Battista Venturello
El universo fotográfico construido por el explorador europeo, que consta de varios cientos de fotografías, constituye una valiosa, original e irrepetible memoria histórica y etnográfica que debe hacer parte del patrimonio fotográfico y cultural colombiano. Se trata de una obra fotográfica pionera ya que dentro de la historia de la fotografía en Colombia puesta al servicio de la antropología, sólo le antecede el trabajo del etnógrafo alemán Theodor KochGrünberg entre los años de 19031905, quien nos dejó un valioso registro fotográfico de algunos grupos indígenas del Miritiparaná Apaporis. Décadas después, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el ilustre Botánico Richard Evans...

Path to a Meaningful Life
Life is a gift. To be alive in this world of chaos and uncertainties is a privilege we must not take for granted. Life is more precious than diamond. It is more precious because it is not sold in the supermarket. No matter how rich you are, you cannot buy life. Yes, you are right; I understand that money can give you access to the best health facilities in the world. It can afford you the opportunity to be treated by the best doctors in the world and the opportunity to replace your failing organs so as to remain as healthy as a horse, but have you seen anyone who lives forever? No one does. We all die. Whether rich or poor, life remains what money cannot buy and shouldn’t be taken for granted. How do we live a meaningful life? How do we make the most of this precious gift called life? How do we embark on the path that leads to living a meaningful and successful life? Well, I will like to believe you decided to read this piece because you will like to find answers to all these questions and more. I am glad you made this decision. Now is the time to embark on the journey into the world of meaningful and successful life.
Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities in George Santayana's Autobiography
Shattered Pictures of Places and Cities se adentra por las páginas autobiográficas, filosóficas y narrativas más relevantes de George Santayana discurriendo por sus viajes y geografías físicas en paralelo a sus viajes y geografías morales. Es un intento de ir más allá de la reflexión entorno a los orígenes biográficos del filósofo; de ahí que se recupere una indagación sobre su habitar el lenguaje y el arte. Santayana reconsidera los fundamentos del arte de la memoria clásica en su autobiografía, para formular una nueva propuesta estética donde el arte y la vida se funden y se confunden, estimulándose recíprocamente. Hila una filosofía del viaje y del lugar, donde se privilegia una noción del habitar que ilumina nuestra condición de nómadas -en la vida y en el pensamiento-, y nuestra trágica estable inestabilidad en este mundo.
The Anti-Stupidity Book
Stupidity. What is it? Is is just something we see our neighbors and parents/kids do (and members of the opposite political party)? Or is it something more? Why does it seem to be so universal? Are there fundamentals of stupidity that can be recognized? These are the questions discussed in this volume. It presents six fundamentals of stupidity that lead to the stupid choices we see all around us. Included among these are the belief that there are no moral values, that God does not exist, and that it is acceptable to become addicted and to treat others badly and be proud. In the end, we see that the only sure way to avoid the fundamentals of stupidity is through the saving power of Jesus Christ.
