La historia de los Targaryen cobra vida en esta obra magistral en la se que inspira la serie de HBO La Casa del Dragón, la precuela de Juego de Tronos. Siglos antes de que tuvieran lugar los acontecimientos que se relatan en «Canción de hielo y fuego», la casa Targaryen, la única dinastía de señores dragón que sobrevivió a la Maldición de Valyria, se asentó en la isla de Rocadragón.Aquí tenemos el primero de los dos volúmenes en el que el autor de Juego de tronos nos cuenta, con todo lujo de detalles, la historia de tan fascinante familia: empezando por Aegon I Targaryen, creador del icónico Trono de Hierro, y seguido por el resto de las generaciones de Targaryens que lucharon con fiereza por conservar el poder, y el trono, hasta la llegada de la guerra civil que casi acaba con ellos.¿Qué pasó realmente durante la Danza de dragones? ¿Por qué era tan peligroso acercarse a Valyria después de la Maldición? ¿Cómo era Poniente cuando los dragones dominaban los cielos? Estas, y otras muchas, son las preguntas a las que responde esta monumental crónica, narrada por un culto maestre de la Ciudadela, que anticipa el ya conocido universo de George R.R. Martin.Fuego y Sangre brindará a los lectores la oportunidad de tener otra visión de la fascinante historia de Poniente. Esta obra, magníficamente ilustrada con 80 láminas inéditas de Doug Wheatley, se convertirá, sin duda, en una lectura ineludible para todos los fans de la aclamada serie.La crítica ha dicho...«Fuego y Sangre es un libro brillante.»Sunday Times «Sin duda alguna podemos considerar a George R. R. Martin como el principal creador de mundos de fantasía de su generación ... la riqueza de detalles y las capas del universo que ha creado es extraordinaria, y abundan los sorprendentes giros narrativos.»Sunday Express«Una historia rica llena de matices, que hace aún más grande la maravilla que es ''Canción de hielo y fuego''. Muy disfrutable, y al nivel del mejor Martin... absolutamente imprescindible.»Juan Gómez-Jurado, ABC «Fuegoy Sangre ofrece un montón de emociones con el característico sello de la casa Martin.»Jacinto Antón, El País

A renowned Columbia Business School professor and cultural psychologist explains the deep roots of tribalism--and how great leaders harness our tribal psychology to move people and change cultures for the better.We've all heard pundits bemoan the rise of tribalism, but few have offered answers about how to manage our tribal psychology to create positive change. Now pioneering cultural psychologist and acclaimed Columbia Business School professor Michael Morris decodes tribalism in this erudite but accessible and hopeful book.Ours is the only species that lives in tribes, groups glued together by their distinctive cultures that can grow to a scale far beyond kith and kin. Morris argues that our psychology is wired by evolution in three distinctive ways to enable this. First, the peer instinct to mesh with those around us, to conform to what most people do. Second, the hero instinct to give to the group, to emulate those who are most respected. Third, the ancestor instinct to maintain tradition, to follow the ways of prior generations. These tribal instincts enable us to form shared goals and work as a team, to acquire specialized skills and innovate to improve them, and to transmit the accumulated pool of cultural knowledge onward to the next generation.Countries, churches, political parties, and companies are tribes, and tribal instincts explain our loyalties to them and the hidden ways that they affect our thoughts, our actions, and our identities. Rather than deriding tribal impulses for their irrationality, great leaders tap into them. For example, Lee Kuan Yew used government officials' peer instinct to cleanse the Singaporean port of corruption. Sallie Krawcheck leveraged hero instincts to fix the strained merger between patrician Merrill Lynch and plebian Bank of America. Coaches of dynastic sports teams like the NBA's Golden State Warriors and New Zealand rugby's All Blacks rouse ancestor instincts to lead their teams to glory.The most powerful way to move people is through their ties to tribes. Policymakers across the world have tapped into these instincts to reduce unhealthy habits of consumption, promote environmental conservation, and tackle many other problems that had resisted previously attempted remedies. And managers, teachers, and activists have channeled them to transform organizations.By weaving together deep research, current and historical events, and stories from business and politics, Morris offers a counterintuitive twist to how we think about tribalism, giving us the tools to address our own tribes in a new light.

