So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine - a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy.Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, the bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer, and What If? 2, coming September 13, 2022.For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and fun illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

Stephanie Plum returns to hunt down a master cyber-criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition in this case, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she sets the stage to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world.

Michel Houellebecq lo hace de nuevo. Después de Submission (2015), centrada en la colonización musulmana, y que anticipó las elecciones presidenciales de 2022, Annihilate se proyecta en 2027. Zemmour sigue trabajando en 2027, «solo tienes que pronunciar tu nombre y la conversación comienza a ronronear de maneras marcadas y suavemente predecibles, un poco como con Georges Marchais en su día, cada uno encuentra sus marcadores sociales, su posicionamiento natural, y saca satisfacciones tranquilas de ellos». Un tono muy kunderiano, Annihilate es quizás el libro maestro del autor, este viejo joven con insolencia desilusionada, endiabladamente inteligente y extrañamente cordel, cuyas proyecciones más acerbicas no dejan de golpear. Bajo un cielo gris, mucho sexo y alcohol, y para terminar una cita con la muerte, sumergirse en la nada. El aleccionismo es completo, una negación total, sin ningún recurso a mentiras maravillosas. Como dice una figura, «el pecado original del cristianismo es la esperanza».

Mi nombre es Teresa Ciabatti, tengo cuatro años y soy la hija, la alegría, el orgullo, el amor del Profesor &¬. El profesor es Lorenzo Ciabatti, médico jefe del hospital Orbetello. Pronto se convirtió en uno, después de una pasantía en Estados Unidos, porque es talentoso pero modesto, un benefactor, dicen algunos, un santo. Todos lo quieren, todos le temen, y Teresa es su amada hija: la única a la que el Profesor permite llevar el anillo de zafiros del que nunca se separa. El anillo de la Universidad Americana, dice. El anillo de poder, susurran algunos. Teresa se desliza hacia la adolescencia desde la infancia, y se da cuenta de que la benevolencia que el mundo le reserva es un efecto secundario del servilismo hacia su padre. ¿Quién es Lorenzo Ciabatti? ¿El médico benefactor que ama a los pobres o un hombre calculador y violento? ¿Un poderoso que quizás jugó un papel en algunos de los eventos más oscuros de la historia reciente? Ya adulta, Teresa decide averiguarlo y se encuentra inmersa en el dulce y venenoso líquido amniótico que fue su infancia: preguntas nunca hechas, respuestas evasivas. Todo, en las historias familiares, se readapta, se transforma... Teresa Ciabatti reconstruye la historia de una familia y, con ella, los acontecimientos de toda una época. Una autoficción sincera, feroz, siniestra, nacida del afán de reconciliarse con una infancia feliz que se interrumpió bruscamente.
