El descontento

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.

Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency.

El año de gracia / The Grace Year (Spanish Edition)

Kim Liggett · 2021

Entre El cuento de la criada y El señor de las moscas, esta narración distópica explora hábilmente la psique de las adolescentes obligadas a vivir en una teocracia represiva. En el condado de Garner, donde está prohibido hablar del "año de gracia", las niñas crecen convencidas de que al alcanzar la adolescencia su piel exhala una potente esencia de juventud que, gracias a sus poderes afrodisíacos, es capaz de seducir a los hombres y matar de celos a las mujeres. A fin de purificar esa magia sin dañar a nadie y poder regresar a casa listas para el matrimonio, las adolescentes son expulsadas del lugar y confinadas en plena naturaleza durante un año. Sin embargo, no todas vuelven... Aunque en el condado de Garner están prohibidos los sueños y cualquier cosa que pueda ofrecer privacidad y esperanza a las chicas, Tierney James, una joven de dieciséis años que está a punto de tener que cumplir su año de gracia y anhela una sociedad libre de disputas entre amigos y entre mujeres, descubrirá que el mayor peligro que deben enfrentar las adolescentes en su situación no radica en la naturaleza salvaje ni en los elementos, ni siquiera en los cazadores furtivos que se dedican a secuestrarlas para hacer una pequeña fortuna en el mercado negro, sino en la rivalidad y el enfrentamiento entre ellas. Con prosa afilada y descarnado realismo, El año de gracia examina las complejas, y a menudo tortuosas, relaciones entre jóvenes y las difíciles decisiones que deben tomar para convertirse en mujeres. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The instant New York Times bestseller, a speculative YA thriller in the vein of The Hunger Games and The Power, now in trade paperback. No one speaks of the grace year. It’s forbidden. In Garner County, girls are banished for their sixteenth year to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive. Tierney James dreams of a better life―but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that there’s more to fear about the grace year than the brutal elements and the poachers in the woods. Their greatest threat may very well be each other. With sharp prose and gritty realism, Kim Liggett's The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.

La isla de las mujeres del mar

Lisa See · 2021

Product Description Una inmersión fascinante en una cultura en vías de desaparición.Tras seducir a lectores y críticos de todo el mundo con El abanico de seda y Dos chicas de Shanghai, Lisa See vuelve a cautivarnos con La isla de las mujeres del mar, una bella e introspectiva novela sobre los lazos de amistad de dos jóvenes hanenyeo -mujeres buceadoras de la isla surcoreana de Jeju, cuya forma de vida ha sido reconocida por la Unesco como patrimonio de la humanidad- y las poderosas fuerzas, tanto naturales como históricas, que las rodean.Kim Young-sook y Han Mi-ja empiezan su preparación como haenyeo. A pesar de sus diferentes entornos familiares, pronto se hacen íntimas, aprenden la técnica del buceo y se enfrentan juntas a las exigencias físicas y los fracasos emocionales de su trabajo. Durante medio siglo, las dos jóvenes forjarán una sólida relación al tiempo que su vida se verá envuelta en acontecimientos tan trágicos y extraordinarios como la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Guerra de Corea y sus secuelas, y tan inevitables como la irrupción de los teléfonos móviles y la llegada de nuevas políticas e ideas a la isla. Sin embargo, tras sobrevivir a cientos de inmersiones y desarrollar el más estrecho de los vínculos, algo que escapa a su control acabará rompiendo su amistad.Narrada por la entrañable voz de Young-sook, La isla de las mujeres del mar es no sólo una magnífica saga familiar con extraordinarias ramificaciones, sino también un vívido retrato del mundo singular y poco conocido de la isla de Jeju y de las atrocidades sufridas por sus moradores bajo la ocupación japonesa.La crítica ha dicho...«Una oda a un singular grupo de mujeres, que no esconde la hondura de la crueldad y la resistencia humanas.»Publisher's Weekly«Una exhaustiva investigación que nos habla no sólo de las tradiciones haenyeo, sino también de los asesinatos masivos en la isla de Jeju a principios de 1948, ocultados durante décadas por el gobierno surcoreano. [...] Imprescindible.»Kirkus Reviews«Una asombrosa historia sobre dos mujeres cuyas decisiones acaban uniéndolas inextricablemente.»Jodi Picoult«Brillante, [...] reflexiva y empática. [...] Necesaria.»The New York Times Book Review«Una novela que celebra la fuerza de las mujeres y la fortaleza de su amistad.»O, The Oprah Magazine About the Author Lisa See (París, 1955) se crió en el seno de una familia china asentada en Estados Unidos. Biznieta del patriarca del Barrio Chino de Los Ángeles, narró en On Gold Mountain la epopeya americana de su bisabuelo Fong See. Con El abanico de seda (Salamandra, 2005), que se convirtió en un best-seller internacional, alcanzó una repercusión que se vio confirmada con sus siguientes novelas: El pabellón de las peonías (Salamandra, 2008), Dos chicas en Shanghai (Salamandra, 2010) y, ahora, La isla de las mujeres del mar. Vive en Los Ángeles con su marido y sus dos hijos.

