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

La historia real de un psiquiatra, su joven paciente y la terapia de regresión que cambió sus vidas para siempre. Un punto de encuentro entre ciencia y metafísica. El doctor Brian Weiss, jefe de psiquiatría del hospital Mount Sinai de Miami, relata en éste, su primer libro, una asombrosa experiencia que cambió por completo su propia vida y su visión de la psicoterapia. Una de sus pacientes, Catherine, recordó bajo hipnosis varias de sus vidas pasadas y pudo encontrar en ellas el origen de muchos de los traumas que sufría. Catherine se curó, pero ocurrió algo todavía más importante: logró ponerse en contacto con los Maestros, espíritus superiores que habitan los estados entre dos vidas. Ellos le comunicaron importantes mensajes de sabiduría y de conocimiento. Este relato, profundamente conmovedor, punto de encuentro entre ciencia y metafísica, constituyó un extraordinario best seller y sigue siendo de obligada lectura en un mundo convulsionado, en especial para los que buscan un sentido espiritual. Los mejores comentarios de los lectores sobre Muchas vidas, muchos maestros: «Impactante. Un libro que te obliga a realizar pausas de vez en cuando para asimilar y procesar las experiencias que relata. Tiene la credibilidad de una eminencia en psiquiatría y se asemeja en ocasiones al Libro Tibetano de los muertos pero bajo mi opinión hay aceptar esta información y cogerlo con pinzas ya que ningún hombre a lo largo de la humanidad murióy volvió para contarnos lo que hay en el más allá.» «Interesante lectura incluso para escépticos. He disfrutado su lectura, a pesar de ser muy escéptico sobre estas cuestiones. Habituado a lectura científica, sentía una sana curiosidad por este libro. Quería descubrir si se trataba de una farsa o tenía visos de seriedad y, tras su lectura, no puedo sino recomendarlo. Se puede creer o no lo que en él se describe, eso es cuestión de cada uno, pero sin duda merece la pena su conocimiento.» «Un libro increíblemente interesante. Libro muy fácil de leer y de tremendo impacto. Las cosas que hablan y los temas que abordan deberían ser aprendidos en el colegio. Todo ser humano debería leer este libro y respetar las teorías que mencionan en el. Brian Weiss es sin lugar a dudas un psiquiatra de prestigio que se atreve a abordar temas muy estigmatizados en nuestra época y sociedad actual.»

Have you, like the rest of the world, speculated as to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, anonymous creator of Bitcoin? The world's first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin went online in 2009 and has since revolutionized our concepts of currency and money. Not supported by any government or central bank, completely electronic, Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on advanced cryptographic systems. Like the currency he created, the identity of Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto is virtual, existing only online. The Nakamoto persona, which may represent an individual or a group, exists only in the online publications that introduced and explained Bitcoin during its earliest days. Here, collected and professionally published for the first time are the essential writings that detail Bitcoin's creation. Included are • Satoshi Nakamoto Emails and Posts on Computer Forums Presented in Chronological Order • Bitcoin Fundamentals Presented in Layman's Terms • Bitcoin's Potential and Profound Economic Implications • The Seminal Paper Which Started It All The Book of Satoshi provides a convenient way to parse through what Bitcoin's creator wrote over the span of the two years that constituted his "public life" before he disappeared from the Internet . . . at least under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Beginning on November 1st 2009 with the publication of the seminal paper describing Bitcoin, this public life ends at about the time PC World speculated as to a possible link between Bitcoin and WikiLeaks, the infamous website that publishes leaked classified materials. Was there a connection? You be the judge. Nakamoto's true identity may never be known. Therefore the writings reproduced here are probably all the world will ever hear from him concerning Bitcoin's creation, workings, and theoretical basis. Want to learn more about Bitcoin? Go directly to the source-the writings of the creator himself, Satoshi Nakamoto!

Bitcoin was promised to be a liberating technology, a free market alternative to state-controlled money. But that promise was broken after a small group of insiders took over the project and fundamentally changed Bitcoin's design. Few people know the true history of Bitcoin and its original design due to years of heavy censorship, social media engineering, and tight information controls online. Hijacking Bitcoin destroys the most popular narratives that surround Bitcoin and sets the historical record straight. Roger Ver's passion and pain come through as he tells the story of a beloved project corrupted in front of his eyes. Written by one of the most prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry, this book is impossible to ignore. From the inside flap: Bitcoin has been captured and changed for the worse. That's the undeniable conclusion of Hijacking Bitcoin. Chocked full of history and inconvenient truths, this book goes on a myth-busting rampage against the most popular narratives that surround BTC. Is Bitcoin truly decentralized? Is it supposed to be digital gold or digital cash? Did the original design really have scaling problems? Roger Ver addresses these questions head-on and provides uncomfortable answers. Roger Ver is the world's first investor in Bitcoin startups and has been a prominent name in the cryptocurrency industry since the beginning. Yet, as he confesses in the introduction, this book is not a love story. It's a devastating exposé of the corruption, propaganda, and centralization of power in Bitcoin.

Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Who is John Galt? When he says that he will stop the motor of the world, is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battles not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? You will know the answer to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this book. You will discover why a productive genius becomes a worthless playboy...why a great steel industrialist is working for his own destruction...why a composer gives up his career on the night of his triumph...why a beautiful woman who runs a transcontinental railroad falls in love with the man she has sworn to kill. Atlas Shrugged, a modern classic and Rand’s most extensive statement of Objectivism—her groundbreaking philosophy—offers the reader the spectacle of human greatness, depicted with all the poetry and power of one of the twentieth century’s leading artists.

And through real stories of traders from around the world who have successfully used Tendler’s system, you’ll learn how to tackle your problems, improve your day-to-day performance, and increase your profits.Whether you’re an independent or institutional trader, and regardless of whether you trade equities, forex, or cryptocurrencies, you can use this system to improve your decision-making and execution.

Praised by reviewers and practicing TCP/IP programmers alike, the TCP/IP Illustrated series examines the many facets of the TCP/IP protocol suite using a unique and highly-effective visual approach that describes the inner workings of TCP/IP with detail, insight, and clarity. Volume 3 provides detailed coverage of four essential topics with which today's TCP/IP programmers and network administrators must be thoroughly familiar: *T/TCP (TCP for Transactions), an extension to TCP that makes client-server transactions faster, more efficient, and more reliable; *HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the foundation for the rapidly expanding World Wide Web; *NNTP (the Network News Transfer Protocol), the basis for the Usenet news system; and *UNIX Domain Protocols, a set of protocols used heavily in UNIX implementations. As in the previous two volumes, the book is filled with examples and implementation details within the 4.4BSD-Lite networking code. The TCP/IP Illustrated series provides a complete picture of the protocol suite that drives the Internet, and gives programmers, system administrators, and serious users the information, understanding, and skills they need to remain at the forefront of networking technology. 0201634953B04062001

Finally, programmers that need to truly understand the TCP/IP protocol suite have a resource to turn to, TCP/IP Illustrated. Instead of merely describing the RFC's, bestselling author Rich Stevens takes an innovative "visual" approach which, combined with his writing style, results in an accessible "understandable" guide to TCP/IP.

In this wide-ranging collection of entertaining and thought-provoking essays, Isaac Morehouse shares his original, liberty-minded take on infomercials, Aristotelian ethics, squirrels, and why inflation is like an energy drink. There is, however, a central theme that runs through the whole collection and loosely ties the essays together. That theme is simple: freedom is better than force. Morehouse takes you on the journey of his own transition - from asking what works for society in the abstract to seeking what works for you as an individual. How can you become more free?
