#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Dentro de la prolífica obra del hispanista Ralph Hayward Keniston (1883-1970), perteneciente a la generación que en el siglo XX amplía el entendimiento de qué implica enseñar una lengua y abre la docencia del español a la cultura, destaca The Syntax of Castilian Prose (1937), obra originalísima, sin bibliografía, con un poderoso índice (quizá lo más consultado de ella) que alienta la caza de los tesoros lingüísticos del Quinientos, etapa favorita de nuestra cultura y lengua para el celebrado filólogo. Keniston, que principia escribiendo sobre literatura áurea, de Garcilaso a Cervantes, y se inserta después en los estudios de lingüística probabilística, representa la bisagra intelectual del hispanismo estadounidense que desde una concepción decimonónica romantizada de España y de su lengua se abría a una perspectiva más realista y pretendidamente científica, consolidada durante el XX. Asumida esta herencia y también la ruptura de la apuesta por una nueva didáctica, aquí despliega una taxonomía de posibilidades del español del XVI con indicación de su grado mayor o menor de probabilidad a partir de su frecuencia: así, se dan pistas para seguir trabajando en el estudio de estructuras posibles o se informa de datos que pueden ser suficientes para una rápida argumentación sobre cuestiones de español histórico. Inspirada por los trabajos sobre estadística de uso de palabras y listados bibliográficos de utilidad educativa, The Syntax of Castilian Prose significó, como señala Lola Pons en el brillante prólogo a esta edición, un nuevo modelo de libro, cartesiano, ordenado, con la lengua desmenuzada y despiezada taxonómicamente. Aún hoy, el de Keniston sigue siendo un inmejorable y utilísimo manual del que extraer ejemplos, fuente de consulta constante, lectura no lineal pero sí de referencia para la cita de ejemplos de usos morfosintácticos del Quinientos.

This Land presenta una sátira a fuego lento del sueño americano mientras se topa con la realidad del cambio climático.This Land es un mural épico creado por el artista neoyorquino David Opdyke a partir de postales estadounidenses antiguas que luego trató con desconcertantes intervenciones pintadas. Lo que al principio parece una vista panorámica a vista de pájaro de un idílico valle alpino se revela, tras un examen más detenido, como una serie de escenas y viñetas conectadas. A través de más de quinientas postales, cada una de las cuales representa una porción distinta de la cultura estadounidense idealizada (plazas de ciudades, carreteras de montaña, calles principales y sedes de condado), las alteraciones mordaces y emocionalmente discordantes de Opdyke se vuelven gradualmente evidentes.En esta remodelación profética, los bosques están en llamas, los tornados pasan de una tarjeta a la siguiente, un barco de vapor es tragado entero por una especie de nueva megafauna, las ranas caen como granizo bíblico del cielo. Las respuestas humanas forman una cacofonía de deseos y demandas, pánico y negación.Las imágenes se ven animadas a su vez por la vívida y astuta mezcla de perfil artístico e interpretación crítica de Lawrence Weschler.

Tracing a remarkably varied career, this monograph on the painter David Diao follows his stylistic evolution-from abstraction to genre-defying and candid self-exploration.,his book accompanies the first full-scale retrospective of David Diao's entire oeuvre. It is a career of twists and turns- Diao's work was originally influenced by the New York School of the 1960s before he became obsessed with the work of Barnett Newman, referencing many of the artist's paintings in his own. After a period of restless inactivity, Diao's most recent works touch on his personal history as a Chinese immigrant in America, modernist architecture, and identity politics. In addition to spectacular reproductions of Diao's work over four decades, this comprehensive book features illustrations and essays on Diao's treatment of identity and his aversion to categorization, and analysis of Diao's work as a method of capturing the process of forgetting and the inherent fallibility of art historical memory. Long overdue, this book celebrates Diao's unique vision and art.

In 2014, northeastern Syria might have been the last place you would expect to find a revolution centered on women's rights. But that year, an all-female militia faced off against ISIS in a little town few had ever heard of: Kobani. By then, the Islamic State had swept across vast swathes of the country, taking town after town and spreading terror as the civil war burned all around it. From that unlikely showdown in Kobani emerged a fighting force that would wage war against ISIS across northern Syria alongside the United States. In the process, these women would spread their own political vision, determined to make women's equality a reality by fighting - house by house, street by street, city by city - the men who bought and sold women.

The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn’t have to mean the world is ending.‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

So join in, hit the tiles and explore this fascinating country in Portugal: The Monocle Handbook.
