    Life skills are those skills that enable individuals to effectively face the demands and challenges of daily life. 
    Among these, critical thinking is one of the fundamental requisites for the emancipation and participation in the social life of every human being.  
     But what do we actually mean when we talk about critical thinking? Is it possible to think of building tools for the development and evaluation of critical thinking?  
    The volume intends to answer these questions through theoretical and operational material. This is a hands-on book focused on developing your intelligence and critical thinking skills to make decisions. This is not an abstract story about thinking and I assure you that after reading it you will not be the same person who is reading these words.  
    With the critical thinking tools and strategies that I will teach you in this book, you will learn not to be deceived by cunning techniques of argumentation, to be sane, to strive to understand and appreciate the points of view of others, to analyze the reasoning with which you do not necessarily agree and change your points of view when you are faced with a better reasoning.

    The Bomb Doctor - A Scientist's...

    This is not CSI. What you encounter as a true bomb detective—or "Bomb Doctor," as some in the FBI call me—are fields of twisted metal containing soot-covered fragments intermingled with human remains. You have carnage and chaos. As you wade into that sea of wailing sirens and screaming survivors awash with the stench of diesel fuel and decaying bodies, your job is to ferret out forensic clues in a type of macabre scavenger hunt to ultimately reconstruct the scene and the explosive device and determine what happened and what the bomb looked like before it was torn asunder. 
     
     
     
    The scavenger hunt can take months—or, in the case of the infamous Collar Bomber, seven painstaking years. The work is worth every second and every horrific image that etches itself into your brain because it helps prevent new horrors. Not all, obviously. We are not superheroes. But unlike shooters, who often just "snap" or seem to act out in random ways, bombers almost always have a story—one that follows an arc. 
     
     
     
    In The Bomb Doctor, my goal is to explain that arc, explode myths, reconstruct reality, and build an understanding of the reason and means behind the mayhem, as well as pull back the curtain on the investigative process that brings bombers to justice.

    People We Forgot After Vacation

    People We Forgot After Vacation is a tender reflection on impermanence — a story about how connection blooms and fades in the spaces between escape and return. It captures the fragile magic of fleeting encounters: the people who made us feel infinite for a week, and the selves we became beside them. Through quiet, lyrical prose, it explores memory, distance, and the mercy of forgetting — how not every bond is meant to endure, and how the beauty of life often lies in its brevity. This is a meditation on nostalgia, belonging, and the human need to remember what was never meant to last.
