Todos los hombres deben morir: La épica historia oficial de cómo se hizo Juego de tronos
by James HibberdLa épica historia oficial, avalada por HBO, de cómo se hizo la exitosa serie de televisión Juego de tronos. «Todo está aquí: cómo comenzó, cómo terminó, dragones y lobos huargos, lo que pasó delante de las cámaras y entre bambalinas, los triunfos y tropiezos, las decisiones difíciles, las encrucijadas, los porqués. Actores, directores, showrunners, productores, ejecutivos e incluso a mí... Todos los hombres deben morir lo tiene todo, todo lo que siempre has querido saber. Juego de tronos fue un viaje apasionante. Todos los hombres deben morir es una lectura apasionante.» George R.R. Martin Se suponía que era imposible. Cuando George R. R. Martin creó su saga best seller de novelas fantásticas titulada «Canción de hielo y fuego», lo hizo con la idea de confinarla únicamente a los inmensos límites de su imaginación dada la dificultad que conllevaría el rodaje. Sin embargo, un par de guionistas primerizos, junto con HBO, lograron adaptar el épico relato de Martin y el resultado es de sobras conocido: muchos hemos visto las ocho temporadas de la galardonada serie que llegaron a continuación. A pesar del éxito, siempre bien documentado, todavía nos queda una historia por conocer sobre Juego de tronos: los entresijos de los trece años de lucha para sacar adelante este extraordinario fenómeno. En Todos los hombres deben morir, el premiado periodista James Hibberd nos ofrece, por primera vez y en exclusiva, la crónica de la aclamadísima serie de HBO Juego de tronos: desde la reunión inicial del equipo creativo hasta la puesta en escena del final de la serie, pasando por todas las épicas batallas que se libraron delante y detrás de las cámaras y que también se convirtieron en leyenda. Este esperado libro contiene más de cincuenta entrevistas inéditas y fotos espectaculareso poco conocidas del rodaje. Además, nos da acceso a la increíble experiencia de los productores, el reparto y el equipo que consiguió convertir las novelas de George R. R. Martin en el mayor fenómeno televisivo del mundo.

Tolerance: Experiments with Freedom in the Netherlands (Law and Philosophy Library #124)
by Cees MarisThis book presents a collection of philosophical essays on freedom and tolerance in the Netherlands. It explores liberal freedom and its limits in areas such as freedom of speech, public reason, sexual morality, euthanasia, drugs policy, and minority rights. The book takes Dutch practices as exemplary test cases for the principled discussions on these subjects from the perspective of political liberalism. Indeed, the Netherlands may be viewed as a social laboratory in human tolerance. During the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, Holland took the lead in a global emancipation process towards a society based on equal freedom. It was the first country to legalize euthanasia, soft drugs and gay marriage. In the final sections, the book examines the question of whether the political murders on the politician Pim Fortuyn and the film director Theo van Gogh, the reactions to Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s film Submission, as well as the success of the populist politician Geert Wilders are signs of the end of Dutch tolerance. Although it recognizes that the political climate has taken a conservative turn, the book shows that the Netherlands still shows remarkable tolerance.

Tommies: The British Army in the Trenches (Casemate Short History)
by John Sadler Rosie Serdiville&“Everything you need to know to get you started on the subject of the men of the British Army who found themselves in the trenches in WWI. Superb.&” —Books Monthly British soldiers have been known as Tommies for centuries, but the nickname is particularly associated with the British infantryman in the trenches of World War I. In August 1914, a small professional force of British soldiers crossed the Channel to aid the French and Belgians as the German army advanced. As it became apparent that the war would not, in fact, be over by Christmas, a vast drive for volunteer soldiers began. As enthusiasm for enlistment tailed off, eventually conscription was introduced in order to replenish the forces weakened by years of bloodshed. By 1918 the British army was transformed, fielding 5.5 million men on the western front alone. These Tommies fought an entirely new type of war, living in vast trench systems, threatened by death from the air and gas attack as well as by bullet, bomb, or bayonet. This introduction explores the experience of Tommies on the western front, explaining how their war evolved and changed from the mobile battles of August 1914 to the final days of the war, and discussing daily life as an infantryman on the front line using firsthand accounts, contemporary poems, and songs. The Casemate Short History Series &“would be excellent for someone with an early interest in military history or for someone talking history at school. Very readable and easy to understand with some good illustrations&” (Army Rumour Service).

Too Fast to Think
by Chris LewisOur lives are getting faster and faster. We are engulfed in constant distraction from email, social media and our 'always on' work culture. We are too busy, too overloaded with information and too focused on analytical left-brain thinking processes to be creative. Too Fast to Think exposes how our current work practices, media culture and education systems are detrimental to innovation. The speed and noise of modern life is undermining the clarity and quiet that is essential to power individual thought. Our best ideas are often generated when we are free to think diffusely, in an uninterrupted environment, which is why moments of inspiration so often occur in places completely separate to our offices. To reclaim creativity, Too Fast to Think teaches you how to retrain your brain into allowing creative ideas to emerge, before they are shut down by interruption, distraction or the self-doubt of your over-rational brain. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to maximize their creative potential, as well as that of their team. Supported by cutting-edge research from the University of the Arts London and insightful interviews with business leaders, academics, artists, politicians and psychologists, Chris Lewis takes a holistic approach to explain the 8 crucial traits that are inherently linked to creation and innovation.
