La intocable

Urdangarin
Con ritmo de thriller, Eduardo Inda y Esteban Urreiztieta, los periodistas de El Mundo que destaparon en 2006 la prehistoria del caso Urdangarin y en septiembre de 2011 la historia moderna, relatan con todo lujo de detalles el primer gran escándalo de corrupción de un miembro de la familia real española. De cómo un plebeyo guipuzcoano jugador de balonmano pasa a convertirse en hijo político del rey, diezmar las arcas públicas y acabar imputado por cinco delitos (malversación, prevaricación, falsedad, fraude y blanqueo de capitales). Urdangarin. Un conseguidor en la corte del rey Juan Carlos aporta grandes novedades: la bronca entre el príncipe de Asturias y el duque de Palma a cuenta del palacete de Barcelona, la reunión en La Zarzuela que disparó las acciones de Nóos, lo que piensa don Juan Carlos del asunto o cuál es la potencia de las «bombas atómicas» que el socio Diego Torres amenaza con hacer estallar en cualquier momento.
The Extinction Club
From Robert Twigger, the internationally acclaimed author of Angry White Pyjamas and Big Snake, comes The Extinction Club, the brilliant, peculiar, and complex tale of the Milu. For one thousand years, the Milu, an exotic species of deer with the neck of a camel, the horns of a stag, the feet of a cow, and the tail of a donkey, existed only in the Chinese emperor's private park in Beijing.

Democracy in Europe
This book calls for a philosophical consideration of the development, challenges and successes of the European Union. The author argues that conceptual innovation is essential if progress on the European project is to be made; new meanings, rather than financial or institutional engineering solutions, will help solve the crisis. By applying a philosophical approach to diagnosing the EU crisis, the book reconsiders the basic concepts of democracy in the context of the complex reality of the EU and the globalised world where profound social and political changes are taking place. It will be of interest to students and scholars interested in EU politics, political theory and philosophy.
