    A pandemic is overtaking kids today - but it’s not Covid. It’s the glowing screens they carry everywhere. In Glow Kids (2016), addiction expert Nicholas Kardaras explores how technology, especially interactive media such as video games, affects human development. Glowing screens can change the structure and composition of the brain by offering high amounts of satisfaction for long periods of time. These overstimulated states particularly impact children, whose brains are not yet fully formed, and can lead to serious psychological, physical, and behavioral repercussions. But there is a cure for this pandemic, and Kardaras offers tips for parents and other concerned adults on how to mitigate its effects.

    One of the differentiating factors of our present is the increased environmental awareness. However, this has not yet been converted into social, economic and law systems that reveal the multiple challenges that are imposed on us. The destructive impulse of the dominant ideologies in the twentieth century maintains the hegemony of their spaces, barely trying to adapt itself into a new reality that surpasses them.
    
    Meanwhile in 1972 we believed there was a marked environmental degradation, in 2022 we recognize that we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of the species, the earth temperature has already increased in more than one degree Celsius and a significant percent of the planet's sweet water is contaminated. If the Constitution that Chile is planning to write and set in force in the years to come, wants to capture the logic of our times, it is essential that it sets as something basic, the environmental conditions where the legal-political communities, constituted by the chileans communities, are going to develop.
    
    This book explores the details of the "Ecological Constitution" concept, that refers to the provisions that have to be contained in a Constitution in a transversal way and that, setting the environmental protection as a central axis of the social organization, attempts to harmonize the social and nature activities.
    
    The new Constitution of Chile won't change everything, but it can constitute a first fundamental base on that change. This book is an invitation to dream with that possibility and reflect on the different ways that the Constitution can take us in that direction. The systematic changes are urgent and we are in the position to begin with them.

    Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two chronic conditions that significantly affect the lives of women around the world. Both are often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and associated with pelvic pain, yet they are distinct in their causes and manifestations. Understanding these conditions is crucial for improving awareness, diagnosis, and treatment options. 
    Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing inflammation, pain, and the formation of adhesions. This misplaced tissue can attach to organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the outer surface of the uterus. The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, which can vary from mild to debilitating. Women with endometriosis often experience pain during menstruation, intercourse, and bowel movements, and may also suffer from infertility. The condition affects approximately 10% of women worldwide, yet many go undiagnosed for years due to the subtlety of its symptoms and the lack of awareness among both patients and healthcare providers. 
    Adenomyosis, on the other hand, occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and tender, often resulting in heavy menstrual bleeding, cramping, and pelvic pain. Although adenomyosis shares some symptoms with endometriosis, such as pain and menstrual irregularities, it is distinct in its pathology and the way it impacts the body. Unlike endometriosis, adenomyosis is more directly related to the uterus itself, leading to a different set of challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

As director during a time of intense political change and unprecedented challenges in South Africa, Willie recounts his wild journey with humour, suspense, and unflinching honesty.
    From managing the needs of over 9 000 animals during the first-ever massive staff strike, to navigating the intricate politics of acquiring unique species as diplomatic gifts for Nelson Mandela, Willie's stories are as enlightening as they are entertaining. He shares thrilling close encounters with wild animals, and the light-hearted moments that make every day in the zoo an adventure.
    Willie's experiences extend beyond the zoo's boundaries – from an intimidating passage through Checkpoint Charlie in 1987 to life-threatening situations in the depths of the Congolese jungle. His compelling narrative underscores the pivotal and indispensable role zoos play in conservation and discusses their evolution in 'biological gardens', inviting readers to understand the crucial importance of controlled breeding in conservation and the preservation of endangered species.
    Of Man and Beast is not just an account of a man's life among animals, but a profound look at the responsibilities we share in safeguarding our planet's diverse inhabitants. Willie asks readers to reflect on the future of wildlife conservation, poised between the extremes of poaching and habitat destruction.
    This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, and the extraordinary stories of a man who has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting the natural world. Join Willie as he leads us through his incredible journey, exploring the complex relationship between man and beast, and the enduring impact of his work on our global ecosystem.
    Of Man and Beast is an urgent, beautiful homage to the wild connections that bind us all.
