Описание: Websites and apps are places where critical parts of our lives happen. We shop, bank, learn, gossip, and select our leaders there. But many of these places weren't intended to support these activities. Instead, they're designed to capture your attention and sell it to the highest bidder. Living in Information draws upon architecture as a way to design information environments that serve our humanity.

Описание: A literary crime thriller with a clever plot that always surprises, told with dark humor and dry wit ("The New York Times Book Review, "Editor s Choice), this brilliant debut follows a famous author whose wife the brains behind his success meets an untimely death, leaving him to deal with the consequences. Henry Hayden seems like someone you might admire, or even come to think of as a friend. A famous bestselling author. A loving and devoted husband. A generous and considerate neighbor. But Henry Hayden is a construction, a mask. His past is a secret, his methods more so. Only he and his wife know that she is the actual writer of the novels that made him famous. When his hidden-in-plain-sight mistress becomes pregnant, it seems his carefully conceived facade is about to crumble. And on a rain-soaked night at the edge of a dangerous cliff, his permanent solution becomes his most terrible mistake. Now not only are the police after Henry but his past which he has painstakingly kept hidden threatens to catch up with him as well. Henry is an ingenious man, and he works out an ingenious plan, weaving lies, truths, and half-truths into a story that might help him survive. Still, the noose tightens. Smart, sardonic, and compulsively readable, this is the story of a man whose cunning allows him to evade the consequences of his every action, even when he s standing on the edge of the abyss."

Описание: Poco se sabe de la vida y milagros de Wenceslao Triana. Es casi imposible encontrar una persona con quien haya tenido encuentros directos. Siempre rechaz con diplomacia las invitaciones que le hac an. Al parecer nadie lleg a saber exactamente c mo era o d nde viv a. Un d a del a o 2003, sus escritos -su nica presencia en este mundo- desaparecieron de la misma manera callada como diez a os atr s hab an empezado a publicarse en la secci n editorial del diario El Universal, de Cartagena de Indias. La nica imagen suya que nos queda es el dibujo pensativo que acompa siempre sus notas semanales. Wenceslao Triana nos ofrece una mirada singular a los hechos que marcaron la transici n al nuevo milenio. Muchas de sus columnas cumplen al mismo tiempo con las funciones b sicas del periodismo de opini n y del ensayo literario. Esa doble perspectiva es el rasgo que explica su vigencia tiempo despu s de ocurridos los hechos que la inspiraron. Podr a decirse que es una l stima tener poca informaci n sobre el autor de los textos aqu reunidos. Pero apenas empieza su lectura se descubre que all est Wenceslao. Cada vez que alguien se acerque a conocer sus opiniones volver a darle vida a ese anciano juvenil y enamorado que lleg y se march , a la manera de Fray Luis, sin hacer mucho ru do .

Описание:
After twelve-year-old JJ Bennett lands at the airport in Berlin, he's sure something is wrong. His secret organization of kid spies, the K-CIA, hasn't had to deal with any problems in a while. When his fellow agent and best friend Maggie convinces him they should relax and go to the movies with their new friend William, JJ finally decides he's been stressing for nothing and everything is fine.
He is wrong.
The trio is kidnapped by the evil Russian spy group, the P-KGB, and JJ discovers the Russians are in town looking for something hidden in the city, something they claim could throw the entire world into chaos. Determined to keep the enemy from succeeding, the kids escape and attempt to figure out the location of the mysterious hidden item. But as the search takes them to sites all around Berlin, they soon discover that the missing object is far more dangerous than they originally thought. With the Russians closing in on them, the three friends must unravel a series of clues to keep the P-KGB spies from completing their mission--the assassination of the world's most powerful leaders.
