Description

The war is over. The battle for love has just begun. As Marines, Cal and Jim depended on each other to survive bloodshed and despair in the Pacific. Relieved to put the horrors of war behind him, Jim went home to his apple orchard and a quiet life with his wife and children. Knowing Jim could never return his forbidden feelings, Cal hoped time and an ocean between them would dull the yearning for his best friend. But when Jim's wife dies, Cal returns to help. He doesn't know a thing about apple farming—or children—but he's determined to be there for Jim, even as the painful torch he carries blazes back to life. Jim is grateful for his friend's support as he struggles with buried emotions and dark wartime memories. Then Jim begins to see Cal in a new light, and their relationship deepens in ways neither expected. Can they build a life together as a family and find happiness in a world that would condemn them? Contains mature themes.

I loved an Alpha once. An unattainable Elite. A former V-Clan Prince. I thought we had a connection. A unique bond founded in our shared values and aspirations. Then he broke my heart with a few choice words. He doesn't want me? Fine. I'll find an Alpha who does. Which is how I end up on the stage being introduced as Candidate Thirteen of the Eligible Omega Mate program. Except, there's just one tiny problem-the Alpha who broke my heart is in charge of supervising the mating activities. Which means he's privy to every interview. Every date. Every kiss. How am I supposed to find an appropriate mate when he's watching me with those smoldering irises? Purring possessive comments in my ear... Growling at every male who looks my way... Prowling around my nest... It doesn't help that someone is attacking the Omegas in the program. Now my Alpha is even more territorial, his feral nature that much more potent. Because he's refusing to leave my side. And he's promised to do whatever it takes to protect me. Even if it means claiming me for himself. Author's Note: This is a standalone dark shifter romance with Omegaverse vibes-A, B, O dynamics with kn*tting, nesting, and biting. Check the trigger warnings in the introduction for more details.

Description

The riveting, secret story of the hundred-year intelligence war between Russia and the West with lessons for our new superpower conflict with China. Spies is the history of the secret war that Russia and the West have been waging for a century. Espionage, sabotage, and subversion were the Kremlin’s means to equalize the imbalance of resources between the East and West before, during, and after the Cold War. There was nothing “unprecedented” about Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. It was simply business as usual, new means used for old ends. The Cold War started long before 1945. But the West fought back after World War II, mounting its own shadow war, using disinformation, vast intelligence networks, and new technologies against the Soviet Union. Spies is an inspiring, engrossing story of the best and worst of mankind: bravery and honor, treachery and betrayal. The narrative shifts across continents and decades, from the freezing streets of St. Petersburg in 1917 to the bloody beaches of Normandy; from coups in faraway lands to present-day Moscow where troll farms, synthetic bots, and weaponized cyber-attacks being launched on the woefully unprepared West. It is about the rise and fall of eastern superpowers: Russia’s past and present and the global ascendance of China. Mining hitherto secret archives in multiple languages, Calder Walton shows that the Cold War started earlier than commonly assumed, that it continued even after the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, and that Britain and America’s clandestine struggle with the Soviet government provides key lessons for countering China today. This fresh reading of history, combined with practical takeaways for our current great power struggles, make Spies a unique and essential addition to the history of the Cold War and the unrolling conflict between the United States and China that will dominate the 21st century.

Description

In the spring of 1862, many Americans still believed that the Civil War, "would be over by Christmas." The previous summer in Virginia, Bull Run, with nearly 5,000 casualties, had been shocking, but suddenly came word from a far away place in the wildernesses of Southwest Tennessee of an appalling battle costing 23,000 casualties, most of them during a single day. It was more than had resulted from the entire American Revolution. As author Winston Groom reveals in this dramatic, heart-rending account, the Battle of Shiloh would singlehandedly change the psyche of the military, politicians, and American people—North and South—about what they had unleashed by creating a Civil War. In this gripping telling of the first "great and terrible" battle of the Civil War, Groom describes the dramatic events of April 6 and 7, 1862, when a bold surprise attack on Ulysses S. Grant's encamped troops and the bloody battle that ensued would alter the timbre of the war. The Southerners struck at dawn on April 6th, and Groom vividly recounts the battle that raged for two days over the densely wooded and poorly mapped terrain. Driven back on the first day, Grant regrouped and mounted a fierce attack the second, and aided by the timely arrival of reinforcements managed to salvage an encouraging victory for the Federals. Groom's deft prose reveals how the bitter fighting would test the mettle of the motley soldiers assembled on both sides, and offer a rehabilitation of sorts for Union General William Sherman, who would go on from the victory at Shiloh to become one of the great generals of the war. But perhaps the most alarming outcome, Groom poignantly reveals, was the realization that for all its horror, the Battle of Shiloh had solved nothing, gained nothing, proved nothing, and the thousands of maimed and slain were merely wretched symbols of things to come. With a novelist's eye for telling and a historian's passion for detail, context, and meaning, Groom brings the key characters and moments of battle to life. Shiloh is an epic tale, deftly told by a masterful storyteller.

