Infidelity: Why Men and Women Cheat
by Kenneth Paul RosenbergWhat the latest science tells us about the brain's reward systems, love, and sex--and how to prevent an affair from destroying your lifeHow can I prevent an affair from destroying my life? Whether I am the cheater or the betrayed partner, how can I survive, even thrive, in the wake of an affair? Infidelity provides key insights to find your true sexual and romantic potential and advocates honesty, trust, and integrity--the fundamentals of love. People often cheat in a haze of delusion, believing that it will bring them real love, help them have better sex, lift their spirits, and boost their sagging self-esteem; however, very often, cheating wrecks relationships and erodes self-esteem. In Infidelity, one of America's top doctors combines neuroscience, addiction theory, and common sense to explain the three types of cheating: emotional, virtual, and physical; why they're so prevalent; and how to live in accordance with our values when we are drawn to stray. Examining what the latest science tells us about the brain's reward systems, love, and sex, Dr. Kenneth Paul Rosenberg reveals what drives men and women to cheat and what they can do about it. At a time when America's pornography obsession rises to the level of a competing sexual interest, when is porn a problem, and when does it count as infidelity? And since it is not the act of infidelity alone that destroys a couple, how does any couple prevent growing apart? Through concrete rules addressing these and other vital questions, Dr. Rosenberg guides couples on how to prevent cheating, stop it from progressing, and repair the damage caused by an affair.
El infierno en tu piel
by Camucha EscobarMagia negra. Un pueblo sembrado de cadáveres de mujeres con el corazón arrancado. Un hombre al que todos señalan. Odios políticos que enfrentan a vecinos, amigos y hermanos. La enfermedad endémica del miedo. Y un amor que arde al borde de los convencionalismos. Corre el año 1859 y nuestro territorio se ve envuelto en el caos sangriento de una guerra fratricida. Los enfrentamientos entre Buenos Aires y el interior se van profundizando: los confederados luchan por sus derechos y por sus familias, mientras que los porteños solo piensan en escapar del "tirano" Urquiza. El miedo ha multiplicado las divisiones y la hostilidad y no hay lugar para la reconciliación. En estas arenas movedizas comienzan a celebrarse extrañas ceremonias de brujería en los cementerios de las estancias de Pergamino provocando el desconcierto. Y la aparición de varios cuerpos de mujeres con el corazón arrancado termina por sembrar el terror. Todos señalan a José Manuel Iriarte como responsable. Pero ¿cómo es, en realidad, este hijo bastardo del coronel Iriarte? De él se dicen muchas cosas, por ejemplo que ha herido los sentimientos de algunas damas de la sociedad de Pergamino con quienes se encontraba en secreto. Sin pruebas ni investigaciones, es llevado a la cárcel. Y su medio hermano Jerónimo Iriarte aprovecha para jugar sus cartas. Rituales de magia negra, maldiciones, traición, una vieja herida de amor y una pasión inesperada. Con sus luces y sombras, los protagonistas de esta historia despiertan sentimientos encontrados: son amados y odiados con la misma intensidad.

Infinite Resignation: On Pessimism
by Eugene ThackerA collection of aphorisms, fragments, and observations on philosophy and pessimism.Composed of aphorisms, fragments, and observations both philosophical and personal, Eugene Thacker’s Infinite Resignation traces the contours of pessimism, caught as it is between a philosophical position and a bad attitude. By turns melancholic, misanthropic, and tinged with gallows humor, Thacker’s writing tenuously hovers over that point at which the thought of futility becomes the futility of thought.

Inocente 5: Janeesia

Mientras tanto, vende por teléfono inspecciones de equipos de calefacción y refrigeración para pagar las facturas. Para obtener más experiencia de actuación, realiza audiciones para cada papel que se abre. Incluso en una obra "experimental" como Desert Island Blues, escrita y dirigida por la tiránica Tatum, que toma todo en serio. Janeesia no esperaba interpretar un cactus, pero sigue siendo un papel de habla, por lo que lo acepta. Planea bromear cuando acepte su Premio de la Academia. Tampoco planea besar a Tatum, pero en una fiesta de elenco, de alguna manera eso es lo que hace. Lo que lleva a una cita "amigable" para ver una ópera, simplemente porque ambas odian la ópera, y un paseo nocturno en el paseo marítimo que bordea el río Mississippi. Janeesia realmente no espera lo que sucederá esa noche. Después de todo, Janeesia nunca se identificó como lesbiana. ¿Qué le está pasando? Janeesia tampoco sabe que Tatum aún sufre del dolor de perder a su novia más querida que se casó con un hombre, y se automedica con alcohol. Janeesia tampoco se da cuenta de cuánto le persigue el alcoholismo de su padre. O cuánto su ambición por el éxito comercial viola los estándares personales de Tatum de pureza artística y política. Con tantos obstáculos, es una maravilla que Janeesia todavía pueda interpretar un cactus en la obra de Tatum. ¿Cómo pueden vivir con su amor?
