Se prometió que Bitcoin, BTC, sería una tecnología liberadora, una alternativa de libre mercado al dinero controlado por el estado. Pero esa promesa se rompió cuando un pequeño grupo de individuos con información privilegiada se hiciera cargo del proyecto y cambiara fundamentalmente su diseño. La verdadera historia de BTC y su diseño original la conocen muy pocas personas debido a años de fuerte censura, ingeniería de redes sociales y estrictos controles de información. La realidad es que BTC ha sido secuestrado y cambiado para peor. Esa es la conclusión innegable de El secuestro de Bitcoin, un libro repleto de historia y verdades incómodas, que descarga una andanada desmitificadora contra las narrativas más populares que rodean a BTC. Roger Ver es el primer inversor del mundo en empresas emergentes de BTC y ha sido un nombre destacado en la industria de las criptomonedas desde su inicio. Sin embargo, como confiesa en la introducción, este libro no es una historia de amor. Es la exposición devastadora de la corrupción, la propaganda y la centralización del poder en BTC.

Over and over, U.S. government officials and their mainstream media allies called Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine an “unprovoked attack.” The slogan became so overused that people began to ask the obvious question: Why do they protest so much? In Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, Scott Horton explains how since the end of the last Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union, successive U.S. administrations pressed their advantage against the new Russian Federation to the point that it finally blew up into a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. From NATO expansion into Eastern Europe, to “shock therapy” economic policy, the Balkan and Chechen wars, color-coded revolutions, new missile defense systems, assassinations, Russiagate and ultimately the brutal conflict in Ukraine, Provoked shows what really happened and why it did not have to be this way.

Not every “Complete Ethiopian Bible in English” is what it claims to be. As new editions flood the market—some presenting unverified or AI-generated translations as authentic Ethiopian Scripture—the Ultimate Ethiopian Bible offers something different: a carefully researched, modern-English collection rooted in the genuine scriptural tradition of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Because the Ethiopian Bible was never formally fixed by a single, universally binding canon decree, claims of one definitive “complete” canon can be misleading. This massive edition brings together 88 complete, unabridged books in print, including the Holy Bible, authentic Ethiopian Meqabyan, Enoch, and other apocrypha, while clearly expanding beyond the Ethiopian tradition with Acts 29 and 2 and 3 Enoch. Plus, access thousands of additional books of apocrypha, hundreds of videos, and hundreds of hours of audiobooks in the included digital library. The Ultimate Ethiopian Bible includes: * 88 books in print, including the complete Old and New Testaments, whereas most other collections include only 22 apocryphal books in print * Literally thousands of apocryphal books via digital access, vastly exceeding all other collections * Superior 10-pt print, comparable to most study Bibles, that is professionally typeset, whereas other collections use tiny, hard-to-read font with unprofessional typesetting * In easy-to-read English with accurate and consistent formal equivalent translation throughout, whereas other collections use archaic public domain material that is mismatched, incomplete, and unprofessionally sourced * Hundreds of professionally-collated videos that you can access with your mobile device while you read * Hundreds of hours of audio via the Ultimate Ethiopian Bible audiobook included with the digital library * Includes the only fully revised and updated modern English versions of 1, 2, and 3 Meqabyan, Enoch, and others (books unique to the Ethiopian canon), that are either excluded from other collections or included in non-standard English; also includes digital versions of Jubilees, Josippon, and the Paralipomena of Jeremiah * Tons of exciting extras including charts, maps, apologetics, book intros, a glossary, and much more There are now dozens of Ethiopian Bible options available, but how can you choose the right one? Look no further. With the Ultimate Ethiopian Bible in English, you get the complete Old Testament, New Testament, and 22 additional books in print, including all three of the genuine books of Meqabyan and all three books of Enoch, whereas many other options give you only 22 apocryphal books in print and everything else via digital download.

La importancia del legado español frente a las atrocidades cometidas por los enemigos de España En este excepcional libro, Marcelo Gullo Omodeo demuestra que, en el «Tribunal de la Historia», España ha sido juzgada por jueces parciales con testigos falsos. Y asevera: Que América, antes de 1492, se asemejaba más al infierno que al paraíso, pues reinaban en el Nuevo Mundo los sacrificios humanos, el canibalismo, la esclavitud, el machismo y la prostitución. Que Bartolomé de las Casas fue un mercenario disfrazado de sacerdote. Que durante cuatro siglos, Gran Bretaña, Holanda, Estados Unidos, Francia y Alemania ―sin ninguna autoridad moral― le han exigido a España que pida perdón por los supuestos pecados cometidos durante la conquista de América, cuando, en realidad, son esas naciones las que deberían hacerlo porque sus manos están manchadas de sangre. Que España no tiene nada por lo que pedir perdón porque la conquista de América fue uno de los mayores intentos que el mundo haya visto por hacer prevalecer la justicia y los valores cristianos en una época brutal y sanguinaria. Que ese intento exitoso convirtió a España en una excepción en la historia de la humanidad porque ni antes ni después una nación se comportó de esa manera. Y que precisamente por eso mismo cuando el papa Francisco era el padre Jorge consideraba que no había nada por lo que pedir perdón.

The most precise and authoritative translation of one of the founding works of Western culture, in an edition supported by helpful, effective notes The Nicomachean Ethics is one of Aristotle’s most widely read and influential works. Ideas central to ethics—that happiness is the end of human endeavor, that moral virtue is formed through action and habituation, and that good action requires prudence—found their most powerful proponent in the person medieval scholars simply called “the Philosopher.” Drawing on their intimate knowledge of Aristotle’s thought, Robert C. Bartlett and Susan D. Collins have produced here an English-language translation of the Ethics that is as remarkably faithful to the original as it is graceful in its rendering. Aristotle is well known for the precision with which he chooses his words, and in this elegant translation his work has found its ideal match. Bartlett and Collins provide copious notes and a glossary providing context and further explanation for students, as well as an introduction and a substantial interpretive essay that sketch central arguments of the work and the seminal place of Aristotle’s Ethics in his political philosophy as a whole. The Nicomachean Ethics has engaged the serious interest of readers across centuries and civilizations—of peoples ancient, medieval, and modern; pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish—and this new edition will take its place as the standard English-language translation.

The third entry into the New York Times bestselling series, To Challenge Heaven brings another thrilling adventure from the masters of military science fiction, David Weber and Chris Kennedy. In a universe teeming with predators, humanity needs friends. And fast. We've come a long way in the forty years since the Shongairi attacked Earth, killed half its people, and then were driven away by an alliance of humans with the other sentient bipeds who inhabit our planet. We took the technology they left behind, and rapidly built ourselves into a starfaring civilization. Because we haven't got a moment to lose. Because it's clear that there are even more powerful, more hostile aliens out there, and Earth needs allies. But it also transpires that the Shongairi expedition that nearly destroyed our home planet ... wasn't an official one. That, indeed, its commander may have been acting as an unwitting cats-paw for the Founders, the ancient alliance of very old, very evil aliens who run the Hegemony that dominates our galaxy, and who hold the Shongairi, as they hold most non-Founder species, in not-so-benign contempt. Indeed, it may turn out to be possible to turn the Shongairi into our allies against the Hegemony. There's just the small matter of the Shongairi honor code, which makes bushido look like a child's game. We might be able to make them our friends -- if we can crush their planetary defenses in the greatest battle we, or they, have ever seen...
