To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship.

For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world―and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring…and shoot for love.

For every fake date…he wants a real one.Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him.That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.

"We're way more than friends, Jessie." "Blake―" "But no worries. I'll just sit tight until you figure that out." Hosting her brother's wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning's life. Already the family screw-up, she can't afford to fail at this, too. Especially after the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. Nobody―absolutely nobody―can find out about that, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. No matter how devastatingly sexy his smile, he's a giant manchild who's never been serious in his life. And if Jess wants to prove herself to her family, serious is what she has to get. For Blake Riley, this wedding is a gift from fate itself. The girl he has his eye on is the maid of honor, and he's the best man? Let the games begin. So what if Jess is giving him a little―fine, a lot―of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he's really a good boy with a bad rap. Beneath the flirty jokes and goofy smile, he's got layers―even if Jess doesn't want to see them. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you've got to make an effort if you want to score. And Jess is just the girl he wants to win.

Two teens must keep their working–and romantic– relationship a secret from their grandmas, who are longtime social media rivals, in this hilariously sweet rom com from the author of The Homecoming War. Jamie Webb is happy to be the camera-shy brains behind her grandmother BamBam’s social media stardom—especially if it makes college admissions officers notice her. But with BamBam’s antics, creating content isn’t easy. Going to an influencers convention in Las Vegas is just what Jamie needs to relax and get inspired. Well, it is before BamBam learns that Buzzy Timmons, her archnemesis and fellow granfluencer, is also attending—along with her influencer grandson, Ethan. No matter how cute Ethan is, Jamie refuses to hang out with the enemy . . . until she learns about a cash prize for best tourism video. A prize Ethan can help her win. Exploring Vegas with Ethan turns out to be more fun and flirty than Jamie expects. But without BamBam’s blessing, can they ever have anything real?

El avance de la ciencia ha ido modificando radicalmente nuestra manera de comprender el universo a lo largo de la historia. Gracias al progreso científico, los conceptos físicos y matemáticos han transformado nuestra visión: desde Ptolomeo y los pensadores griegos, que concebían el espacio como esferas y mundos planos superpuestos, pasando por Galileo y Kepler, hasta la época moderna, que empieza con la teoría de la gravedad formulada por Newton. En el mundo contemporáneo la revolución científico-técnica vino de la mano de la teoría general de la relatividad de Einstein, que fijó el nuevo paradigma sobre las leyes del universo físico. Desde Einstein, la ciencia ha evolucionado hacia las teorías cuánticas, espacios curvos, geometrías no euclídeas, ideas sobre la antimateria y las partículas y otras formas de aproximación a la realidad.

La revolucionaria y exitosa obra de Roger Penrose El camino a la realidad presentaba una guía completa y comprensible de las leyes que rigen el universo desde nuestro conocimiento actual. En Ciclos del tiempo, su libro más ambicioso, Penrose va mucho más allá: desarrolla una visión inédita de la cosmología y propone una respuesta inesperada a la pregunta "¿Qué pasó antes del Big Bang?". Las dos ideas clave que hay detrás de esta nueva visión son un penetrante análisis de la Segunda Ley de la termodinámica (que establece el principio de la entropía) y el estudio de la geometría de conos de luz del espacio-tiempo. Penrose logra combinar estos dos temas para demostrar que el destino último de nuestro universo en expansión y aceleración puede ser visto como el "big bang" de uno nuevo. Por el camino, nos explica muchos otros ingredientes básicos de esta idea y comenta varios modelos cosmológicos, tanto ortodoxos como heterodoxos, así como el papel fundamental y ubicuo de la radiación cósmica de microondas. Otra parte crucial de su exposición es la relativa a los inmensos agujeros negros detectados en los centros de las galaxias, y su eventual desaparición a través del misterioso proceso de evaporación de Hawking.

¿Qué queremos decir cuando hablamos de antisemitismo? Durante la mayor parte de la historia, el antisemitismo se ha entendido como una amenaza proveniente de la derecha política en Europa hacia la población judía, que culminó con la pesadilla de la Alemania nazi y el Holocausto. En su nuevo libro, Mark Mazower nos describe un panorama actual muy distinto. Más de cuatro quintas partes de los judíos del mundo viven ahora en Israel y Estados Unidos, con el dominio militar del primero sobre su región garantizado por el segundo. Israel se ha convertido en un punto clave para los movimientos anticolonialistas debido a su trato hacia los palestinos, dando lugar a duras críticas desde la izquierda política, en lugar de la derecha como en el pasado.

¿Cómo se relacionan los países? ¿Qué estrategias de poder utilizan? En esta nueva edición actualizada e ilustrada de Así se domina el mundo, el coronel Pedro Baños nos adentra en las incógnitas de estos juegos de dominio entre países y nos desvela las claves y trucos del poder mundial, que son ni más ni menos que unas eficaces reglas universales para conseguir nuestros objetivos manipulando al adversario. Una forma inmejorable de adentrarse en los entresijos de la geopolítica ideal también para aquellos lectores que quieran iniciarse en esta disciplina.
