#1 internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson shows readers how to identify and avoid the psychopaths around them. Charming, charismatic, and delightful or manipulative, self-serving, and cunning? Psychopaths are both and that's exactly what makes them dangerous. Bestselling author of the international phenomenon Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson reveals how to identify the psychopaths in your life and combat their efforts to control and manipulate. Using the same simple four-color system of behavior classification that made Surrounded by Idiots so popular, Surrounded by Psychopaths teaches readers how to deal with psychopaths in their lives by becoming aware of their own behavior and their weaknesses. Vivid example stories illustrate ways that psychopaths can take advantage of various behavior types, helping readers identify their own weaknesses and be proactive about protecting themselves. Erikson outlines some of the most common forms of manipulation used by psychopaths-and others-to influence those around them. Since manipulation can often be a feature of ordinary, non-psychopathic relationships, the book also includes practical methods and techniques to help readers confront controlling people and rehabilitate negative relationships into mutually respectful ones. By understanding your behavior as well as the tendencies and strategies of psychopaths, Surrounded by Psychopaths will teach you to protect yourself from manipulative influence in your workplace, social life, and family.

Building on the foundation established with the first book in the series, Framed Perspective 2 guides artists through the challenging tasks of projecting shadows in proper perspective on a variety of environments and working with characters in perspective
Perspective is a discipline often set aside when it comes to general art study, though it is essential to master in order to produce any piece of art that is and feels realistic. Framed Perspective 1 equips artists with the technical knowledge needed to produce successful visual storytelling-related drawings: from understanding the basics of the space around us and how we perceive it, all the way to more sophisticated endeavors, like creating entire locations that will become the believable set ups our characters and stories will happen within. As intimidating as perspective may seem, best-selling author and artist Marcos Mateu-Mestre delivers each lesson in an accessible and informative way that takes the mystery out of achieving successful scenes. The book includes extensive step-by-step practical explanations of how to build objects and environments of all sorts, taking that first sketch to a fully rendered artwork with many of his finished illustrations as examples. Sure to be the most popular book in your art library, it will train you to see the world in a way that allows you to enjoy every curve and slope you see in it and, more importantly, translate that vision into art with accuracy and a great sense and understanding of depth and proportion. Your perspective will never be the same!

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.

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.
