NOVEDADES

Durante demasiado tiempo la ciencia se ha centrado casi en exclusiva en el cuerpo masculino. En los últimos quince años investigadores de diversas disciplinas han realizado nuevos e interesantes descubrimientos sobre cómo se desarrolló el cuerpo femenino, cómo funciona y qué significa biológicamente ser mujer: ¿por qué menstrúan?, ¿por qué tienen más posibilidades de desarrollar alzhéimer?, ¿de qué modo las nodrizas hicieron avanzar la civilización? En Eva, Cat Bohannon responde a preguntas que deberían haberse abordado hace décadas. Mientras rastrea los últimos doscientos millones de años para iluminar el modo en que lo femenino contribuyó de manera decisiva a que el Homo sapiens se convirtiera en una especie tan exitosa, esta obra consigue hacer una revisión monumental de la historia humana, una corrección urgente y necesaria para alcanzar un conocimiento pleno de la evolución. Bohannon despliega una extraordinaria combinación de historia y divulgación que hace que este ensayo épico se lea entre el asombro y la sonrisa, gracias a una minuciosa investigación fruto del trabajo de diez años y a un talento narrativo que la lleva a transitar por la biología, la antropología o la ciencia cognitiva mientras «equilibra el rigor científico con una prosa increíblemente entretenida» (Publishers Weekly).

Cuando Sofía acudió a aquella aburrida fiesta vestida de Catwoman, lo último que pensó fue que acabaría fugándose de la mano de Thor y viviendo la noche más disparatada de su vida por culpa de esa lista que encontraron con 101 cosas que hacer antes de morir. Pero toda noche llega a su amanecer… Y esta ha dejado una resaca terrible. Por suerte, la posibilidad de coincidir de nuevo con Thor en una ciudad de nueve millones de habitantes es bastante remota. A no ser que Thor haya llegado para quedarse.

Love and loyalty run deeper than blood. St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger. . . . Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

Everything is finally going right for Emry Merlin. Now that Arthur is the king and her wayward magic is under control, she’s enjoying life as Camelot’s official court wizard—and as Arthur’s girlfriend. But when an unexpected visitor arrives at court, Emry finds her hard-won position threatened. And Arthur is torn between listening to his advisors and following his heart. Even more troubling, war is on the horizon, with King Yurien’s access to dark magic ensuring Camelot’s doom. That is, unless Emry, Arthur, and Lance can find a way to defeat the evil sorceress Bellicent with magic from her own world. But undertaking a quest to Anwen is perilous business, and our young heroes will face many obstacles on their journey—from dangerous beasts to suspicious nobles to cursed maidens determined to find someone to marry. Can Emry and Arthur save their kingdom and fix their relationship, or will they have to choose between their future and Camelot’s?
