Del Objetivismo de Ayn Rand a los cómics de Steve Ditko
La controvertida novelista y filósofa Ayn Rand, profeta del individualismo y el emprendimiento norteamericano, y Steve Ditko, padre de Spider-Man y creativo de Marvel Comics en los años 60, comparten un vínculo inexplorado y sorprendente. Este trabajo aborda la relación entre la filosofía del Objetivismo y la novelística de Ayn Rand, con la obra gráfica de Steve Ditko. Los magazines de ciencia-ficción, los grandes éxitos de Hollywood y Broadway, las ciudades modernas con sus rascacielos de cristal y cemento, los cambios en la sociedad, el fortísimo choque generacional que distanció de sus padres a los jóvenes e inconformistas beatniks, el espectacular auge de la contracultura, todo ello queda recogido en este estudio, donde convergen todos los aspectos de una época que no puede sino cautivarnos. El estudio profundiza en las raíces del héroe norteamericano inspirado por el Objetivismo, penetrando en sus artefactos culturales y revelando las conexiones entre los iconos de mayor éxito comercial y las mentalidades vigentes en el siglo XXI.
La rebelión de Ayn Rand y Steve Ditko. Poder y Responsabilidad
Las raíces del héroe norteamericano inspirado por el Objetivismo, penetrando en sus artefactos culturales y revelando las conexiones entre los iconos de mayor éxito comercial y las mentalidades vigentes en el siglo XXI. Los magazines de ciencia-ficción, los grandes éxitos de Hollywood y Broadway, las ciudades modernas con sus rascacielos de cristal y cemento, los cambios en la sociedad, el fortísimo choque generacional que distanció de sus padres a los jóvenes e inconformistas beatniks, el espectacular auge de la contracultura, todo ello queda recogido en este trabajo, donde convergen todos los aspectos de una época que no puede sino cautivarnos. El heroísmo, según Rand, se define por el compromiso, la independencia, la emancipación de los valores ajenos, la determinación y combatividad, y por encima de todo, la libertad.
McClean Design
The first book on the architect's custom-built residences in California, tailor-made to the highest specification one could ask for. This collection of visionary residences takes us on a tour of the height in luxury, designed to accommodate all amenities available--from the indoor gym and hair salon to the movie theater, champagne vault and wine cellar, cigar room, and wellness room. California Living looks at McClean's rise to prominence, from his first Bird Streets home in the Hollywood Hills to houses that drew attention from the likes of fashion designer Calvin Klein and the record-setting Bel Air home of Beyoncé and Jay Z. In addition to incorporating water in all of his designs, he ma...
Vigo Waterfront
The reorganization of the waterfront of Vigo is the focal point of 'Open Vigo to the Sea', a large urban scheme that has allowed to eliminate the barrier of port structures that separated the city from the sea and to create new public spaces. A series of interventions designed by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra and developed along a two-kilometer stretch of the waterfront, between the Plaza de la Estrella and the Plaza del Berbés, were carried out between 1994 and 2004. For this work the author received in 2005 the Spanish National Architecture Award.
Raising the Roof
This timely book celebrates the inspirational achievements of women architects in every corner of the world.

Each architect is introduced in double-page spreads that include a brief biography, an overview of her philosophy and vision, and stunning photographs of her most significant works. Interviews with several of the architects provide a global perspective on how wo...

Historical Materialism
First published in English in 1926, this work by Nikolai Bukharin, a highly influential Marxist and Soviet Politician who would later become one of the most famous victims of Stalin’s show trials, expands upon Karl Marx’s theory of historical materialism. Offering a Marxist interpretation of sociology, this reissue is important not only from a sociological and economic perspective, but is also extremely valuable as a socio-historical document of contemporary thought in the Soviet Union in the years following the Bolshevik revolution.
