UMBERTO ECO INÉDITO Y VISIONARIO

Un canto de amor a los libros y a su acumulación obsesiva, por «el escritor que cambió la cultura» (Corriere della Sera)

«Umberto Eco cambió nuestra mirada sobre los libros: imprescindibles, pequeños, frágiles, a veces criminales, casi siempre salvadores. Un maestro que nos enseñó a entrelazar la sabiduría y el juego con su estilo sagaz y lúdico, con su asombrosa inventiva y certera lucidez.» -Irene Vallejo

El libro es un seguro de vida, una pequeña anticipación de la inmortalidad.

El cerebro humano cuenta, desde el principio de los tiempos, con una memoria orgánica y otra mineral, grabada en piedras y tabletas de arcilla. Junto a ellas, de forma paralela, se ha desarrollado otra más profunda, silenciosa y revolucionaria: la memoria vegetal, impresa en papiros y en trapos hasta llegar al papel procedente del árbol que conocemos hoy. Su instrumento de supervivencia es el libro, objeto de amor y devoción durante siglos.

Umberto Eco, el «humanista integral», según Fernando Savater, dedica estos textos inéditos e iluminadores a los bibliófilos como él, a los futuros bibliófilos y a los que todavía no saben que lo son. Un libro para aprender, deslumbrarse, emocionarse y seguir leyendo siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

UMBERTO ECO UNEDITED AND VISIONARY

A song of love for books and their obsessive accumulation, by "the writer who changed culture" (Corriere della Sera)

'Umberto Eco changed our view of books: essential, small, fragile, sometimes criminal, almost always saviors. A teacher who taught us to intertwine wisdom and play with his shrewd and playful style, with his amazing inventiveness and accurate lucidity.' - Irene Vallejo

The book is life insurance, a little anticipation of immortality.

The human brain has, since the beginning of time, an organic and a mineral memory, engraved on stones and clay tablets. Along with them, in a parallel way, a more profound, silent and revolutionary one has developed: plant memory, printed on papyri and rags until it reaches the paper from the tree that we know today. His instrument of survival is the book, an object of love and devotion for centuries.

Umberto Eco, the 'integral humanist, ' according to Fernando Savater, dedicates these unedited and illuminating texts to bibliophiles like him, to future bibliophiles and to those who still don't know they are. A book to learn from, be dazzled by, get excited about and to always keep reading.

Essential To Read Before the Class
Format: Paperback
This book provides a good overview of what you'll need to know for your AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) course and assessment. If you plan to take that course this book is a no-brainer. You just have to buy it and read it. There are a few shortcomings: * The photos of how to tie the knots skip a lot and it is impossible to learn the knots from the book. * The photos of what not to do should be clearly labeled with a red cross bar or WRONG overlay on the photo. If you flip causally through the book and look at the photos some very wrong stuff is there and you have to read the text to know that it is not recommended. * The religious debate on anchor systems rages on. Should you set up a Joshua Tree System with Tether or a Backside System? I realize the AMGA doesn't want to pick sides and will say either is acceptable, but the book doesn't even try to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various anchor systems.

over all good book, quality pictures
Format: Paperback
this book will get you ready for the course, but there is a lot to learn outside of the book as well. Training and time is the only way to become truly proficient at the skills out lined in this book. over all good book, quality pictures.

Great for semi-experienced looking to build on knowledge.
Format: Paperback
Fantastic instructional manual if you already have some basic knowledge of anchors, ropework and climbing technique. It is written as an instructional manual for climbers looking to turn into guides so if you're brand new this probably isn't the best option for you.
