Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us
by Jesse Bering"As a sex writer, Jesse Bering is fearless—and peerless." —Dan Savage <P><P>"You are a sexual deviant. A pervert, through and through." We may not want to admit it, but as the award-winning columnist and psychologist Jesse Bering reveals in Perv, there is a spectrum of perversion along which we all sit. Whether it's voyeurism, exhibitionism, or your run-of-the-mill foot fetish, we all possess a suite of sexual tastes as unique as our fingerprints—and as secret as the rest of the skeletons we've hidden in our closets. <P><P>Combining cutting-edge studies and critiques of landmark research and conclusions drawn by Sigmund Freud, Alfred Kinsey, and the DSM-5, Bering pulls the curtain back on paraphilias, arguing that sexual deviance is commonplace. He explores the countless fetishists of the world, including people who wear a respectable suit during the day and handcuff a willing sexual partner at night. But he also takes us into the lives of "erotic outliers," such as a woman who falls madly in love with the Eiffel Tower; a pair of deeply affectionate identical twins; those with a particular penchant for statues; and others who are enamored of crevices not found on the human body. <P><P>Moving from science to politics, psychology, history, and his own reflections on growing up gay in America, Bering confronts hypocrisy, prejudice, and harm as they relate to sexuality on a global scale. Humanizing so-called deviants while at the same time asking serious questions about the differences between thought and action, he presents us with a challenge: to understand that our best hope of solving some of the most troubling problems of our age hinges entirely on the amoral study of sex. <P><P>As kinky as it is compassionate, illuminating, and engrossing, Perv is an irresistible and deeply personal book. "I can't promise you an orgasm at the end of our adventure," Bering writes, "but I can promise you a better understanding of why you get the ones you do."

Pese lo que pese: Contra la hegemonía del cuerpo ideal
by Jesica Lavia Paula GiménezDesde una mirada feminista, Jesica Lavia, nutricionista, y Paula Giménez, periodista especializada en género, reflexionan sobre cómo el culto al "cuerpo ideal" y la obsesión por el peso despliegan dietas "milagrosas" e instalaron una "dictadura de la belleza" de la cual parece difícil escapar y cuyas víctimas principales y más visibles son las mujeres. «Queremos -dicen las autoras- que todas las feminidades podamos habitarnos un poco más amorosamente. Les hablamos a las gordas, las gorditas, las rellenitas, las flacas, las escuálidas, las petisas, las altas, las culonas, las caderonas, las tetonas y las chatas. A todas ellas y a nosotras mismas».
El peso de la sangre: Viaje personal al SIDA
by Juan Luis Salinas ToledoJuan Luis Salinas narra en primera persona el pasado, presente y futuro del Sida En febrero de 2003 el autor de este libro fue internado de urgencia. El diagnóstico de VIH, que dos años antes se había negado a asumir, ahora se manifestaba en una infección que consumía sus pulmones y que lo mantuvo en la UTI durante semanas. A partir de este hecho, Juan Luis Salinas narra en este libro sobrecogedor la historia del Sida, y lo hace a partir de su propia experiencia como persona VIH, reconstruyendo el nacimiento y viaje del virus en distintas partes del mundo, pasando por San Francisco, Kinshasa, Nueva York y Barcelona. Sin embargo, el centro de este relato se encuentra en Santiago y en los primeros portadores de la enfermedad, en las políticas sanitarias de los ochenta y noventa, en el activismo de asociaciones chilenas en la lucha contra el Sida para, finalmente, referirse al presente y futuro del virus.

Pet Food Politics: The Chihuahua in the Coal Mine
by Marion NestleMarion Nestle, acclaimed author of Food Politics, now tells the gripping story of how, in early 2007, a few telephone calls about sick cats set off the largest recall of consumer products in U.S. history and an international crisis over the safety of imported goods ranging from food to toothpaste, tires, and toys. Nestle follows the trail of tainted pet food ingredients back to their source in China and along the supply chain to their introduction into feed for pigs, chickens, and fish in the United States, Canada, and other countries throughout the world. What begins as a problem "merely" for cats and dogs soon becomes an issue of tremendous concern to everyone. Nestle uncovers unexpected connections among the food supplies for pets, farm animals, and people and identifies glaring gaps in the global oversight of food safety.

