I am pilgrim
Hoy -5% en Libros

Hayes, Terry

Can you commit the perfect crime? Pilgrim is the codename for a man who doesn't exist. The adopted son of a wealthy American family, he once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation. But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a rundown New York hotel room where the body of a woman is found facedown in a bath of acid, her features erased, her teeth missing, her fingerprints gone. It is a textbook murder - and Pilgrim wrote the book. What begins as an unusual and challenging investigation will become a terrifying race-against-time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to make a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruins on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his God.

Can't hurt me
Hoy -5% en Libros

Goggins, David

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world' s top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In this curse-word-free edition of Can' t Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

Walking methods
Hoy -5% en Libros

Robertson, Brian

This book introduces and critically explores walking as an innovative method for doing social research, showing how its sensate and kinaesthetic attributes facilitate connections with lived experiences, journeys and memories, communities and identities. The book situates walking methods historically, sociologically, and in relation to biographical and arts-based research, as well as new work on mobilities, the digital, spatial, and the sensory.The book is organised into three sections: theorising, experiencing, and imagining walking as a new method for doing biographical research. There is a key focus upon the Walking Interview as a Biographical Method (WIBM) on the move to usefully explore migration, memory, and urban landscapes, as part of participatory, visual, and ethnographic research with marginalised communities and artists and as re-formative and transgressive. The book concludes with autobiographical walks taken by the authors and a discussion about the future of the walking interview as biographical method.Walking Methods combines theory with a series of original ethnographic and participatory research examples. Practical exercises and a guide to using walking as a method help to make this a rich resource for social science researchers, students, walking artists, and biographical researchers.

Toys. 100 years of All-American toy ads
Hoy -5% en Libros

Heimann, Jim

Hasta el siglo XX, el juego de los niños no era un asunto al que se prestara mucha atención. Si bien existen objetos para el entretenimiento de los niños desde la Antigüedad, solo la producción industrial en masa y el desarrollo de una clase media urbana permitió su difusión generalizada. A medida que la venta de juguetes adquiría una importancia económica cada vez mayor, surgió una industria dispuesta a surtir a este nuevo mercado con los objetos de su deseo. Los fabricantes europeos dominaban la industria del juguete, y Alemania en particular abastecía a gran parte del mercado estadounidense tanto con artículos singulares como producidos en serie. La Primera Guerra Mundial terminó con su dominio. En la década de 1920, los juguetes estadounidenses se volvieron omnipresentes estimulados por el optimismo del país y una cultura consumista en constante crecimiento respaldada por imperios mediáticos de la prensa escrita, la radio y la televisión. Con los niños en el punto de mira, el mercado se inundó de productos que se deseaban y vendían por millones. Desde muñecas con vestidos de volantes hasta juegos de ciencia, la publicidad no dejaba de interpelar a los niños a través de revistas, cómics y, más adelante, la televisión. Los juguetes mantuvieron los roles familiares de género mientras evolucionaban con el subtexto tácito de estimular las mentes en desarrollo y ser vehículos de resolución de problemas con valor educativo. Si la primera parte del siglo XX supuso el auge de los juguetes en Estados Unidos, el periodo de posguerra estuvo marcado por el baby boom. El fenómeno impulsó la industria del juguete y la proyectó hasta lo que es hoy. La revolución técnica marcó de forma imprevista el capítulo siguiente de la historia de la industria, que coincidiendo con el cambio de siglo creó una nueva dimensión de juguetes que iban a fascinar a niños y adultos.

How the world made the west
Hoy -5% en Libros

Quinn, Josephine

'A work of great confidence, empathy, learning and imagination' RORY STEWART'Eye-popping, mind-blowing, ground-breaking' LUCY WORSLEYThe West, history tells us, was built on the ideas and values of Ancient Greece and Rome, which disappeared from Europe during the Dark Ages and were then rediscovered by the Renaissance. But what if that isn't true? What if the story is very different? In this bold and magisterial work of immense scope, Josephine Quinn reveals a new one that traces the relationships that built what is now called the West from the Bronze Age to the Age of Exploration, as societies met, tangled and sometimes grew apart. She makes the case that it is contact and connections, rather than distinct and isolated civilisations, that drive historical change. It is not peoples that make history – people do.

1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build an egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the party line, over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty and desire. This fervid, ground-breaking novel, written when Reimann was only twenty-seven, remains one of the cult classics of East German literature.

The patriarchs: how men came to rule
Hoy -5% en Libros

Saini, Angela

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR FOR POLITICS 2023In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini goes in search of the true roots of gendered oppression, uncovering a complex history of how male domination became embedded in societies and spread across the globe from prehistory into the present.Travelling to the world’s earliest known human settlements, analysing the latest research findings in science and archaeology, and tracing cultural and political histories from the Americas to Asia, she overturns simplistic universal theories to show that what patriarchy is and how far it goes back really depends on where you are.Despite the push back against sexism and exploitation in our own time, even revolutionary efforts to bring about equality have often ended in failure and backlash. Saini ends by asking what part we all play – women included – in keeping patriarchal structures alive, and why we need to look beyond the old narratives to understand why it persists in the present.

Young queens
Hoy -5% en Libros

Chang, Leah Redmond

The boldly original, dramatic intertwined story of Catherine de' Medici, Elisabeth de Valois and Mary, Queen of Scots - three queens exercising power in a world dominated by men. Sixteenth-century Europe: Renaissance masters paint the ceilings of Florentine churches, kings battle for control of the Continent, and the Reformation forever changes the religious organisation of society. Amidst it all, three young women come of age and into power in an era of empires and revolutions. Catherine de' Medici's story begins in a convent stormed by soldiers intent on seizing the key to power in Florence - Catherine herself, a girl barely 11 years old. It ends with her as the controversial queen mother of France, a woman both revered and reviled. Mary, Queen of Scots' story begins in Scotland and ends in England. A queen turned traitor, from the confines of her English prison she longs for the idyll of her childhood in France. Elisabeth de Valois' story begins in France, where she is born the beloved daughter of a king. It ends tragically in Spain as a cherished queen consort and mother - one who must make the ultimate sacrifice for her kingdom. Catherine, Mary and Elisabeth lived at the French court together for many years before scattering to different kingdoms. These years bound them to one another through blood and marriage, alliance and friendship, love and filial piety, bonds that were tested when the women were forced to part and take on new roles. To rule, they would learn, was to wage a constant war against the deeply entrenched misogyny of their time. A crown could exalt a young woman. Equally, it could destroy her. Drawing on new archival research, Young Queens masterfully weaves the personal stories of these three queens into one, revealing their hopes, dreams, desires and regrets in a time when even the most powerful women lived at the mercy of the state.
