For nearly three decades, the Nobel
Prize-winning economist Robert W. Fogel and
a small clutch of colleagues have assiduously researched what the size and
shape of the human body say about economic and social changes throughout
history, and vice versa. Their research has spawned not only a new branch of
historical study but also a provocative theory that technology has sped human
evolution in an unprecedented way during the past century.!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition
