        Kurt Tank II. La verdadera historia del constructor del Pulqui II. Tomo II

        by Mauricio Bossa

        La Segunda Guerra Mundial ha terminado y Kurt Tank se encuentra a merced de los británicos. Solo podrá continuar en la industria aeronáutica si trabaja para ellos. Además, está bajo sospecha y sus movimientos han sido restringidos. El futuro parece ominoso. Pero sus aviones lo han convertido en una celebridad y son muchos los poderosos que necesitan de sus servicios. Algunos muestran sus cartas y lo obligan a tomar decisiones peligrosas en las narices de los Aliados. Si acierta, volverá al vuelo y al diseño de aeronaves de avanzada; de lo contrario, las consecuencias podrían ser irreparables.Este segundo tomo de Kurt Tank, la verdadera historia del constructor del Pulqui II se sumerge de lleno en el torbellino de acontecimientos que rodean al protagonista desde 1945 y que lo llevarán tan lejos como a la Argentina o la India, luego de que Joseph Stalin intentara reclutarlo para servir en la Unión Soviética. Espionaje, tecnología y aventuras se entrelazan en un vívido relato que recurre a fuentes hasta hoy desconocidas y que develan una personalidad tan fascinante como polémica, convertida en referencia de la aviación mundial por derecho propio.

      • Un reino igual a ti

        by Mauricio Carrera

        “Let my exploits and failures be evidence of my efforts as a brave soldier, as an ardent lover. I have been fortunate, and before the shadow prevails, I decided to tell this story, which, like all others, is made of light and mud, on a fugitive course and at rest. You are always captive of knowing you are alive and of dying I don’t know when,” says the protagonist of this novel, Miguel Díaz de Aux. Miguelico, they call him, and very young he participates in the conquest of Mexico, in the company of his father, of the same name, and his brother, Fernando.Spanish and Indian at the same time, son of an Aragonese and a Taino mother, Miguelico made his destiny in the battles of war, life and love. He rides manatees in his native Haiti, participates as a soldier in the capture of Tenochtitlan, falls in love with Isabel Moctezuma, plants guava trees, travels with Cortés to the Hibueras and is in charge of burying Cuahtémoc in a place known only to him. Un reino igual a ti is a novel of adventure and love. Mauricio Carrera confirms, as he did in Fortuna, la mujer de la Conquista, that there are still stories to be told in that bloody and marvelous event that was the Conquest of Mexico. He does it with his usual style, where the real and the fantastic are united, where literature peeks into the great historical facts, where the characters persist in our memory and where there are many phrases to hold on to in order to better face the arduous and astonishing of existence. A novel that will undoubtedly find a place in your bookshelf, in your soul, in your heart.   Que mis hazañas y fracasos evidencien mis afanes de valiente soldado, de ardoroso enamorado. He sido afortunado, y antes que la sombra se imponga, decidí contar esta historia, que como todas, está hecha de luz y fango, en curso fugitivo y en sosiego. Se es cautivo siempre de saberse vivo y de morir no sé cuándo”, afirma el protagonista de esta novela, Miguel Díaz de Aux. Miguelico, lo llaman, y participa muy joven de la Conquista de México, en compañía de su padre, de igual nombre, y de su hermano, Fernando.Español e indio al mismo tiempo, hijo de aragonés y de madre taína, Miguelico se hace un destino en las batallas de la guerra, de la vida, del amor. Monta manatíes en su natal Haití, participa como soldado en la toma de Tenochtitlan, enamora a Isabel Moctezuma, planta árboles de guayaba, viaja con Cortés a las Hibueras y es el encargado de enterrar, en un sitio sólo por conocido él, a Cuahtémoc.Un reino igual a ti es una novela de aventuras y de amores. Mauricio Carrera refrenda, al igual que lo hizo en Fortuna, la mujer de la Conquista, que aún hay historias por contar en ese hecho cruento y maravilloso que fue la Conquista de México. Lo hace con su acostumbrado estilo, donde lo real y lo fantástico se unen, donde la literatura se asoma en los grandes hechos históricos, donde los personajes persisten en nuestra memoria y donde hay muchas frases dónde asirse para afrontar mejor lo arduo y asombroso de la existencia.Una novela que, sin duda, se hará de un lugar en su librero, en su alma, en su corazón. Mónica Lavín: “Mauricio Carrera puede hacer lo que se le pega la gana en su arte narrativo”.Agustín Monsreal: “Es un múltiple forjador de tramas y anécdotas, pero fundamentalmente un exacto y versátil hacedor de personajes”.Eduardo Antonio Parra: “Su voz resulta fundamental para la literatura mexicana actual”.

