Sinopsis

Gran Torre Santiago explores how one skyscraper became a symbol of Chile's modern aspirations and complex societal dynamics. The book examines the architectural, economic, and social facets of the tower, South America's tallest building, set against the backdrop of Chile's transition to democracy and its embrace of neoliberal policies. It reveals how the tower pushed engineering boundaries in a seismically active region, leading to innovative construction techniques.

 
Furthermore, the project mirrored Chile's ambition for economic growth, sparking debates about modernization and inequality. The book adopts a comprehensive approach, initially detailing the architectural concepts and engineering challenges. It then analyzes the economic and political factors that enabled the Costanera Center project, addressing controversies surrounding its financing.

 
Finally, it explores the social and cultural impact of the Gran Torre Santiago, considering its role in shaping Santiago's urban landscape. Through architectural plans, economic data, and interviews, the book presents a nuanced perspective on the tower's significance. It argues that the Gran Torre Santiago embodies both Chile's aspirations for modernity and the persistent social tensions within the nation, making it a microcosm of the country's evolving identity in the 21st century.

    Combining the ethical clarity of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals with the disquieting vision of Alan Weissman’s bestseller The World Without Us, a thought-provoking, entertaining exploration of a future where animal consumption is a thing of the past. 
     
    Though increasing numbers of people know that eating meat is detrimental to our planet’s health, many still can’t be convinced to give up eating meat. But how can we change behavior when common arguments and information aren’t working? 
     Acclaimed anthropologist Roanne Van Voorst changes the dialogue. In Once Upon a Time We Ate Animals, she shifts the focus from the present looking forward to the future looking back—imagining a world in which most no longer use  animals for food, clothing, or other items. By shifting the viewpoint, she offers a clear and compelling vision of what it means to live in a world without meat. 
    A massive shift is already taking place—everything van Voorst covers in this book has already been invented and is being used today by individuals and small organizations worldwide.  
    Hopeful and persuasive, Once Upon a Time We Ate Animals offers a tantalizing vision of what is not only possible but perhaps inevitable.

    When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so too were women's rites of passage into our wild, intuitive femininity and maturity. 
     
     
     
    With Maiden to Mother, Sarah Durham Wilson excavates these ancient rites, guiding us through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother—the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us. 
     
     
     
    Becoming the Mother is every woman's birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children. The Mother is who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now. 
     
     
     
    Wilson teaches that while pre-patriarchal cultures honored women's natural cycles, today's society infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as "pretty, pleasing, and polite" in order to keep us distracted and dependent. 
     
     
     
    In this journey, you will travel with Inanna—the ancient Sumerian goddess who ventured through the Underworld to meet her severed, dark sister and emerged fully integrated and empowered. 
     
     
     
    Wilson helps women heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy, so we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life.
