Antes de que existieran Bitcoin, los mercados libres digitales o la conversación global sobre soberanía tecnológica, Una posada para caminantes anticipó —con una precisión sorprendente— la aparición de redes paralelas fuera del alcance de los gobiernos tradicionales. En esta novela provocadora, Paul Rosenberg entrelaza ciencia, filosofía, criptografía y política para seguir a un puñado de personajes —científicos, hackers, periodistas, inversores— que se apartan de las instituciones del mundo oficial y comienzan a construir el suyo propio. Lo que descubren no es solo una nueva forma de pensar, sino una nueva forma de existir: libre, voluntaria y cifrada. A medio camino entre el relato de ideas y la advertencia visionaria, esta obra funciona como un tratado encubierto sobre soberanía individual, mercados libres y resistencia pacífica al poder centralizado.

This classic guide offers clear, concise instruction in the basics as well as the finer points of pencil drawing. Appropriate for beginning and intermediate students, it features sixty-six well-chosen illustrations that encompass a wide range of subjects — mainly architectural, but also people, animals, and landscapes — and demonstrate a tremendous variety of techniques. An architect, painter, art director, and teacher, Arthur L. Guptill wrote several popular books on drawing. He begins this two-part treatment, aimed at architects, artists, and students, with discussions of drawing objects in outline and in light and shade, the principles of freehand perspective, methods of cast and life drawing, and sketching animals. The second part examines the choice of subjects and drawing in outline and in flat and graded tones. The important subject of composition receives considerable attention, with particular focus on unity and balance. Additional topics include working from photographs and from nature, the representation of buildings — including exteriors, interiors, and street scenes — and portraying details and accessories, from furniture, draperies, doors, and windows to clouds, water, and trees.

Called by H. L. Mencken, one of the few economists in history who could really write, Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work. In it, he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes, and recession. Covering considerable ground, Hazlitt illustrates the destructive effects of taxes, rent and price controls, inflation, trade restrictions, and minimum-wage laws. He also writes about key classical liberal thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Herbert Spencer.
