Resiliencia
En algunos casos de situaciones adversas o de peligro, es interesante observar que dos personas pueden reaccionar de diferentes formas y sobrellevarlo de diferentes maneras. Ejemplos de ello los encontramos en historias de guerras, accidentes o enfermedades donde, pese a la vicisitud, las personas continúan con una actitud favorable ante la vida. El término "resiliencia" hace referencia justamente a estas modalidades de "resistencia" o de "adaptación" ante la adversidad. Esta obra proporciona información relevante y competente de la actualidad en estudios sobre resiliencia, sus antecedentes, diferencias y aplicaciones para diversas áreas del conocimiento.

Una vez que te asomes en ella te sorprenderá la variedad de sensaciones, hallazgos, temores y deseos que puede suscitar en cada ser humano el abrazo de las cuatro paredes, mientras el aire del contagio masivo sopla en la calle. Mírate en este espejo, amable lector: encontrarás en él no una sola imagen sino un mosaico de breves prosas poéticas, ensayos e incluso narraciones que trazan un paisaje literario multicolor. Descubre algo de ti en estas páginas y averigua a dónde llevan los portales que el distanciamiento social ha abierto en las pantallas de nuestra conciencia.

Minificciones desde el encierro
Repentinamente, en marzo de 2020 nos colmamos de incertidumbre, fatalismo y esperanza. Como si alguien más hubiera escrito justo lo que temíamos, sentíamos o imaginábamos con locura, de pronto notamos que el mundo ya giraba diferente y que habría de resguardarse en casa: el enemigo invisible extendía su alcance y su rastro. Esas lejanas, peliculescas distopías se volvieron la inquietante realidad. Como algo había que hacer con ella para preservar unas pizcas de cordura, la convertimos en un concurso literario. Minificciones desde el encierro antologa los cincuenta microrrelatos ganadores de esa convocatoria, lanzada apenas unos días después del inicio de la cuarentena que nos tomó a todos incrédulos pero también creativos. Nunca sabremos si los autores habrían escrito otras historias ya habituados al confinamiento, lo que sí es seguro es que estos magníficos textos —junto con algunos más de plumas consagradas— son un testimonio de la forma en que afrontamos, desde el ingenio verbal, la crisis sanitaria causada por el COVID-19.

The Geology of Egypt
This richly illustrated book offers a concise overview of the geology of Egypt in the context of the geology of the Arab Region and Northeast Africa. An introductory chapter on history of geological research in Egypt sheds much light on the stages before and after the establishment of Egyptian Geological Survey (the second oldest geological survey worldwide), Hume's book and Said's 1962, 1990 books. The book starts with the Precambrian geology of Egypt, in terms of lithostratigraphy and classifications, structural and tectonic framework, crustal evolution and metamorphic belts. A dedicated chapter discusses the Paleozoic-Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonics and structural evolution of Egypt. A chapter highlights the Red Sea tectonics and the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba Rifts. Subsequent chapters address the Phanerozoic geology from Paleozoic to Quaternary. The Egyptian Impact Crater(s) and Meteorites are dealt with in a separate chapter. The Earth resources in Egypt, including metallic and non-metallic ore deposits, hydrocarbon and water resources, are given much more attention throughout four chapters. The last chapter addresses the seismicity, seismotectonics and neotectonics of Egypt.
The Book of Extraordinary Deaths
A welcome dose of dark humor for these dark times, from acclaimed illustrator Cecilia Ruiz The Book of Extraordinary Deaths introduces readers to the bizarre demises of thinkers, writers, monarchs, artists, and notable nobodies throughout history. Beginning in the seventh century BC with the unusual death of Draco and journeying chronologically to the present day, Ruiz’s playfully sinister giftbook illustrates and describes the infamous deaths of these unfortunate souls. From stories of the hot-air balloon duel that claimed a Frenchman’s life to the fatal wardrobe malfunction of famed dancer Isadora Duncan, The Book of Extraordinary Deaths is a uniquely clever and gorgeously rendered meditation on life’s ironies and mysteries. With Ruiz’s witty descriptions and rich, captivating illustrations, her characters come to life on the page even as they shuffle off this mortal coil.
The Book of Memory Gaps
Simon remembers every act of sin ever confessed to him. Pavel forgets what he has just played and rehearses the same melody over and over. Unable to recall faces, Veronika uses different perfumes to remember the ones she loves. The Book of Memory Gaps is a collection of darkly humorous mini-stories that examine our curious and capricious unconscious. With concise, lyrical prose and a discerning command of color, Cecilia Ruiz captures the delicate and fleeting nature of memory, as well as its immense power–after all, who would we be without it?
