Versión en inglés de POETAS DE MADRID, con Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Quevedo, Valle-Inclán y Rubén DaríoThis is Madrid.Madrid. Homeric city, the cradle and grave of many of us that pour out the joyful days of youth among its streets and wineries, throughout its history it has accepted into its fold non-conforming poets from the four corners of the earth, because one is born a poet in his land, but one is made and perishes in Madrid.No matter where you are from, Madrid never leaves you indifferent, it always offers the rhapsodist who has moved to the capital in search of fortune, a lively space about which to write their verses. If our lives are the rivers as Manrique said, today the Manzanares river has been reborn and is full of life.Poets of Madrid is a generous title, as is Madrid. This anthology shows that the city drew them in from very distant places: Rubén Darío, for example, was born in Nicaragua, Valle-Inclán in Galicia, Góngora was Andalusian, Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares, thirty kilometres from Madrid, only Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega were true Madrid natives.With this, we are trying to say that the presence of Rubén Darío in the anthology represents the percentage of the Hispanic American population who, proud of the city that embraces them, carries the same language in their voices, Góngora and Valle-Inclán, that of the surrounding areas, Cervantes, that of the city's close neighbours, and Lope and Quevedo, that of those born in Madrid. Because those us of from other parts of the globe were attracted to this city, which is no longer a Manchegan dump, for its courtesy and its lack of rejection, as a place known for its cosmopolitanism should be.

James Ellroy—Demon Dog of American Letters—goes straight to the tragic heart of postwar Hollywood with the story of Marilyn Monroe’s untimely death, in an astonishing, ripped-from-the-headlines crime story.Los Angeles, August 4, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe’s horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he served to create — and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness.It’s the Summer of ’62, baby. Freddy O’s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. It’s just a shot away.The Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama and an unparalleled thrill ride. It is, resoundingly, the great American crime novel.

Those who understand how AI thinks are about to win big.We are used to thinking of computers as being a step up from calculators - very good at storing information, and maybe even at playing a logical game like chess. But up to now they haven't been able to think in ways that are intuitive, or respond to questions as a human might. All that has changed, dramatically, in the past few years.Our search engines are becoming answer engines. Artificial intelligence is already revolutionising sectors from education to healthcare to the creative arts. But how does an AI understand sentiment or context? How does it play and win games that have an almost infinite number of moves? And how can we work with AI to produce insights and innovations that are beyond human capacity, from writing code in an instant to unfolding the elaborate 3D puzzles of proteins?We stand at the brink of a historic change that will disrupt society and at the same time create enormous opportunities for those who understand how AI thinks. Nigel Toon shows how we train AI to train itself, so that it can paint images that have never existed before or converse in any language. In doing so he reveals the strange and fascinating ways that humans think, too, as we learn how to live in a world shared by machine intelligences of our own creation.

Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) fue un biólogo, naturalista, evolucionista, artista, filósofo y doctor alemán, que dedicó su vida a la investigación de la flora y la fauna tanto de las cimas de las montañas más altas como de los océanos más profundos. Como ferviente partidario y estudioso de las teorías de la evolución de Darwin, denunció el dogma religioso, escribió tratados filosóficos, obtuvo un doctorado en zoología y acuñó términos científicos, ahora de uso común, como ecología, filo y célula madre.El inmenso legado de Haeckel ha fascinado, desconcertado y polarizado a varias generaciones. Pero ¿cuál era la esencia de la extraordinaria labor de su vida? Al igual que su predecesor intelectual, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel no sólo buscaba descubrimientos nuevos sino también explicaciones. Para lograr su objetivo, realizó cientos de dibujos, acuarelas y bosquejos detallados de sus hallazgos que publicó durante el siglo XX en una serie de volúmenes entre los que destacan diversas recopilaciones de organismos marinos y la majestuosa obra Kunstformen der Natur (Formas artísticas en la naturaleza), que bien podría ser el cimiento del proyecto de toda su vida.Como una meticulosa enciclopedia visual de seres vivos, la obra de Haeckel destaca tanto por su precisión gráfica y su detallado sombreado como por su comprensión de la evolución orgánica. De murciélagos a cubozoos, de lagartijas a líquenes, pasando por patas de araña o anémonas marinas, hizo especial hincapié en las simetrías básicas y el orden natural descubriendo belleza biológica incluso en las criaturas más insospechadas. Las láminas, además de suponer un avance en el estudio de la historia natural, ejercieron una influencia en varias generaciones de artistas y arquitectos del siglo XX, desde defensores del modernismo a arquitectos como Hendrik Petrus Berlage.Este libro rinde homenaje a la importancia científica, artística y medioambiental de la obra de Haeckel con una colección de láminas extraídas de varios de sus tomos más importantes sobre biología marina, incluidos Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme y Kunstformen der Natur. En un momento en el que la biodiversidad está cada vez más amenazada por las actividades humanas, este volumen es, al mismo tiempo, una obra maestra visual, una exploración submarina y un vívido recordatorio de la hermosa diversidad de la vida.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años! Desde que iniciáramos nuestra labor de arqueólogos culturales en 1980, TASCHEN se ha convertido en sinónimo de ediciones accesibles, y ayuda a devoradores de libros de todo el mundo a crear su propia biblioteca de arte, antropología y erotismo a un precio inmejorable.

These pages tell the story without words of a journey through Spain in which the author, the photographer Fernando Manso, visited unknown and hidden corners and captured them on the plates of his large-format camera. From the remotest parts of Galicia to those of Almería, he passed through coasts, deserts and mountains, stopping at old churches, ghostly castles or majestic cathedrals, in forests and gorges, at natural pools and salt mines, and at cemeteries, Arab baths and hermitages carved out of the rock. Fernando has made the light of these places into the leading figure of his journey. His is a different light, as he has relinquished blue skies and brilliant sunshine, often the stuff of clichés, to make way for visions of places that appear to us with such intimate truth that even if we know them, we can barely recognise them. This is thanks to his technique, his art and the patience with which he waits for the light. Fernando's luxury is being able to use all the time in the world to draw us into an artistic heritage that is sometimes secret and hard to reach, and which the viewer has to know how to see. He reveals these places, often in danger of disappearing, after detailed investigation. Both architecture and landscape - for he knows that natural scenery is also a major patrimony that has to be affectionately preserved and protected from speculation - belong to all of us, and we are responsible for their care. We must be aware of this. The result of that trip is this publication, with beautiful images in reproductions of exceptional quality that present us with a vision of Spain in a different light.

Two outcasts find themselves caught in a web of forbidden love, dangerous magic, and dark secrets that could change the world forever in the start of a riveting epic fantasy series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Shadowhunter Chronicles. “It began with a crime. The theft of a boy.” In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, the richest of nobles and the most debauched of criminals have one thing in common: the constant search for wealth, power, and the next hedonistic thrill. Kel is an orphan, stolen from the life he knew to become the Sword-Catcher—the body-double of a royal heir, Prince Conor Aurelian. He has been raised alongside the prince, trained in every aspect of combat and statecraft. He and Conor are close as brothers, but Kel knows he has one destiny: to die for Conor. No other future is possible. Lin Caster is one of the Ashkar, a small community who still possess magical abilities. By law, they must live behind walls in the city, but Lin, a physician, ventures out to tend to the sick and dying of Castellane. Despite her skills, she cannot heal her best friend Mariam without access to forbidden knowledge. After a failed assassination attempt brings Lin and Kel together, they are drawn into the web of the mysterious Ragpicker King, the criminal ruler of Castellane’s underworld. He offers them each what they want most, but as they descend into his world of intrigue and shadow, they discover a conspiracy of corruption that reaches from the darkest gutters of Castellane to the highest tower of its palaces. As long-kept secrets begin to unravel, they must ask themselves: Is knowledge worth the price of betrayal? Can forbidden love bring down a kingdom? And will Lin and Kel’s discoveries plunge their nation into war—and the world into chaos?
