        The Cambridge story began in 1534 when Henry VIII granted us letters patent, allowing the Press to print 'all manner of books'. Cambridge published its first book in 1584 making it the oldest publishing house in the world. Over the next four centuries the Press's reputation spread throughout Europe, based on excellence in scholarly publishing of academic texts, poetry, school books, prayer books and Bibles. Along the way Cambridge published ground-breaking works such as Newton's Principia Mathematica, Milton's Lycidas, Ernest Rutherford'sRadio-activity, and Noam Chomsky's Language and Mind.

        Siete cuervos y ocho cuentos (Seven crows and eight tales)

        by Jairo Buitrago, Juan Camilo Mayorga

        Seven Crows & Eight Stories gathers together, as its title says, eight stories in which children are protagonists: intelligent children; some mischievous, some rogue, some disobedient; and if there is a common characteristic, it is all naivety. Buitrago has the virtue of understanding very well the world of children and of speaking to them equally. The fears, the joys of children, are well known by the author and proof of this are his texts, where he depicts a very original representation of childhood and reality. These stories about everyday life are very humorous and will make more than one reader finish with a smile. The illustrations of Mayorga, of free stroke and, therefore, very expressive, show us the different scenarios and characters that make up that universe created by Buitrago.

        by Emily Atallah

        El baile de San Pascual

        by Vieco, Camilo

        El Baile de San Pascual is award-winning author Camilo Vieco's first YA Graphic Novel. It is a fantasy epic story set in the Páramos, an endangered enviromnent in Colombia. In times of scarcity, the community that lives around the páramo of Ocetá organizes a party to ask San Pascual for help. But beware of abusing their generosity because the cost can be very high! With this graphic adventure novel, the cartoonist Camilo Vieco inaugurates a world of characters and landscapes inspired by peasant life and the Colombian páramos. Cohete Cómics presents Camilo Vieco's first graphic novel as a complete author. This project was developed at the ÉESI in Anguleme while its author was finishing a master's degree in Sequential Art. El baile de San Pascual is an adventure graphic novel inspired by the life of the peasants and the Colombian páramos. Camilo Vieco starts from the syncretism that occurred in Boyacá during the 16th century between the figure of the saint San Pascual Bailón and the Chibcha god Memcatacaquien to create a story about the relationship between human ambition and the laws of nature. This is the story of an irresponsible man who abuses the generosity of the moor, and of Agustina and Ignacio, two brothers who are forced to resolve the chaos caused by their father. In the process, they learn to take care of themselves and encounter fantastic creatures hidden in the heart of the páramo of Ocetá.

        The Love of Singular Men

        by Victor Heringer

        During a hot Brazilian summer, Camilo meets Cosme, and the two discover a new kind of tenderness. Something changes the course of events, and the darkness of that summer will impact Camilo’s life forever. In the heat of one of the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Camilo grows up amidst football matches, conversations about macumba and whispers about his father’s past. As a teenager, his family members become the legal guardians of an unknown boy who is godfathered by his dad, a doctor in the 1970s. Camilo doesn’t like him at first, but he then starts to get close to him. The foster kid tragically dies during an assault soon after he had moved in with Camilo’s family. As Camilo gets older, his past haunts him daily, dictating the course of his life. The story, apparently simple, is developed with a Machadian like grandeur by Victor Heringer. Through a fluent and malleable prose, combined with a derisive vision of life, the author demonstrates full mastery in the construction of scenes and characters, all the while touching the reader with his delicate and tender perception of reality.

        SOMEONE ELSE’S HEAD

        by Andrés Cota Hiriart

        Cabeza Ajena, by Andrés Cota Hiriart, is imposed as an adventure novel and a scientific story. It is also the story of an unavoidable attraction and of an intimate and, at the same time, revealing journey. Someone Else's Head is the proof that, as George Steiner thought, human beings relate and define themselves in their inevitable desire to know or to learn in any circunstances.      A group of friends experiment, by consuming various substances along a journey, in which curiosity and knowledge strengthen the relationships and friendship between Camilo, Boris, Genaro and Valenzuela. The appearance of a red-haired woman, the gentle paramedic, Nina, is also the sexual and love trigger that will take Camilo towards a deep examination of himself. Nina will join the group and her presence will be decisive in the vision that the friends have of the physical and psychological experience in the space of the altered regions. An unexpected and unusual ending also makes the reading of this novel to be a scientific reflection and a literary enigma.

        Nosotros, Colombia… Comunicación, paz y (pos)conflicto

        by Sergio Roncallo-Dow, Juan David Cárdenas Ruiz, Juan Carlos Gómez Giraldo

        Peace seems to have been elusive in Colombian history. The ups and downs in the negotiation processes, the unfulfilled promises, and the political polarization have made Colombia a nation in a state of continuous crisis and that, in spite of itself - to take up the old Bushnell phrase - has managed to stay afloat and, above all, do not lose hope for a stable and lasting peace.   There have been numerous attempts to build it and they seem to have been unsuccessful, especially because a good part of the collective representation that we have of them has been built from the media apparatus that, in the case of our country, has been at the service of power and that it has resulted in skepticism that, especially since the 1990s, has tended to transform into a strong polarization. With this book, we want not only to think about peace and (post) conflict from communication but to remind (us), once again, that we can still be we.

        Caminos condenados

        by Guerra, Pablo; Díaz, Henry; Aguirre, Camilo; Ojeda, Diana

        Condemned Ways is a graphic novel that portrays the phenomenon of daily dispossession in Montes de Maria.

Through conversations and fictionalised tours, the reader will be able to understand not only the problems faced by its protagonists, but also get an idea of the challenges of the post-conflict in the Colombian countryside. This book was created from field research carried out by geographer Diana Ojeda and the Center for Studies in Political Ecology, and is a first approach to establishing a dialogue between the social sciences and graphic narrative in Colombia.

        The Minimum You Need to Know About Java on OpenVMS

        by Roland Hughes

        Up until this point, most Java programming books attempt to make the reader believe that Java is the way-of-the-future and that all other languages are soon to become obsolete. Not so with this book. The author presents Java with all of its warts while continually comparing it to C++ and sometimes C. He admits not being a fan of Java and assumes you are only interested in learning it because your superiors are forcing a Java project upon your OpenVMS system (this is probably more true than not).