The Petite Advantage Diet
by Jim KarasThey make clothes for "Petites" so why not a specialized diet plan? You're smaller, you're more delicate, you're 5'4" or under, yet you're expected to follow a diet plan for the taller girls. What's wrong with that? "A lot," says Jim Karas, author of the number one New York Times bestseller The Business Plan for the Body. For over twenty years, Karas has helped the Petites. He makes them longer (without the rack). He makes them leaner (without starving) and he makes them feel more confident and sexier than they have ever felt before. Why? Because he knows how to get results specifically for you . . . a "Petite". . . and get them fast. "I understand you," says Karas. "I know you are watching your taller friends and colleagues eat more than you do but stay slim." Fact: you do have to eat less, because a Petite needs only about 1,600 calories a day (compared to 2,500 calories for a taller woman) and is therefore naturally more prone to gain weight. But you are looking at the glass only as half empty. Thee glass, according to Karas, is really half full. Being a Petite has huge advantages such as: You can work out more effectively than a taller woman because your muscle-to-height ratio is greater; translation-better opportunity to boost your metabolism Your center of gravity is lower, and therefore you are less likely to injure yourself when you're working out, and You can create that sexy hour-glass figure that taller women can't achieve. Think Penelope Cruz (5'4") and Dolly Parton (5'0"). Both are gorgeous members of "The Petites," whose bodies rock. Karas has worked with women of all heights and sizes for more than twenty years, and has perfected strategies that bring effective and lasting fat loss for Petites. Based on solid, recent research, coupled with his passion for creating concrete solutions, Karas has crafted a program specially designed to help you create a longer, leaner, sexier body. Petites, you're gonna love it!

The Petroglyphs of Mu: Pohnpei, Nan Madol, and the Legacy of Lemuria
by Carole Nervig• Shows how the archetypal symbols of the Pohnpaid petroglyphs have exact counterparts in other ancient cultures throughout the world • Provides evidence that Pohnpaid is closely related to--yet predates--neighboring Nan Madol • Includes hundreds of Pohnpaid petroglyphs and stone circle photos, many never before seen While residing on the small Pacific island of Pohnpei in the 1990s, Carole Nervig discovered that a recent brush fire had exposed hundreds of previously unknown petroglyphs carved on gigantic boulders. This portion of the megalithic site called Pohnpaid was unknown even to Pohnpei&’s state historic preservation officer. The petroglyphs were unlike others from Oceania, so Nervig began investigating and comparing them with petroglyphs and symbols from around the world.In this fully illustrated exploration, Nervig documents her discoveries on Pohnpei, revealing how the archetypal symbols of the Pohnpaid petroglyphs have exact counterparts in other ancient cultures and universal motifs throughout the world, including the Australian Aborigines, the Inca in Peru, the Vedic civilization of India, early Norse runes, and Japanese symbols. She provides evidence that Pohnpaid is closely related to--yet predates--neighboring Nan Madol and shows how Pohnpaid was an outpost of the sunken Kahnihmueiso, a city of the now-vanished civilization of Mu, or Lemuria.Discussing the archaeoastronomical function of the Pohnpaid stones, the author examines how many of the glyphs symbolize celestial phenomena and clearly reveal how their creators were sky watchers with a sophisticated understanding of astronomy, geophysics, geomancy, and engineering. She shows how the scientific concepts depicted in the petroglyphs reveal how the citizens of Mu had a much deeper understanding of the living Earth than we do, which gave them the ability to manipulate natural forces both physically and energetically. Combining archaeological evidence with traditional oral accounts, Nervig reveals Pohnpaid not only as a part of a geodetic network of ancient sacred sites and portals but also as a remnant of the now submerged but once enlightened Motherland of Mu.

