Un retrato imprescindible de la violencia, el poder y la belleza de América Latina en este siglo.Durante más de cuarenta años, Alma Guillermoprieto ha recorrido incansablemente Latinoamérica, entrevistando a asesinos y a las familias de sus victimas, hablando con barrenderos y artistas, con ruidosos carnavaleros y religiosos circunspectos, con politicos reflexivos e histrionicos mandatarios. Guillermoprieto extrae lazos comunes entre personas y contextos diversos, como los efectos de la guerra contra las drogas en regiones rurales y empobrecidas o las experiencias de aquellos involucrados en la violencia de Estado o patrocinada por los carteles. Al mismo tiempo, muestra como el arte de estas regiones traduce la nostalgia y el dolor en algo hermoso o como el periodismo puede levantar la voz contra la injusticia. En Esta improbable tierra prometida, su tercer volumen de cronicas, completa su complejo y siempre convincente retrato de la Latinoamerica de nuestro tiempo, en toda su tragedia y gloria y en una era de populismo y demagogia, e intenta, una vez mas, responder a la gran pregunta sin resolver: ¿como cambiamos nuestro futuro para que no se parezca tanto a nuestro pasado?Reseña:Alma Guillermoprieto es una cronista inigualable de nuestra America, que en su prosa virtuosa sabe penetrar con mirada aguda los conflictos y los dramas de los paises del continente, para darnos retratos certeros sobre la opresion y las injusticias, rebeliones, conflictos y ansias de cambio, sin olvidar nunca, como periodista que a la vez es escritora, que de por medio estan los seres humanos. Sergio Ramirez

El nuevo libro de Javier Cercas relata los últimos 50 años de la historia de España, que son los del diario El País, a través de un recorrido personal y una lúcida reflexión sobre los vínculos entre periodismo, literatura, politica y libertades.El diario El Pais salio a la calle el 4 de mayo de 1976, menos de seis meses despues de la muerte de Franco, cuando el camino a la democracia apenas empezaba a atisbarse. La idea del periodico se incubo entre un grupo de editores e intelectuales que, en las postrimerias del franquismo, buscaba un instrumento de reforma del regimen, de talante liberal y vocacion europeista, que contribuyera a suturar las heridas provocadas por la guerra civil y la dictadura y a hallar una salida sin traumas del franquismo. Su exito fue fulgurante. A los 50 años de ese momento fundacional de la historia reciente española, Javier Cercas asumio el reto de contar la historia de un pais a traves de la de su periodico de referencia; pero El periodico de la democracia no es solo una historia personal de ese periodo: es tambien una reflexion acerca de la relacion del periodismo con la literatura, una cronica de la formacion intelectual de un escritor y un homenaje a la importancia de la prensa en la construccion y la defensa de las libertades.Sobre el autor y su obra la critica ha dicho:Uno de los mejores escritores de nuestra lengua. Mario Vargas LlosaEl incontestable jefe de filas de su generacion de escritores hispanohablantes [...]. Uno de los escritores mas importantes de nuestro tiempo. Olivier Mony, Sud-OuestHa contribuido como muy pocos escritores de cualquier lengua a transformar la literatura actual. Jordi Gracia, El PaisEl mas grande escritor contemporaneo español.

Una investigación imprescindible para entender quién manda, cómo y con qué complicidadesÉste es el relato de una traición múltiple: política, moral y periodística. A partir de una investigación que se inicia con la fulminante caida de Jose Luis Abalos en 2021, Ketty Garat reconstruye el entramado de lealtades, ambiciones y ajustes de cuentas que acompañaron al ascenso, la consolidacion y la degradacion del nucleo de poder que rodea a Pedro Sanchez. Un poder que no se limito a conquistar el PSOE y el Gobierno, sino que termino por canibalizarlos desde dentro.El libro retrata un sistema en el que nadie actua solo. Desde Sanchez hasta sus hombres de confianza -Abalos, Santos Cerdan, Koldo Garcia-, pasando por actores politicos, empresarios, intermediarios y aliados internacionales, Garat expone como se organizo una red de poder basada en la traicion preventiva, el control interno y la eliminacion sistematica de cualquier disidencia.Mientras se desplegaba esta trama corrupta, buena parte de los medios abandonaron su funcion de fiscalizacion del poder y, en su lugar, señalaron a la periodista y al periodico que la investigaban, a los que el tiempo y la justicia han dado la razon.Todos los hombres de Sanchez es tambien una cronica desde las bambalinas de una exclusiva en la que se revelan detalles hasta ahora desconocidos.Es, en definitiva, una investigacion que muestra que ocurre cuando el poder no encuentra resistencia, la traicion se convierte en metodo y el silencio se presenta como virtud.

