Las inolvidables fotografías de Helmut Newton, sofisticadas y provocativas a la vez, constituyen un legado artístico rico que no ha perdido un ápice de relevancia. Este libro presenta una muestra compacta pero amplia de su trabajo, e incluye una reveladora introducción y una pormenorizada cronología biográfica.Las imágenes de Newton se mueven en la ambigüedad, e incluyen alusiones y observaciones sociales que atraen y desafían a la vez a sus espectadores. Esta selección consigue reflejar el punto de vista único de Newton y las complejas corrientes subyacentes que distinguen su trabajo editorial en los campos de la moda y del retrato.Podrá apreciar la evolución de Newton hasta convertirse en un personaje inconformista, astuto y malicioso, voyeur y satírico a la vez, cuyo objetivo capturó aspectos polémicos pero fundamentales de la alta costura y la alta sociedad en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Trabajaba como ''pistolero a sueldo'' pero a la vez imponía sus propias perspectivas y obsesiones, y definía su idea de una mujer poderosa y segura de sí misma. Esta figura se convirtió en su tema más insistente, desarrollado en escenarios cargados de erotismo, habitualmente en el seductor ambiente de lujosos apartamentos o grandes hoteles, sobre todo en París, Montecarlo y Los Ángeles.Desde mediados de la década de 1960, las dinámicas imágenes de Newton consolidaron su reputación en el mundo de la moda por medio de trabajos publicados en revistas de primer orden, como Vogue Paris, Elle, Marie Claire, Nova, Queen y la edición británica de Vogue. A partir de mediados de los años setenta su fama se extendió gracias a sus primeros libros y exposiciones. Sus imágenes inmortalizan a grandes figuras de la alta sociedad, el cine y la moda, como la princesa Carolina de Mónaco, Charlotte Rampling, Paloma Picasso y Karl Lagerfeld.Las fotografías glamurosas, innovadoras y transgresoras de Helmut Newton tienen un sello propio y una autoridad indiscutible que las hace mantener su dominio en nuestra imaginación.

Born without social instincts many people take for granted, brought up in a troubled environment and possessed with an extraordinary musical talent, Mike Oldfield was thrust into the spotlight at the tender age of nineteen. His first album Tubular Bells went on to sell fifteen million copies worldwide and catapulted him into a stardom he was ill-equipped to cope with.From growing up with an alcoholic mother, to his feelings of alienation and struggles with depression, this book takes Mike from his early years, through his staggering fame, his broken marriages, years as a recluse, his rebirth experience at a controversial Exegesis seminar and beyond. Mike Oldfield has been on a journey few of us could ever imagine, and offers a message of hope to anybody who feels they live on the edge of society.

Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients—or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about indistinguishable job applicants—or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to answer the phone. Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same interviewer, or the same customer service agent makes different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of variability in judgments that should be identical. In Noise , Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein show the detrimental effects of noise in many fields, including medicine, law, economic forecasting, forensic science, bail, child protection, strategy, performance reviews, and personnel selection. Wherever there is judgment, there is noise. Yet, most of the time, individuals and organizations alike are unaware of it. They neglect noise. With a few simple remedies, people can reduce both noise and bias, and so make far better decisions. Packed with original ideas, and offering the same kinds of research-based insights that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise in judgment—and what we can do about it.

The best book of curious stories of Barcelona.In a corner of Paradís Street, there’s a millstone that commemorates the summit of Mount Tàber, the highest point in the Roman city, where Emperor Augustus’ men began constructing the city they named Iulia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino.Since then, this city has left us with many anecdotes and curiosities. By reading them, the reader can embark on an exciting journey through our history and, this way, gain a better understanding of the reality that surrounds them.The first Earl of Barcelona: a lord from Carcassonne.Ramón Berenguer III and the controversy surrounding his horse’s tail.The Eiffel Tower could have been erected in Barcelona.La Mercè, who made 1000 locusts disappear.The Güell family saga, between business and art.«After the success of the edition in Spanish and Catalan, now the English edition is finally published.»The history of Barcelona is visible to the pedestrian strolling through its streets and squares, observing its buildings, and listening with surprise and admiration to the stories of bygone eras. The city’s streets conceal latent histories waiting to be uncovered by the walker at the pace of their own steps. Because every corner, every passage, every fountain hides passionate pages, tales of love or war, tragedies, revolts, cries, dreams, and hopes. Those who know the past that envelops them can better understand the future that awaits them. This book shows us, in the form of brushstrokes and in a playful manner, what the origins of the city of Barcelona were and what remains of that Roman Barcino.It is evident that the urban landscape has changed significantly throughout this time, but the traces of that past can still be seen, not only while strolling through Ciutat Vella but also in the most unexpected corner of the city. All it takes is to sit on a stone bench and gaze up at one of the historic buildings or walk on one of the few remaining cobblestone streets. They are silent testimonies of a past that invites us to listen to it.

With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop listeners in their tracks...For cynical 23-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train.Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all.Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . .Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general-also known as her tough-as-talons mother-has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.But when you're smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away . . . because dragons don't bond to ''fragile'' humans. They incinerate them.With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.
