› Find signed collectible books: 'The Children of Men'
Told with P. D. James's trademark suspense, insightful characterization, and riveting storytelling, The Children of Men is a story of a world with no children and no future. The human race has become infertile, and the last generation to be born is now adult. Civilization itself is crumbling as suicide and despair become commonplace. Oxford historian Theodore Faron, apathetic toward a future without a future, spends most of his time reminiscing. Then he is approached by Julian, a bright, attractive woman who wants him to help get her an audience with his cousin, the powerful Warden of England. She and her band of unlikely revolutionaries may just awaken his desire to live . . . and they may also hold the key to survival for the human race. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Dream of Scipio'
Like his elegant debut, An Instance of the Fingerpost, Iain Pears's The Dream of Scipio is an inventive, gloriously detailed historical novel told from multiple viewpoints. But Pears has set himself an additional challenge by spreading his narrators over several centuries: there's the fifth century French nobleman and bishop, Manlius, a civilized man who has embraced the uncouth Christian faith in order to protect what he holds dear; an 11th-century scholar and troubadour named Olivier de Noyen, the famously ill-fated admirer of a married girl; and Julien Barneuve, an early 20th-century scholar of de Noyen who discovers, through him, a magnificent manuscript of Manlius's called "The Dream of Scipio." Though all three men come from the same small Provençal town, it is this manuscript, derived from the teachings of a wise woman, that links the three narrative threads of Pears's story. At the heart of The Dream of Scipio and, one suspects, at the heart of its author, is the conflict between a classical ideal of learning and the contemplation of beauty, and the noisy, uncivilized, democratizing impulses of the Christian era. A novel of ideas like its predecessor, The Dream of Scipio is neither chilly nor didactic and doesn't shy away from depicting the costs of its narrators' unpopular devotions. --Regina Marler [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Estado De Miedo / State of Fear'
Estado de miedo es una novela de denuncia que ya está causando mucha polémica en EEUU e Inglaterra. Michael Crichton dedicó tres años a la investigación de los datos y cifras que nos facilitan los investigadores científicos sobre el calentamiento global de la tierra, lo que llamamos el efecto invernadero. Cuestiona y descarta muchos de ellos. Según Crichton no hay pruebas claras de calentamiento global. Afirma que hay organizaciones que manipulan datos para probar lo que a ellos les interesa. Además hay personas dispuestas a convertirse en activistas, en ecoterroristas, incluso a provocar catástrofes para publicitar su causa y "confirmar" sus predicciones.
La novela es un thriller poderoso, convincente, fascinante y muy ágil. La historia es ficción pura pero lo que hay detrás es todo verdadero.
Para apoyar su tesis incluye al final del libro apéndices y una bibliografía amplísima que demuestran la seriedad y profundidad de la investigación. [via]
