The heart of Madrid becomes a stage that beats at every step of the protagonists of this story. A novel that perfectly stages the society of the last years of the Franco regime and the conquest for freedom of a generation of brave women who fought to make themselves heard. Matesa, the most convulsive case of corruption under Franco, shakes the political and social landscape in increasingly difficult times. Unaware of this reality, Adela, a young woman from high society, only has eyes for Carlos, a young musician she has known since childhood and who only cares about two things: living without ties and her best friend Constanza. When we drank coffee it is a novel that reflects the social idealism and cultural movement that begins to boil in the streets of Madrid in the hope of changing things. A song to freedom, to how to survive amidst so much uncertainty, but above all, to the efforts of those women and men who inspire us today to fight for our identity, not to give up and to be free to the last consequences. El corazón de Madrid se convierte en un escenario que late a cada paso de los protagonistas de esta historia. Una novela que escenifica a la perfección la sociedad de los últimos años del régimen de Franco y la conquista por la libertad de una generación de mujeres valientes que lucharon por hacerse oír. Matesa, el caso de corrupción más convulso del franquismo, sacude el panorama político y social en unos tiempos cada vez más difíciles. Ajena a esta realidad, Adela, una joven de alta sociedad, solo tiene ojos para Carlos, un joven músico que conoce desde la infancia y al que solo le importan dos cosas: vivir sin ataduras y su mejor amiga Constanza. Cuando tomábamos café es una novela que refleja el idealismo social y movimiento cultural que empieza a bullir en las calles de Madrid con la esperanza de cambiar las cosas. Un canto a la libertad, a cómo sobrevivir entre tanta incertidumbre, pero, sobre todo, al empeño de esas mujeres y hombres que nos inspiran hoy en día a luchar por nuestra identidad, a no rendirnos y a ser libres hasta las últimas consecuencias.
What do two laughing chimps, an embarrassed puppy, an envious cat and two monkeys that hug each other with gratitude, have in common? They all show us emotions, those that are present throughout our lives, but that we don’t always know how to recognize. This book seeks to introduce children to this mysterious world, with photographs of animals that usually arouse their interest, accompanied by short texts that can help them recognize the emotions they feel and understand in what kind of situations this happens. Recognizing their own emotions will help them to know themselves better and also those around them. At the end of the book, the emotions addressed in it are briefly explained, so that adults can better accompany children in the discovery of their emotions, in “normal” times, but especially in times of crisis.
This indescribable book, Ways of Doing Nothing - the first in prose after eleven in poetry and intense work as a specialised journalist - is nothing more than the reflection of her pleasant readings, her animated conversations with friends and daily observation of the dog spirit: happy and indolent but tenacious in her loves. The countryside, where the author lives and has lived for long periods, is another of her favourite prisons, because as she says: "the countryside does not know who you are". Misanthropy? Black humour? Perhaps, because her strange fantasy places her among the few writers who have given this serious country a smoke.

This is the story of advancing deserts that covered cities. The story of a world on the verge of destruction. It is about the people who inhabited that world, their alienation and the violent war in which they lost themselves. This is the story of a young woman, who healed wounds, and her best friend, who ran a brothel, and how they faced all that was thrown at them. It is also the story of a tiger and a little girl. But, when you get to know all of them, you will have to answer the call to look into the future and plunge into the abyss.
Welcome to a luminous journey, at times hilarious, that crosses the misery and dissects the hypocrisy of an abandoned society that struggles to emerge from the abyss. In a Buenos Aires besieged by violence and poverty in the worst economic and ethical crisis in contemporary Argentina, the lives of a select few are shipwrecked in a country that is crumbling. Prostitutes, unemployed workers and cartoneros merge in a ravaged city, pierced by anarchic holes of poverty, evictions and unemployment. Thanks to an unknown fate, the protagonist, disenchanted and responsible for his family, advances between the absurdity of the crisis, in a forward flight, without rest or contemplation, to try to recover a destiny torn from the roots. What could be the destination of such a particular transit?

“Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis. Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce. A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom, nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.
Todos debemos aprender a negociar, no hay escapatoria. Nuestra vida es una negociación permanente. En toda comunicación, desde una conversación entre amigos, pasando por la compra de un auto o la venta de una empresa, hasta la conducción de un Estado, se producen conflictos y se toman decisiones que es necesario negociar. Pero las personas muchas veces administran el conflicto y la toma de decisiones que este conlleva en forma deficiente y, adicionalmente, el inadecuado manejo de la comunicación termina en resultados con pérdida de valor, tiempo, esfuerzo y, lo que es peor, daño a las relaciones. A diferencia de otros títulos, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? aporta una metodología novedosa y práctica para abordar una negociación, basada en la teoría de los sistemas sociales y la comunicación, la que va más allá del conocido ganar-ganar. En esta segunda edición actualizada se han introducido complementos y perfeccionamientos a la metodología que se propone. En concreto, especial importancia tiene el capítulo de preparación estratégica de las negociaciones, clave en una cultura dada a la improvisación como la latinoamericana. También se ha abordado en extenso la confianza, tan golpeada hoy en muchos países, que es la base de una negociación exitosa. Con ejemplos prácticos y un estilo amistoso y directo, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? nos enseña todo sobre el desafiante proceso de una negociación, desde su planificación, seguido por las opciones de valor, la legitimidad, el cómo y dónde trazar la línea ética, hasta la manera de generar poder, cerrar una negociación y formalizar un acuerdo que refleje transacciones exitosas. "Los conflictos son mucho más frecuentes de lo que se cree y, afortunadamente, menos dañinos de lo que se teme. Sus causas, efectos, grados de intensidad y violencia son diversos, por lo cual existen variadas estrategias y prácticas para enfrentarlos. Los conflictos son inherentes a todo sistema social y pueden generar mayor valor en la mesa de negociación si son gestionados en forma adecuada. Entender los conflictos y su dinámica es fundamental para alcanzar negociaciones exitosas". Pag 15.
