-Titulo Original : The Color Of Everything A Journey To Quiet The Chaos Within-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: A renowned climber and National Geographic photographer shares his incredible adventures-and the early trauma that drove him to seek such heights. “An extraordinary memoir of mental illness that reads like a thriller.”-Amy Ellis Nutt, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Becoming Nicole “In order to escape madness, I will live madly. I will risk my life in order to save it.” Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild. Despite a seemingly idyllic childhood, the Richards home was fraught with violence, grief, and mental illness. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness. Then, in the midst of a wildly successful career in adventure photography, a catastrophic avalanche changed everything, forcing Richards to confront the trauma of his past, evaluate his own mental health, and learn to rewrite his story. The Color of Everything is a thrilling tale of risk and adventure, written by a man who has done it all: He’s stood at the top of the world, climbed imposing mountain faces alone in the dark, and become the only American to summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter. But it is also the story of a tumultuous life-a stirring, lyrical memoir that captures the profound musings of an unquiet mind grappling with the meaning of success, the cost of fame and addiction, and whether it is possible to outrun your demons. With exquisite prose and disarming candor, accompanied by stunning photos from his career, Richards excavates the roots of his trauma and shares what it took for him to climb out of it...

-Titulo Original : Cue The Sun! The Invention Of Reality Tv-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: The rollicking saga of reality television, a “sweeping” (The Washington Post) cultural history of America’s most influential, most divisive artistic phenomenon, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning New Yorker writer-“a must-read for anyone interested in television or popular culture” (NPR) “Passionate, exquisitely told . . . With muscular prose and an exacting eye for detail . . . [Nussbaum] knits her talents for sharp analysis and telling reportage well.”-The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) Who invented reality television, the world’s most dangerous pop-culture genre? And why can’t we look away? In this revelatory, deeply reported account of the rise of “dirty documentary”-from its contentious roots in radio to the ascent of Donald Trump-Emily Nussbaum unearths the origin story of the genre that ate the world, as told through the lively voices of the people who built it. At once gimlet-eyed and empathetic, Cue the Sun! explores the morally charged, funny, and sometimes tragic consequences of the hunt for something real inside something fake. In sharp, absorbing prose, Nussbaum traces the jagged fuses of experimentation that exploded with Survivor at the turn of the millennium. She introduces the genre’s trickster pioneers, from the icy Allen Funt to the shambolic Chuck Barris; Cops auteur John Langley; cynical Bachelor ringmaster Mike Fleiss; and Jon Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim, the visionaries behind The Real World-along with dozens of stars from An American Family, The Real World, Big Brother, Survivor, and The Bachelor. We learn about the tools of the trade-like the Frankenbite, a deceptive editor’s best friend-and ugly tales of exploitation. But Cue the Sun! also celebrates reality’s peculiar power: a jolt of emotion that could never have come from a script. What happened to the first reality stars, the Louds-and why won’t they speak to the couple who filmed them? Which serial killer won on The Dating Game? Nussbaum explores reality TV as a strike-breaker, the queer roots of Bravo, the dark truth behind The Apprentice, and more. A shrewd observer who adores television, Nussbaum is the ideal voice for the first substantive history of the genre that, for better or worse, made America what it is today...

-Titulo Original : What It Takes To Heal How Transforming Ourselves Can Change The World-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: NATIONAL BESTSELLER * From one of the most prominent voices in the trauma conversation comes a groundbreaking new way to heal on a personal and a collective level. “I love this book.”-Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score “In a time when so many of us are being trained in cynicism, this book stands in necessary defiance.”-Cole Arthur Riley, author of Black Liturgies and This Here Flesh As we emerge from the past few years of collective upheaval, are we ready to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and connection? Now more than ever, we must learn to heal ourselves, connect with one another, and embody our values. In this revolutionary book, Prentis Hemphill shows us how. What It Takes to Heal asserts that the principles of embodiment-the recognition of our body’s sensations and habits, and the beliefs that inform them-are critical to lasting healing and change. Hemphill, an expert embodiment practitioner, therapist, and activist who has partnered with Brene Brown, Tarana Burke, and Esther Perel, among others, shows us that we dont have to carry our emotional burdens alone. Hemphill demonstrates a future in which healing is done in community, weaving together stories from their own experience as a trauma survivor with clinical accounts and lessons learned from their time as a social movement architect. They ask, “What would it do to movements, to our society and culture, to have the principles of healing at the very center? And what does it do to have healing at the center of every structure and everything we create?” In this life-affirming framework for the way forward, Hemphill shows us how to heal our bodies, minds, and souls-to develop the interpersonal skills necessary to break down the doors of disconnection and take the necessary risks to reshape our world toward justice...

