Me ha encantado.»Fiebre Lectora En los blogs...«O Dios mío, pedazo de sorpresa me llevé con esta novela. Otro tipo de fantasía que nunca había visto en la que magia y tecnología se entrelazan, una trama que mezcla desde de truculentos asesinatos y guerras hasta problemáticas de instituto. Una primera parte de saga que me ha encantado y que se merece estar, por supuesto, en el Top 2.»Sebas G. Mouret, El coleccionista de Mundos
La segunda vida de Bree Tanner (Saga Crepúsculo #Volumen)
by Stephenie Meyer«Desconecté el cerebro. Era el momento de cazar. Respiré profundamente y atraje el aroma de la sangre del interior de los humanos allá abajo. A quién ibas a dar caza era el tipo de decisión que tenías que tomar antes de olfatear a tu presa.» La segunda vida de Bree Tanner es la fascinante historia de este vampiro y del lado más oscuro del mundo en el que habita. La novela recrea el nacimiento del nuevo ejército de vampiros que tiene como única misión ir al encuentro de la indefensa Bella Swan y de la indestructible familia Cullen. «Esta novela ha sido para mí una sorpresa tan grande como para todo el mundo. Cuando comencé a trabajar en ella, mi idea era hacer un simple ejercicio que me ayudara a examinar el otro lado de Eclipse, que se estaba editando en ese momento. Mientras escribía esta pequeña historia, se me ocurrió que podría incluirla en mi web como regalo para todos los fans. Después, una vez que empecé a trabajar en Saga Crepúsculo: la Guía Oficial de Fans, pensé que sería un buen material para este libro. Finalmente, la historia del nuevo vampiro se hizo tan extensa que se convirtió en una novela.»Stephenie Meyer Bree Tanner no solo es una figura prominente en Eclipse (Saga Crepúsculo 3), sino que también lo es en la película basada en este volumen de la saga, producida por Summit Entretainment. «Stephenie Meyer fue muy generosa permitiéndome leer el extracto de esta novela mientras preparábamos la película», dice el director David Slade. «Disfruté a fondo de esta novela, que además nos sirvió como fuente de inspiración para encontrar las localizaciones de las escenas y comenzar el rodaje. Creo que los fans van a deleitarse con el nacimiento de un vampiro, sus fascinantes características y su propia historia.» La «Saga Crepúsculo», en la que se incluyen los títulos Crepúsculo, Luna nueva, Eclipse, Amanecer, La segunda vida de Bree Tanner y la Guía ilustrada oficial, ha vendido ya cerca de 155 millones de copias en todo el mundo y más de 3 millones de ejemplares solo en España.

Seized by the Sun: The Life and Disappearance of World War II Pilot Gertrude Tompkins
by James W. UreOf the 38 Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) confirmed or presumed dead in World War II, only one—Gertrude "Tommy" Tompkins—is still missing. On October 26, 1944, the 32-year-old fighter plane pilot lifted off from Mines Field in Los Angeles. She was never seen again.Seized by the Sun is the story of a remarkable woman who overcame a troubled childhood and the societal constraints of her time to find her calling flying the fastest and most powerful airplane of World War II. It is also a compelling unsolved mystery.Born in 1912 to a wealthy New Jersey family, Gertrude's childhood was marked by her mother's bouts with depression and her father's relentless search for a cure for the debilitating stutter that afflicted Gertrude throughout her life. Teased and struggling in school, young Gertrude retreated to a solitary existence. As a young woman she dabbled in raising goats and aimlessly crisscrossed the globe in an attempt to discover her purpose.As war loomed in Europe, Gertrude met the love of her life, a Royal Air Force pilot who was killed flying over Holland. Telling her sister that she "couldn't stop crying, so she focused on learning to fly," Gertrude applied to join the newly formed Women's Air Force Service Pilots. She went on to become such a superior pilot that she was one of only 126 WASPs selected to fly fighter planes. After her first flight in the powerful P-51 Mustang, her stutter left her for good.Gertrude's sudden disappearance remains a mystery to this day. Award-winning author Jim Ure leads readers through Gertrude's fascinating life; provides a detailed account of the WASPs' daily routines, training, and challenges; and describes the ongoing search for Gertrude's wreck and remains. The result of years of research and interviews with Gertrude's family, friends, and fellow WASPs, Seized by the Sun is an invaluable addition to any student's or history buff's bookshelf.

A Self-Assessment Library: Insights in Your Skills, Abilities and Interests (second edition)
by Stephen P. Robbins"The Self-Assessment Library 2.0 has been created to help you to learn more about yourself so that you might become "enlightened." It draws on numerous instruments that have been developed by behavioral researchers that tap into your skills, abilities, and interests. This new edition has eight instruments that were not included in the first version; and I deleted four from the first edition that user feedback indicated were not very effective. Additionally, in response to user comments, the interpretation sections have been expanded. They now describe underlying concepts in greater detail and provide more elaborated discussions of what results mean. Here's a summary of changes you'll find in this second edition: - Four tests have been deleted and eight new ones added. - A matrix for relating tests to management and OB topics has been added. - Tests which assume current working experience are now identified. - Approximate quantitative cut-off scores, when not included by the tests' authors, have been provided to help students better understand the meaning of their results. - Where appropriate, remedial actions or references have been suggested to help students improve areas of weakness. "This Library of behavioral questionnaires has been designed to supplement a wide range of college courses. These include: Introduction to Management, Organizational Behavior, Supervision, Interpersonal Skills, Introduction to Business, Careers in Business, Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and Social Psychology. It works best when questionnaires are completed separately (rather than doing the whole set at one time) and when they're completed in sync with text readings on complementary topics."

Nicolás Caraveo, a 17-year-old transgender boy from Wisconsin, has no interest in the city’s glamor. Going to New York is all about establishing himself as a young professional, which could set up his future—and his life as a man—and benefit his family.Nick rents a small house in West Egg from his 18-year-old cousin, Daisy Fabrega, who lives in fashionable East Egg near her wealthy fiancé, Tom—and Nick is shocked to find that his cousin now goes by Daisy Fay, has erased all signs of her Latine heritage, and now passes seamlessly as white.Nick’s neighbor in West Egg is a mysterious young man named Jay Gatsby, whose castle-like mansion is the stage for parties so extravagant that they both dazzle and terrify Nick. At one of these parties, Nick learns that the spectacle is all meant to impress a girl from Jay’s past—Daisy. And he learns something else: Jay is also transgender.As Nick is pulled deeper into the glittery culture of decadence, he spends more time with Jay, aiming to help his new friend reconnect with his lost love. But Nick's feelings grow more complicated when he finds himself falling hard for Jay's openness, idealism, and unfounded faith in the American Dream.Praise for Self-Made Boys:"Anna-Marie McLemore cracks the Gatsby story wide open, breathing fresh life into these familiar characters with wisdom, honesty, and real tenderness.