Peyote Dreams: Journeys in the Land of Illumination
by Charles DuitsA detailed account of the transformation of consciousness and discovery of life’s purpose brought on by peyote • Shows how peyote and other visionary plants do not distort reality but gloriously unveil it, pulling the mind out of its cosmic slumber and revealing our unity with all life • Explains the necessity when working with peyote to remain the master of one’s mind and consciously work on oneself • Examines how modern society’s revulsion to sacramental plants and other consciousness expanders is deeply rooted in Western philosophy Charles Duits was caught in the grip of a dead-end existential and spiritual crisis. At the urging of one of his oldest friends, he takes peyote “like a man committing suicide,” launching him on a visionary journey of philosophical examination and spiritual revelation. In this little-known classic of drug literature, we find a detailed account of the radical alteration of consciousness and discovery of life’s purpose brought on by the Mexican cactus known as peyote. Consuming peyote more than 200 times, Duits lucidly describes the transformation of reality he experienced as well as the necessity to consciously work on oneself and remain the master of one’s mind in order to avoid getting carried away by hallucinations. The author examines how modern society’s revulsion to sacramental plants and other consciousness expanders is deeply rooted in Western philosophy’s embrace of reason and materialism at the expense of inner knowledge. He explains how sacramental plants do not distort reality as many fearfully believe but gloriously unveil it, pulling the mind out of its cosmic slumber and revealing a world that is finally real and full of meaning. Poetic yet precise, Duits’s descriptions of his peyote experiences offer a glimpse in to the beautiful divine reality of which we are all a part, yet over which the structures of society cast a veil. This guide to “sailing the inner sea” reveals that the answers to the meaning of life lie not in material pursuits but in experiencing the richness and unity of the world in front of us.

Peyton is the hero of this food lover's tale and she is determined to confront her fear of new foods by finding a Thanksgiving pie she truly likes, even if it's flaky, lumpy, or chunky.
El pez que sabía escalar: Ensayos sobre tecnología y nuevos medios en la narrativa de ser humanos
by Salvador BancheroSalvador Banchero Monge nos presenta su nuevo libro un desafío a la reflexión y al pensamiento. Una colección de mini ensayos sobre la relación del hombre y los medios, cómo los consumimos y la pregunta más importante de todas ¿el hombre determina los contenidos o los contenidos nos están determinando? Salvador encara esta obra con inquieta curiosidad, claros fundamentos y gran valentía en las preguntas que guían al lector por situaciones y desafíos de estos tiempos, que además son propias de un filósofo contemporáneo. En una época de tantas afirmaciones y máximas no solicitadas, de abundancia de información y escasa reflexión, en la que la tecnología nos hace tanto más libres como más condicionados, este libro nos hace pensar, reflexionar y cuestionar. Interrogantes que son llaves a laberintos, reflexiones como pistas y quien lee, artífice de las conclusiones. Eduardo Mangarelli, ex Principal Software Engineer Lead de Microsoft y decano de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad ORT Uruguay Partiendo de la observación de las nuevas tecnologías y su impacto sobre nuestras costumbres y comportamientos, Salvador se propone una serie de reflexiones que, indefectiblemente, lo llevan a las preguntas más antiguas de la filosofía. Personal y expansivo, El pez que sabía escalar nos transporta a un lugar reflexivo, como una larga conversación con un viejo amigo, ya bien entrada la noche, bordeando el mar del Plata. Luisa Pereira Hors, música, ingeniera, diseñadora y docente del Interactive Telecommunications Program de la New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts Salvador disloca las columnas de «Nuevos medios, viejas preguntas» de la lógica del scroll, para fijarlas en las porosas páginas de un libro. Estamos ante algo más que una mera mudanza: perdimos GIF para ganar en extensión y hondura, con observaciones y preguntas precisas relacionadas con el impacto que tiene la tecnología en la vida diaria de cada uno de nosotros. Que exista El pez que sabía escalar aplaca mi ansiedad. Ahora podré leer ensayos seriados, como «Días del pasado futuro», de un tirón, sin tener que preocuparme por cuánta batería me queda. Miguel Ángel Dobrich, director de Dobcast y de Amenaza Roboto
