156 emociones que has sentido, que no sabes si has sentido, o que nunca antes has podido nombrar en tu idioma.

Una enciclopedia de emociones alegre y bien pensada, a la vez amplia y exageradamente específica, de distintas épocas y todas partes del mundo.

¿Cómo te sientes hoy? ¿Tu corazón tiembla con impaciencia? ¿Sientes el estómago tenso de los nervios? ¿Te estás enamorando? ¿Tienes la piel de gallina? ¿Te sientes ansioso con iktsuarpok o lleno de nakhes? Investigaciones recientes sugieren que solo existen seis emociones básicas, pero si eso te hace sentir inquieto, receloso y quizá un poco desvalido, el Atlas de las emociones humanas es para ti.

En este libro singular podrás viajar a lo largo del mundo y a través del tiempo, aprendiendo cómo distintas culturas han articulado las experiencias humanas, adquiriendo a la par nuevos y fascinantes conocimientos sobre ti mismo. Desde lo familiar (ira) hasta lo extraño (zal), cada entrada entretenida e informativa, en orden alfabético, revela las sorprendentes conexiones y los increíbles hechos detrás de nuestra vida emocional.

Ya sea que busques la palabra perfecta para resumir esa sensación acogedora que tienes al estar en interiores en una noche fría de invierno, rodeado de amigos y buena comida (lo que los neerlandeses llaman gezelligheid), o te preguntes cómo evolucionó la nostalgia de ser una enfermedad fatal hasta convertirse en una autoindulgencia disfrutable, Tiffany Watt Smith recurre a la historia, la antropología, la ciencia, el arte, la literatura, la música y la cultura popular para darte las respuestas.

Al leer el Atlas de las emociones humanas descubrirás sentimientos que no sabías que tenías (como la basorexia, la necesidad repentina de besar a alguien) y obtendrás perspectivas inesperadas de por qué te sientes como te sientes. Además, ¿no te da curiosidad saber qué significa nginyiwarrarringu?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thoughtful, gleeful encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world.

How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes? Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, The Book of Human Emotions is for you.

In this unique book, you'll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way. From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives.

Whether you're in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter's night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers.

In reading The Book of Human Emotions, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren't you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?

Comprehensive?
Format: Paperback
I am a huge fan of Jay LaCroix and happy to support him by buying this book. That said, this book is in my opinion fully priced and not very comprehensive. My guess is it has more to do with Packt publishing and less to do with Jay. For sure, the content that is there is good and easy to consume ... as per Jay's style. And to be fair a truly comprehensive book would probably be another 1000 pages long. But a couple examples: cursory coverage of systemd:. eg discussion is on chron, crontab, etc instead of systemd timers. NTP server: if you have an Ubuntu server it would be great to set it up as your LAN NTP server for all your devices to sync time. Here is the coverage in this book "all servers should have the ntp package installed" Really? Do I need to disable systemd-timesyncd? Do I need to limit access by lan? How about setting up an Nginx reverse proxy for LAN services like unifi, pihole, etc? Sorry 3 pages of coverage. I am not trying to run down this book, only suggest that if you are looking for an authoritative comprehensive guide on Ubuntu 22.04, this probably will not be your only purchase. With all the foregoing, I would still buy this book if for no other reason than to support the author.

Highly recommended
Format: Kindle
Very well written. Everything is clear and well organized. It serves as a good overview of the Ubuntu server and also as a rich reference for specific arguments.

Very useful book on the latest Ubuntu distro
Format: Paperback
Disclaimer: Longtime follower and subscriber to Jay LaCroix’s YouTube site, Learn Linux TV. Several high quality authors (Jang, van Vugt, and Ghori the most well known) have been introducing new comers looking for more in-depth guides to Linux to the Red Hat world through their RHCSA Study Guides. The same cannot be said for Ubuntu. While books do exist for Ubuntu, they are too general in this reviewers opinion. A noted exception is Matthew Helmke. The other is Jay LaCroix. Mastering Ubuntu Server, 4th Edition by Jay LaCroix addresses Canonical’s latest Ubuntu release, 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish). Mr. LaCroix’s book follows the same outline as the RHCSA books of installation, user management, package management, navigating the file system through the terminal, command-line usage, up to and including storage and networking. These chapters lay a solid foundation for the rest of the book, and all but one chapter ends with a section for further viewing or reading which either point to Mr. LaCroix’s well produced videos on his YouTube channel, Ubuntu’s wiki, or to one of several informative websites. The YouTube videos are a good complement to the book, and also raise the bar for what we as readers should expect from other authors and publishers. The last part of the book was my favorite. Where as the RHCSA books are confined to the scope of the test they are aimed at, Mastering Ubuntu Server has no restrictions. Chapters covering the installation of databases (MariaDB), web servers (both Apache and Nginx), virtualization (QEMU/KVM), containerization (LXD and Docker), Ansible, AWS, and Terraform along with their corresponding videos (except for Terraform) create a comprehensive learning platform. Having worked through some of these chapters along with the videos, one does get up to speed much quicker in understanding while adding a new skill to their skillset. This is important in a competitive job market. I would recommend Mastering Ubuntu Server, 4 th Edition highly to anyone wanting something current for the 22.04 LTS distribution. Having said that, I do have some admittedly subjective criticisms. In the chapter on storage, the fdisk command is introduced for formatting and partitioning disks. In an industry where it is becoming less likely to install a hard drive of 2TB or less and manufacturers have 20TB hard drives in their product line, why not also introduce the gdisk command. My other criticism is directed at the virtualization chapter and its use of Virtual Machine Manager for KVM. I got my start working with KVM through the Virtual Machine Manager as well, but on the advice of a Systems Engineer I knew, transitioned to creating, configuring and managing all my VMs through the command-line only. I wished that the author pushed more in that direction. As I said, subjective opinions, and minor overall, for a well written book by Jay LaCroix.

I should have looked somewhere else.
Format: Paperback
Not very helpful. I wanted a book that would help guide me through setting up a web server. There should have been a more complete step by step guide comparing traditional methods with newer updated methods.
