La economía de Estados Unidos se encuentra en ruinas. Las empresas cierran, en las tiendas es imposible encontrar los productos básicos y la población empieza a perder la esperanza en recuperar la prosperidad y la autonomía. La respuesta del gobierno es aumentar cada vez más las regulaciones, el control de cualquier actividad y el colectivismo. La rebelión de Atlas es una novela de misterio, pero, como dijo Ayn Rand, «no sobre el asesinato del cuerpo de un hombre, sino sobre el asesinato ―y el renacimiento― del espíritu humano». Es la historia de un hombre que dice que parará el motor del mundo, y lo hace. ¿Es ese hombre un des-tructor malévolo o el mayor de los libertadores? ¿Por qué tiene que luchar, no contra sus enemigos, sino contra aquellos que más le necesitan, incluso contra la heroína a quien ama? Obra cumbre de la gran defensora de la razón y de la libertad individual frente a los excesos del Estado y su mentalidad autoritaria, en ella, Rand expone cómo el declive de la competencia entre las grandes empresas, la desmoralización entre quienes deberían liderar la actividad económica y creativa y la inercia del ciudadano común conducen a la pobreza moral y material. Mezcla de thriller de acción en las altas esferas y de reflexión filosófica sobre el Estado y el individuo, La rebelión de Atlas resume la filosofía de Ayn Rand en una historia que integra de forma magistral cuestiones relacionadas con la ética, la metafísica, la epistemología, la política, la economía y el sexo. Si quieres leer un único libro y entender la visión del mundo de Rand, éste es el libro.
La calidad de tu vida depende en gran medida de la calidad de tu mente. Por desgracia, dedicamos poco tiempo a mejorar la calidad de nuestros pensamientos, y no es algo que se enseñe en el colegio. En consecuencia, pasamos la vida sin entender realmente cómo usar nuestra mente. Tenemos en nuestra cabeza el órgano más sofisticado del universo, pero desconocemos su funcionamiento. La mayoría de personas son incapaces de dirigir su poder mental hacia los objetivos que ansían de verdad. Se distraen y se frustran. Son incapaces de vencer la tentación y de perseverar ante la adversidad. Finalmente abandonan. Por suerte, la mentalidad se puede entrenar, y es precisamente lo que este programa te enseñará. Aprenderás a pensar con claridad, a actuar con determinación y a resistir con disciplina. Cualquier cambio externo requiere primero un cambio interno. Si quieres transformar tu cuerpo, debes empezar por dentro. Una mente débil nunca creará un cuerpo fuerte. El programa Invicto te ayudará a usar tu mente para mejorar tu cuerpo, pero va en realidad mucho más lejos. No es una simple guía para optimizar los hábitos de cada día, sino que pretende orientar tu propia filosofía de vida. Las herramientas que desarrollarás te ayudarán con cualquier cosa que quieras lograr. La vida siempre es más sencilla con claridad, determinación y disciplina.Invicto combina filosofía estoica con psicología moderna para ayudarte a enfrentar tus problemas y vivir según tus propias reglas. El estoicismo se ha convertido en la filosofía más popular entre atletas y emprendedores, y en este libro entenderás los motivos.Nota: Esta versión de invicto incluye únicamente el libro, no el cuaderno de trabajo. El cuaderno está disponible en fitnessrevolucionario.com/cuadernoinvicto
Primer volumen de la serie Mundodisco de Terry Pratchett. En un mundo plano sostenido por cuatro elefantes impasibles -que se apoyan en la espalda de una tortuga gigante- habitan los estrafalarios personajes de esta novela: un hechicero avaro y torpe, un turista ingenuo cuyo fiero equipaje le sigue a todas partes sostenido por cientos de patitas, dragones que solo existen si se cree en ellos, gremios de ladrones y asesinos, espadas mágicas, la Muerte y, por supuesto, un extenso catálogo de magos y demonios... En esta serie de novelas se dan cita todos los temas y situaciones del género fantástico, vistos a través del personalísimo y corrosivo sentido de la comicidad de un autor inglés que se ha convertido en uno de los escritores de humor de mayor éxito y fama en el mundo. La crítica ha dicho... «Un consejo. Id a vuestra librería de confianza, pedid un libro de Terry Pratchett y abríos una nueva puerta que os llevará a un mundo de carcajadas, de ironía, de frases lapidarias, de intrigas y de amores. ¡Bienvenidos al Mundodisco!» El País «Brillante, ingenioso e hilarante.» Washington Post

In this "provocative" book (New York Times), a contrarian physicist argues that her field's modern obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science. Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll Douglas Hofstadter's book is concerned directly with the nature of “maps” or links between formal systems. However, according to Hofstadter, the formal system that underlies all mental activity transcends the system that supports it. If life can grow out of the formal chemical substrate of the cell, if consciousness can emerge out of a formal system of firing neurons, then so too will computers attain human intelligence. Gödel, Escher, Bach is a wonderful exploration of fascinating ideas at the heart of cognitive science: meaning, reduction, recursion, and much more.

You might ask, "Why Do Some Ethiopian Bibles Have More Than 88 Books?" Great question! The Ethiopian Bible is NOT changing. Other publishers keep adding books for marketing purposes--to "one-up" their competition. Rest assured, this edition stays true to the 88 authentic books as preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. You might also ask, "Why Do ALL the Ethiopian Bibles Available On Amazon Have Such Small Print?" Unfortunately, Amazon has printing limits on their pages, and long books like the Ethiopian Bible would not fit if the book were in 12-point font, as it would exceed the page allowance. The font has been made as large as possible, given these restrictions. Whether you're a scholar, seeker, or curious reader, this devoted edition will enrich your faith-filled journey.
