Now with over 10 million copies sold, The Mistborn Series has the thrills of a heist story, the twistiness of political intrigue, and the epic scale of a landmark fantasy saga.The impossible has been accomplished. The Lord Ruler-the man who claimed to be god incarnate and brutally ruled the world for a thousand years-has been vanquished. But Kelsier, the hero who masterminded that triumph, is dead too, and now the awesome task of building a new world has been left to his young protégé, Vin, the former street urchin who is now the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and to the idealistic young nobleman she loves.As Kelsier's protégé and slayer of the Lord Ruler she is now venerated by a budding new religion, a distinction that makes her intensely uncomfortable. Even more worrying, the mists have begun behaving strangely since the Lord Ruler died, and seem to harbor a strange vaporous entity that haunts her.Stopping assassins may keep Vin's Mistborn skills sharp, but it's the least of her problems. Luthadel, the largest city of the former empire, doesn't run itself, and Vin and the other members of Kelsier's crew, who lead the revolution, must learn a whole new set of practical and political skills to help. It certainly won't get easier with three armies-one of them composed of ferocious giants-now vying to conquer the city, and no sign of the Lord Ruler's hidden cache of atium, the rarest and most powerful allomantic metal.As the siege of Luthadel tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.

Brandon Sanderson, widely acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time saga", begins a grand cycle of his own, with The Way of Kings, Book One of the Stormlight Archive.Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, "The Way of Kings" is but the opening movement of the "Stormlight Archive", a bold masterpiece in the making.

We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise. But what causes mental illness? And why are mental health problems so hard to treat? Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.Brain Energy explains this new understanding of mental illness in detail, from symptoms and risk factors to what is happening in brain cells. Palmer also sheds light on the new treatment pathways this theory opens up - which apply to all mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, autism, and even schizophrenia. Brain Energy pairs cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health.This groundbreaking book reveals: Why classifying mental disorders as "separate" conditions is misleading. The clear connections between mental illness and disorders linked to metabolism, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, pain disorders, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy. The link between metabolism and every factor known to play a role in mental health, including genetics, inflammation, hormones, neurotransmitters, sleep, stress, and traumaThe evidence that current mental health treatments, including both medications and therapies, likely work by affecting metabolism.New treatments available today that readers can use to promote long-term healing. Palmer puts together the pieces of the mental illness puzzle to provide answers and offer hope. Brain Energy will transform the field of mental health, and the lives of countless people around the world.

Vargas Llosa crea una sátira exquisita de la literatura rosa y de lanovela popular que tanto éxito ha tenido en los países de hablahispana, al tiempo que cuestiona la hipocresía, el racismo y elclasismo de la sociedad lime?a de la época, con la maestría a la queya nos tiene acostumbrados. «El género novelesco no ha nacido paracontar verdades, éstas, al pasar a la ficción, se vuelven siemprementiras.» Mario Vargas LlosaYa en el título de esta novela de Mario Vargas Llosa, publicada en1977, se recoge la doble historia en que se vertebra su argumento: por un lado, la relación amorosa del joven escritor Varguitas con unamujer de su familia mayor que él, la tía Julia, y por otro, ladesaforada presencia del folletinista Pedro Camacho en la mismaemisora de radio donde Varguitas trabaja. La noble pasión amorosaentre la tía Julia y el aprendiz de novelista, que la sociedad lime?ade los a?os cincuenta trata por todos los medios de impedir, secombina en esta novela de Vargas Llosa con las narraciones truculentas del folletinista de las ondas.El contrapunto de una encendida pasión con aires shakesperianos y sucorrelato melodramático y la inesperada confluencia del devoto de laalta literatura y el escribidor rastrero son algunas claves de estanarración mayor de Mario Vargas Llosa. La tía Julia y el escribidorreúne el interés de los relatos de aventuras, donde la atención dellector queda sujeta a un final feliz continuamente postergado, y elmás desternillante y grotesco pasatiempo, gracias sin duda a lasdivertidas aportaciones del escribidor Camacho, uno de los grandespersonajes del novelista peruano.