-Titulo Original : The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum The Rise And Fall Of An American Organized-crime Boss-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: America’s first great organized-crime lord was a lady-a nice Jewish mother named Mrs. Mandelbaum. “A tour de force . . . With a pickpocket’s finesse, Margalit Fox lures us into the criminal underworld of Gilded Age New York.”-Liza Mundy, author of The Sisterhood In 1850, an impoverished twenty-five-year-old named Fredericka Mandelbaum came to New York in steerage and worked as a peddler on the streets of Lower Manhattan. By the 1870s she was a fixture of high society and an admired philanthropist. How was she able to ascend from tenement poverty to vast wealth? In the intervening years, “Marm” Mandelbaum had become the country’s most notorious “fence”-a receiver of stolen goods-and a criminal mastermind. By the mid-1880s as much as $10 million worth of purloined luxury goods (nearly $300 million today) had passed through her Lower East Side shop. Called “the nucleus and center of the whole organization of crime,” she planned robberies of cash, gold and diamonds throughout the country. But Mrs. Mandelbaum wasn’t just a successful crook: She was a business visionary-one of the first entrepreneurs in America to systemize the scattershot enterprise of property crime. Handpicking a cadre of the finest bank robbers, housebreakers and shoplifters, she handled logistics and organized supply chains-turning theft into a viable, scalable business. The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum paints a vivid portrait of Gilded Age New York-a city teeming with nefarious rogues, capitalist power brokers and Tammany Hall bigwigs, all straddling the line between underworld enterprise and “legitimate” commerce. Combining deep historical research with the narrative flair for which she is celebrated, Margalit Fox tells the unforgettable true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely...

My life is all of these things, and it is none of these things. They continue to miss what’s right in front of them. I love books. I love the sea. I love horses. Children. Art. Ideas. History.

During the White House years, the love between two independent people deepens. Then, a motorcade in Dallas: “Three and a half seconds-that’s all it was-a slivered instant between the first shot, which missed the car, and the second, which did not. . . . A hypnotic burst of sunlight off her bracelet as she waved.” This vivid, exquisitely written novel is at once a captivating work of the imagination and a window into the world of a woman who led many lives: Jackie, Jacks, Jacqueline, Miss Bouvier, Mrs. Kennedy, Jackie O...

-Titulo Original : Becoming Earth How Our Planet Came To Life-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: A vivid account of a major shift in how we understand Earth, from an exceptionally talented new voice. Earth is not simply an inanimate planet on which life evolved, but rather a planet that came to life. One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. We, and all living things, are more than inhabitants of Earth-we are Earth, an outgrowth of its structure and an engine of its evolution. Life and its environment have coevolved for billions of years, transforming a lump of orbiting rock into a cosmic oasis-a planet that breathes, metabolizes, and regulates its climate. Acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr reveals a radical new vision of Earth where lush forests spew water, pollen, and bacteria to summon rain; giant animals engineer the very landscapes they roam; microbes chew rock to shape continents; and microscopic plankton, some as glittering as carved jewels, remake the air and sea. Humans are one of the most extreme examples of life transforming Earth. Through fossil fuel consumption, agriculture, and pollution, we have altered more layers of the planet in less time than any other species, pushing Earth into a crisis. But we are also uniquely able to understand and protect the planet’s wondrous ecology and self-stabilizing processes. Jabr introduces us to a diverse cast of fascinating people who have devoted themselves to this vital work. Becoming Earth isan exhilarating journey through the hidden workings of our planetary symphony-its players, its instruments, and the music of life that emerges-and an invitation to reexamine our place in it. How well we play our part will determine what kind of Earth our descendants inherit for millennia to come...

