Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night again. It’s easier said than done. Each year, Lucy escapes to PEI for a big breath of coastal air, fresh oysters and crisp vinho verde with her best friend, Bridget. Every visit begins with a long walk on the beach, beneath soaring red cliffs and a golden sun. And every visit, Lucy promises herself she won’t wind up in Felix’s bed. Again.

It’s late August in Shady Hollow, and intrepid reporter Vera Vixen agrees to chaperone the school’s annual field trip to Summers End, an ancient tomb built by an early woodland culture. Naturally, her good friend Lenore Lee comes along to help her. But when the group enters the tomb one morning, they find a corpse that is distinctly more. . . modern than expected. Digging deeper, Vera and Lenore discover that the deceased was involved in the recent excavation at the site, and very unpopular with their colleagues—including Lenore’s sister, Ligeia. Now the fox and raven must delve into the dark world of academia and archaeology to clear Ligeia’s name. Some creature at Summers End thought they were clever enough to get away with the perfect murder. Can Vera and Lenore unearth the truth in time?

A young woman claims the throne of a realm inspired by Filipino mythology in this YA romantic fantasy, the first in an enchanting new duet by #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz. MJ Rodriguez has spent her life hiding in the human world and guarding a heavy secret: She is half-encanto, a fairy from a hidden realm, and as the only child of King Vivencio, she’s also next in line for the throne. Now, upon her father’s sudden death, MJ must take her place as the king’s rightful heir. In wondrous Biringan, the road to the throne is paved with thorns. MJ has to navigate a backstabbing council that objects to a half-human ruler. And when an ancient curse starts wiping out creatures across the land, she must find and stop the sorceress behind this merciless magic. To succeed, MJ forges an unlikely alliance with the dashing Sir Lucas of the feared Sigbin Court, and soon, she starts falling deeply for the mysterious knight. But with peril looming over the kingdom, the princess must decide if she can open her heart to love—and prove she can carry the weight of the crown.

Even in a family of chaotic necromancers, Daria “Dasha” Avramov has always been an outlier. An event planner at the Arcane Emporium occult megastore, Dasha is also a devil eater: a rare necromantic witch with an affinity for banishing demons and traversing the veil, the boundary between this realm and the next. Still grieving the loss of both beloved parents years ago, and plagued by a dangerous obsession with the world beyond the veil, Dasha is fiery yet guarded, an expert at dodging commitment. Her worst regret is a devastating breakup with the wise, empathetic, and sensual Ivy Thorn, her event-planning counterpart at Honeycake Orchards, and probably the love of Dasha’s life. Dasha has managed to break Ivy’s heart not once, but twice, so things are more than a little tense between them.

Un recorrido por la lucha hacia la igualdad: qué hemos conseguido y qué falta por hacer Existe una evolución tendencial, desde finales del siglo xviii, hacia una mayor igualdad social, económica y política. Esta evolución se ha basado en el desarrollo de una serie de mecanismos institucionales concretos, como la igualdad jurídica, el sufragio universal y la democracia parlamentaria, la educación gratuita y obligatoria, y muchos más. Cada uno de estos mecanismos, lejos de haber alcanzado un estadio final y consensuado, adolecen de múltiples deficiencias y deben ser constantemente repensados, complementados y sustituidos por otros porque, pese a todo, la desigualdad se mantiene en niveles extremadamente altos, incluso insoportables. Con una mezcla de historia y ciencias sociales, este libro muestra el proceso de aprendizaje colectivo sobre instituciones justas y cómo éste se ve a menudo debilitado por la amnesia histórica, el nacionalismo intelectual y la compartimentación del conocimiento. Una lectura optimista que anima a la movilización ciudadana y que busca transcender las fronteras nacionales y disciplinarias para que la igualdad siga su curso. El nuevo ensayo del economista más influyente del momento, autor de los best sellers El capital en el siglo XXI y Capital e ideología, con más de 3 millones de ejemplares vendidos.
