ANDALUCÍA;

LANDSCAPES OF EMPOWERMENT

A publication, using a crowdfunding (micropatronage) campaign at the end of 2015, showing the most varied scenery of the contrasted Andalusian geography. The work contains 80 pictures, each accompanied by famous quotes from philosophers, poets, writers and activists. The portrayed places are at the same time human and natural reserves, scenarios that facilitate the encounter with oneself, with the inner strength and one´s deeper and more creative side, they are areas where to retrieve being the main character of one´s own life, where to experience the comfortable sense of belonging to all that comes through the senses, where to load or regain energy or to heal wounds and reinforce personal projects, in other words, landscapes of empowerment that will eventually be reflected in changes in the life of each one as in society.

The book includes the valuable collaboration of José María Montero Sandoval, prestigious journalist on environmental issues and known among others by directing the "Espacio Protegido" and "Tierra y Mar" of Canal Sur Tv programs as by its numerous publications and documentaries, whose texts describe the portrayed places.
