¿Qué te habría gustado que te contaran?Nadie está preparado para crecer y enfrentarse a la vida adulta (decidir qué estudiar, a qué dedicarte, encontrar trabajo y que te paguen, independizarte, enamorarte, sufrir...), pero, si tuvieras la oportunidad de hablar con tu yo adolescente, ¿qué te dirías?
¿Cansadx de que el machirulado te explique cosas que ya sabes, de que tu depilación se convierta en una cuestión de Estado o de que te hagan sentir como alguien que no sabe ponerse solx ni un calcetín? Amigx, no estás solx. Ya va siendo hora de que visibilicemos todos estos comportamientos que no aportan nada y nos agotan. ¡Llámame feminazi, que no me voy a callar!
En Newham, la ciudad que nunca duerme, no hay sueños: solo hay pesadillas.Desde hace unos años, una extraña enfermedad se ha extendido entre la población: cualquiera que se quede dormido y sueñe, despertará convertido en aquello que más lo aterroriza. Los monstruos resultantes son tan diversos como los miedos de cada ciudadano: desde criaturas deformes en su apariencia, cuya mente y sentimientos siguen siendo humanos, hasta seres espantosos que causan masacres y arrasan lo que encuentran. Esto último es lo que aterra a Ness desde que, hace ocho años, su hermana mayor se convirtió en una araña gigante que devoró a su padre. Ness no sabe qué le produce más miedo: si el peligro de que alguna otra Pesadilla la asesine, o el de acabar como su hermana. Por si fuera poco, a sus diecinueve años Ness no tiene familia, trabajo ni nadie que se preocupe por ella. Esa es la razón de que se aferre a su puesto en la Sociedad del Alma en Reposo, una dudosa organización que puede -o no- ser una secta. Sin embargo, la cobardía de Ness tiene un coste, y el director de la ¿secta? en la que vive está a punto de echarla tras un incidente en el que su actitud pone en peligro a sus...

Primera guía de identificación de aves ibéricas elaborada con un criterio biogeográfico, dedicada a las especies de la Región Eurosiberiana (coloquialmente la España verde). Describe e ilustra las 286 especies de presencia regular en el territorio considerado, tanto residentes como migrantes en paso, estivales reproductoras e invernantes. Las descripciones son claras, concisas y centradas en los caracteres morfológicos, de plumaje (con variaciones geográficas —subespecies—, estacionales, por edad y por sexo) y de conducta que permiten reconocer cada especie y diferenciarla de otras similares; las más parecidas entre sí aparecen en la misma página o en páginas enfrentadas para facilitar la comparación. Más de 700 ilustraciones de gran calidad representan todas las especies tratadas, por lo general en los plumajes de adulto y juvenil, el primero con sus variaciones sexuales y/o estacionales, y en la actitud (posadas o en vuelo) en la que es más frecuente observarlas. Las fichas de especies aportan información actualizada sobre el estatus, la abundancia y la distribución de cada una, reflejada en un mapa, así como sobre sus preferencias de hábitat. Los...
Every industry has its standard professional directory -- advertising has its Black Book, manufacturing its Thomas's Register -- except, that is, for architecture...and design...and construction. While there are dozens of smaller directories, each addressing a specific market niche, none speak to all three industries in a comprehensive way. And larger product directories, like Sweets, are advertising driven and therefore incomplete. Felder's Comprehensive is the first pan-industry guide of its kind, and it is many times more comprehensive than the nearest competitor. It is an annual desk reference, directory, and product source guide with more reference information than any other title currently available. It contains thousands of listings of time-sensitive and timeless reference information for anyone involved in the business or practice of architecture, design, design/build, construction, interior design, facility management, and real-estate development. For example, readers can find listings for more than 12,000 manufacturers of furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and materials listed alphabetically, and, most importantly, by product category. Felder's also lists design...

Handbook on Trade and the Environment is a good source for those looking for a better understanding of political issues, of legal debates, and of the state of discussion between government, industry, NGO, and private sector groups on topics that are not often treated elsewhere. Judith M. Dean, World Trade Review I would recommend the book to anyone concerned with the interaction of trade and the environment. John Goodier, Reference Reviews In this comprehensive reference work, Kevin Gallagher has compiled a fresh and broad-ranging collection of expert voices commenting on the interdisciplinary field of trade and the environment. For over two decades policymakers and scholars have been struggling to understand the relationship between international trade in a globalizing world and its effects on the natural environment. The authors in this Handbook provide the tools to do just that. The editor s well-worked introduction synthesizes the emerging themes of the collection, which is divided into three sections: trade and environmental quality, trade and environmental politics, and trade and environmental policy. Topics include the extent to which trade liberalization creates pollution...
This Index contains literature references to -- 10,000 research papers on physical properties of metals and alloys. The Index contains all NMR Knight shift papers and soft x-ray emission papers. It also contains many soft x-ray absorption papers and a number of papers on generally related topics such as susceptibilities, specific heats, hyperfine fields, and band structures. The papers are annotated in depth and the coded information put onto a magnetic tape. The Permuted Materials Index was created from this tape, listing alloys under each of their constituent components (i.e., CuNi appears under CuNi and under NiCu alloys).