This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third.

El descontento

Beatriz Serrano · 2023

UNA NOVELA PARA LEER A ESCONDIDAS EN LA OFICINA La presentadora del pódcast Arsénico Caviar y ganadora del Ondas, debuta con una afilada novela sobre una mujer harta del trabajo. «Una bomba de relojería: una novela sobre el trabajo ―y todo lo demás― que se lee de una sentada, pero se queda contigo mucho tiempo. Inteligente, divertidísima, sí, incluso ―o sobre todo― cuando te reconoces en ella.» ELENA MEDEL «Bisturí, tripas y corazón. Beatriz, como quien no quiere la cosa, hace fácil lo difícil: El descontento habla del vacío que habita en cada uno de nosotros, del miedo a vivir, de la esperanza que (sí) late tras la máscara.» JESÚS TERRÉS «La novela de Serrano consigue leerse de manera generacional. Es difícil no sentir empatía con un personaje que transita entre la soledad y la decepción y que no se atreve a escapar de la escena tétrica en la que ha convertido su existencia. Tan real que duele.» ZENDA «Hacía tiempo que no leía una primera novela tan divertida, ácida, corrosiva y en el fondo tan amarga como El descontento, de Beatriz Serrano.» EL CULTURAL «El humor ahorma a la protagonista de la novela, que se ríe de sí misma y de la holgazanería intelectual de cualquiera que cacaree frente a ella una frase hecha. Finta, con carcajadas, los tentáculos del pesimismo.» EL PAÍS El descontento es la historia de Marisa, una mujer en la treintena que vive anestesiada mediante orfidales y vídeos de Youtube para soportar las rutinas y pesares de su día a día en una agencia de publicidad. Tan solo acude presencialmente a la oficina para ahorrar dinero en aire acondicionado durante el sofocante agosto madrileño. Marisa odia el trabajo. Sin embargo, no puede dejarlo: le gustan demasiado las cosas bonitas. La semana previa a un team building organizado por su empresa, la ansiedad de Marisa se dispara; compartir un fin de semana entero con sus compañeros le resulta insoportable y el recuerdo enterrado de una tragedia ocurrida tiempo atrás vuelve para atormentarla. A medida que pasan los días, su máscara social, tan cuidada y pulida a lo largo de los años, se irá resquebrajando hasta hacerlo volar todo por los aires. Esta novela es un dardo afilado que atraviesa al lector con cada palabra. Una radiografía magistral sobre las crisis vividas por cualquier persona que trabaja; sobre la soledad, la necesidad de vínculos y conexiones para encontrar la chispa y no tirarse delante de un autobús un lunes por la mañana.

