En este libro, Clarissa Pinkola Estés revela ricos mitos interculturales, cuentos de hadas e historias (muchas de ellas relativas a su propia familia) para contribuir a que las mujeres recuperen su fuerza y su salud, atributos visionarios de esta esencia instintiva. Mediante los relatos y los comentarios de la autora, examinamos el amor y comprendemos a la Mujer Salvaje . Estés ha creado una psicología femenina en un sentido más verdadero, el que lleva al conocimiento del alma. Reseña: «Una celebración del alma femenina.» The Washington Post

Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives inhabiting the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia.From her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin, Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. She is caught off-guard by a young hunter who invades her most private spaces and confounds her self-assured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's wife, finds herself unexpectedly marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land that has become her own. And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly feuding neighbors tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the possibilities of a future neither of them expected.Over the course of one humid summer, these characters find their connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with whom they share a place. Prodigal Summer demonstrates a balance of narrative, drama and ideas that is characteristic of Barbara Kingsolver's finest work.

VINIMOS NUEVE A LA TIERRA. Tenemos el mismo aspecto que vosotros. Hablamos igual que vosotros. Vivimos entre vosotros. Pero no somos como vosotros. Podemos hacer cosas que sólo podéis imaginar. Tenemos poderes con los que sólo podéis soñar. Somos más fuertes y rápidos. Somos los superhéroes a los que admiráis en las películas y los cómics... pero nosotros existimos de verdad. Nuestro plan era crecer y fortalecernos para enfrentarnos unidos a ellos. Pero ellos nos encontraron antes y empezaron a cazarnos. Ahora, todos vivimos huyendo, entre las sombras, en lugares donde nadie nos buscaría, mimetizándonos. Hemos vivido entre vosotros sin que lo supierais.

In the late 1980s, for reasons even she has difficulty pinpointing, fourteen-year-old Lee Fiora leaves her middle-class, close-knit, ribald family in Indiana and enrolls at Ault, an elite co-ed boarding school in Massachusetts. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of, and ultimately a participant in, their rituals and mores, although, as a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider. By the time she's a senior, Lee has found her place at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her hard-won identity within the community is shattered. Lee's experiences, complicated relationships with teachers, intense and sometimes rancorous friendships with other girls, an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush, are both a psychologically astute portrait of one girl's coming-of-age and an embodiment of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

Winner of the 2002 BMA Popular Medicine Book Prize, this haunting literary and scientific examination delves into Alzheimer’s disease and the quest for a cure. Described as a remarkable and definitive work on the subject, it is incisive, humane, and infused with dry humor, all presented with quiet authority. The author, drawing from personal experience in caring for an Alzheimer’s patient, offers profound insights into the disease's stages, prognosis, and impact on memory and identity. Alois Alzheimer’s groundbreaking discovery in 1906 linked specific brain pathology to behavioral changes, marking the beginning of our understanding of this debilitating condition. While rare in younger individuals, it affects 10% of those aged 65 and older, escalating to 50% among those 85 and above. As the baby boomer generation ages, the number of Alzheimer’s cases is projected to quadruple, making it the fastest-growing disease in developed nations. The foreword highlights how this work challenges our perceptions of caregiving and independence, reminding us that life encompasses more than mere health and youth. The author’s poignant and scientific history of Alzheimer’s is anchored in the belief that memory is fundamental to our identity and the essence of our lives.
