Nostalgia

Francisco Umbral logra una crónica magistral de la adolescencia y la provincia que va desde el milagrismo de la guerra y la posguerra al realismo cotidiano de la pequeña ciudad; del cielo de España por el que volaban los obispos al infierno de los más duros trabajos de la época, pasando por el purgatorio de la adolescencia.Pío XII, Millán Astral, la Virgen de Fátima y la guardia mora de Franco transitan con naturalidad por esta obra brillante, irónica y melancólica que fue finalista del Premio Planeta 1985.

Reader beware! The biography of R. L. Stine, author of the hugely popular Goosebumps series, is a scary-good time! R. L. Stine began writing stories at the age of nine, after finding a typewriter in his family's attic. (Was it a haunted typewriter? Who can be sure?) Often referred to as the "Stephen King of children's literature," R.L. has created some of the scariest books to have ever been passed around a campfire, leaving readers wide awake at night. With over 400 million copies of his horror fiction novels sold across the world, R.L. Stine is one of the best-selling authors in history.

Apartments, houses, log cabins, and houseboats are all kinds of homes, though they can look vastly different. Around the world, families settle into homes that can look quite different than these, yet serve the same purpose: to shelter. This volume will capture readers' imaginations, allowing them to view various types of homes, including the yaodongs of China and Queenslanders of Australia. Beautiful photographs serve to illustrate both architectural and cultural concepts.

3 million years ago, men built the first stone tools for hunting. 2 million years ago, men walked in a completely upright position and had already discovered fire. 1 million years ago, men organized themselves in groups... Okay, okay, but what about the women? Where were the women in the meantime?