-Titulo Original : The Call To Serve The Life Of An American President, George Herbert Walker Bush A Visual Biography-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: In honor of the one hundredth anniversary of George H. W. Bush’s birth, this visually stunning chronicle features never-before-published photos and memories celebrating the forty-first president’s vision of leadership as service to country-curated by Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Jon Meacham. Lavishly illustrated, The Call to Serve is an intimate, illuminating portrait of the forty-first president, a man who was so much more than just his politics. In words and images-many found in a lifetime of scrapbooks kept by Barbara Pierce Bush-Jon Meacham brings George H. W. Bush vividly to life. From the values of integrity, empathy, and grace that Bush learned in childhood to his leadership at the highest levels in tumultuous times, the forty-first president embodied an ideal of service that warrants attention in our own divided time. Bush pursued a life of service to America through his heroic combat experience in the Pacific during World War II, his political rise in Texas, his serving as U.S. ambassador to the UN, his time as envoy to China and as director of the CIA, his tenure as Ronald Reagan’s vice president, and his election as the forty-first president of the United States. Set against the background of America during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this book commemorates the legacy of a man who was far from perfect-he could be cutthroat on the campaign trail-but whose ambition was not an end unto itself. Bush’s drive to succeed was, rather, a means to put the values of balance, patriotism, and respect for others into action in the political arena. Toward the end of Bush’s life, the forty-fourth president, Barack Obama, said that Bush put the country first “both before he was president, while he was president, and ever since.” Featuring more than 450 photographs, Meacham’s introduction and commentary throughout, and narration drawn from his biography of George H. W. Bush, Destiny and Power, this is an essential tribute to a uniquely American life...

Can you live life with its conflicts, uncertainties, and disappointments and somehow feel good about yourself? You can. But it requires a completely new orientation.” There are issues, and there are issues-love, loss, success, failure, hope, regret, life, death. How can we even begin to think clearly about dilemmas so universally confounding? Phil Stutz has spent his life pondering the big challenges that we all face, and this profound book puts the conclusions he’s reached at your fingertips. Stutz has been writing these remarkably insightful short essays since the late 1990s, which are collected here for the first time, along with new insights specific to the unique challenges of today. Each one will change the way you think, but taken all together, this book becomes something far more than the sum of its parts: a compendium of human experience and knowledge that will reframe your worldview. There are hard truths here-the acknowledgment that life is full of pain and not a single one of us is special enough to escape it-but we need to understand and accept them in order to realize our full potential. While The Tools explains the general concepts and five specific practices that Stutz employs in treatment, Lessons for Living addresses real-world circumstances, such as the needs of children, rising above envy, defeating your bad habits, the positive side of anger, and facing insecurities, offering a new way to think about life itself...

En este apasionante relato, el Nobel colombiano ofrece la memoria de sus años de infancia y juventud, aquellos en los que se fundaria el imaginario que, con el tiempo, daria lugar a algunos de los relatos y novelas fundamentales en la literatura en lengua española del siglo XX. Estamos ante la novela de una vida, a traves de cuyas paginas Garcia Marquez va descubriendo ecos de personajes e historias que han poblado obras como Cien años de soledad, El amor en los tiempos del colera, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba o Cronica de una muerte anunciada y que convierten Vivir para contarla en una guia de lectura para toda su obra, en acompañante imprescindible para iluminar pasajes inolvidables que, tras la lectura de estas memorias, adquieren una nueva perspectiva. -Mi madre me pidio que la acompañara a vender la casa.

El que se lo dijo le advirtio: Vaya con cuidado porque son locos de remate. Llego a las doce en punto. Se abrio paso con su andar ligero por entre las mesas de libros en exhibicion, se me planto enfrente, mirandome a los ojos con la sonrisa picara de sus dias mejores, y antes que yo pudiera reaccionar, me dijo: Soy tu madre.- Carlos Fuentes dijo... -A los que un dia le diran: Esto fuiste, esto hiciste o esto imaginaste, Gabo se les adelanta y dice simplemente: soy, sere, imagine.

