As the second-in-command of Olympus Station, Captain Hadley Wells is usually too focused on her career to worry about romance.

Marco Aurelio escribió sus Meditaciones durante los descansos de sus actividades políticas y bélicas. Estas reflexiones tenían el propósito de recordarle las máximas fundamentales del estoicismo y de ayudarle a aplicarlas en su día a día para no desviarse del objetivo primordial: ser mejor persona. Organizadas en doce libros, versan sobre temas universales y atemporales como la fugacidad del tiempo o la manera correcta de conducirse en la vida.

Piper fled Olympus Station with a broken heart, finding solace in the far reaches of the galaxy as an exobotanist breeding rare plants.

Escritas em grego pelo único imperador romano que também era filósofo, sem intenção de publicação, as Meditações de Marco Aurélio oferecem ao ouvinte uma série notável de reflexões espirituais desafiadoras e exercícios desenvolvidos à medida que o imperador lutava para entender a si mesmo e dar sentido ao universo.

"Il serait salutaire que vous vous concentriez quotidiennement sur les énergies de l'un des sept rayons majeurs qui inondent la planète en provenance du Créateur. L'ensemble de leurs énergies déferle sur la Terre comme jamais auparavant, mais chaque jour, l'un des rayons prédomine. Travailler avec les sept rayons vous aidera à équilibrer vos sept chakras majeurs et apportera l'harmonie et le bien-être dans vos vies actuelles". Adama

Veinticinco años después de Sobre la fotografía, Susan Sontag regresó al estudio de la representación visual de la guerra y la violencia. ¿Cómo nos afecta el espectáculo del sufrimiento ajeno? ¿Nos hemos acostumbrado a la crueldad? Para ello, la autora examina la serie de Goya Los desastres de la guerra, las fotografías de la guerra civil estadounidense y de los campos de concentración nazis, y las horribles imágenes contemporáneas de Bosnia, Sierra Leona, Ruanda, Israel y Palestina, así como de la ciudad de Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001.

En medio del caos y de la guerra, el emperador romano Marco Aurelio escribe a diario sus meditaciones. Es su forma de hallar la paz interior, concentrar fuerzas y no olvidar lo aprendido. «Ser igual a la roca sobre la que rompen incesantemente las olas», escribe.

One moment, Eva is on Earth, helping restore the destroyed planet, and the next, she’s whisked to a far-off galaxy, away from her parents and the other cyborgs and humans. She arrives in the middle of a mating ceremony for the two newest rulers, Vander and Virgo. The gorgeous green men are pure temptation, especially since they seem to believe she’s meant to be their mate, but Eva wants to go home. She controls her own destiny, not a blobby peach alien.

When Jody Shaw is hired to be the new sheriff of Harrow Bay, a small coastal community, she’s excited to rise through the ranks and try something new. At 43, her career is everything that matters to her, besides her mother and grandmother, who move with her. It doesn’t take long for Jody to learn Harrow Bay is unusual. It’s home to all sorts of supernatural creatures, and there’s a Hell gate right at the center of town. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to build an entire town around a Hell gate?

Le concept de "charge mentale" a surgi dans nos vies avec la force d'une évidence jusque-là dissimulée. Il semble caractériser mieux qu'à toute autre époque les femmes d'aujourd'hui, obligées de penser à tout, même à demander de l'aide... Organisation de la vie domestique, de la vie au travail, gestion des repas, des courses, des vacances, des réunions, des plannings, accélération et compression du temps... Qu'on soit célibataire, en couple, femme ou homme au foyer, divorcé... chacun peut être, un jour, concerné par une surcharge.

Jody has started to settle into her new job as sheriff of the magical town of Harrow Bay. After two months, maybe she's figuring out this magic thing, and the town has been peaceful. Willa starts a new job and realizes something she never expected, while Isabel continues her campaign of terror against the Senior Center tyrant and her quest to really learn magic - at least until the nightmares start. The residents of Harrow Bay are short-tempered, tired, and grumpy after a spate of nightmares haunts their dreams.

Too many men, not enough time. Jody isn’t used to juggling men and has no interest in it. When a coven of warlocks turn up in Harrow Bay, she doesn’t like their leader’s interest in her any more than she likes having them in her town. The mayor is persistent with his attempts to get better acquainted, and she’s clinging to her determination to make Drake believe there’s nothing between them. Willa is struggling to come to terms with her unexpected attraction, and Isabel has more of a love life than she wants when Artie pops the question.
