LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION AND THE 2024 FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDThis unprecedented look inside the global battle to power our lives is required reading for anyone interested in the 360-degree impacts of the energy transition (Daniel Poneman, former US Deputy Secretary of Energy) from acclaimed Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder.To build electric vehicles, solar panels, cell phones, and millions of other devices means the world must dig more mines to extract lithium, copper, and other vital building blocks. But mines are deeply unpopular, even as they have a role to play in fighting climate change and powering crucial technologies. These tensions have sparked a worldwide reckoning over the sourcing of necessary materials, and no one understands the complexities of these issues better than Ernest Scheyder.The War Belowreveals the explosive brawl among industry titans, conservationists, community groups, policymakers, and many others over whether the habitats of rare plants, sensitive ecosystems, Indigenous holy sites, and other places should be dug up for their riches.With accessible and illuminating (Chris Miller, author of Chip War) writing, Scheyder shows the human toll of this war and explains why recycling and other newer technologies have struggled to gain widespread use. He also expertly chronicles Washingtons attempts to wean itself off supplies from China, the global leader in mineral production and processing. The War Below paints a powerfully honest and nuanced picture of what is at stake in this new fight for energy independence, revealing how America and the rest of the worlds hunt for the new oil directly affects us all.

A capacidade de resistencia á dor física ou psicolóxica non se pode medir. Tampouco o grao de maldade que pode chegar a concibir o ser humano. É en situacións límite cando as persoas sacan a relucir comportamentos insolitos, para ben e para mal. No escenario da II Guerra Mundial tiveron lugar episodios tan estarrecedores e crueis que alguns deles resultan imposibles de dixerir.Un animal chamado neboa e un libro de relatos onde a ficcion se construe a partir de diferentes acontecementos sucedidos durante o conflito belico. O cerco de Leningrado, o naufraxio do buque USS Indianapolis, os metodos de tortura da banda de criminais ao servizo do italiano Pietro Koch, a realidade das mulleres prostituidas en Mauthausen ou a terrible mision do Enola Gay forman parte dalgunhas das historias que compoñen este libro. Escrita de xeito directo e descarnado pero sen perder nunca de vista o contexto historico, esta obra e un retrato desolador e emocional do comportamento das persoas en circunstancias extremas. Un pulso critico a condicion humana.

The Bronte Sisters - The Complete Novels: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Shirley, Villette, The Professor, Emma, Agnes Grey, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Unabridged) invites readers into the tumultuous and vibrant world of Victorian England through the passionate, and often haunting, narratives crafted by the Bronte sisters. This anthology encapsulates the collective genius of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte, presenting a tapestry of themes such as the struggle for individual agency, the constraints of societal expectations, and the raw, gothic exploration of the human condition. Each story within this canon not only showcases strikingly diverse literary techniquesfrom intricate character development to expansive, moody landscapesbut also highlights the timeless relevance of their thematic explorations. The Bronte sisters reshaped the literary landscape of their era, drawing from personal experiences and widespread societal shifts of the 19th century. With Charlottes critical eye for societal norms, Emilys deep dive into the human psyche, and Annes stark confrontation of social issues, their novels collectively paint a profound portrait of their time. Their works resonate with elements from the Romantic and Gothic traditions, yet they distinctly transcend into a pioneering realm of proto-feminist thought, marking them as pivotal figures in both literary history and the ongoing dialogue on gender and identity. This anthology offers not merely a reading experience but an exploration into the dynamic evolution of narrative form and thematic depth. For both scholarly exploration and personal edification, The Bronte Sisters - The Complete Novels provides a substantial, unified volume through which readers will encounter the multifaceted genius of these literary icons.
