Understanding human beings and their distinctive rational and volitional capacities is one of the central tasks of philosophy. The task requires a clear account of such things as reasons, desires, emotions and motives, and of how they combine to produce and explain human behaviour. In Kinds of Reasons, Maria Alvarez offers a fresh and incisive treatment of these issues, focusing in particular on reasons as they feature in contexts of agency. Her account builds on some important recent work in the area; but she takes her main inspiration from the tradition that receives its seminal contemporary expression in the writings of G.E.M. Anscombe, a tradition that runs counter to the broadly Humean orthodoxy that has dominated the theory of action for the past forty years. Alvarez's conclusions are therefore likely to be controversial; and her bold and painstaking arguments will be found provocative by participants on every side of the debates with which she engages. Clear and directly written, Kinds of Reasons aims to stake out a distinctive position within one of the most hotly contested areas of contemporary philosophy.

Como madre y chef líder en el mercado, la nutrición saludable de mi familia es lo que más me interesa. Lo más importante para mí es que las recetas deben ser deliciosas, rápidas y sencillas de preparar. Desde hace años cocino con Thermomix y aquí he compilado algunas de mis recetas favoritas. Esto lo hago de acuerdo a lo siguientes criterios: ¡Deliciosas! Estas recetas son prácticamente “a prueba de todo”: Mi familia, y especialmente mis hijos, disfrutan mucho estos platos. Esto, a pesar de la relativamente alta cantidad de “verdes” que figuran en los ingredientes. ¡Saludables! He puesto mucha atención en mi selección de recetas, las cuales tienen un contenido bajo de grasas saturadas y azúcares simples. Concretamente, son platos con poca mantequilla, crema o azúcar. En lugar de azúcar y grasa, la energía es suplida por las siguientes sustancias: - Proteína, a través de productos con alto contenido de esta como pescado, res o pollo - Carbohidratos complejos como papa, arroz o granos (pan de granos) - Frutas y verduras (ensaladas, sopas y batidos) Por esta razón, estas recetas son útiles para adelgazar y se adaptan a cualquier plan alimenticio. ¡Fáciles y rápidas! Durante el día, a menudo no encontramos tiempo para preparar alimentos. El Thermomix normalmente facilita las labores de la cocina, pero no necesariamente si uno se basa en una receta complicada. En mi libro usted encontrará recetas que podrá preparar fácil y sencillamente. Además, me he cerciorado de cuidar la sencillez y simpleza de las descripciones de estas. ¡Para Todo! Le ofrezco recetas para todo tipo de ocasión: Recetas para el desayuno, el almuerzo o la cena, platillos para una fiesta, para acompañar el té durante un resfrío o simplemente para preparar un batido de merienda. Incluso podemos diseñar un menú de 5 platos al combinar estas recetas.

Plagued by a strange malady, Belle is an affluent, pill-addicted desperate housewife going through the motions of doing up her huge new London house. Her workaholic husband is away for months at a time. Dangerously idle since leaving her job in an art gallery, she invites the alluring Tina, a young local waitress whom she barely knows, to become her lodger. But Tina's menacing boyfriend Carl is never far behind...Haunted by fragments of troubling history and at a loss with her current existence, Belle becomes darkly enmeshed with the younger woman. Before long the two women are living off each other's reflections. The lines between Tina and Belle, fantasy and reality, truth and deception, watcher and watched, dissolve and a chilling, erotic game of blurring psyches ensues.