La primera vez que Juan Cruz entrevistó a alguien tenía trece años y estaba subido a una escalerita para poder alcanzar el teléfono de su casa en Tenerife. El entrevistado fue un militar de Franco que ejercia tambien de entrenador de futbol, y ese dia cambiaria la vida de Juan Cruz para siempre. Desde entonces no ha parado de preguntar para contarle a la gente, como decia su maestro Eugenio Scalfari, "lo que le pasa a la gente": "Pregunte tanto [] que no me acostumbre jamas a preguntar como un profesional, sino como el curioso que llevo dentro desde que descubri que preguntar es mejor que callarse". De esa pasion por saber es prueba este libro que recoge una treintena de las mejores entrevistas realizadas en las ultimas cinco decadas.

When you know of Janet Malcolm, you spot traces of her everywhere. You understand that she was a titan of the written word - a longtime New Yorker staff writer, member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and National Book Award finalist - with a far-reaching impact and cult-like following. But if you dont know to look for her name, it is easy to miss - unlike some of her contemporaries, Malcolm was actively opposed to being a literary celebrity, even while famously controversial for challenging the notion of journalisms objectivity. The Absent Woman plumbs the Malcolm archives to uncover a portrait of this notoriously private writer and her work, and of the people and themes that she was consumed by in her over sixty-year career. From questions of narrative and truth to criticism and psychoanalysis to her decade-long case with Jeffrey Masson and the attacks she got from other critics, Eve Sneider reads Malcolms obsessions in essays and books alongside her photographs, correspondence and episodes from her life - and illustrates the many ways in which Malcolms writing about other people was a vehicle for her to understand herself.

A memoir from Chuck Lorre--one of the most prolific television writers and showrunners in TV history (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Mom, The Kominsky Method, Young Sheldon), on his life, career, and the deal with all those vanity cards.Ever wonder what its like to spend decades making millions of strangers laugh while trying not to lose your mind in the process?As the creator of The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Young Sheldon, Bookie, Dharma & Greg, Mom, and more, Lorre has racked up almost two thousand half-hours of comedy. But his own story is just as outrageous, awkward, and surprisingly touching as the shows he built.In this memoir on his life and career in comedy, Lorre trades punchlines for real talk: the messy, very human truth behind Hollywoods glossy façade, addiction, his own and that of his famous colleagues, his failed marriages, disastrous life choices, and chronic illness--all of which somehow became the ingredients for comedy. One chapter may leave you doubled over, the next might sneak in a lump in your throat but thats Chuck. Thats sitcoms. Thats also real life.If youve ever binged The Big Bang Theory, argued over your favorite Two and a Half Men character, or wondered how TV comedy gets made, this is your all-access pass. Spoiler: it involves failure, low-self-esteem, and an unshakable love for laughter.

Busting the myth of groupthink, a powerful look at how our ability to influence one another can accelerate individual and collective intelligence.A leading expert on social networks and behavior change delivers new principles of social influence to improve collective intelligence.For years, scientists have struggled to discover the formula to produce the worlds smartest teams. But the solution has been elusive because they have focused on individual intelligences. In Goodthink, Damon Centola shows how to build teams, design online platforms, and create office spaces that sharpen our thinking individually and align our intelligence collectively. The secret, it turns out, is in the shape of our networks.How did MITs Building 20, populated with outcasts and eccentrics, become one of the most innovative and productive research hubs in American history? Why did increasing the number of online echo chambers unexpectedly reduce political polarization? How can popular herding behavior make crowds more intelligent? This book has the answers. Taking us behind the scenes of the most successful systems of collective intelligence in the modern world, it introduces a new science of what it means to be smart.Every day, each of us faces four critical decision-making challenges: choosing, coordination, cooperation, and creativity. Goodthink describes the tell-tale signs of when effective structures are at work, enabling us to read the room and begin to shift the dynamics at play. It also reveals how to know when things are failing and what to do to fix them.Delivering path-breaking insights currently at work within Fortune 500 companies, global philanthropic organizations, and government agencies, the book reveals underlying dynamics of group intelligence that have gone overlooked. Showing us how these principles work to make us feel more confident, more connected, and more engaged, Goodthink leaves us feeling smarterbecause we are!

