Monet Masters of Art
This generously illustrated volume on the work of Monet makes the world’s greatest art accessible to readers of every level of appreciation. Monet’s dazzling depictions of flowers, sunsets, fields, and oceans, in which line and shape are suggested through pure color, changed the way we perceive our natural surroundings. His numerous series, in which he depicts the same object at varying times of the day and in different seasons, pushed the limits of representational art. His final series of water lilies are considered to have ushered in the abstract movement of the twentieth century. Overflowing with images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details, allowing every aspect of the artist’s technique and oeuvre to be appreciated. Chronologically arranged, the book covers important biographical and historic events that reflect the latest scholarship. Additional information includes a list of works, timeline, and suggestions for further reading.

Impressionism Reimagining Art
One of the art world’s most recognizable and popular styles, Impressionism is also one of the most complex.

In this sumptuous overview Norbert Wolf lends his attention to all aspects of Impressionism: its historical precursors, contemporary rivals, and the movements it inspired. Over 200 reproductions of entire works and highlighted details introduce readers to the Impressionists’ aesthetics and techniques. Wolf draws insightful parallels between these paintings and other contemporary works of music, photography, and literature. Charting the movement’s expansion from France to the rest of Europe and North America, this volume shines a spotlight on the main protagonists who were key in the development of Impressionism. It highlights not only the French pioneers — Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte, Édouard Manet, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and others—but also Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, and James McNeill Whistler.

Authoritative and illuminating, this wide-ranging exploration of Impressionism’s astounding impact on art history will surprise even the most seasoned aficionado.

Klimt Masters of Art
The story of Klimt’s astonishing artistic career is told in this beautifully produced collection of reproductions, photographs and drawings with an accompanying text that places the artist in a unique historical moment and reflects his fierce appetite for life and beauty.

Gustav Klimt’s career straddled the last gasps of Vienna’s golden age and the birth of modernism. When seen through this bifurcated lens, it is easy to understand why his relatively small oeuvre created such a lasting impact.

This gorgeously illustrated biography explores the unique environment in which Klimt worked—a society in which the schooling of artists was both appreciated and encouraged; a city that was pouring money into magnificently ornate architecture and portraiture; a population that was both experimenting with and suppressing freedom of thought. The full breadth of Klimt’s accomplishments is represented here—history and symbolist paintings, building decorations, murals, posters, magazine illustrations, portraits, and landscapes.

Readers will learn how Klimt navigated the complex architecture of fin-de-siècle Vienna and helped found the Vienna Secession and they will see how Klimt’s style and motifs changed extensively through the years. Dozens of key works allow for close inspection of Klimt's dazzling artistry, his profound appreciation of female sensuality and his brilliant application of color and mosaic. The author draws out the importance of the relation between the plane surfaces of Klimt’s paintings and the spaces they represent, thereby raising surprising connections between his painting and his skills in the applied arts.

Compact and satisfying, this book traces a singular artist’s trajectory across an ever-changing cultural landscape.

The Bones Beneath My Skin
A spine-tingling standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune—a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government.

There's nothing more human than a broken heart.

In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.

With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.

Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.

Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

Love and Other Paradoxes
One of the greatest love stories in history gets derailed when a struggling poet at Cambridge runs into a time-traveler who agrees to help him find his muse—a thoughtful and uplifting romantic comedy for fans of About Time and The Midnight Library.

Cambridge University, 2005: Student Joe Greene scribbles verses in the margins of his notebook, dreaming of a future where his words will echo through the ages, all while doubting it could ever happen.

Then, the future quite literally finds him—in the form of Esi. She’s part of a time-traveling tour, a trip for people in the future to witness history’s greatest moments firsthand. The star of this tour? Joe Greene. In Esi’s era, Joe is as renowned as Shakespeare. And he’s about to meet Diana, a fellow student and aspiring actress, who will become his muse and the subject of his famous love poems.

But Esi is harboring a secret. She’s not here because she idolizes Joe—actually, she thinks his poetry is overrated. Something will happen at Cambridge this year that will wreck Esi’s life, and she’s hell-bent on changing it. When Esi goes rogue from her tour, she bumps into Joe and sends his destiny into a tailspin. To save both their futures, Esi becomes Joe’s dating coach, helping him win over Diana. But when Joe’s romantic endeavors go off-script—and worse, he starts falling for Esi instead—they both face a crucial question: Is the future set in stone, or can we pen our own fates?

