NOVEDADES

Architect Adams has long had a passion for design. His appreciation for how things are made had its genesis in his childhood experiences on a farm in Asheville, North Carolina. As a boy, Adams always had a pencil in hand, sketching for hours. Today, it is his understanding of craft and response to place that sets him apart. Informed by Adams’s deep knowledge of historic precedents, proportions, and details, the homes featured in this book are imbued with soul, whether it’s a charming house in the woods on the lake, a refined contemporary beachside retreat, or a traditional manor house in town. While the homes featured range in scale and style— Tudor, Arts and Crafts, French country, Southern farmhouse—Adams imbues each with natural materials such as bespoke architectural details in millwork and molding, arched doorways, and oversized windows. He brilliantly weaves wood, stone, copper, and other natural substances through the interiors to create an effect that casts a spell inside and out. These are houses that are grounded in the past, designed for the present, and intended to remain beautiful and functional over the long term.

Pro hockey star Ryan Price may be an enforcer, but off the ice he struggles with anxiety. Recently traded to Toronto, he’s determined to make a fresh start in the city’s dynamic LGBTQ+ Village. The last thing he expects to find in his new neighborhood is a blast from his past in the fabulous form of Fabian Salah. Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn’t stop him from being attracted to a certain burly ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn’t forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and the chemistry between them has only intensified. Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan’s guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits—and the most amazing sex—Ryan’s feeling something he hasn’t experienced in a long time: joy. But playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his body and mind, and a future with Fabian may mean hanging up his skates for good.

Con ocasión de los 800 años del nacimiento de santo Tomás de Aquino (1225), Oliver Keenan, profesor de Filosofía de la Universidad de Oxford, reivindica la figura del Aquinate no solo como un clásico imprescindible, sino como un pensador revolucionario cuya obra tiene una urgente relevancia en nuestra época. Su pensamiento, aunque anclado en la fe cristiana, no se impone como dogma, sino que dialoga con la razón, el arte, la filosofía y la experiencia humana. Keenan argumenta que Tomás sigue importando porque nos invita a comprender el mundo como una red viva de relaciones entre personas, naturaleza y Dios, en una era marcada por el aislamiento, el individualismo y el ruido ideológico. Lejos de ser un mero monumento arqueológico del pensamiento medieval, santo Tomás de Aquino ofrece hoy lucidez y orientación frente a la alienación, la fragmentación y la deshumanización que caracterizan nuestra vida contemporánea.
