Camel Crazy: A Quest for Miracles in the Mysterious World of Camels
by Christina AdamsIn this page-turning odyssey, a mother on a mission travels the globe — from Bedouin camps in the Middle East to Amish farms in Pennsylvania to camel-herder villages in India — to obtain camel milk, which dramatically helps her son’s autism symptoms. Chronicling bureaucratic roadblocks, adventure-filled detours, and Christina Adams’s love-fueled determination, Camel Crazy explores why camels are cherished as family members and hailed as healers. Adams’s work uncovers studies of camel milk for possible treatment of autism, allergies, diabetes, and immune dysfunction, as well as ancient traditions of healing. But the most fascinating aspect of Adams’s discoveries is the gentle-eyed, mischievous camels themselves. Huge and often unpredictable, they are amazingly intelligent and adaptable. This moving and rollicking ode to “camel people” and the creatures they adore reveals the ways camels touch lives around the world. Includes users’ and buyers’ guides to camel’s milk

Caminar: Las ventajas de descubrir el mundo a pie
by Erling KaggeTras el éxito internacional El silencio en la era del ruido, Erling Kagge nos deleita con un libro sobre el placer de caminar. Libros que respiran y te hacen respirar. «Casi todos los problemas parecen distintos después de un paseo.» Al caminar, con o sin rumbo, nuestro cuerpo viaja a la velocidad de nuestra mente. Solo cuando damos un paso tras otro podemos descubrir la tierra que pisamos, y a nosotros mismos. La capacidad de andar erguidos nos convirtió en lo que somos, y al dejar de caminar abandonamos también nuestra esencia, nos convertimos en otra cosa. Este libro, una agradable caminata en excelente compañía, nos recuerda la alegría de las caminatas, breves o largas, y nos convence de que quien va a pie llega más lejos y vive mejor. En el camino, nuestros pasos se cruzan con figuras como Machado, Heidegger, Thoreau, Neruda o Steve Jobs. Erling Kagge, el autor que nos enseñó a encontrar el silencio en este estruendoso mundo, vuelve con un evocador libro sobre el placer y el equilibrio que se pueden encontrar en tan simple actividad. La crítica ha dicho...«Erling Kagge es un aventurero filosófico, o quizás un filósofo aventurero.»The New York Times «¿Quién mejor que un avezado explorador para hablarnos del silencio? El silencio está en todos lados. Basta con reconocerlo y saborearlo. Toda una filosofía de vida. Y también una nueva forma de lujo que ya tiene numerosos adeptos.»Le Figaro Magazine (sobre El silencio) «Una valiosa guía en la que Kagge da cuenta de los inestimables beneficios de encontrar la quietud. Para él, desconectar no significa alejarse del mundo. Al contrario: se trata de disfrutar más intensamente de la vida y de la compañía.»L'Express (sobre El silencio)

Neira explica, entre otros temas, cómo nuestros hábitos alimenticios han gatillado o acentuado patologías. Y, desde un análisis científico, pero también espiritual y filosófico, propaga el autocuidado y la noción de amor a sí mismo para trabajar la felicidad y la ecuanimidad: en otras palabras, ayuda a detectar las costumbres -conscientes o inconscientes- que dañan nuestra salud física y mental para así establecer un cambio progresivo y definitivo.
