Fake medium. True love.Fake spirit medium Gretchen Acorn is happy to help when her wealthiest client hires her to look into the unexplained phenomena preventing the sale of her bridge partner's struggling goat farm. Gretchen may be a complete fraud, but she's a beneficent one. So if 'cleansing' the historic property will help a nice old man get on with his retirement and put some much-needed cash in her pockets at the same time, who's she to say no?Of course, it turns out said bridge partner isn't quite who Gretchen imagined - Charlie Waybill is young, hot as hell, and extremely unconvinced by Gretchen. Except, to her surprise, Gretchen finds herself face-to-face with Everett: the very real, very chatty ghost that's been wreaking havoc. And he wants her to help ensure Charlie avoids the same family curse that's had Everett haunting Gilded Creek Farm since the 1920s.Now, Gretchen has one month to convince Charlie of the dangers that will befall him should he sell up. Unfortunately, hard work and honesty seem to be the best way to win over the stubborn farmer - not exactly Gretchen's strengths. She has to try though, because trust isn't the only thing growing between them. To save the goat farm, its resident phantom, and the man she's beginning to love, Gretchen will need to pull off the greatest con of her life: being fully, genuinely, messily herself.

En noviembre de 2020, Depeche Mode ingresó en el Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll. En su discurso de aceptación, Dave Gahan dijo: ''Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento a Anton Corbijn, que gracias a Dios llegó en el momento oportuno y nos hizo parecer cool''. Además, en otoño de 2020, TASCHEN publicó Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) en edición limitada y firmada por Depeche Mode y Anton Corbijn. Se trata de una de las Ediciones de Coleccionista que más rápidamente se han vendido en la historia de la editorial. Esta edición de bolsillo, más amable con la billetera, es un reconocimiento a la creatividad única y cool de Corbijn, tal como Gahan reconoció de manera conmovedora en su discurso, una historia ilustrada de cómo Corbijn se convirtió en 1986 en el director creativo de facto de Depeche Mode y ayudó a cimentar su reputación como el grupo de culto más importante del mundo.Presenta más de 150 fotografías procedentes de los extensos archivos de Corbijn, algunas de ellas inéditas, incluidos retratos formales e informales en lugares como Madrid, Hamburgo, el desierto de California, Praga y Marrakech, una multitud de instantáneas íntimas y espontáneas e impresionantes imágenes de actuaciones en directo de todas sus giras desde 1988 hasta 2023.Creado en estrecha colaboración con los miembros del grupo, que comparten sus impresiones sobre el trabajo con Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn cuenta cómo la estética original de un hombre ha definido todas las fotografías de la banda, así como la mayoría de sus vídeos, el grafismo de sus álbumes y el diseño de sus escenarios para ayudar a dar forma a su popularidad inextinguible. Al reflexionar sobre el rol que desempeña en Depeche, Corbijn recuerda en la introducción del libro: ''Se me ocurrieron muchas ideas y quería que encajasen con ellos. Quería pensar por ellos. Ser grande para ellos''. Este libro es un homenaje a la profundidad y extensión de esa grandeza, una celebración de una de las colaboraciones más creativas y duraderas de la historia del rock.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be Supercommunicators at work and in life. We all know people who are capable of connecting with almost anyone. They're the ones we love talking to, who we turn to for advice, who hear what we are trying to say and make us feel seen. What do they know about conversation that makes them so special? Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg argues, understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What's this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don't know what kind of conversation you're having, connection is hard.Skilled communicators know the importance of recognizing and then matching each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and hidden beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences, our values, our emotional lives, and how we see ourselves, and others, shape every discussion, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. With his trademark clarity and storytelling, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations&mdashand teaches us the skills we need to navigate them more successfully. Communication is a superpower. By bringing readers into jury deliberations and fraught CIA recruitments, into Netflix's companywide conversations about equity and the writers's room of The Big Bang Theory, we learn why some people are able to make themselves heard and to hear others so clearly. We learn how to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. In the end, we learn a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools, we can connect with anyone.

Enchanted by the undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the globe to study ancient organisms.

Drawn deeper into the agency's work, she learns that the Atlantic trench is only one of several related phenomena from across the world, each piece linking up to suggest a pattern beyond human understanding.

