At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

Kate Tempest is one of the most exciting and innovative performers to have emerged in spoken-word poetry in many years; her dramatic poem Brand New Ancients won the prestigious Ted Hughes Prize for innovation in poetry. Tempest's wholly unique blend of street poetry, rap and storytelling - combined with the spellbinding delivery of an open-air revivalist - has won her legions of followers all over the UK. Her remarkable stage presence is wholly audible in this poem, a spoken story written to be told with live music. Brand New Ancients is the tale of two families and their intertwining lives, set against the background of the city and braided with classical myth. Here, Tempest shows how the old myths still live on in our everyday acts of violence, bravery, sacrifice and love - and that our lives make tales no less dramatic and powerful than those of the old gods.

This book offers a rigorous and self-contained presentation of stochastic integration and stochastic calculus within the general framework of continuous semimartingales. The main tools of stochastic calculus, including Itô's formula, the optional stopping theorem and Girsanov's theorem, are treated in detail alongside many illustrative examples. The book also contains an introduction to Markov processes, with applications to solutions of stochastic differential equations and to connections between Brownian motion and partial differential equations. The theory of local times of semimartingales is discussed in the last chapter. § Since its invention by Itô, stochastic calculus has proven to be one of the most important techniques of modern probability theory, and has been used in the most recent theoretical advances as well as in applications to other fields such as mathematical finance. Brownian Motion, Martingales, and Stochastic Calculus provides a strong theoretical background to the reader interested in such developments. § Beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate students will benefit from this detailed approach to an essential area of probability theory. The emphasis is on concise and efficient presentation, without any concession to mathematical rigor. The material has been taught by the author for several years in graduate courses at two of the most prestigious French universities. The fact that proofs are given with full details makes the book particularly suitable for self-study. The numerous exercises help the reader to get acquainted with the tools of stochastic calculus.

Quando nel maggio 1987 si venne a sapere che il marchio Bugatti era stato acquisito per farlo rinascere, il mondo dell'automobile iniziò a fibrillare. I protagonisti di questa iniziativa erano due: l'ingegner Paolo Stanzani (padre delle più prestigiose automobili Lamborghini) che aveva già iniziato a progettare una nuova vettura ancora prima dell'acquisizione effettiva del marchio, e un imprenditore molto appassionato di autoveicoli, impegnato con successo nella loro importazione dal Giappone e nella distribuzione di vetture Ferrari. Paolo Stanzani, amministratore unico della Bugatti Automobili, attivò, tra gli altri, Marcello Gandini, designer di fama internazionale e subito dopo Dario Trucco, autore di questo libro, incaricandolo di fare quanto necessario per progettare e costruire la carrozzeria dell'auto che Gandini stesso stava disegnando. Con investimenti modesti l'ing. Stanzani riuscì a realizzare il motopropulsore, tutta la meccanica, il telaio e la prima carrozzeria. E poi cosa successe? Il seguito l'hanno raccontato in tanti, a partire dall'imprenditore con un suo libro. Anche altri ne parlarono, e le opinioni espresse da ciascuno non potevano essere le più diverse. Come si poteva superare questa "impasse", figlia di una trama dalle mille verità? Semplice: interpellare tutte le persone che, con qualunque ruolo, avevano partecipato al progetto, raccogliere le loro testimonianze riportandole integralmente, fino a confezionare questo libro, che non poteva intitolarsi diversamente: Bugatti, la vera storia della EB110.

Hailed as 'a monumental history ...more exciting than any novel' (NRC Handelsblad), David van Reybrouck's rich and gripping epic, in the tradition of Robert Hughes's 'The Fatal Shore', tells the extraordinary story of one of the world's most devastated countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo. Epic in scope yet eminently readable, penetrating and deeply moving, David van Reybrouck's 'Congo' traces the fate of one of the world's most critical, failed nation-states, second only to war-torn Somalia: the Democratic Republic of Congo. This extraordinary book is already an international bestseller, recipient of the prestigious Prix Medicis essai 2012 and the AKO Literature Prize, and is widely regarded as a modern masterpiece. Van Reybrouck takes us through several hundred years of history, bringing some of the most dramatic episodes in Congolese history.Here are the people and events that have impinged the Congo's development - from the slave trade to the ivory and rubber booms; from the arrival of Henry Morton Stanley to the tragic regime of King Leopold II; from global indignation to Belgian colonialism; from the struggle for independence to Mobutu's brutal rule; and from the world famous Rumble in the Jungle to the civil war over natural resources that began in 1996 and still rages today. Van Reybrouck interweaves his own family's history with the voices of a diverse range of individuals - charismatic dictators, feuding warlords, child-soldiers, the elderly, female merchant smugglers, and many in the African diaspora of Europe and China - to offer a deeply humane approach to political history, focusing squarely on the Congolese perspective and returning a nation's history to its people.

