The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

L'aria è il deposito dell'energia divina. È il più grande serbatoio in cui la vita ha immagazzinato le sue energie. L'aria, portatrice di pensieri divini, passa prima nel sistema respiratorio dove viene trasformata e da lì arriva al cervello attraverso il sangue. L'uomo, quindi, non riceve i pensieri divini direttamente dal cervello, ma è l'aria che ne è il principale vettore. Nelle attuali condizioni di vita, se l'uomo viene privato dell'aria, non sarà in grado di raccogliere alcun pensiero. In questo senso, respirare è un atto sacro.

Un rey bárbaro saqueó Roma en el año 410, y mil quinientos años después, todavía se culpa a los adolescentes. Ellos lo ignoran. Tampoco lo sabían, por cierto, los constructores de catedrales, los novelistas de terror ni los ingenieros que ahora entrenan máquinas en salas oscuras. Todos ellos son, sin excepción, personajes de un mismo malentendido, y ese malentendido tiene un nombre: Goth. Esta es la biografía de una sola palabra que jamás debió haber llegado tan lejos.

By linking both your past and your future, memory gives you the power to plan, to reason, to perceive, and to understand.

In Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory, you’ll explore the real research on how memory functions - and then apply these findings to help you make better use of the memory abilities you have.

A propósito de las vacunas, lo que más circula por internet es la desinformación. La de quienes rechazan todo tipo de avances científicos y ponen en riesgo al resto de la humanidad, pero también la de aquellas fuentes que deben ofrecer neutralidad y objetividad. Existen vacunas muy beneficiosas, que han salvado millones de vidas y todos deberíamos recibir. La eficacia o conveniencia de otras resulta dudosa. Tanto así que muchos profesionales de la salud no las aplican.

Nobody ever needed it. For the whole of human existence before the sixteenth century, our species got along on honey, fruit, and the occasional raided hive, and no one recorded the deprivation. Then, in the space of a few generations, a substance with no nutritional argument in its favor became the single most valuable commodity crossing the Atlantic Ocean, and the largest forced migration in recorded history was organized to supply it. The crop was not cotton. It was dessert.

We talk about privacy the way we talk about clean air: as something we once had in abundance and are now carelessly using up. The historical record tells a stranger story. For most of the human past there were no corridors, no locks worth the name, no envelopes, no curtains, and no expectation whatsoever that a person might pass an evening unobserved. Privacy was not stolen from our ancestors. It was built, slowly and expensively, out of chimneys, plaster, cheap glass, sealing wax, and a set of manners that taught people to pretend they had not heard.

Dos vigilants, aïllats en l’aparcament d’un edifici de luxe, esperen l’arribada del seu relleu i de les provisions que els mantenen amb vida. Tenen prohibit comunicar-se amb els residents, i la situació s’agreuja quan observen com tots, excepte un, abandonen l’edifici el mateix dia. La suposició que al món exterior hagi esclatat una catàstrofe, la falta de provisions i la possibilitat que tot sigui una prova per a aconseguir un ascens els portaran al límit de la seva resistència.
