Los Ángeles del destino humano
by Lucy AspraEn este libro, Lucy Aspra explica la labor que realizan los Ángeles. De Lucy Aspra, experta en temas de ángeles y seres espirituales. El trabajo de los Ángeles es mucho más extenso que lo que describen algunos textos antiguos. No están limitados sólo a ciertos aspectos místicos, ni confinados únicamente a llevar a cabo las ceremonias religiosas, pues todo lo que el ojo humano alcanza a percibir, y que es noble, bueno y altruista, procede de la labor que realizan. Los Ángeles están en todo aquello que nos encamina a elevar nuestro estado de conciencia, y los seres humanos, sin notarlo, los estudian diariamente, porque son estos celestiales seres los que conducen las energías que producen crecimiento, son ellos los que traen las tendencias positivas y los que inspiran los descubrimientos necesarios para que la humanidad pueda dar un paso más hacia el futuro. El trabajo de los Ángeles es científico. Aquí conocerá cómo trabajan los Ángeles a la hora del nacimiento, cómo realizan su trabajo los que laboran en la composición de las formas que se manifiestan en todos los reinos de la naturaleza, en qué momento entra el Espíritu en el bebé que se forma en el vientre materno, cómo preparan los Ángeles las situaciones en la vida de cada persona antes de su nacimiento. Explica por qué la familia en la que nacemos, las oportunidades de las que disponemos, los talentos que traemos, las tendencias que podemos encauzar, controlar o mejorar. Experimentos mediante partículas de agua que manifiestan nuestra conciencia han arrojado pruebas del poder del sonido, de la meditación, de la oración, etcétera. Cómo influye en nuestra vida cada palabra que emitimos y cada sonido que escuchamos.

Young Children in Humanitarian and COVID-19 Crises: Innovations and Lessons from the Global South (Routledge Humanitarian Studies)
by Sweta Shah Lucy BassettThe long-term consequences of COVID-19 have been tough for children around the world, but even more so for young children already in humanitarian crisis, whether due to conflict, natural disasters, or economic and political upheaval. This book investigates how organizations around the world responded to these dual challenges, identifying solutions, and learning opportunities to help to support young children in ongoing and future crises. Drawing on research and voices from the Global South, this book showcases innovations to mobilize new funds and re-allocate existing resources to protect children during the pandemic. It provides important evidence on understudied and overlooked vulnerable populations, recognizing that researchers from the Global South are best positioned to fill these research gaps, contextualize findings, and support the uptake and adoption of recommendations by local decision-makers and practitioners in those same contexts. The findings in this book will be important for practitioners, policy makers and donors working in or interested in humanitarian contexts, on early childhood development, or early childhood education. The book will also be useful to students and researchers working in these fields.

Bitch: On the Female of the Species
by Lucy CookeA fierce, funny, and revolutionary look at the queens of the animal kingdom Studying zoology made Lucy Cooke feel like a sad freak. Not because she loved spiders or would root around in animal feces: all her friends shared the same curious kinks. The problem was her sex. Being female meant she was, by nature, a loser. Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that the males of the animal kingdom are the interesting ones—dominating and promiscuous, while females are dull, passive, and devoted. In Bitch, Cooke tells a new story. Whether investigating same-sex female albatross couples that raise chicks, murderous mother meerkats, or the titanic battle of the sexes waged by ducks, Cooke shows us a new evolutionary biology, one where females can be as dynamic as any male. This isn&‘t your grandfather&’s evolutionary biology. It&’s more inclusive, truer to life, and, simply, more fun.
Life in the Sloth Lane: Slow Down and Smell the Hibiscus
by Lucy CookeIs there a reason sloths are always smiling? Yes! They’ve mastered the art of living slow in a world whose pace is making everyone crazy. Along with being the “it” animal—“sloths are the new kittens” (Washington Post)—the sloth clearly has much to teach us about how to live. Combining the irresistible cuteness of sloths with words of wisdom about slowing down, Life in the Sloth Lane is a mindfulness book like no other. On spread after spread we see heart-tugging, full-color images of sloths—grown-ups and babies, both two-toed and three-toed, draped in trees, lying on hammocks, eating, hugging, nuzzling, playing—paired with inspiration on the joy of living slow, including quotes from Thoreau and Emily Dickinson, Paulo Coehlo and Elizabeth Gilbert. Written by Lucy Cooke, author of the sellout Sloths calendar and the “Steven Spielberg of sloth filmmaking” (The Atlantic), Life in the Sloth Lane is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to step out of the fast lane. Or—hint, hint—needs to.
