Libro: The Darkness Manifesto (978-1-5291-1610-6) de Eklf, Johan (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. The Darkness Manifesto urges us to cherish darkness for the sake of the environment, our own wellbeing, and all life on earth. Entire ecosystems rely on natural darkness to flourish, from bats and keen-eyed owls capering across the starry sky to the bioluminescent creatures of the deep. But constant illumination has made light pollution a major threat. By extending our day, humans have disrupted the circadian rhythms necessary to sustain all living things. The Darkness Manifesto lifts night's veil to reveal the domino effect of damage we inflict by keeping the lights on- insects failing to reproduce, plants left unpollinated, countless hunting and migratory patterns eroded. Eye-opening and ultimately encouraging, this book offers simple steps that can benefit ourselves and the planet. 'Powerful ... A clarion call for change' New Statesman 'A pleasure to read ... A paean of praise for natural darkness' Financial Times , Book of the Year 'A must-read for all who have an interest in the health of our planet' Russell Foster, author of Life Time 0

Libro: This Other Eden (978-1-5291-5254-8) de Harding, Paul (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers, a novel inspired by the true story of Malaga Island, an isolated island off the coast of Maine that became one of the first racially integrated towns in the Northeast. In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeys' descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland. During the tumultuous summer of 1912, Matthew Diamond, a retired, idealistic but prejudiced schoolteacher-turned-missionary, disrupts the community's fragile balance through his efforts to educate its children. His presence attracts the attention of authorities on the mainland who, under the influence of the eugenics-thinking popular among progressives of the day, decide to forcibly evacuate the island, institutionalize its residents, and develop the island as a vacation destination. Beginning with a hurricane flood reminiscent of the story of Noah's Ark, the novel ends with yet another Ark. In prose of breathtaking beauty and power, Paul Harding brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters: Iris and Violet McDermott, sisters raising three orphaned Penobscot children; Theophilus and Candace Larks and their brood of vagabond children; the prophetic Zachary Hand to God Proverbs, a Civil War veteran who lives in a hollow tree; and more. A spellbinding story of resistance and survival, This Other Eden is an enduring testament to the struggle to preserve human dignity in the face of intolerance and injustice"-- 0

Encuadernación: Tapa dura Estuche que contiene dos libros de historietas encuadernados en rústica de 320 páginas interiores en blanco y negro más cubiertas que contiene la traducción de los libros originales Maus Volume I: My Father Bleeds History y Maus Volume II: And Here My Troubles Began publicados en USA en 1986 y 1991. Volumen único. UNA EDICIóN ESPECIAL- ESTUCHE PARA CONMEMORAR EL 40 ANIVERSARIO DE MAUS. La novela gráfica que ha hecho historia ganadora del premio Pulitzer. La edición íntegra con el formato original de dos tomos. Incluye un cuadernillo inédito de dieciséis páginas diseñado por el propio autor. Maus es la historia de un superviviente de Auschwitz, Vladek Spiegelman narrada a su hijo Art, el autor del libro. Pero además, en Maus el autor también realiza un retrato de su padre en la actualidad (en el momento en que se entrevista con él para que le relate sus recuerdos de la guerra) así como de su difícil y tensa relación con él. En Maus, Spiegelman va más allá del Holocausto para instalarse en la psicología del superviviente en un intento de deshacer la maraña de su relación paterno-filial, de la sombra de una madre suicida y del fantasma de un hermano santificado al que nunca conoció. Hay que mencionar que en Maus los personajes se nos muestran con rasgos faciales de animales, característica que se usa con fines narrativos; así, por ejemplo, los judíos son presentados ratones, mientras que los nazis como gatos. Maus está considerado unánimemente por la crítica como uno de los mejores cómics de la historia. Además, se trata de uno de los escasos cómics que no sólo trascendido al gran público sino que lo hizo con un reconocimiento notable: recibió uno de los prestigiosos Premios Pulitzer en 1992, una beca de la Fundación Guggenheim y dió lugar a una exposición en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York. 1

Libro: More Than I Love My Life (978-1-5291-1394-5) de Grossman, David (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. An epic, deeply moving novel about the power of love and loving with courage - from the Man Booker International Prize-winning author of A Horse Walks into a Bar On a kibbutz in Israel in 2008, Gili is celebrating the ninetieth birthday of her grandmother Vera, the adored matriarch of a sprawling and tight-knit family. But festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Nina- the iron-willed daughter who rejected Vera's care; and the absent mother who abandoned Gili when she was still a baby. Nina's return to the family after years of silence precipitates an epic journey from Israel to the desolate island of Goli Otok, formerly part of Yugoslavia. It was here, five decades earlier, that Vera was held and tortured as a political prisoner. And it is here that the three women will finally come to terms with the terrible moral dilemma that Vera faced, and that permanently altered the course of their lives. More Than I Love My Life is a sweeping story about the power of love and loving with courage. A novel driven by faith in humanity even in our darkest moments, it asks us to confront our deepest held beliefs about a woman's duty to herself and to her children. 'Grossman's work resonates with emotional intelligence, humanity and truth' Irish Times 0

Their name is synonymous with American royalty. Their commitment to public service is legendary. But, for all the successes, the family has been blighted by assassinations, fatal accidents, drug and alcohol abuse and sex scandals. To this day, the Kennedys occupy a unique, contradictory place in the world's imagination: at once familiar and unknowable; charmed and cursed. The Kennedy Curse is a revealing, fascinating account of America's most famous family, as told by the world's most trusted storyteller. ________________________________ Also published as The House of Kennedy in the US.

Now I know how he feels as he crosses into non-fiction politics with this juicy and entertaining look at a political family that continues to wield power and influence. He's too good - it isn't fair!' JAKE TAPPER, CNN anchor and author of The Hellfire Club 0

Turn your inner voice from critic to coach As humans, we all have a special ability that is unique to our species- an inner voice. It helps us focus, achieve our goals and reflect on life's most joyful moments. But it can also be our biggest enemy, chewing over painful emotions and replaying embarrassments, hijacking our thoughts to run amok with 'chatter'. How does this source of wisdom turn into our biggest critic? And how can we take back control? These are the questions one of the world's leading experts on the conscious mind set out to answer twenty years ago, when he started on an audacious mission - to study the conversations we have with ourselves. In this hugely anticipated book, that expert, the award-winning neuroscientist and psychologist Ethan Kross, reveals the sheer power of the inner voice, and shows us that we all possess a set of tools for harnessing it. Hidden in plain sight, they are in the words we use and the stories we tell ourselves, in the conversations we have with our loved ones and in the habits we undertake when tackling our goals. They are even sometimes in our bizarre rituals and lucky charms. Fascinating, entertaining and full of original insights and tips, Chatter will change the conversations you have with yourself forever, and help you lead a happier, more productive life. 0
