La ciudad de las pasiones terribles

Autor: Judith R. Walkowitz

Número de Páginas: 532

La autora sitúa en el Londres de finales del siglo XIX el momento crucial en el que se construye la “política sexual feminista” y las narraciones sobre “peligro sexual”. Fue algo inseparable de las representaciones de la ciudad, de la aparición de las normas modernas sobre sexo y relaciones sexuales y de los poderosos discursos de la ley, la ciencia y la medicina. La fascinación de esta obra reside tanto en lo espectacular del escenario y los argumentos de Walkowitz como en la minuciosidad de su pensamiento histórico.

La revoluci¢n de la econom¡a colaborativa

Autor: Jacques Bulchand , Santiago Melián

Número de Páginas: 144

Uno de los sectores que más rápidamente está creciendo en todo el mundo es el de la economía colaborativa. Un nicho de mercado que gracias a internet y a las nuevas formas de consumo ha logrado un éxito sin precedentes. ¿La clave? Dar con una idea tan simple como eficaz: ofrecer diferentes formas de intercambio de bienes o servicios en distintas plataformas digitales. Solo por poner un ejemplo, en estos momentos el portal Airbnb comercializa más habitaciones y tiene más pernoctaciones y presencia en países, destinos y ciudades que cualquier cadena hotelera en el mundo, aun habiendo sido fundado en 2008. A pesar del origen común de los distintos modelos que conviven en la economía colaborativa, es difícil definir una forma única de intercambio, ya que son diversas las maneras y los fines a la hora de compartir estos bienes, servicios o contenidos. Justo para eso nace este libro. Para definirlas y aclararlas. De la mano de Jacques Bulchand y Santiago Melián, dos grandes expertos del sector y profesores de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, se dan las respuestas a las preguntas que cualquiera podemos hacernos. «Con este texto queremos que quien dude si tiene ...

From a New York Times–bestselling author: A widowed father finds an unexpected romance when his two tenacious daughters unite him with their new nanny. Jordan Long has serious issues with the attractive young live-in nanny his aunt hired while he was away on business. He specifically requested a more experienced, matronly woman to take care of his two young daughters, and Kathleen Darrow is an unwanted sexy distraction. She has to go. After three years working as a nurse, Kathleen was ready for a change, and she was thrilled to take the governess job at Long’s magnificent home near Delaware Bay. Soon after meeting little Annette and Marsha, she begins to hate the idea of being separated from them—and from their charismatic father with his powerful air of self-confidence and darkly handsome features.

It’s public knowledge in Richmond that the only wife the infamous Cyrus Fortune wants is one who belongs to some other man. He has a knack for sensing an unhappy bride—and a talent for showing her what she needs to be happy. Obsessed with uncovering the circumstances of his own mysterious birth and the father he never knew, Cyrus doesn’t have the time or patience for a serious romance. Even so, an intelligent man knows when he’s at the crossroads of destiny, the moment when everything in his life changes. For Cyrus, that’s when he meets Julia Drummond. Julia Drummond is painfully aware that no red-blooded woman should be able to deny the sensual assault of Cyrus Fortune, who wears power and influence like a finely tailored suit, and whose eyes promise passionate seduction. Still, she says no. She’s got her reasons—dangerous reasons—and yet she can’t trust her own body and heart from surrendering to the astonishing pleasure Cyrus reminds her she’s capable of simply when his knowing gaze meets hers...
