In Hitler's Munich: Jews, the Revolution, and the Rise of Nazism
In the aftermath of Germany's defeat in World War I and the failed November Revolution of 1918-19, the conservative government of Bavaria identified Jews with left-wing radicalism. Munich became a hotbed of right-wing extremism, with synagogues under attack and Jews physically assaulted in the streets. It was here that Adolf Hitler established the Nazi movement and developed his anti-Semitic ideas. Michael Brenner provides a gripping account of how Bavaria's capital city became the testing ground for Nazism and the Final Solution. In an electrifying narrative that takes listeners from Hitler's return to Munich following the armistice to his calamitous Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Brenner demonstrates why the city's transformation is crucial for understanding the Nazi era and the tragedy of the Holocaust. Brenner describes how Hitler and his followers terrorized Munich's Jews and were aided by politicians, judges, police, and ordinary residents. He shows how the city's Jews responded to the anti-Semitic backlash in many different ways-by declaring their loyalty to the state, by avoiding public life, or by abandoning the city altogether. Drawing on a wealth of previously unknown documents, In Hitler's Munich reveals the untold story of how a once-cosmopolitan city became, in the words of Thomas Mann, 'the city of Hitler.'

Science and Cooking: Physics Meets Food, From Homemade to Haute Cuisine
Based on the popular Harvard University and edX course, Science and Cooking explores the scientific basis of why recipes work. The spectacular culinary creations of modern cuisine are the stuff of countless articles and social media feeds. But to a scientist they are also perfect pedagogical explorations into the basic scientific principles of cooking. In Science and Cooking, Harvard professors Michael Brenner, Pia Sörensen, and David Weitz bring the classroom to your kitchen to teach the physics and chemistry underlying every recipe. Why do we knead bread? What determines the temperature at which we cook a steak, or the amount of time our chocolate chip cookies spend in the oven? Science and Cooking answers these questions and more through hands-on experiments and recipes from renowned chefs such as Christina Tosi, Joanne Chang, and Wylie Dufresne.

Audiobook
Descubra la apasionante historia de los judíos. Un pueblo hostigado durante siglos y en eterno éxodo, que aún conserva su identidad religiosa. Conozca la sorprendente historia del pueblo que se considera especialmente elegido por Dios. Acompáñele desde su nacimiento y posterior estancia en Egipto, hasta su esplendor monárquico. Viva el exilio de las tribus de Israel y el dominio de otras civilizaciones sobre la judía. Camine por el Israel controlado por los romanos, que a pesar de la represión, logró conservar su identidad religiosa. Siga los pasos de Jesús de Nazaret, rememore la creación de la Iglesia hace dos milenios y presencie durante el Medievo la coexistencia entre judíos, cristianos y musulmanes. Conozca la represión que muchos judaizantes sufrieron por la Inquisición española y la marginación que impusieron en la Península Ibérica los Estatutos de limpieza de sangre. Y mientras en los siglos XVIII y XIX destacados miembros de las comunidades judías occidentales procuraban equipararse jurídicamente a los demás ciudadanos, sufra con las víctimas los pogromos en Europa oriental y en la Rusia zarista. Siga a muchos judíos en su exilio a Estados Unidos y Argentina, y aprenda a revivir con angustia el exterminio nazi de millones de judíos europeos. Presencie, tras el control británico de Palestina, la creación de un Estado judío. Y conozca, además, las claves del complejo problema de Oriente Próximo, la difícil situación de tantos palestinos y la creciente preocupación que suscita la progresiva influencia internacional del fundamentalismo islámico. Juan Pedro Cavero Coll relata con rigor y amenidad la historia de un pueblo muchas veces perseguido, que durante siglos ha expresado su identidad a través de una variada riqueza cultural.
