This is the book that will forever change the way we understand and treat mental health. If you or someone you love is affected by mental illness, it might change your life.We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise.

Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 400 “nudge units” in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful “choice architecture”—a concept the authors invented—to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.Now, the authors have rewritten the book from cover to cover, making use of their experiences in and out of government over the past dozen years as well as an explosion of new research in numerous academic disciplines. To commit themselves to never undertaking this daunting task again, they are calling this the “final edition.” It offers a wealth of new insights, for both its avowed fans and newcomers to the field, about a wide variety of issues that we face in our daily lives—COVID-19, health, personal finance, retirement savings, credit card debt, home mortgages, medical care, organ donation, climate change, and “sludge” (paperwork and other nuisances we don’t want, and that keep us from getting what we do want)—all while honoring one of the cardinal rules of nudging: make it fun!

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERA riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.«Gorgeously written, humorous, compelling, life affirming» Justin Webb, Mail on Sunday.In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of ''hope and change,'' and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.«What is unexpected in A Promised Land is the former president's candour» David Olusoga, Observer

Una retrospectiva única de Mick Rock, el fotógrafo oficial y socio creativo de David Bowie, recopilada en 2015 con el consentimiento del propio Bowie. En 1972, David Bowie publicó su revolucionario álbum The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Con él nació también el alter ego Stardust de Bowie: un ser de vestimenta reluciente, rímel en los ojos y sexualmente ambiguo que rompió las fronteras entre lo masculino y lo femenino, lo heterosexual y lo homosexual, la realidad y la ficción en un cambiante y brillante fenómeno de autoexpresión de los años setenta. Ziggy, el álbum, y Ziggy, el espectáculo, convirtieron al londinense de voz suave en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo.Uno de los pasajeros clave en ese viaje glam rumbo a la estratosfera fue Mick Rock, también de Londres. Rock estableció vínculos artísticos y personales muy estrechos con Bowie, pasó a formar parte del círculo íntimo del cantante y trabajó, en 1972 y 1973, como su fotógrafo oficial. Esta colección de fotografías reúne instantáneas espectaculares sobre el escenario y retratos íntimos en el backstage. El libro celebra la experimentación y reinvención audaz de Bowie. Una visión sin precedentes de las múltiples facetas del artista. Jugando con lo distante y lo accesible, lo divertido y lo serio, este apasionado tributo se regocija en la experimentación y la imprevisibilidad, y celebra la eterna inspiración de un artista audaz y excepcional que siempre será recordado.

Hasta el siglo XX, el juego de los niños no era un asunto al que se prestara mucha atención. Si bien existen objetos para el entretenimiento de los niños desde la Antigüedad, solo la producción industrial en masa y el desarrollo de una clase media urbana permitió su difusión generalizada. A medida que la venta de juguetes adquiría una importancia económica cada vez mayor, surgió una industria dispuesta a surtir a este nuevo mercado con los objetos de su deseo. Los fabricantes europeos dominaban la industria del juguete, y Alemania en particular abastecía a gran parte del mercado estadounidense tanto con artículos singulares como producidos en serie. La Primera Guerra Mundial terminó con su dominio. En la década de 1920, los juguetes estadounidenses se volvieron omnipresentes estimulados por el optimismo del país y una cultura consumista en constante crecimiento respaldada por imperios mediáticos de la prensa escrita, la radio y la televisión. Con los niños en el punto de mira, el mercado se inundó de productos que se deseaban y vendían por millones. Desde muñecas con vestidos de volantes hasta juegos de ciencia, la publicidad no dejaba de interpelar a los niños a través de revistas, cómics y, más adelante, la televisión. Los juguetes mantuvieron los roles familiares de género mientras evolucionaban con el subtexto tácito de estimular las mentes en desarrollo y ser vehículos de resolución de problemas con valor educativo. Si la primera parte del siglo XX supuso el auge de los juguetes en Estados Unidos, el periodo de posguerra estuvo marcado por el baby boom. El fenómeno impulsó la industria del juguete y la proyectó hasta lo que es hoy. La revolución técnica marcó de forma imprevista el capítulo siguiente de la historia de la industria, que coincidiendo con el cambio de siglo creó una nueva dimensión de juguetes que iban a fascinar a niños y adultos.