-Titulo Original : Keeping The Faith God, Democracy, And The Trial That Riveted A Nation-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: “Brenda Wineapple’s wonderful account of the Scopes trial sheds light not only on the battles of the past but on the struggles of the present.”-Jon Meacham “History at its most delicious.”-The New York Times Book Review (front page review, Editors’ Choice) The dramatic story of the 1925 Scopes trial, which captivated the nation and exposed profound divisions in America that still resonate today-divisions over the meaning of freedom, religion, education, censorship, and civil liberties in a democracy “Propulsive . . . a terrific story about a pivotal moment in our history.”-Ken Burns “No subject possesses the minds of men like religious bigotry and hate, and these fires are being lighted today in America.” So said legendary attorney Clarence Darrow as hundreds of people descended on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, for the trial of a schoolteacher named John T. Scopes, who was charged with breaking the law by teaching evolution to his biology class in a public school. Brenda Wineapple, the award-winning author of The Impeachers, explores how and why the Scopes trial quickly seemed a circus-like media sensation, drawing massive crowds and worldwide attention. Darrow, a brilliant and controversial lawyer, said in his electrifying defense of Scopes that people should be free to think, worship, and learn. William Jennings Bryan, three-time Democratic nominee for president, argued for the prosecution that evolution undermined the fundamental, literal truth of the Bible and created a society without morals, meaning, and hope. In Keeping the Faith, Wineapple takes us into the early years of the twentieth century-years of racism, intolerance, and world war-to illuminate, through this pivotal legal showdown, a seismic period in American history. At its heart, the Scopes trial dramatized conflicts over many of the fundamental values that define America, and that continue to divide Americans today...

-Titulo Original : El Mito De Ssifo-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: -No hay sino un problema filosofico realmente serio: el suicidio-. El mito de Sisifo es el ensayo fundacional de la filosofia del absurdo, una obra mayuscula que dio a conocer el gran talento de Albert Camus. Publicada en 1942, el mismo año que El extranjero, fue una de las primeras obras que revelaron al publico la inteligencia y la sensibilidad del autor. El titulo del ensayo hace referencia a un personaje de la mitologia griega que enfado a los dioses por su extraordinaria astucia y fue condenado a empujar perpetuamente una piedra enorme montaña arriba. Al llegar a la cima, la piedra volvia a caer hasta el valle, desde donde Sisifo debia volver a empujarla hasta la cumbre, y asi eternamente. Por medio de esta alegoria, Camus discute la cuestion del suicidio y el valor de la vida, presentando a Sisifo como imagen del esfuerzo inutil e incesante del hombre. De este modo plantea la filosofia del absurdo, segun la cual nuestras vidas son insignificantes y no tienen mas valor que el de lo que creamos. Siendo el mundo tan futil, pregunta Camus, ¿que alternativa hay al suicidio...

And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI-a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world. Taking us from the Stone Age, through the canonization of the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism, and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems throughout history have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence. Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and in doing so, rediscovers our shared humanity...

-Titulo Original : Our Evenings A Novel-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: From the internationally acclaimed winner of the Booker Prize, a piercing novel of modern England through the lens of one man’s acutely observed experiences “Our Evenings is a truly astonishing novel, by turns delicate and ferocious, radical in the way it explores questions of race, class, sexuality, and origins.”-Tash Aw, author of Five Star Billionaire Did I have a grievance? Most of us, without looking far, could find something that had harmed us, and oppressed us, and unfairly held us back. I tried not to dwell on it, thought it healthier not to, though I’d lived my short life so far in a chaos of privilege and prejudice. Dave Win, the son of a a Burmese man he’s never met and a British dressmaker, is thirteen years old when he gets a scholarship to a top boarding school. With the doors of elite English society cracked open for him, heady new possibilities emerge, even as Dave is exposed to the envy and viciousness of his wealthy classmates. Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel follows Dave from the 1960s on-through the possibilities that remained open for him, and others that proved to be illusory: as a working-class brown child in a decidedly white institution; a young man discovering queer culture and experiencing his first, formative love affairs; a talented but often overlooked actor, on the road with an experimental theater company; and an older Londoner whose late-in-life marriage fills his days with an unexpected sense of happiness and security. From “one of our most gifted writers” (The Boston Globe), Our Evenings sweeps readers from our past to our present through the beauty, pain, and joy of one deeply observed life...

