Una crónica de los hibakusha, los supervivientes de las bombas atómicas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, dos de los acontecimientos más…
impactantes del siglo XX. En Hiroshima, la angustia de los afectados se mezcla con la compasión, y cierta dosis de ternura, para componer el relato de sus vidas en las dos ciudades japonesas, convertidas en símbolos de paz; justo cuando regresa el miedo global a las armas nucleares. A través de entrevistas, Agustín Rivera recoge las voces, en primera persona, de las víctimas de una tragedia que marcó su existencia para siempre: el dolor, las secuelas e incluso el sentimiento de culpa por no haber podido ayudar a otros afectados en peor situación. El libro narra además la experiencia del autor como reportero de Diario 16, El Mundo y El Confidencial en las coberturas periodísticas en Hiroshima y Nagasaki en 1995, 2001 y 2012. Una obra para descubrir el ruido eterno de los muertos y la capacidad de superación, sin olvidar que somos memoria.

Introducing Detective Stilwell: a cop relentlessly following his mission in the seemingly idyllic setting of Catalina Island. Los Angeles County…
Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been “exiled” to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found weighed down at the bottom of the harbor—a Jane Doe identifiable at first only by a streak of purple dye in her hair. At the same time, a report of poaching on a protected reserve turns into a case fraught with violence and danger as Stilwell digs into the shady past of an island bigwig. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, Stilwell doggedly works both cases. Though hampered by an old beef with an ex-colleague determined to thwart him at every turn, he is convinced he is the only one who can bring justice to the woman known as “Nightshade.” Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city. Propulsive and atmospheric, Nightshade launches a brand new character into the Connelly universe, and proves without question that Michael Connelly is “the undisputed master of the modern crime novel” (Real Book Spy).

had an enormous influence on the growth and prosperity of nations. The Invention of Enterprise gathers together, for the first time, leading economic historians to explore the entrepreneur's role in society from antiquity to the present. Addressing social and institutional influences from a historical context, each chapter examines entrepreneurship during a particular period and in an important geographic location.The book chronicles the sweeping history of enterprise in Mesopotamia and Neo-Babylon; carries the reader through the Islamic Middle East; offers insights into the entrepreneurial history of China, Japan, and Colonial India; and describes the crucial role of the entrepreneur in innovative activity in Europe and the United States, from the medieval period to today. In considering the critical contributions of entrepreneurship, the authors discuss why entrepreneurial activities are not always productive and may even sabotage prosperity. They examine the institutions and restrictions that have enabled or impeded innovation, and the incentives for the adoption and dissemination of inventions. They also describe the wide variations in global entrepreneurial activity during different historical periods and the similarities in development, as well as entrepreneurship's role in economic growth. The book is filled with past examples and events that provide lessons for promoting and successfully pursuing contemporary entrepreneurship as a means of contributing to the welfare of society.The Invention of Enterprise lays out a definitive picture for all who seek an understanding of innovation's central place in our world.
