Beginning in the 1960s, John Brookes MBE (1933–2018) revolutionized garden design, with a new design philosophy and methodology that was rooted in the notion that gardens are about the people who live in them. Recognizing the demands of the contemporary lifestyle, he broke with previous labor-intensive garden design traditions and the emphasis on showcasing plants. Instead he promoted using gardens as extensions of the home.He introduced this notion in his 1969 book, A Room Outside, which also contained practical advice on materials, methodology, and planting. His approach was unprecedented and included the then-novel idea that people of all income levels could have designed, fashionable gardens tailored to their needs, low-maintenance, and beautiful. John taught and lectured around the world and, thanks to his energetic writing, teaching and media appearances, he became regarded as the 'king’ and 'godfather’ of garden and landscape design.How to Design a Garden is an informative and ultimately practical collection of his thoughts and advice selected from countless writings and lectures given to students, professionals and the public around the world. In addition to his teaching on how to design a garden, the book has two key themes – environmental sustainability and a focus on the local vernacular. They show how far ahead he was of his time and to what a great extent his teaching remains relevant to garden-makers today.

Con motivo de los 50 ańos de la aparición de la novela Pedro Páramo, del escritor mexicano Juan Rulfo (1917-1986), la Fundación que lleva su nombre ha concedido a la editorial RM Verlag los derechos editoriales para la publicación de la versión original de este clásico de la literatura latinoamericana. Desde su primera aparición en 1955 se han prodigado diversas ediciones y más de 50 traducciones, pero la presente versión es la única avalada por la Fundación Juan Rulfo, garante de la fidelidad e integridad de la obra.Desde su aparición, Pedro Páramo provocó una convulsión en el panorama literario de la época. En sus aspectos formales, la novela desorientó a los lectores acostumbrados a la unidad de estilo, espacio y tiempo de la novela decimonónica. Pedro Páramo, por el contrario, ofrecía una aparente falta de unidad del texto, una composición desordenada, la ausencia de un argumento central, la aparición de continuas elipsis y la aparición de unos personajes en ocasiones fantasmagóricos.En cuanto a su contenido, Pedro Páramo logró retratar de manera lúcida y penetrante el espíritu y la idiosincrasia del pueblo mexicano. Las principales fuentes de Rulfo para componer esta obra fueron, sin duda alguna, su formación como lector, su interés por la historia, la antropología y el estudio de las culturas y las gentes de México. Siempre dedicó gran parte de sus lecturas a este ámbito, asistió como oyente a la Universidad y dedicó gran parte de su juventud a recorrer los rincones más interesantes de su país.

To read it is to see the world more clearly' - Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribesNeurodiversity is on the rise.Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why.

Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine.Neurodivergent liberation is possible - but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds and deepest selves - and how we can undo them.
