A cuatro manos, la escritora y extranjera –como a ella le gusta llamarse– Clara Obligado y Raúl de Tapia, biólogo, botánico y degustador de paisajes –como a él le gusta llamarse– se internan en un bosque donde las raíces de las letras y las ciencias se unen. Memoria y naturaleza, ramas y raíces, lo aéreo y lo subterráneo. Y el fuego, ese pavor. Un árbol de compañía habla de lo que nos une al suelo y de lo que nos hace devorar el aire.

Operation Gold is one of the most extraordinary—and least believed—Cold War operations ever attempted: a secret tunnel dug beneath divided Berlin so Britain and America could listen directly to Soviet communications. It sounds like the plot of a spy thriller, yet it happened in real life, in a city where every street corner had eyes, every building had informants, and every shadow seemed to belong to someone else. This book takes you into that world, where engineering became espionage, and where the ground itself became a battleground.

With poetic grit and unfiltered honesty, Fisher chronicles his backbreaking daily grind on the Atlantic Ocean, only to be blindsided by the cold fist of bureaucracy: the ice-hearted Pease Port Authority. Ultimately, his 30 years as a commercial fisherman collapses simply because of a clerical misstep that the Authority, blind to his desperate pleas, refuses to ignore.

Tapia call this low percentage of Latino and Latina corporate executives today the “five percent shame”.

Nonostante le promesse in campagna elettorale i 5 Stelle non hanno bloccato (a causa delle penali previste) i lavori del gasdotto Trans-Adriatico che porterà il gas da mar Caspio, attraverso Grecia e Albania, fino in Puglia.
