Roots
Kathleen Dean Moore · Barlin Books
In a world where our roots seem to come loose easily, and the sense of belonging is blurred at the slightest, Reading this essay reminds us of the deep ties that anchor us to what is truly important.. Roots It is an invitation to calm, to look differently and to recognize in the natural, not just a landscape, but a mirror of what we are. Another essential title from our friends at Barlin.

Girl against girl
Sophie Gilbert · K.O books.
This book hurts my teenage self.: takes us to movies like American Pie, to the beginnings of internet pornography, Britney Spears with her schoolgirl appearance. It hurts because this exhaustive review of popular culture uncovers how this misogyny was the germ of the current setbacks, but it also sheds light to neutralize the attacks of the present.

The flag on the summit
Pablo Batalla Cueto · Captain Swing
Although the chapters are of uneven interest, The flag on the summit collect exciting stories, unknown and revealing of mountaineers of all kinds and conditions to the conquest of the great peaks of humanity. Starting from the premise that mountaineering is a political activity per se —linked to the neoliberal myth of the self-sufficient individual, to European nationalism and British imperialism—, Pablo Batalla Cueto tells us about the patriotism that pushed Europeans into the coronation race, one of the first women to conquer the summits “alone” (meaning “without any man”, despite being a group of eight), of Hitler's obsession with scoring Nanga Parbat for the splendor of the Aryan race, of blind climber Erik Weihnmayer climbing Aconcagua in the middle of a storm, of the forced mountaineering that the maquis practiced after the Civil War, or the great screw-up of the Sherpas who conquered Chomolungma for the first time (the Tibetan name for Everest) in front of the British embassy in protest at being treated like animals. Western mountaineering is not understood without Sherpas carrying forty-kilo packs on their backs, who are never mentioned, neither by name nor at all. S.M.
