The Top 50 Sustainability Books If you don’t have time to read books ... but want to know what the good ones say, then you should take a look at this splendid array of best sellers about sustainability and related issues. As books go, it’s quite unique because you get 50 for the price of one – and in a compact package of 250+ pages. Do the math – that’s 5 pages per book. Students – and let’s admit it, their teachers, too – will love the shortcut. For each one of the Top 50 books, author Wayne Visser gives you key ideas, a one-page synopsis, illustrative quotations, author bio, follow-up interviews with most authors, and citations to related books and website listings. So armed, you can bluff your way through any social gathering (or student classroom) as if you had read the whole thing. A Worthwhile BookThe Top 50 is overall a good read. This is not only an excellent idea but, more importantly, well executed. The idea originated as an academic exercise. The journey from start to finish spans one lifetime.

Austin Kleon on 10 Things Every Creator Should Remember But We Often Forget by Maria Popova What T.S. Eliot has to do with genetics and the optimal investment theory for your intellectual life. Much has been said about the secrets of creativity and where good ideas come from, but most of that wisdom can be lost on young minds just dipping their toes in the vast and tumultuous ocean of self-initiated creation. So widely did the talk resonate that Kleon decided to deepen and enrich its message in Steal Like an Artist — an intelligent and articulate manifesto for the era of combinatorial creativity and remix culture that’s part 344 Questions, part Everything is a Remix, part The Gift, at once borrowed and entirely original. (This piece of truth is available as a print from 20×200, one of the best places for affordable art.) The book opens with a timeless T.S. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.” Kleon writes in the introduction: Donating = Loving

Y los que no trabajan tienen miedo de no encontrar nunca trabajo. El Diablo es extranjero El culpómetro indica que el inmigrante viene a robarnos el empleo. Guerras mentidas Las guerras se venden mintiendo, como se venden los autos. Cuando, hace ya unos cuantos años, mi mamá me daba instrucciónes para vivir, entre otras cosas me aseguró que la mentira tenía patas cortas. Mujeres San Juan Crisóstomo decía: "Cuando la primera mujer habló, provocó el pecado original" y San Ambrosio concluía: "Si a la mujer se le permite hablar de nuevo, volverá a traer la ruina al hombre".

Odio desde la otra vida - Roberto Arlt Fernando sentía la incomodidad de la mirada del árabe, que, sentado a sus espaldas a una mesa de esterilla en el otro extremo de la terraza, no apartaba posiblemente la mirada de su nuca. Sin poderse contener se levantó, y, a riesgo de pasar por un demente a los ojos del otro, se detuvo frente a la mesa del marroquí y le dijo: -Yo no lo conozco a usted. ¿Por qué me está mirando? El árabe se puso de pie y, después de saludarlo ritualmente, le dijo: -Señor, usted perdonará. Lo que le decía el desconocido era cierto: Fernando había estado pensando en matar a su novia. -Siéntese. Fernando se dejó caer melancólicamente en el sillón esterillado. -Estaba precisamente sobre su cabeza. Fernando, sin darse cuenta de lo que hacía, movió la cabeza, confirmando lo que el desconocido le decía. -Cuando desapareció la nube roja, vi una sala. Fernando ahora pensó que no tenía nada de inverosímil que el árabe pudiera darle datos de la habitación que ocupaba Lucía, porque ésta miraba al jardín del hotel.
