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.

Pachinko
Min Jin Lee • 2017
A New York Times Top Ten Book of the Year and National Book Award finalist, Pachinko is an "extraordinary epic" of four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family as they fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan (San Francisco Chronicle).<br/><br/>NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2017 * A USA TODAY TOP TEN OF 2017 * JULY PICK FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR-NEW YORK TIMES BOOK CLUB NOW READ THIS * FINALIST FOR THE 2018DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE* WINNER OF THE MEDICI BOOK CLUB PRIZE<br/><br/>Roxane Gay's Favorite Book of 2017, Washington Post<br/><br/>NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * #1 BOSTON GLOBE BESTSELLER * USA TODAY BESTSELLER * WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER * WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER<br/><br/>"There could only be a few winners, and a lot of losers. And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones."<br/><br/>In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.<br/><br/>Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters--strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.<br/><br/>*Includes reading group guide*

Neil Josten es un joven que lleva toda la vida huyendo de su propio padre, el despiadado jefe de una organización criminal. Está acostumbrado a vivir con miedo y a fingir ser cualquiera salvo él mismo. Cuando asesinan a su madre, Neil toma una decisión a la desesperada: incorporarse al equipo de exy conocido como los Zorros. El exy es un deporte rápido y violento, una mezcla de lacrosse, rugby y hockey, lo único que hace que Neil se sienta real. Sin embargo, Neil no es el único que tiene secretos en el equipo. Uno de los Zorros es un viejo amigo de su infancia y Neil no encuentra el valor para alejarse de él por segunda vez. ¿Habrá encontrado por fin algo por lo que merece la pena luchar? La madriguera del zorro es el primer libro de la exitosa trilogía All For The Game. Retrata un mundo de tensión con personajes rotos y moralmente grises que combaten a sus depredadores y encuentran apoyo en sus iguales.

BIBLIOTECA DE LA MEDIA NOCHE
Matt Haig • 2021
Entre la vida y la muerte hay una biblioteca. Y los estantes de esa biblioteca son infinitos. Cada libro da la oportunidad de probar otra vida que podrías haber vivido y de comprobar cómo habrían cambiado las cosas si hubieras tomado otras decisiones... ¿Habrías hecho algo de manera diferente si hubieras tenido la oportunidad? Nora Seed aparece, sin saber cómo, en la Biblioteca de la Medianoche, donde se le ofrece una nueva oportunidad para hacer las cosas bien. Hasta ese momento, su vida ha estado marcada por la infelicidad y el arrepentimiento. Nora siente que ha defraudado a todos, y también a ella misma. Pero esto está a punto de cambiar. Los libros de la Biblioteca de la Medianoche permitirán a Nora vivir como si hubiera hecho las cosas de otra manera. Con la ayuda de una vieja amiga, tendrá la opción de esquivar todo aquello que se arrepiente de haber hecho (o no haber hecho), en pos de la vida perfecta. Pero las cosas no siempre serán como imaginó que serían, y pronto sus decisiones enfrentarán a la Biblioteca y a ella misma en un peligro extremo. Nora deberá responder una última pregunta antes de que el tiempo se agote: ¿cuál es la mejor manera de vivir?

Es el año 2016 y con el segundo matrimonio de su padre a la vuelta de la esquina, Eunyu se siente inquieta. Su padre le sugiere que se escriba una carta a sí misma que recibirá un año después. Pero esta carta, en lugar de viajar al futuro, es recibida por otra Eunyu que vive en el año 1982. La Eunyu del pasado sospecha que la carta puede ser de una espía, ya que está llena de palabras modernas que no entiende, mientras que la Eunyu del presente piensa que la respuesta es una broma de mal gusto. Sin embargo, ambas descubren que hay un vínculo verdadero que las une y deciden resolver sus problemas utilizando el tiempo en el que vive cada una de ellas, mientras intentan descubrir la razón por la que sus cartas han atravesado las barreras del tiempo.<br> <br> <br> <br> <i>The year is 2016 and with her father's second marriage around the corner, Eunyu feels uneasy. Her father suggests that she write a letter to herself that she will receive a year later. But this letter, instead of traveling to the future, is received by another Eunyu who lives in the year 1982. The Eunyu of the past suspects that the letter may be from a spy, since it is full of modern words that she does not understand, while Present-day Eunyu thinks the answer is a bad joke. However, they both discover that there is a true bond that unites them and decide to solve their problems using the time in which each of them lives, while trying to discover the reason why her letters have crossed the barriers of time.</i>

