From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of `March` and `People of the Book`. A young woman`s struggle to save her family and her soul during the extraordinary year of 1666, when plague suddenly struck a small Derbyshire village. In 1666, plague swept through London, driving the King and his court to Oxford, and Samuel Pepys to Greenwich, in an attempt to escape contagion.

The tailor who cut the cloth had no way of knowing that the damp fabric carried with it bubonic infection. So begins the Year of Wonders, in which a Pennine village of 350 souls confronts a scourge beyond remedy or understanding....

Russia, 1946, the Nazis recently defeated. Stalin gathers half a dozen of the top Soviet science fiction authors in a dacha in the countryside somewhere. Convinced that the defeat of America is only a few years away, and equally convinced that the Soviet Union needs a massive external threat to hold it together, to give it purpose and direction, he tells the writers: `I want you to concoct a story about aliens poised to invade I want it to be massively detailed, and completely believable. If you need props and evidence to back it up, then we can create them. But when America is defeated, your story must be so convincing that the whole population of Soviet Russia believes in it - the population of the whole world!` The little group of...

Elogiada en su dia por la mejor critica, desde Unamuno a , "Yerma" (1934) es, tal como la definiera el propio Federico Garcia Lorca, "la imagen de la fecundidad castigada a la esterilidad" dentro de ese dramatico juego universal en el que se mueven las criaturas lorquianas: la oposicion entre las fuerzas de la vida, con su destino de libertad, y la opresion que sobre esas fuerzas se vuelca incluso hasta llegar a la muerte. A cargo de Mario Hernandez, la presente edicion de esta obra dramatica fija su texto de forma escrupulosa y se enriquece con una serie de entrevistas con el poeta rescatadas de la prensa espanola de los anos 1934 y 1935.

Having been dumped by his girlfriend, Danny really wasn`t doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead, he was avoiding people. Texting them instead of calling them. Calling them instead of meeting them. This is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say yes to everything, in order to make his life more interesting.
Most of us are only too aware that, whatever roles we have in today’s fast-moving world, much of our success lies in getting others to say ‘Yes’ to our requests. What many people might not be aware of, though, is the vast amount of research that has been conducted on the influence process. What factors cause one person to say ‘Yes’ to the request of another? Yes! is full of practical tips based on recent academic research that shows how the psychology of persuasion can provide valuable insights for anyone interested in improving their ability to persuade others – whether in the workplace, at home or even on the internet. It combines the counter-intuition of Freakonomics with the popularising of Does Anything Eats Wasps? For...
