The Coder Habits: Los 39 hábitos del programador profesional
Un buen programador no solo escribe código sino que, además, incorpora en su día a día rutinas, trucos y actitudes que le permiten ser más productivo, más creativo y un profesional aún mejor. Repítelas y asúmelas como algo natural hasta convertirlas en hábitos y, solo entonces, habrás dado un salto de nivel en tu carrera. Lo único que distingue a un buen profesional de otro del montón, son sus hábitos. No es necesario trabajar muchas más horas, sino hacerlo con más eficacia, productividad y más concentrado. No generes software con tantos bugs sino que programa mejor con las buenas prácticas de diseño y código limpio. Adopta las 'soft-skills' necesarias para un programador. Tampoco es necesario esforzarse hasta la extenuación, sino asumir de verdad los hábitos de un programador experto y más cotizado. Y así hasta completar las treinta y nueve píldoras de sabiduría descritas en el libro que te van a llevar varios pasos más allá en tu carrera. Comprenderás por qué hay quienes hace mucho más con menos esfuerzo, y quienes se esfuerzan mucho y consiguen poco. En 'The Coder Habits: Los 39 hábitos del programador profesional', están descritos todos estos hábitos, entre técnicos y de otra naturaleza, que multiplicarán tus resultados y te permitirán entrar en el grupo del 10% de los mejores. Por el autor de 'El Libro Negro del Programador' (nº1 en ventas en Amazon en su categoría), 'El Libro Práctico del Programador Ágil', 'El Método Lean MP' y 'El Arte del Programador Digital'. Libro ecléctico y único en su género, 'The Coder Habits' demuestra que no puede haber desarrollo técnico sin desarrollo personal, y que solo sumando ambas facetas, serás un gran profesional.

All about Mars Journeys and Settlement
A manned mission to Mars has been the dream of humanity at least since the nineteenth century when we first saw details of the surface and thought there might be canals filled with water there. Here I’ve looked at the history of unmanned exploration of Mars over the last fifty plus years, proposed missions to Mars, Mars Settlements, and other major issues regarding traveling to and living on Mars. Some proposals have lots of details of proposed scenarios if you want to read all of the engineering and scientific analysis work. I grew up in the 1960s when every kid in America was fascinated with the Space program and the Astronauts. I also watched not only the Apollo 11 moon landing, but all of the successive trips to the Moon and exploration of the surface. This may be a lot of the reason I became and Engineer, worked as NASA in Houston for several years, and applied to the Astronaut Program myself. My previous books on space are titled “Designing and Building Space Colonies-A Blueprint for the Future” and “All about Moon Bases-And Our Plans to Return to the Moon”. This book is written from a similar perspective. There are some probes which reported life on Mars and then other scientists questioned the results. We are still sending unmanned probes today to try to answer those questions. These three books will comprise the first three of my “Living in Space” series of books.

The Eighty-Dollar Champion: Snowman, The Horse That Inspired a Nation
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER November 1958: the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Into the rarefied atmosphere of wealth and tradition comes the most unlikely of horses-a drab white former plow horse named Snowman-and his rider, Harry de Leyer. They were the longest of all longshots-and their win was the stuff of legend. Harry de Leyer first saw the horse he would name Snowman on a bleak winter afternoon between the slats of a rickety truck bound for the slaughterhouse. He recognized the spark in the eye of the beaten-up horse and bought him for eighty dollars. On Harry's modest farm on Long Island, the horse thrived. But the recent Dutch immigrant and his growing family needed money, and Harry was always on the lookout for the perfect thoroughbred to train for the show-jumping circuit-so he reluctantly sold Snowman to a farm a few miles down the road. But Snowman had other ideas about what Harry needed. When he turned up back at Harry's barn, dragging an old tire and a broken fence board, Harry knew that he had misjudged the horse. And so he set about teaching this shaggy, easygoing horse how to fly. One show at a time, against extraordinary odds and some of the most expensive thoroughbreds alive, the pair climbed to the very top of the sport of show jumping. Here is the dramatic and inspiring rise to stardom of an unlikely duo, based on the insight and recollections of "the Flying Dutchman" himself. Their story captured the heart of Cold War-era America-a story of unstoppable hope, inconceivable dreams, and the chance to have it all. Elizabeth Letts's message is simple: Never give up, even when the obstacles seem sky-high. There is something extraordinary in all of us.

Niels Bohr: A Very Short Introduction
In this Very Short Introduction John Heilbron draws on sources never before presented in English to cover the life and work of one of the most creative physicists of the 20th century. In addition to his role as a scientist, Heilbron considers Bohr as a statesman and Danish cultural icon, who built scientific institutions and pushed for the extension of international cooperation in science to all nation states. As a humanist he was concerned with the cultivation of all sides of the individual, and with the complementary contributions of all peoples to the sum of human culture. Throughout, Heilbron considers how all of these aspects of Bohr's personality influenced his work, as well as the science that made him, in the words of Sir Henry Dale, President of the Royal Society of London, probably the 'first among all the men of all countries who are now active in any department of science.'

New Money: How Payment Became Social Media
A new vision of money as a communication technology that creates and sustains invisible-often exclusive-communities One of the basic structures of everyday life, money is at its core a communication media. Payment systems-cash, card, app, or Bitcoin-are informational and symbolic tools that integrate us into, or exclude us from, the society that surrounds us. Examining the social politics of financial technologies, Lana Swartz reveals what's at stake when we pay. This accessible and insightful analysis comes at a moment of disruption: from 'fin-tech' startups to cryptocurrency schemes, a variety of technologies are poised to unseat traditional financial infrastructures. Swartz explains these changes, traces their longer histories, and demonstrates their consequences. Getting paid and paying determines whether or not you can put food on the table. She shows just how important these invisible systems are. The data that payment produces is uniquely revelatory-and newly valuable. New forms of money create new forms of identity, new forms of community, and new forms of power.
