Экологическое фэнтези. Человек ощутил себя лесом, а Лес, войдя в него, подчинил себе его существо. Как стать частичкой зелёного братства наравне с деревьями, зверями, птицами, травой и мхом и не потерять себя? Людские судьбы сплелись вокруг разумного леса. Кто выживет, хозяин или слуга?
Of the Nature of Things
Of the Nature of Things Lucretius – Lucretius' poem On the Nature of Things combines a scientific and philosophical treatise with some of the greatest poetry ever written. With intense moral fervour he demonstrates to humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is mortal, and the world and everything in it is governed by the mechanical laws of nature and not by gods; and that by believing this men can live in peace of mind and happiness. He bases this on the atomic theory expounded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus, and continues with an examination of sensation, sex, cosmology, meteorology, and geology, all of these subjects made more attractive by the poetry with which he illustrates them.very little is known about the Roman poet and philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus. His birth and death dates are based off of cross-referencing works that mention him, and pieces of evidence derived from his writing, and are believed to be circa 99 BC54 BC. On the Nature of Things is Lucretiuss only known work. The goal of the text is to explain Epicurean philosophy to the Roman people. It is addressed to Gaius Memmius, a praetor and patron of Lucretius. Presented in this work is an argument for atomism, the assertion that it is not the Gods that are responsible for the happenings of the world, but rather atoms and voids. Lucretius also argues that death is simply the dissipation of the human mind, and that it is not something we should fear. On the Nature of Things is a detailed articulation of ancient thought-provoking debates which are still relevant today. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the verse translation of William Ellery Leonard, and includes an introduction by Cyril Bailey.

Extremismo
"¿Qué es el extremismo? ¿Cómo se construyen las ideas extremistas? ¿Por qué el extremismo suele llevar a la violencia? Una ola de movimientos extremistas amenaza con desestabilizar sociedades civiles en todo el mundo. Nunca había sido tan importante comprender el extremismo, y en el diccionario solo se encuentra que es «la cualidad o el estado de ser extremo». En este volumen de la serie Conocimientos esenciales de MIT Press, J. M. Berger ofrece una introducción a los movimientos extremistas, explicando cómo se construyen estas ideologías y por qué el extremismo puede convertirse en violencia. El autor muestra que, a pesar de que el contenido ideológico de los movimientos extremistas varíe ampliamente, comparten elementos estructurales comunes. Berger, experto en movimientos extremistas y terrorismo, explica que este surge de la percepción de un «nosotros contra ellos», intensificada por la convicción de que el éxito de ese «nosotros» es inseparable de los actos hostiles en contra de «ellos». El extremismo se distingue del malestar común –el odio y el racismo– por su racionaliazación radical de una insistencia en la violencia. El autor ilustra su argumento con estudios de casos y ejemplos dados a lo largo de la historia, desde la destrucción de Cartago por los romanos–frecuentemente llamada «el primer genocidio»– hasta el yihadismo apocalíptico de Al Qaeda, la nueva «derecha alternativa» de Estados Unidos y el tratado de conspiración antisemita llamado Los protocolos de los ancianos de Sión. Berger describe la evolución de los movimientos de identidad, la radicalización individual y grupal, y más. Si comprendemos las causas del extremismo y los elementos comunes de estos movimientos, dice Berger, seremos más efectivos en contrarrestarlos."

Покой
Какую суперсилу вы хотели бы иметь? Суперсила – это же круто, верно? Но представьте, что у вас есть отклонение, которое не помогает, а наоборот, мешает жить: что делать тогда? Куда идти? Как спасаться? Эта история – о таких людях, о выборе, который им был предложен, и который был отнят. У этой истории есть две версии: одна называется «Шесть с половиной», и в ней я предлагаю читателю сыграть со мной в игру «Угадай героя»: по типу загадки Эйнштейна про дома. Не пугайтесь сразу: это будет интрига только во время знакомства с персонажами: имя персонажа, от чьего имени ведется повествование, будет обезличено – разве не интересно узнать, кто говорит, и в каких он отношениях с другими? Вторая версия – «Покой» – классическая, и предполагает получение удовольствия лишь от чтения. Приглашаю вас в свои рассуждения о теневой стороне суперсил, выборе и ожидании неизбежного. Содержит нецензурную брань.
