The End of the Game, una publicación histórica sobre África, combina un texto sobresaliente y unas fotografías magníficas de Peter Beard para documentar la superpoblación y el hambre de decenas de miles de elefantes, rinocerontes e hipopotamos en las tierras bajas de Tsavo, en Kenia, y en los parques nacionales de Uganda en las decadas de 1960 y 1970. Beard dedico dos decadas a investigar y compilar material para esta obra, que actualizo posteriormente en varias ocasiones. El resultado es un libro esencial que ofrece un testimonio poderoso y conmovedor del daño causado por la intervencion humana en Africa. Sus imagenes y textos se complementan con fotografias historicas y citas de empresarios, exploradores, misioneros y cazadores de caza mayor cuya busqueda de aventuras y progreso iba a cambiar la faz de un continente: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway y J. H. Patterson. Esta nueva edicion incluye una entrevista con el conservacionista Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin, asi como ensayos procedentes de ediciones anteriores del reconocido escritor Paul Theroux, el ecologo Dr. Richard M. Laws y contribuciones al epilogo del agronomo Dr. Norman Borlaug. Con su modo de abordar el alejamiento de la naturaleza, la superpoblacion y el estres, asi como la perdida del sentido comun, este retrato fundamental esta tan vigente hoy, en medio de crecientes crisis ambientales, como lo estuvo hace medio siglo.

Una historia hecha de muchas historias. ¿Cuál es exactamente la historia de España? La historia de España puede explicarse a través de la épica, de los grandes momentos que marcaron un antes y un despues: puede ser la llegada de Colon a America o la voz de la Pasionaria, el imperio donde no se ponia el sol o el desastre de la Armada Invencible. Pero tambien puede ser mucho mas de lo que imaginamos. Puede ser las redes de apoyo de La Cofradia de Pescadoras de Bermeo, la lucha de las heroinas de Numancia o la tenacidad de la huelga de la Canadiense. Puede ser un viaje lleno de grandes gestas y pequeños logros, de luces y sombras, de solidaridad, conflicto, comunidad y resistencia, y de realidades que pocas veces se han explicado. Acompaña al guionista, dibujante y profesor de historia Pedro Cifuentes en este recorrido apasionante por la compleja formacion de nuestro pais. Un comic que desmitifica, cuestiona y revela las multiples caras de un territorio en constante transformacion. Descubre la historia de España que nunca se han atrevido a contarte.
