The Piano Player in the Brothel
Journalism is in crisis. Thanks to freesheets, the proliferation of web-based and mobile media platforms and the growing norm of free content, the very future of the press is under threat, and the coming years may see the radical transformation or indeed the loss of some of the industry's greatest and longest-lived institutions. 'The Piano Player in the Brothel' (the book's title refers to the classic joke in which a father tells his son that anything is better than being a journalist...including being the piano player in a brothel) is a stunning reflection on the practice of journalism in general and especially in today's challenging climate. It includes a wealth of anecdotes on the history of journalism and its role as a great instrument of cultural diffusion, a guarantor of freedom of speech, and therefore, a protector of democracy. Timely, incisive and absorbing, 'The Piano Player in the Brothel is a fascinating exploration of an ever-changing and increasingly complex world as seen by an author of international renown.

La red
Cómo cambiarán nuestras vidas los nuevos medios de comunicación. Esta obra constituye un esfuerzo de divulgación sobre el significado e impacto en nuestras vidas de la llamada sociedad digital. Internet, la televisión temática vía satélite, las innovaciones en educación, medicina y economía, los nuevos medios de comunicación son algunos de los temas aquí tratados. Las consecuencias de su implantación acelerada se dejarán sentir en todos los ámbitos: las relaciones familiares, el comportamiento psicológico de las personas, la organización política, el mundo de los negocios y del comercio, nuestra manera de trabajar y de divertirnos, van a verse modificados sustancialmente. En un lenguaje asequible para los no iniciados, sin apearse del rigor científico, La red abre un debate fundamental: ¿estamos ante un cambio de civilización?
The Op-Ed Novel
The Op-Ed Novel follows a clutch of globally renowned Spanish novelists who swept into the political sphere via the pages of El País. Their literary sensibility transformed opinion journalism, and their weekly columns changed their novels, which became venues for speculative historical claims, partisan political projects, and intellectual argument.

Writers as Public Intellectuals
This book demonstrates how authors performing the role of a public intellectual discuss ideas and opinions regarding society while using literary strategies and devices in and beyond the text. Their assumed persona thereby reads the world as a book - interpreting it and offering alternative scenarios for understanding it.
Dirty War, Clean Hands
Spain's transition from the Franco dictatorship to a democratic state has been widely regarded as exemplary. However, as modern court proceedings have exposed, the first post-transition government, in attempting to destroy the Basque separatist group ETA, adopted the very policies of indiscriminate terror which characterised both the Franco regime and ETA's own strategy. In this narrative Woodworth disentangles a complex conspiracy through documentary evidence and first-hand interviews. He analyzes what happens when a democracy abandons the rule of law, showing how state terror has strengthened revolutionary terrorism and raising questions about post-Franco Spain.