Description

The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Herge the pen name of Georges Remi (1907 1983). The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtieme, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle on 10 January 1929. Set in a painstakingly researched world closely mirroring our own, Herge's Tintin series continues to be a favorite of readers and critics alike 80 years later. The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the bright but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other colorful supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont). Herge himself features in several of the comics as a background character; as do his assistants in some instances. The success of the series saw the serialized strips collected into a series of albums (24 in all), spun into a successful magazine and adapted for film and theatre. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in over 50 languages and more than 200 million copies of the books sold to date. The comic strip series has long been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Herge's signature ligne claire style. Engaging, well-researched plots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction. The stories within the Tintin series always feature slapstick humor, accompanied in later albums by sophisticated satire, and political and cultural commentary.

A "beautifully written travelogue" that draws on the latest scholarly research as well as a lifetime of exploration to light on the extraordinary Anasazi culture of the American Southwest (Entertainment Weekly). The greatest "unsolved mystery" of the American Southwest is the fate of the Anasazi, the native peoples who in the eleventh century converged on Chaco Canyon (in today's southwestern New Mexico) and built what has been called the Las Vegas of its day, a flourishing cultural center that attracted pilgrims from far and wide, a vital crossroads of the prehistoric world. The Anasazis' accomplishments -- in agriculture, in art, in commerce, in architecture, and in engineering -- were astounding, rivaling those of the Mayans in distant Central America.By the thirteenth century, however, the Anasazi were gone from Chaco. Vanished. What was it that brought about the rapid collapse of their civilization? Was it drought? pestilence? war? forced migration? mass murder or suicide? For many years conflicting theories have abounded. Craig Childs draws on the latest scholarly research, as well as on a lifetime of adventure and exploration in the most forbidding landscapes of the American Southwest, to shed new light on this compelling mystery.

Inteligencia emocional en la empresa de Daniel Goleman es un volumen de la colección «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, que reúne las ideas esenciales para el profesional y la empresa de hoy por los autores de referencia. --Edición en colaboración con Harvard Business Review-- ¿Qué distingue a los grandes líderes de los que son solo buenos? Según Daniel Goleman, no es el cociente intelectual o las aptitudes técnicas, sino la inteligencia emocional, cinco habilidades que permiten a los mejores líderes maximizar su rendimiento y el de sus seguidores: conciencia de uno mismo, autogestión , motivación, empatía y habilidad social. Y todos podemos mejorar esas aptitudes por medio de la persistencia, la práctica y las valoraciones de colegas o formadores. Muchos directivos suponen de forma equivocada que el estilo de liderazgo es consecuencia de la personalidad y no una elección estratégica. Hay seis estilos de liderazgo básicos y cada uno de ellos deriva de diferentes competencias de la inteligencia emocional. Cuantos más estilos domine un líder, mejor. Poder elegir entre los estilos autoritario, afiliativo, coercitivo, pionero, democrático y formativo cuando lo requieran las circunstancias genera el mejor clima en una organización y optimiza el negocio. Los «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, en colaboración con Harvard Business Review, permiten acceder a las grandes ideas de los autores de referencia que inspiran a directivos y profesionales. Este volumen reúne los textos «Liderazgo que da resultados» y «¿De qué está hecho un líder?» de Daniel Goleman, autor de Inteligencia emocional y El líder resonante crea más (Debolsillo, 2010), entre otras obras.

"When a typically closed-off Peg attempts online dating at Rose's strong urging, the experience plays out like an embarrassing mistake. At least, until she matches with Nolan Abercrombie -- intelligent, attractive, and a self-proclaimed dog lover. The two share an instant connection that has Peg cautiously excited to finally bring someone special into her busy world of Standard Poodles and conformation shows. Before Peg can admit that Rose was right and let down her walls for the budding romance, a terrible accident claims Nolan's life. As details about his background and tragic death come to light, Peg has a serious hunch that someone successfully plotted to kill her first real date in decades . . . With suspects galore and a slew of puzzling clues to dig through, Peg and Rose team up to solve a dangerous mystery unfolding before their eyes. The question is: Can the unlikely duo turn their radically different personalities into an advantage as they scramble to ID the guilty culprit -- or will they manage to work against each other and find themselves precisely where a meticulous murderer wants them to be?"--

