On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to lifes problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals, where four-sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air, using radial flight. With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations. This is a must-read book, which I heartily recommend. ~ Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology

Every generation has its brilliant virtuosi players who, by common consent, stand that little bit apart from their contemporaries. And just occasionally another, greater, phenomenon appears: an artist so very special that he creates an entirely new horizon for his art, an entirely new approach to his instrument. Such an artist was Pablo Casals.There is no musician today who has not, in some way, been touched by Casals. His innovations sparked a revolution and changed for ever the accepted limitations of playing the cello; his teachings stand as a beacon, proud and resolute, for all others to follow.In the wider world, his courageous stand against the fascists who had overrun his beloved Catalonia earned him the respect and attention of the worlds most renowned leaders, from the President of the United States to the Secretary General of the United Nations.Here, then, is a portrait of Pablo Casals in his own words and the words of others. Its all here: his love of humanity, his wisdom, his idealism, his courage, his obstinacy, the inspiration he sparked and above all shining through the pages like a rare and precious jewel the overwhelming, triumphant and towering genius.

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

La periodista Valeria Vegas construye en este precioso libro una semblanza emotiva, divertida y llena de sorpresas y chascarrillos de lasprincipalesmujeres que han construido en el último siglo, contra viento y marea, una de nuestras señasesencialesde identidad, elfolclore flamenco.Ellas son la voz de nuestra cultura musical, españolearon por el mundo y vivieron vidas vertiginosas en tiempos dificiles, valientes, talentosas y... tan flamencas.Cuestionadas, infravaloradas y muchas veces injustamente olvidadas, nuestras folcloricas son mujeres de naturaleza volcanica, que cantaron y vivieron como nadie el amor y el drama. Sus historias, en tiempos en los que ser del sexo femenino no ayudaba, demuestran que eran astutas, que lograron controlar sus vidas y adelantarse a sus epocas mientras construian nuestro legado cultural mas internacional, llegando a ser algunas autenticas estrellas del cine y de la musica, y a relacionarse con las grandes figuras intelectuales de su epoca.El folclore flamenco ha sido denostado durante decadas por su aparente cercania al Regimen y su cierto olor a naftalina, sin embargo, a traves de la historia de sus mujeres mas punteras desde principios del siglo XX hasta hoy, la periodista Valeria Vegas quiere hacer justicia y dar cuenta de cuanto les debemos a todas ellas y cuan valientes fueron. A traves del colmillo afilado y la mirada ironica y cariñosa de su autora conoceremos las anecdotas, curiosidades y todo aquello que hizo unica y pionera a esa especie singular de mujeres que, para bien y para mal, nos guste o no, son nuestro patrimonio y nuestra cultura, nuestra historia y nuestra marca.***"No es este un manual para flamencologos, puristas ni eruditos, que ya de entrada podrian cuestionar la reivindicacion de alguna de ellas, sino mas bien un repaso por la vida y obra de veintisiete mujeres que destacaron en la copla y el folclore nacional. Fueron la banda sonora de un pais cambiante, en continua transformacion, plasmando las emociones mas descarnadas y los sentimientos mas pasionales. La figura de la folclorica llega hasta nuestros dias en forma de emoji y de iman de nevera, como evidente reflejo de su calado en el imaginario colectivo. Santo y seña de una España que se reconocia en ellas, eran a su vez la cita ineludible de cualquier extranjero de pro que pasara por aqui. Y sino ya acudian ellas al pais de turno para demostrar su talento, y como dijo una, "españolear por el mundo". Respaldadas por agudos letristas y compositores, interpretaron con desgarro canciones que hablaban de desamor, de relaciones furtivas, de penas incurables, de secretos inconfesables y tormentos varios. Tambien alegraron al publico con temas jocosos en los que se ironizaba sobre la solteria, la edad, el matrimonio o la libertad de la mujer. En definitiva, pusieron voz y actitud a lo que mucha gente pensaba, soñaba o deseaba, y aquellas mujeres, muchas de ellas de origen humilde y a veces casi analfabetas, demostraron tener el talento necesario para la evocacion, en el dificil arte de ser contadoras de historias".
