Moradores de la Luna
by Marcela Gutiérrez Bravo David EstesEn un desesperado intento por escapar de la destrucción, hace décadas, la humanidad se vio obligada a vivir debajo de la superficie terrestre, en las profundidades de la Tierra, creando una nueva sociedad llamada los Tres Reinos. Luego de que sus padres y hermana fueran abducidos por los Ejecutores, Adele, de diecisiete años, un miembro de la clase media de los Moradores de la Luna es, injustamente, sentenciada a vivir en prisión por los crímenes de traición de sus padres. Contra todo pronóstico, Adele debe escapar de la Pen y encontrar a su familia, mientras es perseguida por la demente máquina asesina llamada Rivet, quien trabaja para el Presidente. Ella es ayudada por otros reos, Tawni y Cole, cada uno de los cuales tiene secretos oscuros que es mejor que quedaran sin descubrir. Además de amigos, lo único que ella tiene a su favor es su patada giratoria y dos puños que han sido bien entrenados por su padre. Al otro lado del espectro social se encuentra Tristán, el hijo del Presidente y Morador del Sol. Su madre se ha ido. Él odia a su padre. Con el único apoyo de su sirviente y mejor amigo, Roc, abandona su privilegiada vida en el Reino del Sol, buscando hacer algo bueno con su problemática existencia. Cuando una guerra irrumpe en los Tres Reinos, Tristán se encuentra en medio de un conflicto que parece, misteriosamente, seguir a Adele quien trata de encontrar a su familia y descubrir el verdadero pasado de sus padres.

by Amy OlberdingIn this study, Olberding proposes a new theoretical model for reading the Analects. Her thesis is that the moral sensibility of the text derives from an effort to conceptually capture and articulate the features seen that are identified and admired pre-theoretically and thus prior to any conceptual criteria for virtue.

More About Paddington (Paddington Bear #2)
by Michael BondIn this new book about him, Paddington is still living with the Brown family in London and still filling their lives with near disasters that somehow manage to end up as almost triumphs. There is the time Paddington sets out to redecorate his room and imprisons himself in an indescribable chaos of paint and wallpaper, but at least he saves Mr. Brown the trouble of doing the job himself. Or the time he turns detective only to succeed in bagging a London policeman. With Paddington around, the traditional Guy Fawkes Day celebration takes on far more excitement than the usual fireworks. And when Paddington sets out to do his Christmas shopping, and ends up in a display window, nothing less than the entire department store is thrown into confusion. But his Christmas surprise for the Browns is more than recompense for the daily strain of coping with his good intentions. This book contains picture descriptions.