Furor botánico

Laura Agustí · 2025

Tras el éxito de Historia de un gato, vuelve Laura Agustí con un libro de delicada belleza: un homenaje a la naturaleza y al lenguaje de las plantas. «Un relato preciosista, entre la autobiografía, el cuaderno de explorador y el ensayo gráfico. [...] Virtuosismo en tinta». Marta Caballero, El Mundo Cansada de la estresante vida de la ciudad, Laura decide trasladarse con su pareja a una casa en Nevà, un pequeño pueblo de los Pirineos. La idea es pasar tres meses de prueba antes de atreverse a dar el gran salto y, tal vez, mudarse de forma definitiva. Pronto se reencontrará con todo un ecosistema muy familiar y que casi había olvidado: el de su infancia en la fría tierra de Teruel rodeada del lenguaje de las flores, los árboles y las plantas, así como el de toda una estirpe de mujeres comprometidas con el amor y el conocimiento de la naturaleza que le inocularon el «furor botánico». Su bisabuela Pilar, que curaba los desánimos con azafrán y la planta de San Juan; su abuela Carmen, con la que Laura recogía la aceituna; su madre, que sigue mandándole alcoholes para friegas, y su hermana Marina, que calma las rabietas de su hija con aceites esenciales. Entre recuerdos entretejidos con espléndidas ilustraciones, paseos por los senderos de los bosques para recoger setas, proyectos para su nueva casa y consejos para ajardinar nuestras vidas, Laura nos descubre la exuberante bondad del universo de las plantas. La crítica ha dicho: «Un estilo delicado, limpio y lleno de intención. [...] Furor botánico es arte, es memoria, es naturaleza convertida en emoción. Un libro para quienes aman las plantas, los trazos que cuentan historias y los libros bonitos». Elisabeth Ginger, Nueva Tribuna «Recuerdos entretejidos con espléndidas ilustraciones, paseos por los senderos de los bosques para recoger setas, proyectos para su nueva casa y consejos para ajardinar nuestras vidas. Todo para sumergirnos en la exuberante bondad del universo de las plantas». Jorge Coscarón, Esquire «Un homenaje ilustrado a la naturaleza y al lenguaje de las plantas. [...] Un delicioso libro repleto de preciosos dibujos que se convierte en un relato visual que bascula entre el cuaderno de exploración y la autobiografía». Beatriz Martínez, Infobae «Magníficamente ilustrado y escrito con luminosa vitalidad. [...] Un libro delicioso». César Suárez, Telva «La autora recupera su propio universo familiar. Un mundo olvidado, el de sus orígenes turolenses, en el que cobra una especial relevancia el lenguaje de las flores, los árboles y las plantas, con el que mantiene un vínculo afectivo intrínsecamente ligado a las enseñanzas que le han transmitido las mujeres de su familia». Eva Blanco Medina, Vogue «Una obra radical y emocionante que celebra la conexión profunda entre el ser humano y la naturaleza. [...] Con este libro, Agustí no solo homenajea la naturaleza, sino que también nos ofrece una valiosa oportunidad para reconectar con lo esencial». Cristina Serrano Gonzalez, WhitePaperBy «Tiene algo de antiguo, en la sapiencia heredada de sus ancestros, en la vuelta al origen, geográfico pero sobre todo intangible; y posee asimismo la frescura de una juventud para quien ese viaje, más que un retorno, es un comienzo, una búsqueda amateur, y por eso mismo una búsqueda apasionada, trascendente, veraz. Que este libro inspire muchos (y fructíferos) inicios». Cristina Ros, The Objective

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency.

***THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER*** 'Tipped to be this summer's biggest read' SUNDAY TIMES 'A richly drawn page-turner' OBSERVER 'Quite possibly our favourite TJR novel yet' COSMOPOLITAN 'I absolutely adored this' BRYONY GORDON 'A breathtaking, quietly staggering tale of female empowerment, desire, and our place in the universe' HEAT 'Unputdownable' GRAZIA READERS ARE SAYING... 'So emotional by the end that I could hardly speak' - Reader Review, 5***** 'Melted my heart by the end' - Reader Review, 5***** 'Taylor Jenkins Reid is the master of a really great love story' - Reader Review, 5***** 'Taylor Jenkins Reid's best book yet' - Reader Review, 5***** An epic novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. In the summer of 1980, astrophysics professor Joan Goodwin begins training to be an astronaut at Houston's Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates- Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond; mission specialists John Griffin and Lydia Danes; warmhearted Donna Fitzgerald; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer. As the new astronauts prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined and begins to question everything she believes about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best- transporting readers to iconic times and places, creating complex protagonists, and telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love - this time among the stars. 'Is there a popular fiction writer alive who conveys falling in love better than Taylor Jenkins Reid?' DAILY MAIL 'Packs a hefty emotional punch' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Thrilling ... heartbreaking ... uplifting. Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel Atmosphere is the fast-paced, emotionally-charged story of one ambitious young woman, finding both her voice and her passion ... I loved it' KRISTIN HANNAH, author of The Women 'NASA? Space missions? The 80s? This is a collection of all the things I love. Great story, excellent research and accuracy, and a thrilling conclusion.' ANDY WEIR, author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian
