Una serie de eventos afortunados: El azar, el mundo, la vida y tú
by Sean B. CarrollUna asombrosa exploración del azar como origen de toda la belleza y la diversidad del mundo. ¿Las cosas suceden por alguna razón o son fruto del azar? Filósofos y teólogos han reflexionado sobre esta cuestión durante milenios, pero no ha sido hasta hoy que los descubrimientos científicos la han resuelto: vivimos en un mundo donde impera la aleatoriedad. Como cualquier otra especie, los humanos estamos aquí por accidente. Pero ¿cuántas cosas tuvieron que ocurrir de cierta manera y no de otra para que existiéramos? Desde el impacto tremendamente improbable de un asteroide contra la Tierra hasta los cambios en su órbita durante la Edad de Hielo o las alteraciones invisibles en las gónadas de nuestros ancestros, somos producto de una asombrosa serie de eventos afortunados. Inspirado en figuras como Kurt Vonnegut y los Monty Python y escrito por uno de los mejores divulgadores científicos de la actualidad, este es el relato irresistiblemente entretenido y estimulante sobre uno de los aspectos más importantes y menos apreciados de la vida. Una asombrosa exploración del azar como origen de toda la belleza y la diversidad del mundo. La crítica ha dicho: «Fascinante y estimulante. Sean B. Carroll en todo su esplendor».Bill Bryson «Profundo, ingenioso y divertido. Cambiará para siempre la forma en la que te ves a ti mismo y al universo».Alice Roberts «Una visión breve, encantadora y científicamente sólida de la vida».Kirkus «Un libro sobre la historia de la humanidad contada con ingenio y estilo».John Brandon, Forbes «El papel de la casualidad en el destino del mundo puede parecer un asunto filosófico más que científico, pero Carroll, un biólogo, demuestra lo troncal que es esta idea en nuestro día a día».New York Times Book Review«En Carroll se combinan de forma singular tres rasgos de por sí singulares: un dominio de múltiples ámbitos científicos, una inigualable capacidad para explicar con claridad conceptos científicos complejos y un profundo instinto para contar historias».Barbara N. Horowitz, The Quarterly Review of Biology

Unbreakable: The Woman Who Defied The Nazis In The World's Most Dangerous Horse Race
by Richard AskwithThe courageous and heartbreaking story of a Czech countess who defied the Nazis in a legendary horse race. Czechoslovakia, October 1937. Europe’s youngest democracy is on its knees. Millions are mourning the death of the nation’s founding father, the saintly Tomáš Masaryk. Across the border, the Third Reich is menacing – and plotting to invade. In the countryside, vast crowds have gathered to watch the threatened nation’s most prestigious sporting contest: the Grand Pardubice steeplechase. Notoriously dangerous, the race is considered the ultimate test of manhood and fighting spirit. The Nazis have sent their paramilitary elite—SS officers on a mission to crush the “subhuman Slavs." The local cavalry officers have no hope of stopping them. But there is one other contestant: a countess riding a little golden mare… The story of Lata Brandisová is by turns enigmatic and inspiring. Born into privilege, she spent much of her life in poverty. Modest and shy, she refused to accept the constraints society placed on her because of her gender. Instead, with quiet courage, she repeatedly achieved what others said was impossible and rose above scandal to became her nation’s figurehead in its darkest hour. Then came retribution… Unbreakable is a story of endurance and defiance in an age of prejudice, fear, sexism, class hatred, and nationalism. Filled with eccentric aristocrats, socialite spies, daredevil jockeys—and a race so brutal that some consider merely taking part in it a sign of insanity—Unbreakable brings to life a unique hero, and an unforgettable love affair between a woman and a horse.

Uncle
by Neil Gaiman Quentin Blake J. P. MartinIf you think Babar is the only storybook elephant with a cult following, then you haven’t met Uncle, the presiding pachyderm of a wild fictional universe that has been collecting accolades from children and adults for going on fifty years. Unimaginably rich, invariably swathed in a magnificent purple dressing-gown, Uncle oversees a vast ramshackle castle full of friendly kooks while struggling to fend off the sneak attacks of the incorrigible (and ridiculous) Badfort Crowd. Each Uncle story introduces a new character from Uncle’s madcap world: Signor Guzman, careless keeper of the oil lakes; Noddy Ninety, an elderly train conductor and the oldest student of Dr. Lyre’s Select School for Young Gentlemen; the proprietors of Cheapman’s Store (where motorbikes are a halfpenny each) and Dearman’s Store (where the price of an old milk jug goes up daily); along with many others. But for every delightful friend of Uncle, there is a foe who is no less deliriously wicked. Luckily the misbegotten schemes of the Badfort Crowd are no match for Uncle’s superior wits. Quentin Blake’s quirky illustrations are the perfect complement to J.P. Martin’s stories, each one of a perfect length for bedtime reading. Lovers of Roald Dahl and William Steig will rejoice in Uncle’s wonderfully bizarre and happy world, where the good guys always come out on top, and once a year, everybody, good and bad, sits down together for an enormous Christmas feast.
Uncle And His Detective
by Quentin Blake J. P. MartinIt begins with the arrival not of a detective, but of disaster: Badfort is for sale, but when Uncle decides to buy it, demolish it, and build a pleasantly appointed park on the site, he is forestalled. Beaver Hateman has sold it cheaply to someone on the condition that he, Hateman, is allowed to stay on as a paying guest. Forgetting that the man who has bought Badfort is certain to regret the "bargain", Uncle tries to console himself by continuing his never-ending exploration of Homeward. He soon discovers the mysterious Crack House - lair of a vicious and horribly squawking creature, half-bat, half-bird, called Batty - where there are rumours of buried treasure. Uncle is in need of a detective . . .
Uncle And The Treacle Trouble
by Quentin Blake J. P. Martin R N CurreyA great mural, commissioned by the King of the Badgers after the defeat of the Badfort crowd at Crack House, is to be painted on the wall at Homeward by Waldovenison Smeare. To protect the mural while it is being painted Uncle employs a watchman called Sleepy Sam, who sleeps in a wheelbarrow and is paid two loaves of bread and two quarts of Koolvat. Sleepy Sam is immediately put to work when Beaver Hateman tries to climb in through Uncle's window . . .
