For must of us, suffering is by far the most common process.

Odisha and Sports: A Story of Hope and Glory
by Boria Majumdar Vineel Krishna RavellaFor decades, Odisha was considered as one of India&’s most backward states. But under the leadership of Naveen Patnaik, it has made huge strides in every sphere, from human-development indices and disaster management to becoming the role model for India&’s future sporting programme. This book, co-authored by Boria Majumdar, one of India&’s best known sports scholars and commentators, and Vineel Krishna, Secretary Sports for the Government of Odisha, is an attempt to make sense of that transformation, especially in the sporting space. It is a tale of what can happen when a wealth of untapped talent is harnessed by proper administration and planning, and the creation of state-of-the-art infrastructure. It is the story of how a state stepped in at the last minute to stage a major event, and how its success turned into a springboard for future endeavours. It documents the sea change that has been witnessed in the past half-decade, with the creation of world-class stadia, high-performance centres and hostels to house the most talented kids from the relatively under-developed regions of the state. It&’s also testament to the resilience and determination of the athletes, many of whom have overcome colossal odds to shine on the world stage. Most of all though, it&’s a story of hope – of what can happen when a government prioritises its people and recognises the power of sport to bring about lasting and positive social change.

by Dr. Eduard Estivill Carla EstivillCronobiología para ser feliz. Adapta tus rutinas para una vida más sana. Hace miles de años el ser humano estaba conectado de forma armónica con los ciclos naturales de la vida. Ese vínculo con los ritmos de la naturaleza procuraba a nuestros antepasados salud, energía y bienestar emocional. En la actualidad también vivimos pendientes del tiempo, pero nos hemos desconectado de su cadencia original y ya no prestamos atención a nuestros relojes internos responsables del apetito, del sueño, de la energía o de la fatiga que sentimos a lo largo del día, lo que se traduce en problemas cardiovasculares, enfermedades metabólicas como la diabetes o la obesidad, trastornos psíquicos y, en los casos más graves, una mayor incidencia de ciertos tipos de cáncer. Basado en la cronobiología, este método desarrollado por los doctores Eduard y Carla Estivill es un entrenamiento en toda regla para aprender a escuchar a nuestro cuerpo y reconectar con sus ritmos. Gracias a sus consejos sencillos y prácticos, al alcance de todo el mundo, lograremos sincronizar nuestro tokei o reloj interior para gozar de una vida plena de optimismo y salud.
Afrodita
by Isabel AllendeLa devastadora experiencia que fue velar a su hija Paula, en coma coma a lo largo de casi un año, llevó a Isabel Allende a encerrarse en sí misma, a solas con el dolor.

Entonces comprendió que había terminado el duelo. Tomando como enseña el apetito y el sexo ("ambos preservan y propagan las especie, provocan los cantos y las guerras"), este libro es una desenfadada recopilación de consejos para retener a un amante y una oda muy personal a la sensualidad.