-Titulo Original : Memoria de mis putas tristes -Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: La ultima novela que escribio Garcia Marquez. Un viejo periodista decide festejar sus noventa años a lo grande, dandose un regalo que le hara sentir que todavia esta vivo: una jovencita virgen, y con ella -el principio de una nueva vida a una edad en que la mayoria de los mortales estan muertos-. En el prostibulo llega el momento en el que ve a la mujer de espaldas, completamente desnuda. Ese acontecimiento cambia su vida radicalmente. Ahora que conoce a esta jovencita se encuentra a punto de morir, pero no por viejo, sino de amor. Asi, Memoria de mis putas tristes cuenta la vida de este anciano solitario, un apasionado de la musica clasica, nada aficionado a las mascotas y lleno de manias. Por el sabremos como en todas sus aventuras sexuales (que no fueron pocas) siempre dio a cambio algo de dinero, pero nunca imagino que de ese modo encontraria el verdadero amor.

Me acorde de Rosa Cabarcas, la dueña de una casa clandestina que solia avisar a sus buenos clientes cuando tenia una novedad disponible. Nunca sucumbi a esa ni a ninguna de sus muchas tentaciones obscenas, pero ella no creia en la pureza de mis principios. Tambien la moral es un asunto de tiempo, decia, con una sonrisa maligna, ya lo veras.- El escritor Álvaro Mutis ha dicho... -Memoria de mis putas tristes es una obra maestra. Es un texto magistral, extraordinario....

Y sigue presente [...] porque es un tipo que nos pertenece todos, porque es un clasico.- Dario Jaramillo La historia de amor entre Fermina Daza y Florentino Ariza, en el escenario de un pueblecito portuario del Caribe y a lo largo de mas de sesenta años, podria parecer un melodrama de amantes contrariados que al final vencen por la gracia del tiempo y la fuerza de sus propios sentimientos, ya que Garcia Marquez se complace en utilizar los mas clasicos recursos de los folletines tradiciones. Pero este tiempo -por una vez sucesivo, y no circular-, este escenario y estos personajes son como una mezcla tropical de plantas y arcilla que la mano del maestro moldea y con las que fantasea a su placer, para al final ir a desembocar en los territorios del mito y la leyenda. Los jugos, olores y sabores del tropico alimentan una prosa alucinatoria que en esta ocasion llega al puerto oscilante del final feliz. -Era inevitable: el olor de las almendras amargas le recordaba siempre el destino de los amores contrariados. El doctor Juvenal Urbino lo percibio desde que entro en la casa todavia en penumbras, adonde habia acudido de urgencia a ocuparse de un caso que para el habia dejado de ser urgente desde hacia muchos años. El refugiado antillano Jeremiah de Saint-Amour, invalido de guerra, fotografo de niños y su adversario de ajedrez mas compasivo, se habia puesto a salvo de los tormentos de la memoria con un sahumerio de cianuro de oro. Encontro el cadaver cubierto con una manta en el catre de campaña donde habia dormido siempre, cerca de un taburete con la cubeta que habia servido para vaporizar el veneno.- La critica dijo: -La voz garciamarquiana alcanza aqui un nivel en el que resulta a la vez clasica y coloquial, opalescente y pura, capaz de alabar y maldecir, de reir y llorar, de fabular y cantar, de despegar y volar cuando es necesario.- Thomas Pynchon, The New York Time...

-Titulo Original : Los Suenos de Mi Padre, Spanish version-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American.

-Titulo Original : From Here to the Great Unknown: Oprah's Book Club: A Memoir-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK * Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough. In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran toward his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world. To make her mother known. This extraordinary book is written in both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter communicating-from this world to the one beyond-as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other-the last words of the only child of an American icon...