La neurociencia ha logrado que implantar recuerdos o prótesis neuronales y la posibilidad de leer la mente ya no sean un asunto de ciencia ficción. «Quiero hablarles de la revolución que estamos viviendo en relación con el funcionamiento del cerebro. Una revolución tan profunda, tan cercana a las raíces de nuestra propia esencia, que se nutre de las discusiones más trascendentales de la filosofía y, a la vez, tan atrapante, que ha disparado la imaginación de escritores futuristas, siendo una fuente inagotable de infinidad de películas de ciencia ficción». El prestigioso físico y neurocientífico Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, descubridor de las neuronas de concepto (también llamadas de Jennifer Aniston, porque responden a estímulos tan específicos como la imagen de la actriz) abre en Cosas que nunca creeríais las puertas a un viaje fantástico hacia cómo los avances en la neurociencia están materializando imaginarios antes reservados para las películas de ciencia ficción: desde borrar recuerdos hasta implantar prótesis neuronales o leer la mente. Así, películas comoOrigen, Blade Runner, 2001: Odisea en el espacio o El planeta de los simios se convierten en un fértil campo de trabajo, no exento de importantes retos filosóficos, para las decenas de científicos que, como Quian Quiroga, trabajan diariamente para aproximar la fantasía a la realidad.La crítica ha dicho:«Si te gusta la ciencia ficción, este libro es para ti. Pero si te gusta la ciencia y la ficción, sin duda éste es tu libro. Inteligente y bien informado».Antonio Damasio, director del Instituto del Cerebro y la Creatividad de la Universidad del Sur de California y autor de El error de Descartes. «Rodrigo Quian Quiroga ha escrito una respuesta exhaustiva y provocadora a la profunda cuestión filosófica de qué nos hace humanos. Su libro, verdaderamente notable, mezcla arte, ciencia y filosofía vistos a través de la originalísima lente de la investigación del cerebro y el cine».Gustavo Deco, profesor ICREA, director del Centro de Cerebro y Cognición de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra. «El reconocido neurocientífico cognitivo Rodrigo Quian Quiroga nos invita a un estimulante viaje en el que el variopinto trío formado por la neurociencia, la filosofía y Hollywood buscan juntos la receta de la mente».Doris Y. Tsao, neurocientífica y profesora de biología en el Instituto Tecnológico de California. «Este libro es un viaje fascinante a través de algunas de las películas de ciencia ficción más influyentes, que abordan las cuestiones másprofundas de la neurociencia y la filosofía de la mente».Jose M.

Cuenta la leyenda que durante los preparativos de la película de James Bond Vive y deja morir, el productor Albert Broccoli encargó al maestro surrealista Salvador Dalí que diseñara una baraja de cartas de tarot. Inspirado probablemente por Gala, que alimentó su interés por el misticismo, Dalí se puso manos a la obra. El proyecto le entusiasmaba y siguió con él aun cuando el acuerdo con el productor finalmente no llegó a concretarse.Sus diseños fueron publicados en una Edición de Arte limitada en 1984 agotada desde hace tiempo, lo que convierte a Dalí en el primer pintor de prestigio en crear una baraja de cartas de tarot completamente nueva. Sirviéndose de las obras maestras occidentales desde la Antigüedad hasta la modernidad (incluidas algunas creaciones propias), Dalí combina a la perfección su conocimiento de lo arcano con su inconfundible ingenio. El resultado es un caleidoscopio surrealista de la historia del arte europeo.TASCHEN recupera las 78 cartas en un nuevo homenaje a la inimitable baraja diseñada por Dalí, acompañada de un cuaderno a cargo del reconocido experto alemán en el tarot Johannes Fiebig que incluye:una introducción a la vida de Dalí y a la realización del proyectouna descripción detallada de la composición de cada carta, su significado y consejos prácticosinstrucciones paso a paso sobre cómo leer las cartasuna explicación sin tecnicismos que simplifica el tarot para principiantes

"Dazzling . . . In this extremely creepy book, Hayder's third, the diabolically gifted British author spins a fascinating mystery from the legacy of Japanese atrocities during World War II."--"Entertainment Weekly" "A haunting, lyrical, disturbing, important, suspenseful, wonderfully written and beautiful book. You will love reading it, and you will not soon forget the experience."--Harlan Coben Grey has a lot to prove and even more to hide. A young Englishwoman obsessed with a past she cannot understand, she has come to Tokyo following rumors of a rare piece of film footage shot during the notorious Nanking Massacre in 1937, which has been lost for decades. But the only man who can help, a survivor of the massacre and now a visiting professor at a prestigious Tokyo university, will have nothing to do with her. Increasingly desperate in an alien city, Grey accepts a job as a hostess in an upmarket nightspot catering to Japanese businessmen and wealthy yakuza, where one gangster--an old man in a wheelchair surrounded by a terrifying entourage, rumored to rely on a powerful elixir for his continued health--might be the key to the answers Grey seeks. Taut and gritty, with the redolent atmosphere of Ian Rankin and the spine-tingling characters of Thomas Harris, "The Devil of Nanking" is a tour de force that confirms Mo Hayder as a thriller writer of the first order. "Wrenching . . . A beautifully controlled thriller about culture clash . . . Scary."--Douglas Wolk, "The New York Times Book Review" "There is a terrible beauty to both narratives as they unfold toward an agonizing but inevitable conclusion, with the two stories dovetailing exquisitely . . . "The Devil of Nanking" just may be one of the best books of the year."--Tom and Enid Schantz, "The Denver Post "

William Twining has it all-a sharp intelligence, dashing good looks, and a noble station in life. There's only one problem: he's broke. With no way to finance his prestigious education, William decides to search through his uncle's mansion for something of value to sell. But William's logical worldview is about to take a hit, when he comes across a mystical seal which he unintentionally uses to summon a demon.The demon's name is Dantalion, a Grand Duke of Hell, who informs the young nobleman of his destiny-that he is the new "Elector" whose sole responsibility is to appoint the next ruler of Hell in place of Lucifer. Such news might drive a lesser man mad, but not William Twining. He's a realist whose views don't allow for the existence of demons, even when scores of demonic candidates begin to knock down his door and seek his favor. None of this can possibly be real-can it?-and besides, he's got bills to pay.
