Optimal Illusions: The False Promise of Optimization
by Coco KrummeHow optimization took over the world and the urgent case for a new approach Optimization is the driving principle of our modern world. We now can manufacture, transport, and organize things more cheaply and faster than ever. Optimized models underlie everything from airline schedules to dating site matches. We strive for efficiency in our daily lives, obsessed with productivity and optimal performance. How did a mathematical concept take on such outsize cultural shape? And what is lost when efficiency is gained?Optimal Illusions traces the fascinating history of optimization from its roots in America&’s founding principles to its modern manifestations, found in colorful stories of oil tycoons, wildlife ecologists, Silicon Valley technologists, lifestyle gurus, sugar beet farmers, and poker players. Optimization is now deeply embedded in the technologies and assumptions that have come to comprise not only our material reality but what we make of it.Coco Krumme&’s work in mathematical modeling has made her acutely aware of optimization&’s overreach. Streamlined systems are less resilient and more at risk of failure. They limit our options and narrow our perspectives. The malaise of living in an optimized society can feel profoundly inhumane. Optimal Illusions exposes the sizable bargains we have made in the name of optimization and asks us to consider what comes next.

Antiguas Deidades y Espíritus Eslavos. Terapia artística
by Elena Kryuchkova Olga KryuchkovaEn los tiempos antiguos, los eslavos adoraban a las fuerzas de la naturaleza, deificando al sol, al agua, a la lluvia, a la luna y a otros fenómenos naturales. Los eslavos creían que su vida estaba sujeta a la voluntad de seres superiores, deidades. De acuerdo con sus creencias, las deidades vivían en el Mundo de Prav (El cielo), las personas vivían en Mundo de Yav (La Tierra), y las almas de los fallecidos vivían en el Mundo de Nav (El Inframundo). Las personas le rezaban a las deidades por ayuda, le llevaban obsequios a sus santuarios, hacían sacrificios. Los nombres de muchas deidades eslavas han sobrevivido hasta nuestros días. No obstante, no todas sus funciones están claras. Muchas veces, una deidad puede patrocinar cosas completamente opuestas. Existían muchas tribus eslavas, y, por lo tanto, muchas deidades. Con el tiempo, los nombres de un cierto número de deidades fueron olvidados y muchas deidades combinaron las funciones de varios de sus predecesores. Por ejemplo, se cree que Veles es un dios del ganado y al mismo tiempo, patroniza a los narradores y a los comerciantes. Probablemente, él combinó las funciones de algunos dioses olvidados. Los espíritus jugaron un rol importante en la vida de los antiguos eslavos. Ellos vivían en todas partes: en un campo, en una casa, en una casa de baño, en un granero, en un bosque, en un río, en un lago. Las personas también los adoraban, no enojándolos, sino tratando de conseguir su favor. La terapia artística es una serie de imágenes de las deidades y espíritus eslavos con una breve descripción de sus funciones. Usted podrá dedicar su tiempo a la creatividad, la meditación, a poner sus pensamientos y sentimientos en orden, y a distraerse de los problemas de todos los días. El libro es apto para una amplia gama de lectores.
