El luthier de Salamanca (9781519238382)

Gambar
www.sergiogarciaro.com En los primeros años del siglo XX, Germán Etura, un chaval como tantos otros de un humilde barrio salmantino, se da cuenta por un cúmulo de circunstancias de que la música le ofrece una oportunidad de futuro. Para ello debe marcharse a Cremona, en Italia. Allí se convertirá en un gran luthier, obsesionado por la perfección de sus violines. En la plenitud de su arte, y tras descubrir sus verdaderos orígenes, regresa a su ciudad natal para establecerse y prosperar en ella. La visita de una misteriosa mujer a su taller lo pone sobre la pista del cruel asesinato de un violinista callejero sucedido años atrás. Germán se ve entonces envuelto en una enmarañada madeja de crímenes, traiciones, envidias y rivalidades extremas, sepultadas de manera deliberada durante años. Durante todo ese recorrido pasarán ante sus ojos amistades inquebrantables, inocentes amores, corruptos agentes del orden, sociedades secretas, músicos de renombre..., hasta desembocar en un sorprendente

Sociology : Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, Brief Edition (9781544325798)

Gambar
This new Brief Sixth Edition of David Newman's text is the streamlined version of Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life with the same goal: to be a textbook that, in the author's words, "reads like a real book."  Newman shows to see the "unfamiliar in the familiar"—to step back and see organization and predictability in their take-for-granted personal experiences. Newman uses the metaphors of "architecture" and "construction," to help students understand that society is not something that exists "out there," independently of themselves; it is a human creation that is planned, maintained, or altered by individuals. Instead of surveying every subfield in sociology, this text focuses on the structural features of society, the social construction of self and identity, and social inequality in the context of social institutions. The new edition includes examples and analysis of contemporary events and trends, includi

Saltwater Slavery : A Middle Passage from Africa to American Diaspora (9780674030688)

Gambar
This bold, innovative book promises to radically alter our understanding of the Atlantic slave trade, and the depths of its horrors. Stephanie E. Smallwood offers a penetrating look at the process of enslavement from its African origins through the Middle Passage and into the American slave market. Smallwood's story is animated by deep research and gives us a startlingly graphic experience of the slave trade from the vantage point of the slaves themselves. Ultimately, Saltwater Slavery details how African people were transformed into Atlantic commodities in the process. She begins her narrative on the shores of seventeenth-century Africa, tracing how the trade in human bodies came to define the life of the Gold Coast. Smallwood takes us into the ports and stone fortresses where African captives were held and prepared, and then through the Middle Passage itself. In extraordinary detail, we witness these men and women cramped in the holds of ships, gasping for air, and trying to make
