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.

Bengtsson's hero, Red Orm—canny, courageous, and above all lucky—is only a boy when he is abducted from his Danish home by the Vikings and made to take his place at the oars of their dragon-prowed ships. Orm is then captured by the Moors in Spain, where he is initiated into the pleasures of the senses and fights for the Caliph of Cordova. Escaping from captivity, Orm washes up in Ireland, where he marvels at those epicene creatures, the Christian monks, and from which he then moves on to play an ever more important part in the intrigues of the various Scandinavian kings and clans and dependencies. Eventually, Orm contributes to the Viking defeat of the army of the king of England and returns home an off-the-cuff Christian and a very rich man, though back on his native turf new trials and tribulations will test his cunning and determination. Packed with pitched battles and blood feuds and told throughout with wit and high spirits, Bengtsson's book is a splendid adventure that features one of the most unexpectedly winning heroes in modern fiction.

With A Furious Sky, Eric Jay Dolin has created a vivid, sprawling account of our encounters with hurricanes, from the nameless storms that threatened Columbus's New World voyages to the destruction wrought in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Weaving a story of shipwrecks and devastated cities, of heroism and folly, Dolin introduces a rich cast of unlikely heroes and puts us in the middle of the most devastating storms of the past, none worse than the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, which killed at least 6,000 people, the highest toll of any natural disaster in American history. Dolin draws on a vast array of sources as he melds American history, as it is usually told, with the history of hurricanes, showing how these tempests frequently helped determine the nation's course. Hurricanes, it turns out, prevented Spain from expanding its holdings in North America beyond Florida in the late 1500s, and they also played a key role in shifting the tide of the American Revolution against the British in the final stages of the conflict. As he moves through the centuries, following the rise of the United States despite the chaos caused by hurricanes, Dolin traces the corresponding development of hurricane science, from important discoveries made by Benjamin Franklin to the breakthroughs spurred by the necessities of World War II and the Cold War.

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.

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

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

Description

El libro de cabecera para todos aquellos que quieran entender cómo funciona su metabolismo y cómo ponerlo a trabajar a su favor. A todos nos gusta comer. Pero algo estamos haciendo mal, y cada día peor. Confundidos por la industria alimentaria, la publicidad, las fake news gastronómicas y los consejos nutricionales de familiares bienintencionados, con cada bocado tomamos decisiones nefastas que nos enferman, nos engordan y nos roban energía. ¿Cómo detener esta espiral? ¿A quién creer y a quién no? ¿Cómo cambiar de hábitos sin volvernos rígidos y aburridos? En este libro, el célebre doctor Carlos Jaramillo ofrece respuestas contundentes a esas preguntas y plantea que la clave para un peso óptimo y una salud plena está en el metabolismo. Entender qué es, cómo opera y qué podemos hacer para que funcione a nuestro favor es fundamental. Con humor, ciencia y sencillez, el doctor Jaramillo nos propone emprender nuestra propia sanación metabólica a partir de los mejores medicamentos: los alimentos. Si sabemos elegirlos, combinarlos, y entendemos cuándo deberíamos (o no) incluirlos en nuestra dieta habremos dado un enorme paso hacia una vida mejor.
