The Genetic Book Of The Dead
Avui -5% en Llibres

Dawkins, Richard

From one of the world's great science writers, a book that explores the deepest principles of evolutionary history.In this groundbreaking new approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones 'painted' on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.But such descriptions are more than skin-deep. The fine chisels of Darwinian natural selection carve their way through the very warp and woof of the body, into every biochemical nook and corner, into every cell of every living creature. A zoologist of the future, presented with a hitherto-unknown animal, will be able to reconstruct the worlds that shaped its ancestors, to read its unique 'book of the dead'.The book is filled with fascinating examples of the power of Darwinian natural selection to build exquisite perfection, paradoxically accompanied by what look like gross blunders. Along the way, Dawkins dismantles influential criticisms of the 'gene's-eye-view' of life. And, to end with a provocative sting in the tail, the author asks there is a sense in which all our 'own' genes can be seen as a gigantic colony of cooperating viruses?From the author of The Selfish Gene and The Ancestor's Tale comes a revolutionary, richly illustrated book that unlocks the door to an ancient past, seen through wholly new eyes.

The Politics Of Time
Avui -5% en Llibres

Standing, Guy

'Guy Standing's books have, over the years, pieced together a necessary political and intellectual agenda ... His Politics of Time is a splendid and timely addition to this body of important work' Yanis VaroufakisTime has always been political. Throughout history, how we use our time has been defined and controlled by the powerful, and today is no exception. But we can reclaim control, and in this book, the pioneering economist Guy Standing shows us how.The ancient Greeks organised time into five categories: work, labour, recreation, leisure and contemplation. Labour was onerous, whereas leisure was schole, and included participation in public life and lifelong education. Since the industrial revolution, our time has been shaped by capitalism, our jobs are supposed to provide all meaning in life, our time outside labour is considered simply 'time off', and politicians prioritise jobs above all other aspects of a good life.Today, we are experiencing the age of chronic uncertainty. Mental illness is on the rise, some people are experiencing more time freedom while many others are having more and more of their time stolen from them, particularly the vulnerable and those in the precariat.But there is a way forward. We can create a new politics of time, one that liberates us and helps save the planet, through strengthening real leisure and working together through commoning. We can retake control of our time, but we must do it together.

The Bill Gates Problem
Avui -5% en Llibres

Schwab, Tim

A powerful investigation of Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation, showing how he uses philanthropy to exercise enormous political power without accountabilityThrough his vaunted philanthropy, Bill Gates transformed himself from a tech villain into one of the most admired people on the planet. Even as divorce proceedings and allegations of misconduct have recently tarnished his public image, the beneficence of the Gates Foundation, celebrated for spending billions to save lives around the globe, is taken as a given. But as Tim Schwab shows in this fearless investigation, Gates is still exactly who he was at a bully and monopolist, convinced of his own righteousness and intent on imposing his ideas, his solutions, and his leadership on everyone else. At the core, he is not a selfless philanthropist but a power broker, a clever engineer who has innovated a way to turn extreme wealth into immense political influence—and who has made us believe we should applaud his acquisition of power, not challenge it.Piercing the blinding halo that has for too long shielded the world’s most powerful (and most secretive) charitable organization from public scrutiny, The Bill Gates Problem shows how Gates’s billions have purchased a stunning level of control over public policy, private markets, scientific research, and the news media. Whether he is pushing new educational standards in America, health reforms in India, global vaccine policy during the pandemic, or Western industrialized agriculture throughout Africa, Gates’s heady social experimentation has shown itself to be not only undemocratic, but also ineffective. In many places, Bill Gates is hurting the very people he intends to help.No less than dark-money campaign contributions or big-business political lobbying, Bill Gates’s philanthropic empire needs to be seen as a problem of money in politics. It is a dangerous model of unconstrained power that threatens democracy and demands our attention.

Unzueta, Patxo

«Un boxeador aficionado llamado Antonio Gómez Vallés, a quien llamábamos el Púgil, y que trabajaba en la huevería de mi padre, nos llevaba cada día, en bicicleta, al colegio. Nos metía a los dos en un gran cesto de mimbre, de los que entonces se usaban para llevar huevos, lo colocaba sobre la barra de la bici, y así íbamos mi hermano y yo, atravesando todo Bilbao, desde la calle Zabala hasta los Escolapios, cerca ya de la ría. Zabala. Empinada cuesta que asciende desde el puente que cruza sobre las vías del tren hasta las minas de Malaespera, a la izquierda, y el camino de los Mimbres, a la derecha. Y, más arriba, la campa de Zabala y la Media Luna, con su txakolí —había un futbolín—, Torre Urizar, San Adrián y luego Larraskitu. En unas casas queconstruyeron donde antes estuvo la campa de la Media Luna vivió hasta su muerte el poeta Gabriel Aresti. Allí lo visité varias veces en mis años de estudiante. Discutidor nato, casi siempre estaba en desacuerdo con todo el mundo. Pero a mí, que entonces era, me parece, junto con Xabier Kintana, el más joven de sus amigos, siempre me trató con cariño. A la izquierda de la calle, justo donde termina el barrio ferroviario, se abren (o abrían: pusieron una tapia) las campas de las minas de Malaespera, que enlazan, por el otro lado, con las de Miravilla, y llegan hasta Bilbao la Vieja. Los más intensos recuerdos de mi niñez están ligados a esas campas. El gato que mi tío Teófilo llevó allí en un saco para matarlo. Los cráteres en que se depositaba la lluvia. Unas rocas donde nos sentábamos a merendar. A mortadela es el sabor que se me sube a la memoria si cierro los ojos».
