Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First UK Edition. 253 Pages. In 1965, a soldier walked in from the outskirts of a town and reported that he had just shot and killed two policemen and a Canadian Catholic priest. It was the opening scene in a mystery that, forty years later, compels JB MacKinnon, a nephew of the murdered mission…ary, to investigate what many believe was a carefully plotted assassination. A superb work of reportage, which blends documentary sources with imaginative conjecture to create a memorably good thriller. Dominican Republic, June 1965, and the bodies of two policemen are found near the body of a Catholic missionary priest, who they have apparently murdered. Not long before this the US had invaded the Dominican Republic in order to prevent a reformist government from coming to power; and a few years before that, the long, bizarre reign of the dictator Rafael Trujillo had come to an end in a bloody tangle of violence. The mystery of the priest's death was never solved. Forty years later, the priest's nephew returned to the island. His courageous research has allowed him to write a masterly combination of real-life thriller, travelogue and memoir. Evoking the fevered atmosphere of a beautiful country that does not encourage too much examination of its past, MacKinnon meet the people who remember all too well what it was like live mortal fear if they dared to challenge the landowners and the police. Brilliantly pieced together and threaded in with an account of the country's history and beautifully observed travelogue.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Lo quieres o lo necesitas? Una gran crónica sobre lo que significaría dejar de comprar. Jamás los bienes materiales habían sido tan importantes para nuestra vida y nuestra identidad. Agotamos los recursos del planeta dos veces más rápido de lo que pueden regenerarse. Compramos el doble…de prendas de ropa que hace veinte años y las conservamos durante la mitad de tiempo. Vivimos inmersos en la cultura del consumo compulsivo, conocemos las consecuencias y, sin embargo, no podemos parar. Pero ¿cómo sería nuestro mundo si dejásemos de hacerlo? ¿Se colapsaría la civilización? ¿Asistiríamos al renacimiento de la ecología del planeta? ¿Qué ocurriría con nuestra manera de pensar, crear productos, invertir el tiempo, expresar nuestra individualidad? J. B. MacKinnon entrevista a productores artesanales y sociedades de consumo cero, visita lugares donde las economías han experimentado cierres temporales y reúne una gran cantidad de opiniones de expertos. El resultado es una crónica profundamente perspicaz y actual, una exploración esencial de quiénes somos y qué consumimos, y una visión de un futuro, quizá, más sostenible. Sabemos que con nuestras propias decisiones hemos puesto al mundo en peligro; ahora debemos preguntarnos si seremos capaces de cambiar de paradigma. La crítica ha dicho: «Un análisis bien documentado y provocador que ofrece esperanza y optimismo para nuestro futuro». Kirkus «Ingenioso y erudito. Muestra con maestría la compleja relación entre la cultura del consumo y la naturaleza. Un agudo relato que ofrece un punto de partida para el cambio (y para el optimismo)». Library Journal «Una delicia. MacKinnon explora a fondo un enigma central en nuestros días: en qué medida somos lo que compramos y cómo comprar menos podría hacernos mucho mejores». Andrew Blum «Con ingenio, precisión y reflexiones sorprendentes, MacKinnon analiza en profundidad lo que hemos hecho y lo que podríamos hacer mucho mejor. Es uno de los libros más importantes y mejor escritos que he leído». Ronald Wright «Lleno de esperanza y de profundas reflexiones, sin pretensiones ni sermones, es una lectura emocionante y verdaderamente inspiradora. No pude parar de leerlo». Joel Bakan «Bien investigado y estimulante. Los lectores se animarán a realizar cambios en sus propios hábitos de compra». Publishers Weekly «En medio de una gran cantidad de manuales a menudo simplistas para una vida sencilla, este libro se destaca por su curiosidad, humanidad y apreciación genuinamente global de por qué consumimos demasiado y qué hacer al respecto». Frank Trentmann, autor de Empire of Things *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
