A new understanding of memory is emerging from the latest scientific research. In Why We Remember, pioneering neuroscientist and psychologist Charan Ranganath radically reframes the way we think about the everyday act of remembering. Combining accessible language with cutting-edge research, he reveals the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present, and to imagine and plan for the future. Memory, Dr. Ranganath shows, is a highly transformative force that shapes how we experience the world in often invisible and sometimes destructive ways. Knowing this can help us with daily remembering tasks, like finding our keys, and with the challenge of memory loss as we age. What’s more, when we work with the brain’s ability to learn and reinterpret past events, we can heal trauma, shed our biases, learn faster, and grow in self-awareness.

Brujas célebres. Justo cuando Juana de Arco, la milagrosa heroína que salvó Francia, estaba a punto de ser quemada tras haber sido condenada a morir en la hoguera, es enviada a otro mundo. Y allí donde va a parar, se encuentra con 32 valientes mujeres a las que llaman “brujas”, que han dejado su nombre grabado en la historia para la posteridad. Cuando todas esas “brujas” están reunidas, se anuncia el comienzo del Walpurgis: Las mil noches de sanguinaria batalla entre brujas, en el que todas deben matarse entre ellas poniendo en juego sus propias “codicias”.

Unas brujas muy especiales. Justo cuando Juana de Arco, la milagrosa heroína que salvó Francia, estaba a punto de ser quemada tras haber sido condenada a morir en la hoguera, es enviada a otro mundo. Y allí donde va a parar, se encuentra con 32 valientes mujeres a las que llaman “brujas”, que han dejado su nombre grabado en la historia para la posteridad. Cuando todas esas “brujas” están reunidas, se anuncia el comienzo del Walpurgis: Las mil noches de sanguinaria batalla entre brujas, en el que todas deben matarse entre ellas poniendo en juego sus propias “codicias”.

Una lucha entre heroínas históricas. ¡¡Llega la conclusión del segundo combate de la primera ronda del Walpurgis: Las mil noches de sanguinaria batalla entre brujas, entre Wu Zetian y Juana de Arco!! ¿¡En qué consistirá la magia de Juana de Arco, la bruja de la “nada”, que ni tan siquiera conoce cuál es su propia “codicia”!? ¡¡Y además, da comienzo el tercer combate, ese en el que se enfrentan dos de las favoritas: Himiko VS Cleopatra!!

Political upheaval and social turmoil have peeled back the glitzy layers of capitalism to reveal an uncomfortable truth: historically, businesses have sourced materials from remote corners of the globe and moved millions of people and tons of cargo around the clock—all in the name of profit. Yet many of today’s startups are rewriting the rules of business: how it’s done, by whom, and, most importantly, for what purpose. Journalist Esha Chhabra draws on her decades of reporting to explore not only the “feel good, do good” factors of these restorative enterprises but also the nuanced realities and promise of regenerative business operations.

Spencer Brooke always knew she was destined to be CEO of her grandfather’s business—the most respected and luxurious department store in New York City. Brooke’s has been at the center of every happy memory she has, but it hasn’t been an easy journey. Seven years after her father’s death, her life is very different from the days when she walked through the store with her grandfather as a young girl. She may be the owner of Brooke’s, but she’s also now a divorced single mother of twin boys. And with the ever-evolving landscape of the fashion industry comes new challenges for Spencer and the legacy she’s inherited. Mike Weston is known for making enormous profits by transforming small businesses into bigger, more successful ones. With his marriage at a breaking point and his children grown up, investing is where he thrives—where he can build something greater. And Brooke’s feels like the perfect opportunity. Yet the firm’s beautiful and savvy CEO turns down the offer before they even meet. Spencer has no interest in outside investors meddling in her family business; her grandfather never saw the need for them, and neither does she. She refuses to be tempted by Mike’s offer, despite her big dreams of expanding the store. But when bad luck strikes, suddenly she is backed into a corner. In Worthy Opponents, Danielle Steel crafts a thrilling story about a powerful woman—and her equally formidable opponent.
