¿Viste tu vida pasar por delante de tus ojos antes de morir? ¿Era yo la protagonista de alguna de esas imágenes? ¿Cuál fue tu último pensamiento? ¿Llegaste a quererme alguna vez? ¿Para quién eran esas flores?

Martín murió hace más de un año y Alicia no deja de hacerse esas preguntas, atormentada por el recuerdo de quien fuera su prometido. Apenas tiene veintiocho y ya es viuda, pero en los arcenes de su luto
aguardan una nueva pareja, el reencuentro con su mejor amiga y el fantasma de una madre ausente.

Cuerpos malditos es una novela breve y áspera sobre cómo nos transforman las pérdidas. La historia de una mujer que busca rehacer su vida al tiempo que ahonda en el pasado para desenredar los motivos de su infelicidad: una adolescencia marcada por la aparición del deseo, la violencia, la dificultad para reconocer su propio cuerpo y las heridas del primer amor y del primer desengaño.

Francia, 1320. Una extraña niña, blanca como la nieve, nace a la vez que muere su madre; su aspecto indica que es hija del demonio, y para evitar que pronuncie la palabra de éste la comadrona le corta la lengua. Pero Auda es fuerte, y sobrevive. Su padre, un prestigioso fabricante de papel de la ciudad, le enseña a escribir para que así pueda comunicarse. Su caligrafía es tan primorosa que encuentra un trabajo con los señores del castillo, donde estará a salvo de la Inquisición, que persigue a todos aquellos sospechosos de tener algún trato con Satanás. El Santo Oficio, sin embargo, acusa al padre de Auda de hacer negocios con los Hombres Buenos y lo condena a muerte. ¿Logrará Auda limpiar el nombre de su padre a tiempo para salvarle la vida?

Translating fundamental principles into day-to-day engineering concepts, this reference provides the tools to accurately measure process efficiency and sustainability in the power and chemical industries. It helps engineers recognize why losses occur and how they can be reduced utilizing familiar thermodynamic principles. It also compares the present industrial society with an emerging metabolic society in which mass production and consumption are in closer harmony with the natural environment. The book uses classic thermodynamic principles for clear understanding, analysis, and optimization of workflows, environmental resources, and driving forces in the chemical and power industries.

ANCORA & DELFIN Narrativa General Narrativa

The Advances in Earthquake Engineering series is intended primarily for the transformation of frontier technologies and research results and state-of-the-art professional practices. This volume comprehensively explores seismic design aids and nonlinear properties of RC elements in a form that is useful for practicing engineers and researchers to readily use without solving complex equations. With step-by-step numerical procedures and supplemental online material, the text clarifies the complexities involved in estimating basic input parameters required for nonlinear analysis of RC beam and frame structures under seismic loads until collapse. With several case examples of beam and frames, this superior reference is ideal for academicians and graduate engineering students.
