100% Love
by Mimi RomanzLos polos opuestos se atraen y esto es lo que les pasará a los protagonistas de esta romántica novela ambientada en Inglaterra. Todo puede pasar cuando las ofensas vienen de una mujer para nada corriente, incluso, encontrar el amor. John Huntington es inglés de cabo a rabo. Para él, su apellido pesa, pues, aún en tiempos actuales, las costumbres y reglas de antaño son moneda corriente en su vida. Tras vivir un tiempo en España, su regreso a Inglaterra tiene dos connotaciones negativas: ayudar a su hermano a cumplir lo que le corresponde dado su título nobiliario y alejarse del amor no correspondido. Juliana López es una chica singular. Argentina al 100%, no pierde su naturalidad y frescura cuando se instala en Londres para iniciar sus estudios gracias a una beca recibida por un prestigioso instituto para perfeccionarse en el idioma inglés. Y encontrarse allí con aquel hombre al que ofendió no una, sino dos veces en el avión camino a su destino, desatará en ella un torbellino de emociones con las que no contaba. Pero no todo es color de rosa en la vida de ambos, pues John desistió de enamorarse otra vez y, con ello, aparentar ser quien no es, y Juliana tendrá que luchar contra lo que siente y, así, perdonarlo por el secreto que le ocultó.

100% Wolf
by Jayne LyonsFreddy Lupin is the youngest of a noble line of werewolves. <P><P>His father, Flasheart Lupin, was the bravest werewolf since their great ancestor Sir Rathbone. His uncle, Lord Hotspur, is the Grand Growler of the Hidden Moonlight Gathering of Werefolk. And tonight, on the evening of his one-hundred-and-twenty-first month (ten years and one month to humans), Freddy will undergo his first transwolftation. It's a rite of passage for every great werewolf. For Freddy, however, it's going to be the most embarrassing night of his life. Because Freddy is not going to turn into a werewolf at the sight of the full moon. <P><P>He's going to turn into a poodle. <P><P>Thus begins a funny and fast-paced adventure, wherein Freddy is thrown out of his pack, finds himself in the clutches of the Coldfax Fort dog pound, uncovers the truth about his father's mysterious death, and discovers that the great werewolf hunter, Dr. Foxwell Cripp, is planning to destroy all of his family and friends, and Freddy is the only one who can stop him. He might be small, pink, and groomed, but Freddy Lupin is one hundred percent wolf.
100% cerebro: Secretos y misterios que hay en tu cabeza
by Pedro Bekinschtein<P>El fascinante comportamiento del cerebro a través del análisis de un estudioso apasionado. Todos los procesos cerebrales que intervienen en las decisiones que creemos espontáneas. <P>"Todo lo que nos pasa, pasa en el cerebro". Así de categórico es el autor de esta obra, que demuestra hasta qué punto en todas nuestras decisiones interviene un proceso cerebral, incluso en aquellas que suponemos espontáneas o impulsivas. Ni siquiera el amor está libre de un patrón específico que hace circular información eléctrica en las neuronas. <P>"Ustedes dirán que simplifico un poco las cosas, que le estoy quitando la magia a la vida al reducir las decisiones o los sentimientos tan puros como el amor o la felicidad a una serie de cambios en la actividad eléctrica de unas células formadas por lípidos y proteínas en un órgano que está adentro de una bola hueca de huesos. Pues yo opino lo contrario, a mí me parece verdaderamente impresionante que de la actividad eléctrica de las células vivas pueda emerger un comportamiento tan complejo como el amor por la tortilla de papa o la escritura de un libro. Me da una idea de cuán poco sabemos y de todo lo que hay para investigar. La magia está acá en la mente, en entender cómo es su funcionamiento y de dónde salen todos nuestros pensamientos y acciones." Así resume la cuestión Pedro Bekinschtein, estudioso apasionado del cerebro y el universo de posibilidades que permite.
100% memoria: Como funciona la fabrica de recuerdos
by Pedro Bekinschtein<P>El doctor Pedro Bekinschtein -Pedro, para los amigos- aborda el tema de su especialidad: qué es la memoria, cómo funciona, cómo se construye un recuerdo. Mucho de esto todavía tiene más de misterio que de comprobación científica. En los laboratorios de todo el mundo, la gente de ciencia pasa años para descubrir y comprobar algo extraordinario que, sin embargo, está lejos de responder estas preguntas fascinantes. <P>Cada día se mueren y nacen nuevas células que reemplazan a las que nos dejaron. Cambiamos a través del tiempo y sin embargo seguimos siendo nosotros mismos, un yo cambiado, pero un yo al fin. <P>¿Cómo es que fuimos reemplazados totalmente, pero seguimos siendo nosotros? Las moléculas biológicas presentes dentro y fuera de cada una de nuestras células, tienen una vida útil corta, de minutos u horas. Las proteínas son las moléculas que hacen que todo en la célula funcione, son los bloques de la vida. Como cualquier función biológica, la memoria también requiere de estos bloques de la vida: la memoria está hecha de proteínas y sus interacciones biológicas. <P> Pero si los recuerdos pueden durar horas, años o toda la vida, ¿cómo puede ser que estén sostenidos por compuestos biológicos que se deshacen en minutos u horas? ¿Cómo persiste la memoria a través del tiempo si su sustrato biológico se degrada? La pregunta no tiene respuesta aún, pero este libro intentará acercarlos lo más que pueda a lo que los científicos conocemos acerca de esta habilidad que tiene el cerebro de almacenar información.

Every chapter starts with a theoretical background, in which relevant definitions and theorems are provided; then, related problems are presented.

100,000 First Bosses: My Unlikely Path as a 22-Year-Old Lawmaker
by Will HaskellThe underdog story of Will Haskell, who became a Democratic state Senator in 2018 at age twenty-two—taking on an incumbent who had been undefeated for Haskell&’s entire life and earning an endorsement from President Obama—and is determined to pave the way for his peers to transform government from the bottom up.President Obama left office with these parting words for Americans: &“If you&’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself.&” Twenty-two-year-old Will Haskell decided to do just that. If he ran for office and won, he would become the youngest state Senator in Connecticut history. For years, Haskell&’s hometown had reelected the same politician who opposed passing paid family leave, fought increases in the minimum wage, and voted down expansions of voting rights. Haskell&’s own vision for Connecticut&’s future couldn&’t be more different, and he couldn&’t stand the idea of an uncontested election. In 2018, he would be a college grad looking for his first job. Why not state Senator? When Haskell kicks off his campaign in the spring of his senior year, he&’s an unknown college kid facing a popular incumbent who&’s been in office for over two decades—as long as Haskell&’s been alive. Haskell&’s campaign manager is his roommate and his treasurer is his girlfriend&’s mom. He doesn&’t have any professional experience. But he does have a powerful message: there&’s no minimum age to being on the right side of history. Six months later, Haskell&’s shocking upset victory gives him a historic seat in the state Senate and the responsibility to serve the 100,000 constituents in his district. Like any first job, his first term as a legislator is filled with trial and error. Creating a program that funds free tuition at Connecticut&’s community colleges—nice work. Falling asleep on the senate floor—needs improvement. In the tradition of Pete Buttigieg&’s Shortest Way Home and Greta Thunberg&’s No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference, 100,000 First Bosses is the story of how one twentysomething candidate waged the campaign of his young life, fought for change at the state capitol, and proved that his generation is ready to claim a seat at the table.