Strangers in Time
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Calamity of Souls comes David Baldacci’s newest novel, set in London in 1944, about a bereaved bookshop owner and two teenagers scarred by the Second World War, and the healing and hope they find in one another.

Fourteen-year-old Charlie Matters is up to no good, but for a very good reason. Without parents, peerage, or merit, he steals what he needs, living day-to-day until he’s old enough to enlist to fight the Germans. After barely surviving the Blitz, Charlie knows there’s no telling when a falling bomb might end his life.

Fifteen-year-old Molly Wakefield has just returned to a nearly unrecognizable London. One of millions of children to have been evacuated to the countryside Molly has been away from her home for nearly five years. Her return, however, is not the homecoming she’d hoped for as she’s confronted by a devastating reality: neither of her parents are there.

Without guardians and stability, Charlie and Molly find an unexpected ally and protector in Ignatius Oliver, and solace at his bookshop, The Book Keep. Mourning the recent loss of his wife, Ignatius forms a kinship with both children, and in each other they rediscover the spirit of family each has lost. But Charlie’s escapades in the city have not gone unnoticed, and someone’s been following Molly since she returned to London. And Ignatius is harboring his own secrets, which could have terrible consequences for all of them.

As bombs continue to bear down on the city, Charlie, Molly, and Ignatius learn that while the perils of war rage on, their coming together and trusting one another may be the only way for them to survive.

Newton. Una biografia breve

Marx y su concepto del hombre
Dos aspectos sobresalientes presenta este breviario: la publicación de los manuscritos económico-filosóficos de Marx, y el análisis que Erich Fromm hace a fin de valorar las tesis marxistas sobre la naturaleza del hombre y su espíritu de independencia. El autor penetra en esas ideas para situar a Marx como "existencialista espiritual", destacando a la vez la índole real de su materialismo histórico y de su socialismo para oponerlos como protesta a la enajenación del hombre en la sociedad industrial.

La teoria politica de Occidente ante el futuro
John Dunn sostiene que las técnicas con que los gobernantes actuales retienen el poder son más modernas que las utilizadas por Maquiavelo, pero se hallan concebidas en los mismos términos prepotentes de forzar un equilibrio mañoso con base en la represión y utilidad del poder mismo.

La nueva América Latina
Entre globalización e identidades, el Estado-nación sufre los embates de la historia. Se integra a la globalización para maximizar su acceso a la riqueza y el poder, formando redes transnacionales, y al hacerlo incrementa la distancia entre el Estado y la nación, entre el imperativo global y la representación local. Es desde allí que surge un anhelo y una política que trata de recuperar desde las raíces de los pueblos el control de la nación frente a la huida de sus élites en pos de la membresía del club de los amos del mundo. En esa tesitura, las instituciones de la democracia liberal, constantemente subvertidas en el siglo XX por golpes militares apoyados por Estados Unidos, acabaron siendo la regla en América Latina, con la excepción posible de Cuba y la diversidad de opiniones sobre otros regímenes, como Venezuela, Nicaragua, Guatemala u Honduras. En el cambio de milenio, América Latina parecía haber llegado a una cierta estabilidad democrática tras siglos de sangre, sudor y lágrimas para alcanzar este punto. Y sin embargo, la crisis de legitimidad política y la corrupción del Estado destruyeron el vínculo de confi anza mínima entre gobernantes y gobernados, fragmentando la sociedad y poniendo en cuestión tanto los liderazgos neopopulistas como las engañosas fachadas de las democracias electorales. El cómo y por qué de dichos procesos son objeto de la investigación presentada en este libro.

La globalizacion de la desigualdad
Estudio sobre los pros y los contras de la globalización y de la consecuente aparición de la desigualdad y la forma en la que nuestra sociedad ha intentado lidiar con ellas. La fluidez de sus exposiciones consigue plantear argumentos irrefutables que pretenden, más que hacer una denuncia, entablar un diálogo con el presente y acaso extender un puente con el futuro de los estudios socioeconómicos que permitan dilucidar los problemas que la globalización trae consigo.