El Gran Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald • 1970
"The year is 1922, and young Nick Carraway moves to the village of West Egg, where he discovers that his neighbor is the eclectic millionaire Jay Gatsby. As he and Gatsby become acquainted, Nick is thrown into a world full of dazzling parties, unrequited love, and unchecked idealism.Gatsby, surrounded by riches, yearns for the love of a woman who chose another man. He waits for her every night, using a green light at the end of his dock to call out to her from across the water. Daisy, stuck in a loveless marriage, dreams of what could have been—and gets a taste for it after she is re-acquainted with Gatsby through Nick.Considered by critics to be one of the greatest novels ever written, this 1925 masterpiece is a portrait of the Roaring Twenties that’s full of literary intrigue, resounding metaphors, and decadent glimpses into the glitz and glam of early twentieth-century America. As relevant today as ever, it offers a cautionary tale of the American Dream, warning against the temptation to believe that enough money paired with equal desire can achieve anything—even reverse the deepest regrets."

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.

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley •
'I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.

<br> Mientras aterriza en un aeropuerto europeo, Toru Watanabe, un ejecutivo de 37 años, escucha una vieja canción de los Beatles que le hace retroceder a su juventud, al turbulento Tokio de los años sesenta. Con una mezcla de melancolía y desasosiego, Toru recuerda entonces a la inestable y misteriosa Naoko, la novia de su mejor y único amigo de la adolescencia, Kizuki. El suicidio de éste distanció a Toru y a Naoko durante un año, hasta que se reencontraron e iniciaron una relación íntima. Sin embargo, la aparición de otra mujer en la vida de Toru le lleva a experimentar el deslumbramiento y el desengaño allí donde todo debería cobrar sentido: el sexo, el amor y la muerte. Y ningún de los personajes parece capaz de alcanzar el frágil equilibrio entre las esperanzas juveniles y la necesidad de encontrar un lugar en el mundo.<br>

Botchan
Natsume Soseki · 2017
In its simplest understanding, "Botchan" may be taken as an episode in the life of a son born in Tokyo, hot-blooded, simple-hearted, pure as crystal and sturdy as a towering rock, honest and straight to a fault, intolerant of the least injustice and a volunteer ever ready to champion what he considers right and good. Children may read it as a "story of man who tried to be honest." It is a light, amusing and, at the name time, instructive story, with no tangle of love affairs, no scheme of blood-curdling scenes or nothing startling or sensational in the plot or characters.

YA A LA VENTA 9ª EDICIÓN<br/>LA COMEDIA ROMÁNTICA MÁS ESPERADA DEL AÑO QUE HA CAUSADO SENSACIÓN EN TIKTOK.<br/>Una relación falsa entre dos científicos se topa con la irresistible fuerza de la atracción.<br/>Olive Smith es una doctoranda de tercer año que no cree en las relaciones amorosas duraderas, pero su mejor amiga, Ahn, sí, y por eso Olive se ha metido en un lío monumental. A Ahn le gusta el exnovio de Olive, pero jamás daría el primer paso porque es una buena amiga. A Olive no le va a resultar nada fácil convencerla de que ha pasado página, puesto que los científicos necesitan pruebas. Por eso, como cualquier mujer con un mínimo de amor propio, se deja llevar por el pánico y besa al primer hombre con el que se encuentra para que Ahn la vea.<br/>Ese hombre es nada más y nada menos que Adam Carlsen, un joven profesor tan reputado por la calidad de su trabajo como por su imbecilidad. Así que Olive se queda de piedra cuando Carlsen accede a mantener su farsa en secreto y ser su novio falso. Sin embargo, después de que un importante congreso científico se convierta en un desastre y Adam vuelva a sorprenderla con su apoyo inquebrantable (y sus inquebrantables abdominales), su pequeño experimento se acerca peligrosamente al punto de combustión. Olive no tarda en descubrir que la única cosa más complicada que una hipótesis sobre el amor es analizar su propio corazón bajo el microscopio.

<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

The cruel prince
Holly Black • 2018
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, comes the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a web of royal faerie intrigue. Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.