There has never been a more confusing time to try to be healthy. In the past decade, the healthcare sector has witnessed a remarkable surge in innovation: drug design, genomics and diagnostic technology have all changed almost beyond recognition.Simultaneously, there has been a significant expansion in consumer health services, including the supplement industry, blood testing, consumer genomics and wearable technology, which claim to improve wellness (emphasising physical and mental performance and longevity) rather than curing or preventing specific disease states.For a typical consumer this is both confusing, as the health and wellness industries are almost indistinguishable, and expensive, as consumer health emphasises personalised products, often sold on a subscription basis.In Make Me Well, Xand van Tulleken investigates the new Wild West of the wellness industry, demystifying a landscape dominated by three products: supplements, blood testing, and wearable technology. In doing so, he shines a light on how people can take care of themselves better in this new and overwhelming world of wellness.

New York Times bestselling authors Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg turn their sharp reporting and propulsive writing to the NFL, going inside the most influential and successful teamsincluding the Eagles, the Ravens, and the Ramsand showing what it takes to build winning teams in the most competitive, brutal sports league in the world.The NFL is the toughest league in the world in which to build a winnerand its not particularly close. Between the hard salary cap, constant rule changes, comprehensive revenue redistribution, and constraining player contracts, the league engineers parity with draconian efficiency. It punishes winners, elevates losers, and goes out of its way to prevent dynasties. By the laws of the NFL, this hard road to the top is a feature, not a bug. And yet, in the face of these intense obstacles, some teams have learned how to thrive, year after year. How does this happen? What separates the champions from the Sunday-afternoon chaff? Talent on the field and on the sidelines helps, but as Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg reveal the modern NFL is not won through Xs and Os alone. Instead there is a new calculus of winning in the worlds most lucrative sports league. The teams that triumph exploit a range of loopholes from contract strategy to draft savvy to proprietary metrics, finding ways to extract ruthless efficiencies from a system built to strip away every advantage.Going inside the front offices and locker rooms of the most influential and forward-looking teams in todays NFLfrom the Eagles to the Ravens to the RamsRobinson and Clegg show the franchises that are using the NFLs rigid system to their own advantage, examining how they are drafting creatively, winning differentlyand how the rest of league has yet to catch up. The result is a fascinating window into achieving success in the modern NFL and an unparalleled look at how the cunning it takes to win on the field starts in the most surprising of places.

A globe-spanning narrative adventure about how the euphoria of cold water can transform and even extend your life.Lifelong athlete and Sports Illustrated writer Chris Ballard worried his days of exercise were numbered. Then he received a fateful text message about a trend taking hold around the world: submerging in freezing cold water.It wasnt only thrill seekers or wellness gurus extolling its power. Swimmers have long known that when paired with cold, their sport delivers extraordinary rewards; now, modern research has shown that just a few minutes in cold water can deliver remarkable benefits: heightened energy and focus, reduced inflammation, and relief from depression and anxiety.In The Plunge, Ballard travels to laboratories and swims in waters around the world, from Portsmouth to the Pacific, tracing the roots of cold water swimming in ancient practices largely lost in the modern world.He immerses himself in the growing tribe of cold-water junkies of all ages, shapes and nationalities, from pioneers like Lynne Cox to visionaries like Ram Barkai, whose audacious dream of getting ice swimming into the Olympics edges closer to reality.And, from cold plunging to open water swimming to ice swimming, he tests his limits in this extreme sport, eventually becoming a US national champion, his body and mind transformed along the way.Blending history, cutting-edge science, colourful characters, and propulsive narrative storytelling, its a rollicking, eye-opening adventure that reveals how a single act stepping into cold water can unlock resilience, connection, meaning and joy.

Still Laughing is a lively, deeply nostalgic exploration of the golden age of the 1980s British sitcom. From Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder and Yes Minister to Red Dwarf and The Young Ones, Robert Sellers revisits the comedies that defined a turbulent decade shaped by Thatcherism, social change and the arrival of Channel 4.As politics grew sharper, so too did sitcom. Bread and Desmonds captured working-class and Black British life with new confidence, while Executive Stress, Girls on Top and Birds of a Feather showcased complex, ambitious roles for women. Alternative comedy broke through, reshaping the tone of television humour for good.Still Laughing explores these famous shows, bringing back a host of memories in the process. It also spotlights the shows weve forgotten in most cases for good reason. Rich with behind-the-scenes insight and sharp commentary, it is both a joyful return to appointment-to-view television and a fresh appraisal of a transformative era in British comedy.This is nostalgia with a capital N, an oral history, the last word, but also a slice of TV history and an affectionate salute to those shows that so many of us grew up with.