Charles Bukowski es uno de los escritores más conocidos y celebrados de las letras estadounidenses contemporáneas. Nació en 1920 en Andernach, en Alemania, hijo de un soldado norteamericano y de una costurera alemana, y llegó a los Estados Unidos a los tres años. Creció en Los Ángeles, donde vivió durante más de cinco décadas. Publicó su primer relato en 1944 y sus primeros poemas en 1946. Falleció en San Pedro, California, el 9 de marzo de 1994 a los setenta y tres años, poco después de haber finalizado su última novela, Pulp. Desde lo irónico del título hasta el viraje hacia una estructura poética más narrativa que las colecciones anteriores, Colgado en la tournefortia es un libro atípico en el canon bukowskiano. Bukowski se aleja del contenido sexual y obsceno de los poemarios previos, las pinceladas líricas se desvanecen casi por completo y dan paso a unos versos más directos que nunca. Lo que se mantiene inmutable es un sentido del humor cáustico que a Bukowski le sirve para reírse de todo y de todos, en especial de sí mismo. En varios de los poemas, aparece como un bufón venido a menos atrapado en la tragicomedia de la vida. Colgado en la tournefortia fue el primer libro publicado fruto de la vida plácida de un Bukowski que estrenaba la década de los sesenta. Los primeros poemas escritos en su nueva casa de San Pedro, en Los Ángeles, anuncian con su sempiterno sentido del humor que el sosiego y el apoltronamiento en realidad enmascaran una cotidianeidad de lo más cruenta. Bukowski teclea y teclea, pero no deja de mirar por el rabillo del ojo el cuchillo de carnicero que descansa sobre el escritorio.

In June 1609, two judges left Bordeaux for a territory at the very edge of their jurisdiction, a Basque-speaking province on the Atlantic coast called the Pays de Labourd. In four months, they executed up to 80 women and men for the crime of witchcraft, causing a wave of suspects to flee into Spain and sparking terror there. Witnesses, many of them children, described lurid tales of cannibalism, vampirism, and demonic sex. One of the judges, Pierre de Lancre, published a sensationalist account of this diabolical netherworld. With other accounts seemingly destroyed, this witch-hunt – France's largest – has always been seen through de Lancre's eyes. The narrative, re-told over the centuries, is that of a witch-hunt caused by a bigoted outsider.Newly discovered evidence paints a very different, still darker picture, revealing a secret history underneath de Lancre's well-known tale. Far from an outside imposition, witchcraft was a home-grown problem. Panic had been building up over a number of years and the region was fractured by factionalism and a struggle over scarce resources. The Basque Witch-Hunt reveals that de Lancre was no outsider, he was a local partisan, married into the Basque nobility. Living at the Franco-Spanish border, the Basques were victims of geography. Geo-politics caused a local conflict which made the witch-hunt inevitable. The same forces eventually sent thousands of religious refugees from Spain to France where they, in turn, became new objects of popular fear and anger.The Basque witch-hunt is justly infamous. This book shows that almost everything historians thought they knew about it is wrong.

In post-war Europe, protest was everywhere. On both sides of the Iron Curtain, from Paris to Prague, Milan to Wroclaw, ordinary people took to the streets, fighting for a better world. Their efforts came to a head most dramatically in 1968 and 1989, when mass movements swept Europe and rewrote its history.In the decades between, Joachim C. Häberlen argues, new movements emerged that transformed the nature of protesting. Activism moved beyond traditional demonstrations, from squatting to staging 'happenings' and camping out at nuclear power plants. People protested in the way they dressed, the music they listened to, the lovers they slept with, the clubs where they danced all night. New movements were born, notably anti-racism, women's liberation, gay liberation, and environmentalism. And protest turned inward, as activists experimented with new ways of living and feeling, from communes to group therapy, in their efforts to live a better life in the here and now.Some of these struggles succeeded, others failed. But successful or not, their history provides a glimpse into roads not taken, into futures that did not happen. The stories in Häberlen's book invite us to imagine different futures, to struggle, to fail, and to try again. In a time when we are told that there are no alternatives, they show us that there could be another way.

¿Qué es una biblioteca? ¿Qué es un texto? ¿Qué es una autoridad académica? ¿Y cómo circula el conocimiento en la sociedad y forma tradiciones? En un momento en que los mundos de la palabra escrita experimentan profundas transformaciones, en que la cuestión del saber crítico, de las herramientas técnicas y de la navegación por los océanos de la información es cada vez más aguda, la historia de las prácticas intelectuales y de la transmisión erudita, a largo plazo y a través de la comparación cultural, arroja una luz cautivadora sobre los desafíos a los que se enfrentan nuestras sociedades. De Alejandría a las humanidades digitales, de la filología a los estudios científicos, de las habilidades de los artesanos a las manos del intelecto, Christian Jacob examina una cuestión fundamental: la construcción del conocimiento, su inscripción material, sus metamorfosis, su poder para crear vínculos, en el espacio, en el tiempo, en el corazón de las sociedades humanas.
