were quietly dismissed and written out of history--until now. Anchored in impeccable original research and bursting with unforgettable characters and exotic settings, The Discovery of Jeanne Baret offers this forgotten heroine a chance to bloom at long last.

Описание: Encountering life through the light of Kashmiri Tantra: Shaped and sustained by the nondual tradition of Kashmir Shivaism, Eric Baret's words take us back to the simple observation of our felt sense of emotion and ultimately, to pure listening. This allows a liberating realization: the root of suffering is an illusion, and all claims to knowledge are a pretense. The dialogues recorded in this book are an invitation to celebrate life in the present moment, free from the fear of an imaginary future.
