NOVEDADES

This is Bunny Williams’ most ambitious book to date. Inviting us into her impressive grounds with charming personal anecdotes, expert advice, and hundreds of stunning photographs–printed on two different speciality stocks–Bunny Williams illustrates every aspect of the gardens surrounding her eighteenth-century manor house in Northwestern Connecticut in different lights and seasons. A popular stop on the Garden Conservancy circuit, Williams’ property boasts a parterre garden,year-round conservatory, extensive vegetable garden, orchard, woodlands, an aviary with exotic fowl, and a rustic poolside Greek Revival–style folly. Each section of the garden is accompanied by adirectory of featured plants—from native ferns and succulents to a wide variety of flowering specimens.

From the dragon-filled Temeraire series and the gothic magical halls of the Scholomance trilogy, through the realms next door to Spinning Silver and Uprooted, this stunning collection takes us from fairy tale to fantasy, myth to history, and mystery to science fiction as we travel through Naomi Novik’s most beloved stories. Here, among many others, we encounter: • A mushroom witch who learns that sometimes the worst thing in the Scholomance can be your roommate. • The start of the Dragon Corps in ancient Rome, after Mark Antony hatches a dragon’s egg and bonds with the hatchling. • A young bride in the Middle Ages who finds herself gambling with Death for the highest of stakes. • A delightful reimagining of Pride & Prejudice, in which Elizabeth Bennet captains a Longwing dragon. • The first glimpse of the world of Abandon, the setting of Novik’s upcoming epic fantasy series—a deserted continent populated only by silent and enigmatic architectural mysteries. Though the stories are vastly different, there is a unifying theme: wrestling with destiny, and the lengths some will go to find their own and fulfill its promise.

¿De dónde venimos, quiénes somos, adónde vamos? Responder a esas tres célebres preguntas parece imposible pero, sorprendentemente, es convergente con la búsqueda de los científicos de la teoría del todo y su empeño por encontrar algún día un Santo Grial que responda a nuestras principales cuestiones. Este libro trata de averiguar si existe esa piedra filosofal que rige la totalidad de la existencia. Con un lenguaje divulgativo y atractivo, al tiempo que riguroso como buen economista, el sabio humanista, Ramón Tamames, busca a Dios en el universo. Pues la existencia de un principio responsable de toda la evolución parece ser avalada por la ciencia, según los testimonios de muchos de los principales científicos del siglo XX a los que Tamames refiere en esta obra.
