El oráculo de Brioche
By Brioche. 2019
«Hola, amig@s. ¿estáis aburridos en Internet y no sabéis de quién reíros? Entonces habéis llegado al lugar adecuado. Bienvenidos al…
Oráculo de Brioche.» Desde los albores del mundo, siempre ha habido grandes sabios que predecían el futuro; adelantados a su tiempo como Nostradamus, Galileo o Kiko Hernández. Pero, con el cambio de siglo, la adivinación necesitaba un nuevo representante más guapo y con Instagram, con Instagram y más guapo (¿ya lo dijimos?), y así nació: ¡El Oráculo de Brioche! Amores y desamores, infidelidades, likes y dislikes, El Oráculo de Brioche nos revelará los grandes cotilleos del universo, con horóscopo incluido y predicciones que no os podréis creer.An International Bestseller, the Story behind Henry Markram&’s Breakthrough Theory about Autism, and How a Family&’s Unconditional Love Led to…
a Scientific Paradigm Shift Henry Markram is the Elon Musk of neuroscience, the man behind the billion-dollar Blue Brain Project to build a supercomputer model of the brain. He has set the goal of decoding all disturbances of the mind within a generation. This quest is personal for him. The driving force behind his grand ambition has been his son Kai, who has autism. Raising Kai made Henry Markram question all that he thought he knew about neuroscience, and then inspired his groundbreaking research that would upend the conventional wisdom about autism, expressed in his now-famous theory of Intense World Syndrome. When Kai was first diagnosed, his father consulted studies and experts. He knew as much about the human brain as almost anyone but still felt as helpless as any parent confronted with this condition in his child. What&’s more, the scientific consensus that autism was a deficit of empathy didn&’t mesh with Markram&’s experience of his son. He became convinced that the disorder, which has seen a 657 percent increase in diagnoses over the past decade, was fundamentally misunderstood. Bringing his world-class research to bear on the problem, he devised a radical new theory of the disorder: People like Kai don&’t feel too little; they feel too much. Their senses are too delicate for this world.My Life as Crocodile Junk Food (The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle #4)

By Miguel Ángel Rodríguez. 2014
Diario de un ninja, escrito por Miguel Ángel Rodríguez con ese tono humorístico que solo él sabe lograr, narra la…
historia de un ninja que tiene la obligación moral de ayudar a la gente. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, El Sevilla, nació en el año del Perro según el calendario chino, cosa que lo marcó desde la infancia. Aprendió artes marciales y técnicas de defensa personal en la prestigiosa escuela GGG de estudios por correspondencia. El primer día le regalaron una guitarra, solo por haberse matriculado, y en los meses siguientes lo educaron para convertirse en un ninja de primera división. Influenciado por la forma de pensar de Lee Tan Chú (pinche de cocina del restaurante chino que había en su barrio), escribió el libro titulado Como te acerques, te parto la cara, aunque nunca llegó a publicarse por motivos ajenos a su voluntad. El Sevilla da charlas en institutos y universidades para que los jóvenes conozcan la vida de los guerreros japoneses, aunque nunca asiste nadie a ellas. Ahora nos amenaza con este libro en el que cuenta sus experiencias como ninja, obra que, según el propio autor, es algo menos aburrida que una película japonesa.El hombre que hablaba con las ranas: Conversaciones de bar entre un filósofo callejero y un aprendiz batracio
By Miguel Ángel Rodríguez. 2014
Conversaciones de bar entre un filósofo callejero y un aprendiz batracio. Una obra para reír y no parar. Una revisión…
inteligente y lúdica de la realidad donde vivimos con el mejor humor del sur. «Aquel día ocurrió algo que cambió mi vida: estaba en la orilla de un arroyo que hay a las afueras del pueblo en el que vivo sentado en una piedra entre cañas y jaramagos cuando eructé y cuál fue mi sorpresa cuando las ranas me contestaron... Y volví a eructar y me volvieron a responder. Aquello era el milagro de la comunicación. Desde entonces soy El hombre que hablaba con las ranas.» Así comienza el retorno más esperado de Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, El Sevilla, vocalista de Mojinos Escozíos, tras el éxito de ventas de sus dos libros anteriores: Memorias de un Homo erectus y Diario de un ninja. En esta ocasión se ha propuesto demostrar que hay dos tipos de filosofía: laútil y la inútil. En El hombre que hablaba con las ranas nos cuenta que aprendió el idioma de los batracios para filosofar con ellos, que se refugió en una casa para escribir y que el fantasma que la habitaba le sirvió de negro o que viajó en el tiempo para encontrarse consigo mismo. Y gracias a este inesperado don de lenguas construye un desternillante menú filosófico donde los entremeses, los aperitivos, los primeros, los segundos y los postres se convierten en las tesis de una nueva corriente de pensamiento: la filosofía inútil.Special One: Razones por las que Mou es Special y tú no