Uno de los grandes fenómenos editoriales de la última década. Un long-seller publicado en 41 países que ha cautivado a la crítica y a 8 millones de lectores en todo el mundo. TRES MUJERES. TRES CONTINENTES. TRES DESTINOS ENTRELAZADOS. INDIA. En Badlapur, la intocable Smita sobrevive recogiendo los excrementos de una casta superior. Resignada a su condición, está decidida en cambio a que su hija no siga sus pasos, aunque para ello tenga que desafiar las normas establecidas. ITALIA. A Giulia le encanta trabajar en el taller familiar, el último de Palermo que confecciona pelucas con pelo auténtico. Cuando su padre sufre un accidente y Giulia descubre que el negocio se tambalea, lo afronta con valentía y determinación. CANADÁ. Sarah es una abogada de éxito en Montreal que lo ha sacrificado todo por su carrera. Un día, tras caer desmayada en el transcurso de un juicio, comprende que su vida ha dado un vuelco y que deberá escoger lo que de verdad le importa. Smita, Giulia y Sarah no se conocen, pero tienen en común el empuje y el tesón de las mujeres que rechazan lo que el destino les ha reservado y se rebelan contra las circunstancias que las oprimen. Como hilos invisibles, sus caminos se entrelazan, formando una trenza que simboliza la voluntad inquebrantable de vivir con esperanza e ilusión. UN ÉXITO INTERNACIONAL QUE NO HA DEJADO DE GANAR LECTORES DESDE SU PUBLICACIÓN La crítica ha dicho... «Los tres mechones que configuran la trenza y responden por Smita, Giulia y Sarah, tan distintos como el color de los cabellos y los tonos de las pieles, tienen en común tres formas de represión que la hacen universal. En esa variabilidad que nada varía, reside su cualidad más poderosa y dramática. Y aumentan el valor de la historia que se cuenta.» Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/s, La Vanguardia «Fácil de leer, absorbente, fresco, el libro encierra además un hermoso mensaje de carácter feminista. [...] La sencillez y la contención del lenguaje contribuyen a que La trenza sea una lectura no sólo muy ágil, sino también entretenida y estimulante.» Héctor Porto, La Voz de Galicia «Aquí se cuenta la vida de tres mujeres. No son nada épico, no hay aquí más aventura que la del día a día. Nada en sus vidas las une, excepto un entorno que, en distinta medida, las agrede, las limita, las ata. [...] Tres historias sencillas, comunes, que se leen de una sentada.» Elena Sierra, El Correo «Una novela repleta de coraje y esperanza, que aúna experiencias femeninas tan conmovedoras como dispares a través de esa materia natural que crece en nuestras cabezas, un atributo hondamente vinculado a la condición de mujer.» María Dueñas, Elle «Una narración vibrante y conmovedora, que despierta la atención del lector desde el principio hasta el final de la novela. Unos personajes que te llegan muy hondo, muy empáticos y tres historias paralelas hilvanadas con precisión y maestría. Una fábula contemporánea de tres mujeres valientes que luchan contra la injusticia y la calamidad.» Rosa Martí, Esquire

Description

Tras el éxito de El asesinato de Sócrates (Finalista Premio Planeta 2016), Marcos Chicot regresa con una extraordinaria novela que nos traslada a los años más apasionantes de la Grecia Clásica. La ateniense Altea, una de las más brillantes discípulas de Platón, no sabe que tiene a su peor enemigo en su propia casa, y que tanto ella como el bebé que espera se encuentran en peligro. Por su parte, su amigo y maestro Platón arriesga la vida para intentar hacer realidad su gran proyecto: un gobierno en el que impere la justicia en lugar de la corrupción, y donde la razón se imponga a la retórica vacía de los demagogos. Un gobierno ideal que traería la paz a los pueblos y en el que las mujeres podrían llegar a gobernar. Como telón de fondo, el surgimiento de una nueva potencia liderada por el invencible general Epaminondas, uno de los mayores genios militares de todos los tiempos, pone en juego la supervivencia tanto de Esparta como de la propia Atenas. Tensión, intriga, traiciones y un amor que desafía a su época confluyen en una novela que recrea de modo impecable el tapiz de la Grecia Clásica y las ideas revolucionarias de Platón, el filósofo más influyente en la historia de la humanidad. «Sin duda lo que destaca por encima de todo, lo que más me gusta de las tramas de Marcos Chicot, son los personajes femeninos que crea. Con El asesinato de Pitágoras fue Ariadna y con El asesinato de Platón es Altea, ambas mujeres fuertes, valientes, carismáticas, mujeres que destacan en un mundo de hombres y para hombres, adelantadas a su tiempo y con una personalidad arrolladora. Una novela muy recomendable para todo tipo de lectores porque tiene de todo. Mi nota esta vez, como no podía ser de otra manera, la máxima.» Marian lee más libros
