Cheeky and clever, and often darkly subversive, these poems are vintage Silverstein. His poems are humorously seditious, full of rhyme, rhythm, and energetic word play. Silverstein's pen-and-ink drawings extend and explain the words, making them the perfect accompaniment.La risa viene andando en verso, esta poesía es un ramillete de travesuras, de ideas ingeniosas, y de ocurrencias graciosas. Cada poema es un alarde agudo y ocurrente que se convierte en motivo de broma. Silverstein ha unido el talento literario y la capacidad para crear sutiles ilustraciones humorísticas que forman parte de los poemas, que son una estrofa más, y que dan la clave de cómo se ha de leer el libro.

Presenting economics as the underlying connection between seemingly unrelated events or phenomena, this international bestseller establishes a new way of looking at the world. The authors explain the hidden side of everything, from violent crime, parenting, and baby names to the Ku Klux Klan and real estate, demonstrating how economics isn't just about numbers, but a study of incentives—how people get what they need and want when others need and want the same thing. Comprobando que el estudio de la economía puede explicar como se relacionan fenómenos distintos, este bestseller internacional establece una nueva manera de ver al mundo. Los autores explican el lado escondido de todo, desde crímenes violentos y nombres de bebes hasta el Ku Klux Klan y bienes raíces, demostrando que el estudio de la economía es un estudio de los incentivos: el modo en que las personas obtienen lo que desean o necesitan, especialmente cuando otras personas desean o necesitan lo mismo.

Though ostensibly written for children, this heroic and heart-wrenching His Dark Materials trilogy is beloved by readers of all ages.

Lyra, Pantalaimon, Will, and the rest embark on the most breathtaking, heartbreaking adventure of their lives. The fate of the universe is in their hands.Lyra and Will tumble separately into the strange tropical otherworld of Cittàgazze, where adults are curiously absent and children run wild. Their journey is plagued with obstacles, some familiar and some horribly new, but it eventually brings them closer to Will's father and to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds.

When Tim moves to his grandparent's village, everything seems mysterious. Why are there no flowers anywhere? Who is the weeping woman wandering through the midnight streets? And what is the secret of the empty house on Falling Star Hill? The mystery deepens when Tim meets Sarre, a girl from another world. She leads Tim to the place she comes from—a magical, old-fashioned land connected to his own by falling stars, where flowers are guarded like treasures. Yet Tim soon discovers that it is much more complicated to return from that world than it is to enter it, and he must struggle through challenges and adventures in order to find the portal that can bring him home to his family.
