About
En Alentia Editorial promovemos un nuevo concepto de edición que nos distingue diametralmente de otras editoriales por ser el más comprometido y compenetrado con la figura del autor. Sabemos que es lo importante y por ello trabajamos duro por y para él.
Una vez aceptado su manuscrito, comienza nuestro trabajo y ahí es donde nos distinguimos de los demás. Nuestra manera de entender la edición es como un trabajo en equipo con el autor. Desde el principio trabajamos mano a mano con él y lo involucramos en todas las fases del proceso de edición de su novela.
Para nosotros cada autor es diferente y por eso todos los libros que editamos son distintos. Nuestro aspecto diferenciador es la proximidad y nuestro trato cercano.
Uno de nuestros principales objetivos es facilitarles la entrada al sector editorial a aquellos escritores que desean hacer llegar sus historias a los lectores y que su paso por Alentia sea la primera parada en su camino.
Para nosotros la calidad de los libros es fundamental y por eso nuestra labor de edición es exhaustiva. Pese a que nos gustaría darle una oportunidad a todos los autores, nuestros lectores profesionales son nuestro primer filtro de selección de manuscritos.
Una vez aceptado el manuscrito, éste se somete a una revisión orto-tipográfica y de estilo para que el resultado final sea perfecto. Concluida esa fase, y porque sabemos que una imagen vale más que mil palabras, todo nuestro equipo busca la estética adecuada a ese futuro libro diseñando portadas de lo más atractivo.
Como sabemos que quien lee tiene que disfrutar, nuestra selección de títulos y autores es de la máxima calidad así como los materiales que utilizamos para darle apariencia física al libro.
Cuando creamos nuestro sello editorial lo hicimos pensando en él como el perfecto trampolín para que los autores noveles diesen sus primeros pasos. Por ello desde el principio les ayudaremos y les guiaremos; desde el primer momento hasta el último. Si lo que quieres hacer es empezar, ¿por qué no empezar por Alentia?

Description
<p>“<em>We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(</em>Teilhard de Chardin<em>)</em></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;"><em>Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God </em> is as layered as a French cassoulet, as diverting, satisfying and as rich. Each reader will spoon this book differently. On the surface it seems to be a simple and light-hearted poetic journey through the history of Western thought, dominantly scientific, but enriched with painting and music. Beneath that surface is the sauce of a new evolutionary idea, involution; the informing of all matter by consciousness, encoded and communicating throughout the natural world. A book about the cathedral of consciousness could have used any language to paint it, but science is perhaps most in need of new vision, and its chronology is already familiar.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The author offers a bold alternative vision of both science and creation: she suggests that science has been incrementally the recovery of memory, the memory of evolution/involution</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">.</em></p><p>“<em> Involution proposes that humans carry within them the history of the universe, which is (re)discovered by the individual genius when the time is ripe. All is stored within our DNA and awaits revelation. Such piecemeal revelations set our finite lives in an eternal chain of co-creation and these new leaps of discovery are compared to mystical experience</em>” (From a reviewer)</p><p>Each unique contributor served the collective and universal return to holism and unity. Thus the geniuses of the scientific journey, like the spiritual visionaries alongside, have threaded the rosary of science with the beads of inspiration, and through them returned Man to his spiritual nature and origin.</p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The separation between experience and the rational intellect of science has, by modelling memory as theory, separated its understanding from the consciousness of all, and perceives mind and matter as separate, God and Man as distinct. This work is a dance towards their re-unification: Saints and scientists break the same bread.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">All of time and all the disciplines of science are needed for the evidence. Through swift (and sometimes sparring) Cantos of dialogue between Reason and Soul, Philippa Rees takes the reader on a monumental journey through the history of everything – with the evolution of man as one side of the coin and involution the other. The poetic narrative is augmented by learned and extensive footnotes offering background knowledge which in themselves are fascinating. In effect there are two books, offering a right and left brain approach. The twin spirals of a DNA shaped book intertwine external and internal and find, between them, one journey, Man’s recovery of Himself., and (hopefully) the Creation’s recovery of a nobler Man.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">From the same review “</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">The reader who finishes the book will not be the same as the one who began it. New ideas will expand the mind but more profoundly, the deep, moving power of the verse will affect the heart.</em></p><p><em>(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)</em></p><p> </p>