El 18 de noviembre de 1928, el ratón más famoso del mundo hizo su primera aparición. Hoy celebramos los 90 años de Mickey en una de las publicaciones ilustradas más completas sobre el universo Disney. Desde los primeros bocetos de un personaje que, en un principio, se llamó Mortimer, repasamos la carrera de la creación más famosa de Walt Disney y Ub Iwerks, que alcanzó una inmensa popularidad en todo el mundo sólo comparable al éxito anterior de Charlie Chaplin.Con acceso ilimitado a los archivos de Disney, así como a colecciones públicas y privadas, los autores dan vida a la historia de éxito de Mickey. El diseño conceptual, los borradores de las historias, los fondos y los dibujos animados, así como fotografías históricas repasan los orígenes y la evolución de clásicos intemporales como Willy y el barco de vapor, El concierto y El sastrecillo valiente, y siguen a Mickey a medida que amplía su legendaria serie de cortometrajes animados gracias a su aparición en dos largometrajes históricos: Fantasía y Las aventuras de Bongo, Mickey y las judías mágicas.La extensa investigación en los archivos añade nueva información sobre capítulos de la carrera de Mickey poco conocidos, como el origen del Mickey Mouse Club o su utilización como símbolo patriótico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este recorrido descubrimos la obra de los principales artistas que dieron forma a Mickey en el cine y los cómics, incluyendo a figuras de la talla de Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Freddie Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson y César Ferioli.Mickey Mouse ha dejado una huella imborrable tanto en la cultura cotidiana como en el arte más elevado, convirtiéndose en uno de los temas favoritos de artistas pop como Andy Warhol, Keith Haring y Roy Lichtenstein. Como a Walt Disney le gustaba decir: “,Sólo espero que nunca perdamos de vista una cosa: que todo lo empezó un ratón”,. Y no parece que su éxito tenga fecha de caducidad. Hoy, a la tierna edad de 90 años, Mickey sigue siendo tan adorable y popular como siempre. Rindamos homenaje al pequeñín, a su leyenda y a su legado con un monumento al ratón.Copyright © 2020 Disney Enterprises, Inc.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

En 2018, Diégane Latyr Faye, jeune écrivain sénégalais, découvre à Paris un livre mythique, paru en 1938 : Le Labyrinthe de l'inhumain. On a perdu la trace de son auteur, qualifié en son temps de ''Rimbaud nègre'', depuis le scandale que déclencha la parution de son texte. Diégane s'engage alors, fasciné, sur la piste du mystérieux T.C. Elimane, où il affronte les grandes tragédies que sont le colonialisme ou la Shoah. Du Sénégal à la France en passant par l'Argentine, quelle vérité l'attend au centre de ce labyrinthe ? Sans jamais perdre le fil de cette quête qui l'accapare, Diégane, à Paris, fréquente un groupe de jeunes auteurs africains : tous s'observent, discutent, boivent, font beaucoup l'amour, et s'interrogent sur la nécessité de la création à partir de l'exil. Il va surtout s'attacher à deux femmes : la sulfureuse Siga, détentrice de secrets, et la fugace photojournaliste Aïda...D'une perpétuelle inventivité, La plus secrète mémoire des hommes est un roman étourdissant, dominé par l'exigence du choix entre l'écriture et la vie, ou encore par le désir de dépasser la question du face-à-face entre Afrique et Occident. Il est surtout un chant d'amour à la littérature et à son pouvoir intemporel. ''Le temps est assassin ? Oui. Il crève en nous l'illusion que nos blessures sont uniques. Elles ne le sont pas. Aucune blessure n'est unique. Rien d'humain n'est unique. Tout devient affreusement commun dans le temps. Voilà l'impasse , mais c'est dans cette impasse que la littérature a une chance de naître.''

A celebration of the printed book, told through the lives of 18 people who took it in radical new directions.This is an extraordinary story of skill, craft, mess, cunning, triumph, improvisation, and error. Of printers and binders, publishers and artists, paper-makers and library founders.Some we know. We meet jobbing printer (and United States Founding Father) Benjamin Franklin, and watch Thomas Cobden-Sanderson conjure books that flicker between the 20th and 15th centuries. Others we've forgotten. We don't recall Sarah Eaves, wife of John Baskerville, and her crucial contribution to the history of type. Nor Charles Edward Mudie, populariser of the circulating library - and the most influential figure in publishing before Jeff Bezos. Nor William Wildgoose, who meticulously bound Shakespeare's First Folio, then disappeared.The Book-Makers puts people back into the story of the book. It takes us inside the print-shop as the deadline looms and the adrenaline flows - from the Fleet Street of 1492 to present-day New York. It's a tale of contingencies and quirks, of successes and failures, of routes forward and paths not taken. This is a history of book-making that leaves ink on your fingers, and shows why the printed book will continue to flourish.

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