        Ética aplicada

        Desde la medicina hasta el humor

        by Mauricio Correa Casanova y Adela Cortina

        Resulta indesmentible que hoy la realidad social exige a la filosofía moral comprometerse con la vida cotidiana. La ética aplicada configura una forma nueva de saber, de reflexionar sobre los problemas morales y de proponer recomendaciones para la acción. Empresas, servicios públicos, colegios profesionales o entidades sin fines de lucro, entre muchos otros, han incorporado los nuevos modos éticos de saber y hacer, y universidades de todo el mundo abordan este tema a través de cátedras, programas y centros de investigación. Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos sobre distintos ámbitos de la ética aplicada, como la ecología, la biomedicina, la empresa o la economía, que el lector común seguramente ya reconoce. Otros, en cambio, se presentan aquí con toda su novedad para situarnos ante desafíos inéditos en campos como la neuroética, el deporte, la ciudad y el humor. El principal objetivo es ofrecer a jóvenes y adultos, alumnos o profesores, funcionarios públicos o del mundo privado, perspectivas éticas en los más diversos ámbitos de la sociedad que contribuyan a encarnar la moralidad en la vida diaria, que es sin duda el real sentido de la ética aplicada. "La tarea de la razón práctica no consiste solo en enunciar lo que se debe hacer, sino también en tomar carne en las instituciones, transformándolas desde dentro. De ahí que la ética aplicada sea un elemento ineludible de cualquier diseño institucional que desee funcionar con bien, incluso lo es de cualquier proyecto de investigación que quiera recibir el visto bueno".

        Craving’s Creek

        by Bossa, Mel

        For the man he loves, he will fight—body, mind, and soul.   Fourteen years ago, on a sun-drenched summer day on the banks of Craving’s Creek, Ryde swore to his best friend, Alistair, he’d never be alone in the world. Though Alistair was destined for the priesthood, there was something beyond holy about the first kiss they shared.   But a fun camping trip went horribly wrong when Alistair was involved in a horrific incident.   Now, at age thirty-one, Ryde’s life is a mess of alcohol and the painful imprint of his last look into Alistair’s desperate eyes. Since the evil they encountered on that shore, his first love has been lost to him—until he learns a friend’s wedding is to be officiated by a priest named Father Alistair Genet.   Amid the rush of emotions, one thought crystallizes: Ryde’s love for Alistair not only has never died, it’s stronger than ever. Stronger than God. But it may be no match for the church…and the repressed memories that are slowly tearing Alistair’s mind apart.   Warning: Contains a drunken confessional, a self-destructive clergyman, and a fight to the spiritual death for love.

        Soul Child On your knees! It is Christmas.

        by P. Mauricio Uribe Duque, O.C.D.

        Este libro es el testimonio de la fe del autor, que confiesa que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Aquí está él, con toda la erudición del teólogo, invitándonos para que, de su mano, miremos al cielo y veamos las señales y oigamos el canto de los ángeles y juntos vayamos presurosos a “adorar al Niño, adorar al Niño, que ha nacido ya… ”. Este es un libro único, que conjuga la estética de la imagen y de la edición, con la profundidad del mensaje; que teje, en un lenguaje bello pero compresible para todos, el misterio central del cristianismo: Dios hecho hombre. Dios con nosotros. Es un libro que nos lleva al encuentro con Dios encarnado en el más profundo centro del alma.

        Prehistoric Mammals

        by Alan Turner

This book, the follow-up to our 192pp National Geographic Society Dinosaurs, tells the story of prehistoric mammals. The artist Mauricio Antón, a leading scientific illustrator, is producing more than twenty stunning double-page scenes to illustrate animals in their habitats.

      • Engranaje I: La venganza es nuestra

        by Esteban Morales / Daniel Rojas Pachas

        La venganza es nuestra expone una variedad de representaciones de la realidad a través del arte gráfico. El compilado presenta humor y sátira nacional gracias al trabajo de Christiano. Su obra encarna un espíritu testimonial y coloquial de la vida en Chile a fines del siglo XX.

Necrotax y Mauricio Menares hacen actualizaciones de leyendas nacionales del sur de Chile, la Pincoya, el Trauco, el Chonchón. Esteban Morales plantea una corta historia sobre el animalismo. Propuestas que se acercan a la literatura por los materiales que trabajan, leyendas y literatura latinoamericana. La obra de Claudio Rocco es una muestra del cómic strip o historieta de humor, cercana al cartoon. El arte de Iván Llanos demuestra su interpretación de una cultura del videojuego y el manga, mientras que Bastián Brauning, portadista e ilustrador expone un arte cercano al tatuaje y al graffiti con una mirada contestaria y punk.Escapando del límite de los centralismos y la mirada reduccionista de los grandes centros. Este libro constituye un punto de fuga y una invitación al lector. Proyecto Financiado por el Fondo del libro y la lectura 2021 del Ministerio de las culturas, las artes y el patrimonio de Chile.

        Lugares, recorridos y sentidos de la memoria histórica: Acercamientos metodológicos

        by Laura Fonseca Durán, Diana Vernot, Tatiana Rojas Roa, Laura Giraldo Martínez, Edwin Corena Puentes, David J. Luquetta Cediel

        This book is an initiative of the Regional Groups of Historical Memory (GRMH), which, together with the National Center for Historical Memory since 2013, generated proposals for the construction of historical memory in Colombia. The objective of the consolidation of the GRMH has been to recognize local research processes carried out by university professors to build bridges between the country's institutions and communities victimized in the framework of the internal armed conflict in Colombia.   Although the participatory social research bets are nourished by multiple edges, disciplines, and schools of thought, there are methodological peculiarities in the investigations that are formulated in the key of historical memory that, on this occasion, are transversal and are deepened in each chapter.

        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.
