El mayor experto mundial en el campo de la energía explica por qué no alcanzaremos el objetivo global de cero emisiones en 2050. A pesar de los acuerdos internacionales, la regulación, la inversión pública y privada, el progreso técnico y los cambios de comportamiento, el consumo mundial de combustibles fósiles aumentó un 55 % entre 1997 y 2023. En el mismo periodo, la proporción de combustibles fósiles en el consumo energético global ha pasado del 86 % al 82 %. La cruda realidad es que la transición en curso será muy larga y complicada. Opera a una escala sin precedentes, exige tecnología que aún no ha sido inventada y cantidades ingentes de recursos naturales y plantea imponentes desafíos ambientales, sociales, económicos y geopolíticos. Debemos escoger: invertir un 20 % del PIB mundial en la transición; decrecer voluntariamente (o colapsar involuntariamente); o renunciar al objetivo climático de 1,5 ºC y fiar así el mundo al destino, devolviéndole a los dioses lo que la modernidad quiso quitarles. He aquí el trilema en torno al cual gira este breve y fascinante ensayo, escrito por uno de los científicos e intelectuales más originales e influyentes de nuestro tiempo.

Elegant. Restrained. Unpretentious. Sophisticated. Informal. These seemingly contradictory adjectives all characterize the inimitable interior design of Tom Scheerer, who has himself dubbed his style “Relaxed Modernism.” For more than three decades, he has brought his singular touch to city apartments, country houses, and tropical getaways. Each of the dozens of projects compiled in this two-volume set reveals the fierce intelligence, impeccable sense of proportion, and encyclopedic knowledge of design history that inform his deceptively effortless work.

World-renowned interior visionary Veere Grenney takes us on an in-depth tour of his impressive residences in Tangier; Suffolk, England; and, for the first time, his new London home. The book begins with his beloved Tangerine villa—a decade-long labor of love and must-see for all garden enthusiasts, completed with the help of friend and expert in wild garden design Umberto Pasti and a regency gazebo designed by architect Cosimo Sesti. Next, we visit the Temple, his 18th-century Suffolk “pocket Palladian” set within the parkland of Tendring Hall and with views of the fishing lake and geranium-filled garden. Grenney called this picturesque sanctuary home for much of 2020. Finally, with exclusive photographs and annotations, Grenney opens the doors for the very first time to his brand-new London home.

Passionate about designing buildings and neighborhoods that quietly transform the urban environment, Torti Gallas is committed to improving cities, towns, and distressed communities throughout the United States and around the world. This fully illustrated book shows how they have combined the disciplines of architecture, planning, and urban design into a single practice, creating housing and mixed-use buildings that bring catalytic change to urban neighborhoods: the mixed-use apartment buildings, rowhouses, and single-family homes that comprise the fabric of a city. Their work hearkens back to a tradition that, before World War II, created some of the country’s finest neighborhoods, including Forest Hill Gardens in Queens, Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, and Russian Hill in San Francisco. Featuring 60 built projects, this book shows how Torti Gallas is dedicated to raising the level of this architecture to a new high.

Este trabajo pretende complementar la imagen que define a Borges como un escritor cosmopolita, sin nexos significativos con su propia realidad histórica y cultural que puedan rastrearse en sus textos. Por el contrario, aquí se postula que la reconocida universalidad del autor sólo fue posible a partir de sus múltiples relaciones con la cultura rioplatense.
