Los hombres rana son Navy seal que han demostrado valentía inigualable, adaptabilidad y resistencia ante los desafíos, por lo que se les han encomendado las misiones más importantes, como audaces rescates en altamar. Después de casi 40 años de carrera, el almirante McRaven, autor de esta obra, fue condecorado como Bull Frog, que es el más alto honor al que aspira un hombre rana y que habla del memorable legado que deja. A lo largo de su trayectoria, superó inimaginables situaciones de crisis, así como dilemas éticos que lo llevaron a aprender grandes lecciones de liderazgo, como: Quien se atreve gana. Escucha a tus tropas, a tu equipo. Ningún plan sobrevive al primer contacto con el enemigo.

CAT'S PEOPLE

Noria, a single-by-choice barista with a little resentment for the "crazy cat lady" label, is a member of The Meow-Yorkers, a group in Brooklyn who takes care of the neighborhood's stray cats. On her volunteering days, she starts finding Post-it notes left by a secret admirer in the area where she feeds her favorite stray-a black cat named Cat. Like most felines, he is both curious and observant, so of course he knows who the notes are from. Noria, however, is clueless. Are the notes from Collin, a bestselling author and self-professed hermit with a weakness for good coffee? Are they from Lily, a fresh-out-of-high-school Georgia native searching for her long-lost half sister? Are they from Omar, the beloved neighborhood mailman going through an early midlife crisis? Or are they from Bong, the grieving widower who owns Noria's favorite bodega?

AUDITION

Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He s attractive, troubling, young young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day partner, parent, creator, muse and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.

BREVE HISTORIA DE LOS DOCUMENTOS

Vivimos en un mundo "archivodependiente": desde la partida de nacimiento hasta el correo electrónico que manejamos a diario, nuestra vida gira en torno a los documentos sin que hayamos podido escogerlo. En este libro, fruto de cuatro décadas de investigación, José Ramón Cruz Mundet nos retrotrae hasta el origen de los documentos (Sumer, esa ciudad inventada por burócratas) y explica sus distintos soportes, de las tablillas de barro a la nube; los usos diversos que han tenido; qué hacemos con ellos cuando ya no los necesitamos (por ejemplo, inventar los archivos); qué papel juegan las falsificaciones y la mentira convertida en documento y, por último, analiza las tensiones entre el Estado y la ciudadanía por el ejercicio de la libertad de información.
