Bienestar emocional: Superar el miedo, el odio y los celos con la energía creativa
by Osho¡Descubre las claves para entender la naturaleza de nuestras emociones! Bienestar emocional es una guía, única y estimulante, para vivir una vida más rica, más plena y más de acuerdo con nuestras emociones. Las emociones, los pensamientos y las expresiones de ambos son la misma energía, solo que están dirigidos hacia la periferia, hacia la circunferencia y no hacia el centro. Cuanto más cerca estás de la circunferencia, más lejos te encuentras de ti mismo. Para reencontrarte tienes que usar la misma energía. Por ello, la única meta en el mundo de todo ser inteligente debería ser conocerse a sí mismo; de lo contrario, podrías conocer el mundo entero y aun así seguirías desconociendo lo que más íntimamente te afecta, tu propia naturaleza. Tú eliges.

Bienvenida a casa
by Lucia Berlin«Siempre estoy buscando... deseando sentirme en casa.» La recopilación definitiva de los textos autobiográfico jamás publicados de Lucia Berlin. Pese a la calidad abrumadora de su escritura, tuvo que llegar Manual para mujeres de la limpieza para que Lucia Berlin se convirtiera en una estrella literaria sin igual. Sus historias están pobladas de personajes, entornos y emociones de la propia vida de la autora, una vida llena de precariedad y cambios de rumbo. Bienvenida a casa es una recopilación de textos autobiográficos en la que Berlin estaba trabajando antes de su muerte y que muestra, con la intimidad de una confidencia, los espacios más personales de la vida de una misteriosa autora que ya ha alcanzado el estatus de leyenda. El volumen lo completan cartas y fotografías que hacen que este sea el objeto perfecto para conocer de primera mano a Lucia Berlin como escritora y, también, como ser humano. La crítica ha dicho...«Unos retazos de vida que nos desvelan a la mujer que hay tras la leyenda. Un libro lleno de fuerza.»Elena Méndez, La Voz de Galicia «La literatura de Lucia Berlin está impregnada de belleza y dolor, de honestidad y melanconiosa familiaridad. Consigue narrar las rutinas de la vida y los fulgores de la oscuridad como pocos. [...] Con este libro tenemos la oportunidad de sumergirnos en su mundo una vez más. [...] Gracias por existir.»Eric Gras, El Periódico Mediterráneo «El lado íntimo de la escritora: una Lucia Berlin luminosa, entregada al amor, frágil y optimista. [...] A pesar de haber permanecido más o menos escondida, leerla produce una extraña sensación de familiaridad.»Aloma Rodríguez, Diari de Tarragona «Carisma y talento. [...] Paisajes que pisaron sus pies y, en todos ellos, esa capacidad tan suya, nada fácil de encontrar en prosa, de sacar destellos de luz de las tinieblas. Incluso de la tristeza más densa o de los escenarios más amargos. [...] Nos vamos a quedar con ganas de más Lucia.»Núria Escur, La Vanguardia «Estos textos permiten descubrir, por un lado, una vida repleta de sinsabores, y por el otro, la persistencia de una mujer que intenta escribir a pesar de todo y que encuentra en su experiencia más cercana la fuente de sus relatos.»Diego Gángara, La Razón «Esta recopilación de textos autobiográficos cae como un auténtico y delicioso maná.»Andrés Rubín de Celis, La Vanguardia - Fashion & Arts Magazine «Los recuerdos más extensos que encontramos en Bienvenida a casa encantan e iluminan [...]. Sus viñetas de la infancia, en particular, poseen viveza de las revistas antiguas [...]. Leer Bienvenida a casa tras Una noche en paraíso y Manual para mujeres de la limpieza es experimentar a Berlin como en una galería de espejos.»Patricia Lockwood, London Review of Books «Encontramos un placer delicioso en seguir las huellas reales de las ficciones de Berlin.»Los Angeles Times «Un relato iluminador de la escritora [...], de las personas y los lugares que la formaron. Berlin escribe con honestidad sobre sus placeres y sus dificultades, y deja al lector con ganas de más.»The Economist«Mucho antes de la actual locura por la autoficción, Lucia Berlin ya estaba centrifugando su día a día para convertirlo en una prosa desnuda y dolorosa de brutal autenticidad. [...] Este nuevo volumen es una suerte de retrato en forma de puzle de esta leyenda literaria que sufrió un largo olvido y deja a la vista su material autobiográfico, que con tanta potencia se filtraba en sus relatos de ficción. Resulta que el misterio de su obra no es de dónde sacaba la inspiración, sino cómo lograba transformar su vida en una expresión

Bienville Parish (Images of America)
by Benjamin Brad DisonBienville Parish, founded in 1848, is located in central north Louisiana. While perhaps most well-known for its ties to outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, Bienville Parish has a rich timber and railroad history that has shaped the community for over a century. Settlers moved into the region to take advantage of its flourishing industry, but it was community that led people to put down roots in the area. Religion and education formed the basis of everyday life in the rural region. In this photographic history, Bienville Parish is depicted through the lives of the people who inhabited the area. Although its size has decreased in recent years, the people who still reside in the parish have made it a priority to preserve the memories for future generations.

