Y bueno, Daniella, jamás negaría su ayuda a un niño necesitado. Ni tampoco a un sexy padre soltero...

Yesi y Desi. Vecinas. Amigas. Rivales. Dos destinos que se entrecruzan con consecuencias devastadoras. Berta Marsé se estrena en la novela. «Nacer en el mismo año, bajo el mismo signo zodiacal, vivir en el mismo barrio y estudiar en el mismo colegio, frecuentar el mismo parque, las mismas plazas, los mismos comercios no tiene por qué suponer una estrecha amistad. Si acaso una amistad circunscrita al espacio y al tiempo, ineludible, como una especie de tara genética. Pero no una amistad verdadera. Yesica Lugano y yo nunca fuimos amigas de verdad, nunca intimamos ni nos hicimos confidencias. Ni siquiera en los años de parvulario y colegio que compartimos –hasta que su padre se decidió a matricularla en una prestigiosa escuela italiana–, y por mucho empeño que pusieron nuestras madres; o quizá, en buena parte, a causa de ello. Porque todo lo que yo sabía de Yesi –y entonces creía que lo sabía prácticamente todo–, lo sabía por mi madre.» Quien explica todo esto es Desi, a la que unen tantas cosas con Yesi y sin embargo tantas otras la separan de ella. Ambas son chicas del barrio de Sant Antoni de Barcelona, una zona popular tocada por la crisis, cuyo día a día ...

CRUISE /kro͞oz/ verb 1. To sail in an area, especially for pleasure 2. To look for someone...definitely for pleasure Mackenzie Laurel is done with rotten lemons. Especially the guy kind. With no relationship, no job, and nowhere to live, Mac’s leaving reality behind to go on a luxury cruise. Sun. Sand. Ocean breezes. Heaven. Of course, a little fun in the sun wouldn’t hurt. And a certain green-eyed passenger might just be the thirst-quenching lemonade she needs... Cole Matterhorn isn’t a relationship guy. Hell, he can barely commit to leftovers. Yet the second he meets Mac, there’s sparks—the kind that could mean some delicious distraction. Distraction that Cole desperately needs to escape from his work problems and the event that imploded any chance of his having a normal life. Mac and Cole have more in common than just chemistry. She’s hard of hearing and knows a little something about not always fitting in—and that his prosthetic does not define him. For 9 days they’re both having the time of their lives, whether it’s their failed trivia attempts, heating things up on a Caribbean beach, or even a sexy karaoke serenade. Now it’s only a matter of time before...

The Cnidaria, Past, Present and Future

Autor: Stefano Goffredo , Zvy Dubinsky

Número de Páginas: 842

This volume presents a broad panorama of the current status of research of invertebrate animals considered belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, such as hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. In this book the Cnidarians are traced from the Earth’s primordial oceans, to their response to the warming and acidifying oceans. Due to the role of corals in the carbon and calcium cycles, various aspects of cnidarian calcification are discussed. The relation of the Cnidaria with Mankind is approached, in accordance with the Editors’ philosophy of bridging the artificial schism between science, arts and Humanities. Cnidarians' encounters with humans result in a broad spectrum of medical emergencies that are reviewed. The final section of the volume is devoted to the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology and art.

Número de Páginas: 345

Persona-emociones-pensamiento. Esa es la ecuación que mueve montañas, agita todo lo movible y lo que no, también. A lo largo y ancho de esta obra hablaremos extensamente acerca de esta ecuación, que da sentido a la vida en general, y por supuesto, al juego en particular. Pensemos en el resultado que se da sobre el rectángulo de juego y que a buen seguro es complejo, tanto como la suma de emociones y pensamientos a flor de piel, enervados por la intensidad del momento, azuzados por la mezcla de factores que alteran la ecuación pero con una esencia muy clara: el juego como medio receptor, generador y canalizador de la interacción de los componentes de la ecuación; todo comportamientos, menos sistemas. El juego como escenario para que los actores desplieguen su esencia: la capacidad de entender el guión e interpretar el personaje con una maestría ejemplar. Para ello se ha de sentir, se ha de pensar y se ha de interpretar y en la rueda que se instaura, en la que se inaugura un ciclo de feed-back donde los factores cobran sentido en el impulso entre ellos, el refuerzo, el aprendizaje que se realiza en el propio rodaje, da al intérprete la seguridad de quien se hace sabedor...

Número de Páginas: 233

Radically reimagine our ways of being, learning, and doing Education can be transformed if we eradicate our fixation on big data like standardized test scores as the supreme measure of equity and learning. Instead of the focus being on "fixing" and "filling" academic gaps, we must envision and rebuild the system from the student up—with classrooms, schools and systems built around students’ brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellectual potential. Street data reminds us that what is measurable is not the same as what is valuable and that data can be humanizing, liberatory and healing. By breaking down street data fundamentals: what it is, how to gather it, and how it can complement other forms of data to guide a school or district’s equity journey, Safir and Dugan offer an actionable framework for school transformation. Written for educators and policymakers, this book · Offers fresh ideas and innovative tools to apply immediately · Provides an asset-based model to help educators look for what’s right in our students and communities instead of seeking what’s wrong · Explores a different application of data, from its capacity to help us diagnose root causes of inequity, ...

September 26, 1984 In that town the mornings were cold, and, although they were still in the autumn, that fresh and freezing air that penetrated the bones began to be noticed, wanting to immobilize you for a few moments. The surroundings of the town were immensely vast fields, thousands and thousands of cornfields covered with ice and snow. From the window of the old institute of "Santa Teresa", Martin could see the odd little bird hovering alone beneath the black and sad sky. - Ringg! -. The siren sounded, when she did it all the students knew very well that they had fifteen minutes to have lunch or chat with friends, and, who carelessly arrived late to Miss Tood's class, “language teacher”, knew that I would have the subject suspended throughout the semester. Only two days left to finish the evaluation (the penultimate opportunity, they called her), Martín and Javi went to the copy shop when that unpleasant and frightening noise that came from the stomach of the institute (youth prison), discharged all their anger in the students. Immediately everyone disappeared, that place had become uninhabited, without people, quiet, it was almost unreal. It rang again. Javi paid no...

Annelida Basal Groups and Pleistoannelida, Sedentaria I

Autor: Günter Purschke , Markus Böggemann , Andreas Schmidt-rhaesa , Wilfried Westheide

Número de Páginas: 492

This book is the first in a series of 4 volumes in the Handbook of Zoology series about morphology, anatomy, reproduction, development, ecology, phylogeny and systematics of Annelida. This first volume covers members of the so-called basal radiation and the first part of Sedentaria. It is supplemented by chapters on the history of annelid research, their fossil record, and an introduction to the phylogeny of annelids and their position in the tree of life. In the latter chapter the history of their systematic is reviewed giving an almost complete picture of systematic-scientific progress especially in the past years which changed our view on annelid phylogeny dramatically. The most basal annelids, lately united as Palaeoannelida, represent two families of aberrant polychaetes formerly often suggested to be highly derived which now give us a fresh look on how the ancestral annelid may have looked like. These lack certain key characters such as nuchal organs and possess rather simple nervous systems which now likely represent primitive character states. In this basal radiation the first taxon of apparently unsegmented and achaetigerous animals is positioned, the Sipuncula. Most...
