156 emociones que has sentido, que no sabes si has sentido, o que nunca antes has podido nombrar en tu idioma. Una enciclopedia de emociones alegre y bien pensada, a la vez amplia y exageradamente específica, de distintas épocas y todas partes del mundo. ¿Cómo te sientes hoy? ¿Tu corazón tiembla con impaciencia? ¿Sientes el estómago tenso de los nervios? ¿Te estás enamorando? ¿Tienes la piel de gallina? ¿Te sientes ansioso con iktsuarpok o lleno de nakhes? Investigaciones recientes sugieren que solo existen seis emociones básicas, pero si eso te hace sentir inquieto, receloso y quizá un poco desvalido, el Atlas de las emociones humanas es para ti. En este libro singular podrás viajar a lo largo del mundo y a través del tiempo, aprendiendo cómo distintas culturas han articulado las experiencias humanas, adquiriendo a la par nuevos y fascinantes conocimientos sobre ti mismo. Desde lo familiar (ira) hasta lo extraño (zal), cada entrada entretenida e informativa, en orden alfabético, revela las sorprendentes conexiones y los increíbles hechos detrás de nuestra vida emocional. Ya sea que busques la palabra perfecta para resumir esa sensación acogedora que tienes al estar en interiores en una noche fría de invierno, rodeado de amigos y buena comida (lo que los neerlandeses llaman gezelligheid), o te preguntes cómo evolucionó la nostalgia de ser una enfermedad fatal hasta convertirse en una autoindulgencia disfrutable, Tiffany Watt Smith recurre a la historia, la antropología, la ciencia, el arte, la literatura, la música y la cultura popular para darte las respuestas. Al leer el Atlas de las emociones humanas descubrirás sentimientos que no sabías que tenías (como la basorexia, la necesidad repentina de besar a alguien) y obtendrás perspectivas inesperadas de por qué te sientes como te sientes. Además, ¿no te da curiosidad saber qué significa nginyiwarrarringu? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A thoughtful, gleeful encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world. How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes? Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, The Book of Human Emotions is for you. In this unique book, you’ll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way. From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives. Whether you’re in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter’s night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers. In reading The Book of Human Emotions, you’ll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren’t you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?

The potential of storytelling as a research tool for enhancing the understanding of knowledge creation, acquisition and conversion into innovation and innovative business activities is the methodological underpinning of this book's narrative approach. The subtitle comes from Lynceus, one of the Argonauts who accompanied Jason to Colchis in his quest to find the Golden Fleece, who was said to have excellent sight. Among the various interpretations of the meaning of the Fleece, one version highlights the importance of discovery to innovation by voyaging to 'terrae incognitae' (unknown lands). This book is a narrative of a fictional voyage to the 'terra incognita' of Innoland the island of innovation and other mental travels that make sense of events and actions which spur innovation. Stories of Innovation for the Millennial Generation is written for Millennials willing to assimilate and grow dynamic, innovation-driven capabilities which lead to the creation of high-impact startups.

Courtney looked at her small, drab room and sighed. Her dolls sat in a corner along with her warrior princess outfit, sword, and shield. She spent countless hours playing with these toys, one moment giving tea to her dolls and the next fighting her friends as the warrior princess. While her real world life had become a much better place since she had visited Elysia every night, she still missed her earlier childhood when she and both her parents spent so much time together. She lived in a happy world then, one filled with family parties, trips to the movies and parks, and just time spent quietly together. Then, the anger and the darkness came. Her father and mother, suddenly lost their jobs, and the arguments started soon after. Her mom found work at another company, but her dad did not find a new job. Then one day after a long argument the police came and took her dad away. Courtney had seen him only once from afar since that terrible day. In her mind, she journeyed back to this time. Courtney, lay in her bed, waiting for sleep to come. Just a few months ago, Courtney had been able to fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. When sleep finally came this night, Courtney found herself in front of an elaborate wrought-iron gate with a large sign reading "Elysia" set amid the swirling pieces of iron. The sun shone very brightly, birds sang happily, and sweet flower smells escaped from the spaces between the iron bars of the fence. The place looked very much like illustrations in her books, but instead of being pictures on a page or the more fuzzy parts of the dreams she remembered, this place seemed very real to her, as real as the life she ordinarily led. Even in her eleven-year-old mind, Courtney knew this place could not exist, but nonetheless she stood here.

Cree, a member of the Algonquian family of languages, is nationally recognized as the most widely spoken Canadian native language. The newly revised Spoken Cree, Level II explores the spoken and written language in the cultural context of a Northern Cree village. Spoken Cree, Level II is the intermediate volume of a three-level Cree language course. This volume builds on the fundamental knowledge of the Cree language established in Spoken Cree, Level I. From the weather to a wedding, tea breaks to trapping, Level II enriches Cree language proficiency in everyday situations. In addition to sections devoted to developing speaking and listening skills in conversation, Level II provides exercises in syllabic writing. There are 18 new lessons. Based on the Swampy Cree (N-Dialect) and Moose Cree (L-Dialect) spoken on the West Coast of James Bay, C. Douglas Ellis’s Spoken Cree has become the authoritative work on the Cree language since its original release in 1963. Spoken Cree, Level II is an essential resource and teaching tool for everyone interested in the Cree language.
