El platonismo inspiró y revitalizó la vida intelectual y las artes de la Europa occidental durante siglos, a pesar de su frágil influencia durante la turbulenta Alta Edad Media. Uno de los aspectos mas importantes del platonismo es su relacion con las matematicas, en particular con la geometria. Parte de su gran originalidad reside en la creencia de que la naturaleza se comprende mejor a traves del medio abstracto y la medida, una intuicion que sento las bases de la ciencia.

Symmetry underlies almost every aspect of nature and our experience of the world, from physics and geometry to music and the arts.As much of interest to mathematicians as it is to artists, as relevant to physics as to architecture, symmetry underlies almost every aspect of nature and our experience of the world.Illustrated with old engravings and original work by the author, this book moves from church windows and mirror reflections to the deepest ideas of hidden symmetries in physics and geometry, music and the arts, left- and right-handedness.

Vanilla Breaks is the autobiographical story of one mans journey into the BDSM lifestyle, written as a means to cope with the stress of having been thrust into BDSM at the deep end. In addition, it is intended to help other people who may find themselves or their partners in a similar situation, and to let them know that they are not alone. While this work details the authors emotional turmoil as a teenager, which later reignited when he discovered his wife was exploring kink with another man (and how he dealt with that revelation), it is also very explicit in describing BDSM play scenes and sexual encounters.

A nuestro alrededor, y en nuestro propio cuerpo, la naturaleza dibuja roemas repetitivas tan variadas como caprichosas: las siluetas de las nubes, las grietas de un terreno reseco, los nervios de las hojas, las huellas dactilares... Pero ¿realmente son formas caprichosas y localizadas, o responden a patrones universales que una observacion atenta puede poner de manifiesto? Los antiguos filosofos orientales llamaron Li a la fuerza generadora de formas, y la ciencia moderna confirma cada vez mas la sabiduria oculta en sus milenarias conjeturas.b
