El dilema democratico
Basándose en años de investigación y siguiendo los pasos de Douglass C. North, Jared Diamond, Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt, Anne Applebaum y de Yuval Noah Harari; Merrian, Cálix y Núñez revelan lo que para ellos es el dilema democrático, sus circunstancias y las posibles respuestas.

EL DILEMA DEMOCRÁTICO plantea un revelador estudio comparativo de cómo quince cambios gubernamentales han incidido en los principales indicadores de desarrollo de Honduras. Merrian, Cálix y Núñez identifican diversas hipótesis al respecto y dirigen su mirada a los aspectos económicos, sociales y políticos que repercuten en la sociedad.

Desde el quiebre democrático de 1963 hasta el paulatino desgaste y rotundo debilitamiento del sistema constitucional en 2009 y 2017, los autores hacen un interesante recorrido que nos lleva a interpretar la Honduras autoritaria y democrática.

Como luchar contra un dictador
«Por su esfuerzo por salvaguardar la libertad de expresión como condición imprescindible para la democracia y la paz duradera.» Con esas palabras reconocía la Academia sueca la labor y el esfuerzo de Maria Ressa. Este libro es el mejor resumen de su trayectoria y de los principios éticos que rigen su pensamiento y su labor como periodista.

Maria Ressa ha dedicado su vida a defender la verdad y a luchar contra el autoritarismo. Su meticuloso trabajo de investigación ha sacado a la luz las redes y técnicas de desinformación desarrolladas por el Gobierno de Filipinas, que utiliza las nuevas tecnologías para difundir sus mentiras y suscitar la ira y el odio entre sus ciudadanos. Sus principios la han llevado a enfrentarse al hombre más poderoso del país: el presidente Duterte. Hoy, perseguida por el Estado, se han dictado varias órdenes de detención contra ella y se enfrenta a más de cien años de prisión. Su delito: decir la verdad.

Cómo luchar contra un dictador cuenta la historia de cómo las democracias mueren ante la violencia continuada y la inmoralidad de los gobernantes, y de cómo una amenaza invisible ha contagiado internet, destruyendo nuestras libertades una a una. Se trata de las numerosas campañas de desinformación que se propagan por las redes sociales: desde la guerra contra las drogas del presidente Duterte hasta el asalto al Capitolio; desde el Brexit hasta la ciberguerra rusa y china; desde Facebook y el resto de Silicon Valley hasta nuestros propios clics y votos. Narrado desde las trincheras de la guerra digital, este libro es una llamada urgente para la toma de conciencia y la defensa de nuestras democracias.

Las chicas del Gueto
Hanna Majewski y su hermana menor, Stefa, no pueden ser más diferentes: mientras que Hanna deja Polonia para vivir libre de las ataduras que su religión le impone, Stefa es una adolescente modelo, obediente y comprometida con las tradiciones judías. Sin embargo, ambas están seguras de que el amor que sienten la una por la otra es incondicional y, por eso, cuando la Segunda Guerra Mundial estalla y los nazis comienzan a sacar de sus hogares a miles de judíos para encerrarlos en el gueto de Varsovia, Hanna decide regresar a su patria para salvar a su familia, sin importarle que esto pueda costarle la vida.

Adiestrada como espía por la Dirección de Operaciones Especiales de Inglaterra, Hanna se logra infiltrar en el gueto de Varsovia. Ahí, junto a Stefa y Janka, una vecina que vive en la zona aria de la ciudad, Hanna forma Las chicas del gueto, un grupo que se organiza para salvar la vida de sus seres queridos y la de tantos judíos como sea posible.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
The beloved coming-of-age novel from the author whose “name has long been synonymous with young adult fiction” (Los Angeles Times).

“Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is very special.” (Amy Poehler, quoted on Vulture.com)

“Generations of teenage girls have grown up reading the tales of teenage angst told by beloved author Judy Blume.” (Mashable.com)

Margaret Simon, almost 12, has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and she’s anxious to fit in with her new friends. When she’s asked to join a secret club, she jumps at the chance. But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she’s normal. There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends.

Lucky for Margaret, she’s got someone else to confide in...someone who always listens.

“The first Judy Blume books I read...served as a kind of introduction to myself.” (John Green quoted in The New York Times)

Love, Theoretically
Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.

The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.

Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he’s the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.

Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

What Was World War I
This compelling addition to the What Was? series covers what was supposed to be “the war to end all wars” but tragically wasn't.

In 1914, the assassination of an Austrian archduke set off a disastrous four-year-long conflict involving dozens of countries with battles taking place in all parts of the world. World War I was the first to use planes and tanks as well as deadly gases that left soldiers blinded or “shell shocked” (a condition now called Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome). There were battles that lasted for months with opposing troops fighting from rat-infested trenches, battles that often ended in a hollow victory with only a small area of land retaken. The author of many successful Who HQ titles Nico Medina gives young readers a clear and compelling account of this long and tragic event, a war that left over 20 million dead and was the lead-up to World War II barely twenty years later.

The Wind Knows My Name
This powerful and moving novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea and Violeta weaves together past and present, tracing the ripple effects of war and immigration on one child in Europe in 1938 and another in the United States in 2019.

Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht—the night his family loses everything. As her child’s safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuel’s mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin.

Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Díaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Durán, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita’s mother.

Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers—and never stop dreaming

Quien fue Ponce de Leon
A principios del siglo XVI, Ponce de León era una de las figuras militares españolas más importantes del Caribe. Realizó su primer viaje a través del Atlántico con Cristóbal Colón y luego, tras años de lucha con los nativos taínos, se convirtió en el primer gobernador de Puerto Rico. Aunque la historia de su búsqueda de la Fuente de la Juventud es totalmente ficticia, su notable expedición a Florida (y su nombramiento) es uno de sus mayores legados.

Demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace must endure the terrors of Tartarus to rescue an old friend in this thrilling adventure co-written by New York Times #1 best-selling author Rick Riordan and award-winning author Mark Oshiro.

Percy Jackson fans, rejoice! Nico and Will have a book of their own!

As the son of Hades, Nico di Angelo has been through so much, from the premature deaths of his mother and sister, to being outed against his will, to losing his friend Jason during the trials of Apollo. But there is a ray of sunshine in his life—literally: his boyfriend, Will Solace, the son of Apollo. Together the two demigods can overcome any obstacle or foe. At least, that's been the case so far...

Now Nico is being plagued by a voice calling out to him from Tartarus, the lowest part of the Underworld. He thinks he knows who it is: a reformed Titan named Bob whom Percy and Annabeth had to leave behind when they escaped Hades's realm. Nico's dreams and Rachel Dare's latest prophecy leave little doubt in Nico's mind that Bob is in some kind of trouble. Nico has to go on this quest, whether Mr. D and Chiron like it or not. And of course Will insists on coming with. But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"

Nico will have to face demons both internal and external as his relationship with Will is tested to the core in this standalone adventure featuring two of the most popular characters in the Percy Jackson saga.

The Forgotten Five 1: Map of Flames
Fifteen years ago, eight supernatural criminals fled Estero City to make a new life in an isolated tropical hideout. Over time, seven of them disappeared without a trace, presumed captured or killed. And now, the remaining one has died.

Left behind to fend for themselves are the criminals’ five children, each with superpowers of their own: Birdie can communicate with animals. Brix has athletic abilities and can heal quickly. Tenner can swim like a fish and can see in the dark and hear from a distance. Seven’s skin camouflages to match whatever is around him. Cabot hasn’t shown signs of any unusual power—yet.

Then one day Birdie finds a map among her father’s things that leads to a secret stash. There is also a note:

Go to Estero, find your mother, and give her the map.

The five have lived their entire lives in isolation. What would it mean to follow the map to a strange world full of things they’ve only heard about, like cell phones, cars, and electricity? A world where, thanks to their parents, being supernatural is a crime?

The Forgotten Five 2: The Invisible Spy
X-Men meets Spy Kids in the thrilling second installment in The Forgotten Five fantasy/adventure series that began with the instant New York Times bestseller Map of Flames.

The forgotten five have made it to Estero to search for their missing supernatural criminal parents. With the help of their new allies, Lada and The Librarian, they’ve managed to find Birdie and Brix’s mother, Elena, and free her from captivity in the presidential palace. Now the president’s henchmen are searching everywhere for the children who broke out Elena, driving the group into hiding in the ancient underground tunnels beneath the city.

Meanwhile, President Fuerte is making headlines for his nighttime flights to other countries accompanied by an invisible man. But why would the president who outlawed supernaturals be working with the people he supposedly hates? And could it be that some of the five’s own parents are helping him?

The fantasy adventure that began with the New York Times and Indie bestseller Map of Flames continues as the five join the fight against the oppression of supernaturals in Estero, face off against an unexpected enemy, and undertake a new mission that will put all of their abilities—and their loyalties—to the test.

El viento conoce mi nombre Ed. Tapa dura
Una conmovedora novela de violencia, solidaridad, amor y redención, que narra las historias entrecruzadas de dos niños unidos por el desarraigo.

Viena, 1938. Samuel Adler es un niño judío de seis años cuyo padre desaparece durante la Noche de los Cristales Rotos, en la que su familia lo pierde todo. Su madre, desesperada, le consigue una plaza en un tren que lo llevará desde la Austria nazi hasta Inglaterra. Samuel emprenderá una nueva etapa con su fiel violín y con el peso de la soledad y la incertidumbre, que lo acompañarán siempre en su dilatada vida.

Arizona, 2019. Ocho décadas más tarde, Anita Díaz, de siete años, sube con su madre a bordo de otro tren para escapar de un inminente peligro en El Salvador y exiliarse en Estados Unidos. Su llegada coincide con una nueva e implacable política gubernamental que la separa de su madre en la frontera. Sola y asustada, lejos de todo lo que le es familiar, Anita se refugia en Azabahar, el mundo mágico que solo existe en su imaginación. Mientras tanto, Selena Durán, una joven trabajadora social, y Frank Angileri, un exitoso abogado, luchan por reunir a la niña con su madre y por ofrecerle un futuro mejor.

En El viento conoce mi nombre pasado y presente se entrelazan para relatar una historia sobre los sacrificios que a veces los padres deben hacer por sus hijos, sobre la sorprendente capacidad de algunos niños para sobrevivir a la violencia sin dejar de soñar, y sobre la tenacidad de la esperanza, que puede brillar incluso en los momentos más oscuros.
