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

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

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

In the latest electrifying adventure in the Number one New York Times bestselling series, Jack Ryan Jr finds out that sometimes the deadliest secret of all may be standing right next to you. Freeze or drown. He wasn't sure which one would come first. It didn't really matter. Either way, Jack Ryan, Jr. knew he was going to die in the next two minutes. When Jack Ryan Jr is sent to Singapore on what seems a routine administrative task, he worries he's being sidelined in the war on terror. But it soon becomes clear there's more to the mission - and his unassuming new partner, Paul Brown - than meets the eye. With North Korean missile testing in full swing and a deadly cyclone bearing down on the island nation, Brown and Ryan are tasked with uncovering a mole threatening an entirely new kind of warfare. And it soon becomes clear someone is willing to kill to cover their tracks. As they race against time to escape both the murderous storm and a team of trained assassins, the

"[A] tour de force of speculative historical fiction. Highly recommended."--Library Journal In the extraordinary Worldwar tetralogy, set against the backdrop of World War II, Harry Turtledove, the "Hugo-winning master of alternate SF" (Publishers Weekly), wove an explosive saga of world powers locked in conflict against an enemy from the stars. Now he expands his magnificent epic into the volatile 1960s, when the space race is in its infancy and humanity must face its greatest challenge: alien colonization of planet Earth. Yet even in the shadow of this inexorable foe, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany are unable to relinquish their hostilities and unite against a massive new wave of extraterrestrials. For all the countries of the world, this is the greatest threat of all. This time, the terrible price of defeat will be the conquest of our world, and perhaps the extinction of the human race itself. Praise for Second Contact "An exciting, oft