By Óscar Terol. 2014
Un libro para sacarle todo el provecho al sirimiri y a la chuleta de kilo trescientos. Todos nacemos vascos no…
es un libro de chistes sobre bilbaínos. Todos nacemos vascos tampoco son los sketches del programa de televisión Vaya Semanita que el espectador tantas veces ha visto en los zápines. Dentro de Todos nacemos vascos ni tan siquiera se esconde un libro de recetas de cocina vasca, ni mucho menos una tesina sobre el nacionalismo. Es mucho menos que todo eso. Es simplemente la demostración fehaciente de que todos, también usted, somos vascos o los fuimos en algún tiempo: ¿Folla usted menos de lo que quisiera? ¿Le gusta comer bien? ¿Nunca limpia la escobilla del baño? ¿Tiene una tía monja y lo lleva en secreto? ¿Prefiere una cena con la cuadrilla a una comida familiar? Pues eso, que todos nacemos vascos y algunos siguen siendo vascos toda la vida. Ahora que sus orígenes no tienen nada que envidiarle a los de Javier Clemente o Xavier Arzallus, Todos nacemos vascos le puede ayudar a conocer a sus paisanos, a comprenderlos, y a sacarle todo el provecho al sirimiri y a la chuletas de kilo trescientos.You Can't F*ck Up Your Kids: A Judgment-Free Guide to Stress-Free Parenting

By Kari Lizer. 2020
From award-winning TV comedy writer Kari Lizer (The New Adventures of Old Christine) comes a collection of hilarious essays about…
the challenges of being a woman of a certain age and all that comes with it: empty nest, post #MeToo dating, aging parents, menopausal rage, unrealistic expectations, and eternal optimism. What does it feel like to have your kids leave the house at the same time your parents might need to move in? With self-deprecating humor, sharp wit, and Ephron-esque aplomb, Kari Lizer gives an honest account of finding herself in the middle of growing up, growing old, and still figuring it all out. She finds the wry, bittersweet humor in (almost) all situations--whether it's becoming radioactive during a thyroid cancer treatment, getting fired from her volunteer work, or struggling to find her identity outside of motherhood. Aren't You Forgetting Someone? speaks to those of us who lament the invisibility of the middle-aged woman, but also revel in the unexpected delights of newfound freedom to do whatever the hell we want while no one is looking.Clueless: Lessons on Love, Fashion, and Friendship (RP Minis)

By Michael Arceneaux. 2020
From the New York Times bestselling author of I Can&’t Date Jesus, which Vogue called &“a piece of personal and…
cultural storytelling that is as fun as it is illuminating,&” comes a wry and insightful essay collection that explores the financial and emotional cost of chasing your dreams. Ever since Oprah Winfrey told the 2007 graduating class of Howard University, &“Don&’t be afraid,&” Michael Arceneaux has been scared to death. You should never do the opposite of what Oprah instructs you to do, but when you don&’t have her pocket change, how can you not be terrified of the consequences of pursuing your dreams? Michael has never shied away from discussing his struggles with debt, but in I Don&’t Want to Die Poor, he reveals the extent to which it has an impact on every facet of his life—how he dates; how he seeks medical care (or in some cases, is unable to); how he wrestles with the question of whether or not he should have chosen a more financially secure path; and finally, how he has dealt with his &“dream&” turning into an ongoing nightmare as he realizes one bad decision could unravel all that he&’s earned. You know, actual &“economic anxiety.&” I Don&’t Want to Die Poor is an unforgettable and relatable examination about what it&’s like leading a life that often feels out of your control. But in Michael&’s voice that&’s &“as joyful as he is shrewd&” (BuzzFeed), these razor-sharp essays will still manage to make you laugh and remind you that you&’re not alone in this often intimidating journey.