Bifurcation Analysis of Fluid Flows
by Henk A. Dijkstra Fred W. WubsA better understanding of the mechanisms leading a fluid system to exhibit turbulent behavior is one of the grand challenges of the physical and mathematical sciences. Over the last few decades, numerical bifurcation methods have been extended and applied to a number of flow problems to identify critical conditions for fluid instabilities to occur. This book provides a state-of-the-art account of these numerical methods, with much attention to modern linear systems solvers and generalized eigenvalue solvers. These methods also have a broad applicability in industrial, environmental and astrophysical flows. The book is a must-have reference for anyone working in scientific fields where fluid flow instabilities play a role. Exercises at the end of each chapter and Python code for the bifurcation analysis of canonical fluid flow problems provide practice material to get to grips with the methods and concepts presented in the book.

Bifurcation Theory for Hexagonal Agglomeration in Economic Geography
by Kiyohiro Ikeda Kazuo MurotaThis book contributes to an understanding of how bifurcation theory adapts to the analysis of economic geography. It is easily accessible not only to mathematicians and economists, but also to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in nonlinear mathematics. The self-organization of hexagonal agglomeration patterns of industrial regions was first predicted by the central place theory in economic geography based on investigations of southern Germany. The emergence of hexagonal agglomeration in economic geography models was envisaged by Krugman. In this book, after a brief introduction of central place theory and new economic geography, the missing link between them is discovered by elucidating the mechanism of the evolution of bifurcating hexagonal patterns. Pattern formation by such bifurcation is a well-studied topic in nonlinear mathematics, and group-theoretic bifurcation analysis is a well-developed theoretical tool. A finite hexagonal lattice is used to express uniformly distributed places, and the symmetry of this lattice is expressed by a finite group. Several mathematical methodologies indispensable for tackling the present problem are gathered in a self-contained manner. The existence of hexagonal distributions is verified by group-theoretic bifurcation analysis, first by applying the so-called equivariant branching lemma and next by solving the bifurcation equation. This book offers a complete guide for the application of group-theoretic bifurcation analysis to economic agglomeration on the hexagonal lattice.
Bifurcation Theory of Functional Differential Equations (Applied Mathematical Sciences #184)
by Jianhong Wu Shangjiang GuoThis book provides a crash course on various methods from the bifurcation theory of Functional Differential Equations (FDEs). FDEs arise very naturally in economics, life sciences and engineering and the study of FDEs has been a major source of inspiration for advancement in nonlinear analysis and infinite dimensional dynamical systems. The book summarizes some practical and general approaches and frameworks for the investigation of bifurcation phenomena of FDEs depending on parameters with chap. This well illustrated book aims to be self contained so the readers will find in this book all relevant materials in bifurcation, dynamical systems with symmetry, functional differential equations, normal forms and center manifold reduction. This material was used in graduate courses on functional differential equations at Hunan University (China) and York University (Canada).
Bifurcation Theory of Impulsive Dynamical Systems (IFSR International Series in Systems Science and Systems Engineering #34)
by Xinzhi Liu Kevin E.M. ChurchThis monograph presents the most recent progress in bifurcation theory of impulsive dynamical systems with time delays and other functional dependence. It covers not only smooth local bifurcations, but also some non-smooth bifurcation phenomena that are unique to impulsive dynamical systems. The monograph is split into four distinct parts, independently addressing both finite and infinite-dimensional dynamical systems before discussing their applications. The primary contributions are a rigorous nonautonomous dynamical systems framework and analysis of nonlinear systems, stability, and invariant manifold theory. Special attention is paid to the centre manifold and associated reduction principle, as these are essential to the local bifurcation theory. Specifying to periodic systems, the Floquet theory is extended to impulsive functional differential equations, and this permits an exploration of the impulsive analogues of saddle-node, transcritical, pitchfork and Hopf bifurcations.Readers will learn how techniques of classical bifurcation theory extend to impulsive functional differential equations and, as a special case, impulsive differential equations without delays. They will learn about stability for fixed points, periodic orbits and complete bounded trajectories, and how the linearization of the dynamical system allows for a suitable definition of hyperbolicity. They will see how to complete a centre manifold reduction and analyze a bifurcation at a nonhyperbolic steady state.
